To verify sensor range and operation for acoustic sensors (for 2000 models, see Acousticsensor testing with the GT-2 tester on page7), use the 5709C tester and do the following:1.Set the tester to the appropriate glass type. Use the tempered setting if you are unsure about the glass type.2.Hold the tester 1 in. (2.5 cm) from the sensor ( Figure1 ) and activate the sensor.
