ShatterPro 3
Glassbreak Detector
Installation Instructions
Description
The ShatterPro 3 is an acoustic glassbreak detector designed
to detect breaking glass from framed windows in the perimeter
of a building. The detector is mounted in the building interior
and uses a power supply from a 12VDC control panel. The
detector is available in either a low-profile round housing or a
rectangular housing that connects easily to a single-gang box.

Features
The detector provides the following features:
• Range up to 25 feet (7.6 m) Internal spring clip allows
optimized room size coverage.
• Alarm memory After an alarm and until power is cycled,
the alarm memory can be checked with the hand-clap test.
• LED indicator Red LED provides detector test and
status indication.
• T amper r esistant Provides a screw that secures the cover
to the base to prevent tampering.
• Hand-clap test In addition to a test mode, you can test the
detector by clapping your hands.
• Optional tamper switch Sends a signal to the control
panel when the cover is removed from the base.
What You Will Need
You need the following tools and parts to install the detector:
• ShatterPro 3 detector including screw to secure the cover
to the base
• Screws and wall anchors
• Flat-blade screwdriver
• Phillips screwdriver
• Sentrol 5709C hand-held tester
• Avoid locations where lined, insulating, or sound deadening drapes are used.
• Mount 12 inches (30.5 cm) away from wall corners.
• Avoid locations where interior closed wooden shutters are
used.
• Locate in a suitable envionment as follows:
- T emperature between 32° and 122°F (0° and 50°C)
- Humidity between 10 and 90% non-condensing
• Mount the detector on a stable surface up to 25 feet (7.6 m)
from the farthest point on the glass surface. See Figure 2.
• Avoid locations that expose the detector to possible false
alarm sources such as:
- Glass airlocks and vestibule areas
- Kitchens
- Residential car garages
- Small utility rooms
- Stairwells
- Bathrooms
- Small acoustically live rooms
- Air vents
Selecting a Location for the Detector
The detector can be mounted on ceilings or on walls opposite
or adjacent the window to be protected. See Figure 2.
Use the following guidelines to determine the best location to
install the detector.
• Mount at least 3 feet (1 m) from glass windows
being protected.
• Windows must be at least 12 x 24 inches
(30.5 x 61 cm) square.

Multiple Window Coverage
The detector has a 360° coverage pattern that can be used to
cover several windows in a single room as follows:

mount
• Draw an imaginary line from the center of each window to
be covered in towards the center of the room.
• Mount the detector as close to where the lines intersect as
possible. See Figure 3.
• Do not mount the detector at more than a 60° angle from
the center of any window to be protected. See Figure 3.
Installing the Detector
All wiring must conform to the National Electric Code (NEC)
and/or local codes having jursidiction.
Important !
If you are unsure about a location, connect a 9V
battery to the detector and test it before permanently
mounting. See Testing the Detector.
Use the following steps to install the detector:
1. Run the security system wiring to the detector location.
2. Remove the front cover as follows:
- Round housing Press the release tab on the lip of the
base, twist the cover counter clockwise, and lift off. See
Figure 4.
- Rectangle housing Insert a flat-blade screw driver into
the slot on the bottom of the cover and gently pry up to
unlock the cover. Grasp the bottom of the cover and lift up
until the cover latches in the open position. See Figure 6.
3. Set the range with J3 on the circuit board. See Setting
the Range.
4. Remove the appropriate wiring and mounting
knockout holes from the base. See Figure 6.
5. Pull the wires through the knockout holes and use two
screws to attach the base to the surface. Use wall anchors
if necessary.
6. Strip 3/8 inch of insulation from each wire.
7. Connect the system wires to the appropriate screw
terminals on the base and tighten the screws. See Figure 7.
8. Replace the cover as follows:
- Round housing Line up the tabs on the base with the
corresponding tabs on the cover, press together and turn
clockwise until the cover snaps firmly into place. See
Figure 5.
- Rectangle housing Press the cover back down over the
detector until the cover snaps firmly into place.
9. Apply power. The red LED should flash once.
10. Test the detector. See Testing the Detector.
