INSTALLATION TIPS

1. The ShatterPro is designed to detect the shattering 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 break tests in the middle of a room as such breaks are false
alarms.

2. False alarms are most likely to occur when installed on a 24-hour loop in
glass airlocks and glass vestibule areas, when mounted above sinks,
when used in residential car garages and in other small, acoustically live
rooms and rooms where multiple sounds can refl ect and eventually dupli­cate the glass break frequency pattern. For occupied area glass break
protection in such applications, use Sentrol shock sensors.

warranties for merchantability and implied warranties for fi tness, are valid only until warranty
expires. This Linear LLC Warranty is in lieu of all other warranties express or implied.
All products returned for warranty service require a Return Product Authorization Number
(RPA#). Contact Linear Technical Services at 1-800-421-1587 for an RPA# and other important
details

3. Installing the ShatterPro on 24-hour loops will increase false
alarms. The ShatterPro is recommended for perimeter loops and
is designed to function without false alarms in occupied areas. On
a 24-hour loop, which is armed all day/all night every day, the false
alarm technology will be pushed to its limit since some sounds in
some conditions can duplicate the points on the glass break pattern
that the ShatterPro detects. Install the ShatterPro on a perimeter loop,
which is armed whenever the door and window contact are armed.
For occupied area installations, ShatterPro’s false alarm immunity
is best in rooms with only moderate noise.

4. ShatterPro detects the shattering of glass. Like all glass break sensors,
it may not consistently detect cracks in glass or bullets which break through
the glass or break out the glass. Glass break sensors should always be
backed up by interior protection.

IMPORTANT!!!

Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fi ll an important need in
portable wireless signaling. However, there are some limitations which must be observed.

✶ For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and

Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, they have limited transmitter power and
therefore limited range.

✶ A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be

blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of
code settings.

✶ Changes or modifi cations to the device may void FCC compliance.
✶ Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected

interference or fault.

✶ A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a

wholesale distributor or dealer, and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate
users.

NOTE:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protectionagainst harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular

Installation Instructions

Model TGB-96 Product # SSA00016

The TGB-96 is a glass break detector with a built-in transmitter designed for
use with Linear’s SX Format Receivers. When breaking glass is detected, the
transmitter sends a digitally coded signal to its companion receiver/control.

The digital SX code format features more than one million possible codes.
Each transmitter is precoded at the factory to a unique code so no fi eld
coding is required. The TGB-96 can send three different signals; alarm, low
battery and status.

The unit is powered by two 3-volt lithium batteries. These batteries will last
for approximately two years under normal climatic conditions. If the battery
voltage drops below a preset level, a low battery signal is sent with every
alarm or test transmission.

NOTE TO THE INSTALLER: Regular maintenance by the installer and
frequent user testing are vital for proper system operation. Refer to the fi gure
under “MOUNTING” for test button locations. THE TRANSMITTER

SHOULD BE TESTED AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH.

The installer should assume responsibility for developing and offering a
regular maintenance program to the user as well as acquainting the user
with the proper operation and limitations of the alarm system and its
component parts. Recommendations must be included for a specifi c pro­gram of frequent testing to ensure the system’s proper operation at all times.

As with all glass break sensors, detection is reduced with same-wall
mounting, since such detection is partially dependent on glass break sound
refl ecting off the opposite wall. Test range with Sentrol’s 5709C tester held
fl at against the glass. Depending on room acoustics, there may be a
reduction in range.

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 that wall is within the sensor’s range. For this same reason, a
ceiling mounted sensor will have better detection located 6-10’ (2-3 m) back
from the glass rather than directly above the glass.

USE A SHATTERPROTM FOR:

• Perimeter loops for occupied or unoccupied buildings.

• Rooms with blinds and unlined drapes.

• Recommended glass size of 1’ x 2’ (0.3 m x 0.6 m) or larger.

• Minimum glass size of 1’ x 1’ (0.3 m x 0.3 m).

• Glass thicknesses as follows:
Plate Glass: 3/32” to 1/4” (2.4 mm to 6.4 mm)
Tempered Glass: 1/8” to 1/4” (3.2 mm to 6.4 mm)
Wired Glass: 1/4” (6.4 mm)
Laminated Glass: 1/8” to 1/4” (3.2 mm to 6.4 mm)

FOR BEST DETECTION, AVOID INSTALLING IN:

• Rooms with lined, insulating or sound deadening drapes.

• Rooms with closed wooden window shutters inside.

• Ceilings higher than 15’ (4.5 m), if mounting on ceiling.

• 20’ (6 m) radius of coverage for tempered, wired, laminated glass.

• Use 20’ (6 m) radius if unsure of glass type.

• Sensor radius range of 20’ (6 m) to the wall is the same as 25’ (7.6 m) or
greater when measuring on the angle from the sensor to the bottom of
the glass.

• If not using hand-held tester to verify range, reduce range to 15’ (4.5 m)
for windows with blinds and unlined drapes.

• Reduce coverage 50% for armor-coated glass.

FOR FALSE ALARM IMMUNITY, AVOID INSTALLING IN:

• 24-hour loop applications (perimeter loop OK).

• Where white noise such as air compressor noise is present. (May cause
false alarms by saturating the glass break frequency spectrum.)

• Rooms smaller than 10’ x 10’ (3 m x 3 m) and rooms with multiple sounds
such as small kitchens, glass booths, noisy areas, garages, etc.

SHATTERPROTM 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

Mount the ShatterProTM on an adjoining or opposite wall from the windows
to be protected. For best detection, sensors should not be mounted on the
same wall as a window to be protected.

Ceiling Mounting

Mount the sensor on any type of ceiling in direct line of sight of the windows
to be protected, at least 1’ (0.3 m) and preferably 3’ (1 m) back from the
glass.

SHATTERPROTM PRE-TESTING

Remove insulator strip from between battery clip and battery.

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 senso r w il l a la rm , t he n i t w il l g o i nt o
test mode for one minute. When in test mode the LED on the sensor will
blink continuously. Extend the test mode time by fi ring 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

are present, test with the hand-held tester behind the closed
drapes or blinds (do not use sensor with heavy or lined drapes).
If the sensor is mounted on the same wall, point the tester at the
opposite wall.

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.

and hold down the test button. If drapes or blinds

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 verifi es 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 not 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

1. Remove insulator strip from between battery clip and battery.

2. Program the transmitter into control unit using learn mode and by
pressing the Test Button.

3. Mount the ShatterPro™.

4. Secure transmitter to ShatterPro™ using double-stick tape provided.
Orient as shown below.

5. Snap the ShatterPro™ cover in place.

6. Test with Sentrol 5709C Hand-held Tester as directed.

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

If the LED does not go solid, but simply continues blinking as before,
reposition 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 artifi cially extend the range of a
glassbreak sensor. The specifi ed 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’ (6 m) conditions. Do not exceed the rated range of the

sensor, regardless of what the tester shows.

HOW THE TEST MODE WORKS

The Pattern Recognition TechnologyTM of the ShatterProTM ignores most
false alarm sounds, including glassbreak testers, in order to test the
ShatterPro
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.
