Installation guidelines
When using glassbreak sensors, follow these guidelines:?Glass must be in good repair (not cracked) and securely mounted in its frame.?A bullet or BB going through the glass will probably not be detected. The glassbreak incident must leave a fist-sized hole before a sensor is expected to detect the incident.?Sensors are designed to work on glass that is a minimum of 1 square foot (0.3 x 0.3 m).?Acoustic glassbreak sensors are designed to detect breaks in framed windows from the outside in.
