Description
The glass break detector keeps a plane glass area within a
maximum radius of 2 m under surveillance.
Oscillations of glass break, which do not reach the glass break
detector with the sufficient amplitude and frequency, cannot be
detected.
Because of the low current consumption in quiescent condition
the glass break detector can be supplied directly from the zone
wire. It is only necessary to check if an increase of the current
in alarm condition will cause a sufficient change in the glass
break zone.
Mounting
To be able to detect a possible fall off, the glass break detector
should be mounted horizontally on the glass surface.
The distance between a longer side and of the detector and
the window frame must be 20 mm. The distance between the
side with the cable outlet and the frame must be between 5
and 20 mm. See Figure 2.
If the glass surface is not flat, for example, on a structured
glass, the detection is not possible. Also, it is not allowed to
use the glass break detector on a wired glass or a security
glass, because the wire netting and the plastic foil suppress
mechanical oscillations.

It is important that the glass is not pressed by any object, does
not have any cracks (which can cause false alarms), properly
fixed in the frame and not covered with any foils.
Caution:
The glass break detector is very sensitive. Knocking
at the glass break detector or other improper treatment could
cause a destruction of the detector.
The glass break detector must be mounted at the glass surface
with glue set (see "Optional accessories" on page 2). Follow
the instructions of the manufacturer.
The ceramic bottom of the glass break detector and the joint
area must be cleaned and degreased with spirit or methyl
alcohol.
Caution:
Each alien element between the bottom of the glass
break detector and the glass surface will affect the sensitivity.
Wiring
See Figure 3.
Before connecting, the wires must be electrically checked.
Testing
The function of the glass break detector can be tested after the
installation with the test set GS331.
