Installation Instructions

Using the ShatterPro

ShatterPro sensors are omni-directional, providing 360° coverage.
Coverage is measured from the sensor to the point on the glass farthest
from the sensor. The sensor can be mounted as close as 3.3' (1m) from
the glass.

 small bathrooms
 other small acoustically live rooms
For glass break protection in such applications, use Sentrol shock
sensors on the windows or window frames.

1. Mounted on opposite wall or adjoining walls, range is 20' (6m) for
plate, tempered, laminated and wired glass.

2. Mounted on the ceiling, maximum range is 20' (6m) for plate,
tempered, laminated and wired glass.

3. For armor-coated glass, mount sensor no more than 12' (3.65m)
from glass.

20' (6 m)

Recommended Glass Size

Minimum 1' x 2' (0.3m x 0.6m) or larger
Glass thickness:

Plate: 3/32" to 1/4" (2.4mm to 6.4mm)
Tempered: 1/8" to 1/4" (3.2mm to 6.4mm)
Wired: 1/4" (6.4mm)
Laminated: 1/8" to 1/4" (3.2mm to 6.4mm)

20' (6 m)

Do Not Install In Humid Rooms

The Wireless ShatterPro is not hermetically sealed. Excess moisture on
the circuit board can eventually cause a short and a false alarm.

Avoid 24-Hour Loop Applications

Avoid adding (learning) the sensor into 24-hour sensor groups, where
the sensor will be armed even when the room is in use. Adding the

ShatterPro to a perimeter sensor group, which is armed only when the
perimeter doors and windows are armed, will help prevent false alarms.

Install the ShatterPro on a perimeter loop which is armed whenever the
door and window contacts are armed.

Protecting Occupied Areas

The ShatterPro false alarm immunity is best in rooms with only
moderate noise. For 24-hour occupied area protection, use Sentrol
shock sensors or the Sentrol 5885 ShatterPro Plus.

Proper Testing

The ShatterPro is designed to detect the breaking of framed glass
mounted in an outside wall. Testing the sensor with unframed glass,
broken bottles, etc., may not trip the sensor. The ShatterPro typically
does not trip to glass breaking in the middle of the room no burglar
breaks glass in the middle of a room, so such breaks are false alarms.

NOTE: ShatterPro may not consistently detect cracks in glass, or
bullets which break through the glass. Glassbreak sensors should
always be backed up by interior protection.

Optimizing Detection and Avoiding
False Alarms

For Best Detection, Avoid Installing In

 Rooms with lined, insulating, or sound deadening drapes
 Rooms with closed wooden window shutters inside
 Corners of a room

For Best False Alarm Immunity

 Avoid 24-hour loop applications (perimeter loop OK).
 Dont use where white noise, such as air compressor noise, is

present. (A blast of compressed air may cause a false alarm.)

 Avoid rooms smaller that 10" x 10" (3m x 3m) and rooms with

multiple noise sources such as small kitchens, glass booths noisy
areas, garages, small bathrooms, etc.

Areas to Avoid

 glass airlocks and glass vestibule areas
 noisy kitchens
 residential car garages
 small utility rooms
 stairwells

ShatterPro Mounting Location

For best false alarm immunity the sensor should be located at least 4'
(1.2 m) away from noise sources (televisions, speakers, sinks, doors,
etc.). The sensor must always be in direct line of sight of all windows
to be protected. It cannot consistently detect glass breaking around
corners, in other rooms, etc. There is no front or back, up or down,
orientation of the sensor required.

Wall Mounting

Since the sound of breaking glass travels directionally out from the
broken window, the best location for mounting the sensor is on the
opposite wallassuming the glass to be protected is within the
sensors range and line of sight. The ceiling and adjoining (side) walls
are also good sensor locations.

Ceiling Mounting

Mount the sensor in any type of ceiling in a location which is in direct
line of sight of the windows to be protected. However, since sound
travels directionally out from the broken window, a position 6 - 10'
(2-3m) into the room provides better detection.

ShatterPro Pre-Testing

To remove sensor module, depress latch,
rock the module up off the posts

Use the Sentrol 5709C hand-held tester to set the sensor into test
mode. Set the tester to tempered glass, hold the tester speaker directly
on top of the sensor and activate the tester. The sensor will alarm, then
it will go into test mode for one minute. When in test mode the LED on
the sensor will blink continuously. Extend the test mode time by firing
the tester at the sensor at least once a minute.

Test the Sensor

1. Holding the tester near the surface of the glass, aim the tester at
the ShatterPro and hold down the test button. If drapes or blinds

are present, test with the hand-held tester behind the closed drapes
or blinds (do not use sensor with heavy or lined drapes).

2. The 5709C tester has a different setting for each type of glass. The
tester should always be set for tempered or laminated glass (either
is correct and both have the same range) unless the installer is
certain that all the glass to be protected is plate glass.

When the LED on the sensor goes solid momentarily while the tester is
triggered, the glass is within detection range.

NOTE: EACH TIME THE SENSOR ALARMS IT ALSO GOES
INTO TEST MODE FOR ONE MINUTE.

Hand Clap Test

The ShatterPro® 5845 can be checked by the installer or end user while
in normal mode, simply by clapping hands loudly under the sensor.
The LED will blink twice, but the sensor will not trip. This verifies
visually that there is power to the sensor, and that the microphone and
circuit board are functioning.

The hand clap activation is only momentary, so there is no appreciable
effect on battery life.

To disable this custom test function, remove the circuit board from the
housing and clip one of the wires on the LED. The LED will no longer
be operational, but the sensor can still be tested using the transmitter
and the control panel.

Mounting Options

The Wireless ShatterPro has two mounting options:

If the LED does not go solid, but simply continues blinking, re-position
the sensor closer to the protected windows and retest. This may require
adding additional sensors in order to achieve adequate coverage. It is
very rare that the sensor will not activate within its stated range of
coverage. Double check adequate battery strength in the hand-held
tester. A new tester battery will likely restore range.

The sensor will automatically change from test mode to normal mode
approximately one minute after it last hears the hand-held tester.

IMPORTANT ! Room acoustics can artificially extend the range of a

glassbreak sensor. The specified range of the ShatterPro has been
established for worst-case conditions. While the sensor will likely

function at additional range, it may miss a minimum output break, or
room acoustics may be changed at some future time, bringing sensor
range back into normal 20' (6m) conditions.

Do not exceed the rated range of the sensor, regardless of what the
tester shows.

1. Place the wireless transmitter inside the sensors base housing. For
some large transmitters, it will be necessary to remove the
transmitter board from its housing.

2. For large transmitters which will not fit into the sensor base, or for
a smaller appearance with a standard size transmitter, use the
transmitter bracket with the sensor module (5845 models only).
Remove the sensor module by depressing the catch in the center of
the housing. Snap the sensor module onto the bracket and route
the wires into the transmitter. Use the double-stick tape provided
to hold the wire in the brackets wire channel, and to hold the
transmitter to the bracket. Mount the sensor/transmitter bracket
assembly. (Note: If the transmitters mounting holes dont fit the
brackets hole pattern, the
bracket will have to be
mounted to the wall or

How Test Mode Works

The Pattern Recognition Technology



of the ShatterPro ignores most
false alarm sounds, including glassbreak testers. In order to test the
ShatterPro, a test mode is used. With the sensor in test mode, process­ing of the glassbreak pattern in the upper and lower frequencies is
disabled. The ShatterPro is then listening only for the mid-range
frequencies, which the 5709C tester reproduces. Its the mid-range
frequencies that determine sensor range.

IN NORMAL MODE THE LED DOES NOT BLINK UNLESS
IT HEARS A LOUD SOUND. IN NORMAL MODE, THE
SHATTERPRO WILL NOT TRIP TO THE TESTER,
UNLESS THE TESTER IS HELD NEXT TO THE SENSOR.
