Glass Break Detector
Product Introduction
The 5845GBW Glass Break Detector (product) is ideal for applications
where hardwired acoustic sensors are impractical, listens for actual
patterns of breaking glass using Pattern Recognition Technology™
across the full audio band. The factory set recognition patterns detect
breaking glass of framed perimeter windows in a building vs. a
drinking glass breaking within a room. This product features a 20-ft. (6
m) range from sensor to glass.
The product is suitable for use in quiet occupied areas on the perimeter
loop. The sensor’s low-profile housing conceals the wireless transmitter
and battery.
A simple hand clap feature lets the user confirm that the sensor is
operational, or a handheld tester can be activated at close range.
This wireless Glass Break Detector complies with the ANSI/UL 639
standard for Intrusion products. It is intended for residential indoor
dwelling unit applications and other areas approved by the authority
having jurisdiction (AHJ). It is not intended for use in industrial
applications.
This product operates in conjunction with your wireless Control Panel,
providing a local indication. Refer to the panel installation instructions
for revision verification details. Please contact Technical Support for any
questions regarding compatibility.

1. General Information
Congratulations on purchasing your Glass Break Detector. This product is
designed to be used with a Control Panel as an intrusion signaling
device.
Install the sensor on a perimeter loop armed whenever the door and
window contacts are armed. Avoid 24-hour loop applications where
the sensor is armed all day and all night. The false-alarm technology
will be pushed to its limit in a 24-hour loop.
The sensor’s false-alarm immunity is best in rooms with only moderate
noise. Some sounds can duplicate the points on the glass break
pattern the sensor detects. The sensor may not consistently detect
cracks in glass, or bullets which break through the glass. Glass break
sensors should always be complemented with interior protection.

2. Mounting Guideline
This product is a member of a reliable, high-quality product family
using the latest technology available. Review the information in this
section to ensure you get the most out of the product.
Choosing an Installation Location
The sensor must always be in direct line of sight of all windows to be
protected. The sensor cannot consistently detect glass breaking around
corners or in other rooms. There is no required front, back, up or down
orientation.
Wall mount…
The best wall-mount location is on the opposite wall, assuming the
glass to be protected is within the sensor’s range and line of sight. The
adjoining wall can also be used.
Ceiling mount…
Mount the sensor in a location that is in direct line of sight of the glass
to be protected. However, since sound travels directionally out from a
broken window, a position 8 ft. (2.4 m) into the room provides better
detection.
Use the following guidelines to determine the best mounting location:
o Mount the sensor 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
TVs, speakers, sinks, and doors.
o Mount the sensor in the direct line of sight of the glass to be
protected.
o Mount the sensor in a suitable environment: temperature
between 0 and 120°F (-18 and 50°C); and humidity between 10
and 90% non-condensing.
o Mount the sensor on a stable surface up to 25 ft. (7.6 m) from
the farthest point on the glass surface.
Recommended locations and Range
The sensor is 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 ft. (1 m) from the
glass. The maximum range depends on the type of glass being
protected:
o Armor-coated glass - Mount sensor no more than 12 ft. (3.6 m)
from the glass.
o Plate, tempered, laminated, and wired glass - Mounted on
the ceiling or the opposite or adjoining wall, maximum range is
25 ft. (7.6 m).

Locations to avoid
Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic components in this
product. To avoid causing damage to the product, to provide optimum
performance, and to prevent unnecessary nuisance alarms:
o Avoid rooms smaller than 10 x 10 ft. (3m x 3m).
o Avoid locations where lined, insulating, or sound-deadening
drapes or closed wooden shutters are used.
o Corner of a room.
o Do not install the sensor in humid rooms. Excess moisture on
the circuit board can eventually cause a short and a false
alarm.
o Avoid locations that expose the sensor to possible false alarm
sources such as:
− glass airlocks and vestibule areas
− kitchens
− corner mounting
− residential car garages
− small utility rooms
− stairwells
− bathrooms
− small acoustically live rooms.
− locations exposed to white noise, such as air
compressors, etc.
3. Mounting the Sensor

4. Basic Operations
This product is equipped with an intuitive normal mode operation.
Since the batteries are pre-installed, remove the battery pull tab to turn
ON power. The product shall search for a networked control panel to
pair with. During this time, Search Mode, the RF wireless module
transmits every ~ 5-seconds. Not pairing or enrolling into a control
panel within minutes of initial power up, places a large drain the
batteries. Failure to complete pairing results in dead batteries after 2-3
days time passes.
Normal Mode Operation
o In normal operation, the red LED remains OFF.
o In wake up, the red LED flashed ON with two quick flashes.
o In alarm mode, the red LED stays ON for 4 seconds. Sends an
alarm message to the control panel.
o In trouble or maintenance mode, the red LED does not activate
after a wake up test.
o In low battery mode, a message is sent to the control panel.
Note: the modes can be viewed from the Control Panel.

7. Testing the Product
This product may be tested during install or at anytime. It is
recommended the product be tested in place annually. This product is
sealed. The cover is not removable.
WARNING: The control panel must be placed into sensor test
mode while conducting any tests. Placing the control panel into sensor
test mode for all testing helps to protect against false alarms and
unintentional central station reporting.
This product has three test methods:
o Wake Up Test. A hand clap should wake up the glass break
detector.
o RF Communication Test. Tests the communication path with
the control panel.
o Glass Break Functional Test. Tests the functional operation of
the glass break sensing element.
Wake Up Test
To test the product locally is to clap your hands loudly above the sensor
and verify that the LED blinks twice. This test verifies that the product is
receiving power, and the microphone and circuit board are working
properly. It does not trip the sensor. The hand clap is only a momentary
test, so there is no significant affect on battery life.
Note: Room acoustics can artificially extend the range of a glass-break
sensor. The specified range of the sensor is set for worst-case
conditions. While it may work at extended range, it can miss a
minimum output break or room acoustics may change over time,
bringing sensor range back into normal 2-foot (6 m) conditions. Do not
exceed the rated range of the sensor, regardless of the tester results.
RF Communication Test
This section provides general guidelines for testing the product with the
control panel. For complete testing details, refer to the specific control
panel documentation.
A. Be sure the product is normal operation.
B. Set the control panel to sensor test mode to prevent an alarm
signal from being sent to the central-monitoring station if you
have a monitored system.
C. To generate a test alarm, remove the top cover generating a
tamper alarm. If the product is operating properly, an alarm
message is sent to the control panel.
D. The control panel beeps and shows the number of RF packets
received.
E. At the panel, exit sensor test mode.
Glass Break Functional Test
The product is designed to detect the breaking of framed glass
mounted in an outside wall. Testing the sensor with unframed lass,
broken bottles, etc., may not trip the sensor. The sensor typically does
not trip to glass breaking in the middle of the room. In rooms where
multiple sounds can reflect and duplicate the glass-break frequency
pattern. The Pattern Recognition Technology of the sensor ignores most
false alarm sounds, including glass break testers. To test the sensor,
use test mode. Test mode disables glass break pattern processing in
upper and lower frequencies. The sensor is then listening only for the
mid-range frequencies that the 5709C hand-held tester reproduces. It’s
the mid-range frequencies that determine sensor range.
Test Mode - To put the sensor in test mode, do the following:
A. Set the control panel to sensor test mode.
B. Use the 5709C handheld tester to put the sensor into test mode.
Set the tester to tempered glass and hold the tester on top of the
sensor.
C. Activate the tester. The sensor will alarm, then go into test mode
for one minute. In test mode, the LED will blink continuously. To
