4 Intrusion SensorApplication Notebook
Product overview
There are two basic types of glassbreak sensors: acoustic and shock. Acoustic sensors listen for the unique sound of glass breaking, while shock sensors feel the wave generated by glass breaking. >
Acoustic sensors
Acoustic glassbreak sensors are an important part of an effective perimeter detection system. It is very important to choose the right sensor for a particular application or environment. GE offers you a variety of choices for virtually any glassbreak application. >
ShatterPro 3, the premier technology.
ShatterPro 3 acoustic glassbreak sensors give you a potent combination of range, reliability, flexibility, and ease of use. They offer a 25 ft. (7.6 m) radius range for extended glassbreak detection. Using patented pattern recognition
technology, the sensor is designed to eliminate common false alarms and improve detection of framed glass breaks. It does this by listening for the unique sound of glass breaking at numerous points across the entire frequency spectrum, not just at one or two points. >
ShatterPro Plus, 24 hours a day.
The ShatterPro Plus is an acoustic glassbreak sensor combined with a passive infrared motion sensor (PIR). The sensor can detect break-ins through glass while eliminating occupant-generated false alarms. >
