Instructions

The mounting location can affect sensor detection ability. To
ensure optimum performance, the coverage zone width should
be no greater than two times the distance from the sensor to
the closest point of glass. For instance, if a sensor is mounted

AND PRODUCT/SAFETY INFORMATION.

10 ft. (3 m) from the glass, its optimum performance zone will
be 10 ft. (3 m) in either direction of the midpoint. You can
mount the sensors from 3.3 to 25 ft. (1 to 7.6 m) from the
farthest point of the glass. Figure 1 below shows the coverage
zone with D being the distance from the glass.

Introduction

This is the 5820A-W and 5825A-W ShatterPro II Advanced
Acoustic Sensor Installation Instructions. The ShatterPro II
sensor is designed to detect breaking glass from framed
windows in the perimeter of a building.

Install the sensors on a perimeter loop armed whenever the
door and window contacts are armed. To prevent false alarms,
avoid applications where glassbreak sensors are configured to
be active in all arming levels.

The sensor false alarm immunity technology functions best in
rooms with only moderate noise. Some sounds can duplicate
the points on the glassbreak pattern the sensors detect.

The sensors may not consistently detect cracks in glass or
bullets that break through the glass. Always complement
glassbreak sensors with interior protection.

Connect the sensors to a UL Listed control panel, or a power
supply that provides at least four hours of standby power.

Mounting location

You can mount the sensors on the ceiling or on a wall.

Wall mount

The best wall-mount location is on the wall opposite to the
glass to be protected, assuming this glass is within the sensor
range and line of sight. You can also use the adjoining wall.

Figure 1: Coverage zone

Use the following guidelines to determine the best mounting
location:

• Mount the sensors at least 3.3 ft. (1 m) from the windows
being protected and at least 4 ft. (1.2 m) from noise

sources such as TV’s, speakers, sinks and doors.

• Mount the sensors in the direct line of sight of the glass to

be protected.

• Avoid rooms smaller than 10 by 10 ft. (3 m by 3 m).

• Avoid locations where lined, insulating, or sound

deadening drapes or closed wooden shutters are used.

• Mount the sensors in a suitable environment: temperature

between 0 and 120°F (−18 and 50°C); and humidity

between 10 and 90% noncondensing. Do not install the
sensors in humid rooms. Excess moisture on the circuit
boards can eventually cause a short and a false alarm.

Ceiling mount

Mount the sensors in a location that is in direct line of sight of
the glass to be protected. However, since sound travels out
from a broken window, a position 8 ft. (2.4 m) into the room
provides better detection.

• Mount the sensors on a stable surface up to 25 ft. (7.6 m)
from the farthest point on the glass surface.

• Avoid locations that expose the sensors to possible false
alarm sources such as:

- Glass airlocks and vestibule areas

- Kitchens

- Corner mountings

- Residential car garages

- Small utility rooms

- Stairwells

- Bathrooms

- Small acoustically live rooms

Coverage range

The sensors are omnidirectional, providing 360° coverage.

Coverage is measured from a sensor to the point on the glass
farthest from the sensor. The sensors can be mounted as
close as 3.3 ft. (1 m) from the glass. The maximum range
depends on the type of glass being protected:

Armor-coated glass

Mount the sensors no more than 12 ft. (3.65 m) from the glass.

Plate, tempered, laminated, and wired glass

When the sensors are mounted on the ceiling or the opposite
or adjoining wall, (Figure 2 below) maximum range is 25 ft.
(7.5 m).

test mode, the LED will blink continuously. To extend test
time, activate the tester at least once a minute.

When the system is armed and the sensor trips to an alarm
condition, the LED will light solid for four seconds and then
revert back to a one minute test mode. At the end of one
minute, the LED will extinguish if it is in set up LED mode, or
the LED will light if it is in latching LED mode.

Sensor test

Before you can test the sensors, they must be in test mode
(blinking). To test the sensors, do the following:

1. Choose the laminated setting on the tester.

Testing

Test the sensor upon installation and if the window glass-type
is changed.

The sensors are designed to detect the breaking of framed
glass mounted in an outside wall. Testing the sensors with
unframed glass, broken bottles, etc., may not trip the sensors.
The sensors typically do not trip to glass breaking in the middle
of the room. To verify sensor range and operation, you need to
use the UTC Fire & Security 5709C hand-held tester.

Test mode

To put the sensors in test mode, do the following:

1. Connect a 9-volt battery to the sensor for pretesting.

2. Temporarily mount sensor in the desired location.

3. Use the 5709C hand-held tester to put the sensor into test
mode. Set the tester to tempered glass and hold the tester
on top of the sensor (Figure 3 below). Activate the tester,
this will trip the sensor into test mode for one minute. In

2. Hold the tester near the surface of the glass to be
protected and aim the speaker at the sensor. Be sure the
tester is at the point on the glass farthest from the sensor.
If closed drapes or curtains are present, hold the tester
behind them (Figure 4 below).

Figure 4: Testing behind curtains

3. Press the test button on the tester. The LED on the sensor
should stay on for four seconds to indicate the glass is
within detection range of the sensor. If the LED does not
stay on for four seconds, move the sensor and retest.

For latching LED, provide a power reset by removing power
and resetting the LED.
