ShatterPro® Glassbreak Sensor

Installation Sheet

Product Summary

The ShatterPro® omnidirectional glassbreak sensor (60-873-

95) provides 360 degree coverage. It can be mounted on the
ceiling, or on the opposite wall, or on adjoining walls. It has a
range of up to 20 feet for glass panes 1' x 2' (0.3 m x 0.6 m)
or larger.

Figure 1: ShatterPro Glassbreak Sensor

The maximum detection range is 20' (6 m) for plate,
tempered, laminated and wired glass. For armor-coated
glass, the maximum detection range is 12' (3.65 m).
Coverage is measured from the sensor to the point on the
glass farthest from the sensor (see D and D' in Figure 2
below). See Specifications on page 4 for recommended
glass thickness.

Installation Guidelines

For best detection, avoid installing in rooms with lined,
insulating, or sound deadening drapes or rooms with closed
wooden window shutters inside.

 Do not use sensor near air compressors. A blast of

compressed air may cause a false alarm.

 Avoid stairwells, glass booths, and all rooms smaller

than 10' x 10' (3 m x 3 m).

 The Pattern Recognition Technology™ of the

ShatterPro ignores most false alarm sounds. Some
sounds can duplicate the glass break pattern the
ShatterPro detects, however, so the ShatterPro works
best in rooms with only moderate noise. Avoid rooms
where white noise, such as a fan, is present. Avoid
rooms with noisy areas or multiple noise sources such
as small kitchens or bathrooms, garages, etc.

Note: For glass break protection in these applications

(where ShatterPro is not appropriate), use shock
sensors on the windows or window frames.

 Avoid adding (learning) the sensor into 24-hour sensor

groups, where the sensor will be armed even when the
room is in use. Like a motion detector, a glass break
sensor may be tripped when occupants are in the
protected area. 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.

 The device may not work properly in humid rooms. Do

not install it in such conditions.

Tools needed

Note: ShatterPro may not consistently detect cracks in

glass, or bullets that break through the glass.
Glassbreak sensors should always be backed up by
interior protection.

Installation

Use the following procedure to install the ShatterPro.

1. Choose a mounting location. Since the sound of
breaking glass travels straight out from the broken
window, the best location for mounting the sensor is the
wall opposite the window--assuming the glass to be
protected is within the sensor range and line of sight.
The ceiling and adjoining (side) walls are also good
sensor locations. A ceiling mounted sensor will have
better detection if located 6' - 10' (2 m - 3 m) back from
the glass rather than directly above the glass.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT EXCEED THE 20' MAXIMUM

DETECTION RANGE OF THE
SHATTERPRO. While the sensor may

function beyond the 20' range it could miss a
minimum output glassbreak. Furthermore,
changing conditions in the room, such as
rearranging furniture, could reduce the range
of the sensor back to 20'.

2. Remove the cover from the ShatterPro base. Hold the
base against the wall or ceiling at the desired mounting
location. Insert screws through the two mounting holes
in the base to attach it to the mounting surface.

Testing the ShatterPro

Pattern Recognition Technology™ of the ShatterPro ignores

most false alarm sounds, including glassbreak testers, so

the ShatterPro must be set to “test mode” during the

following procedure (see step 2). When the sensor is 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 tester
reproduces. It is these frequencies that determine the sensor
detection range.

Figure 5: Testing the ShatterPro

Caution: You must be free of static electricity before

handling the transmitter circuit board. Touch a
grounded, bare metal surface before touching the
circuit board, or wear a grounding strap.

3. Insert two 3 V batteries as shown in Figure 4 and
replace the cover.

4. Use the procedures in the following sections; “Testing
the ShatterPro” and “Testing the System” on page 3 to
make sure the sensor is working properly with the panel.

The ShatterPro is designed to detect the breaking of framed
glass mounted in an outside wall. Testing the sensor with
unframed glass, such as broken bottles etc. may not trip the
sensor. Use the hand-held tester and the following
procedure to test the ShatterPro.

1. Set the tester to “tempered glass.”
The hand-held tester has a different setting for each
type of glass. You should always set the tester for
tempered or laminated glass (either is correct and both
have the same range) unless you are certain that all the
glass to be protected is plate glass.
