Wireless ShatterPro
small bathrooms
other small acoustically live rooms
For glass break protection in such applications, use Sentrol shock
sensors on the windows or window frames.
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.
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 wallassuming the glass to be protected is within the
sensors 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.
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.
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.
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)
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).
Dont 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
