Chapter1Glassbreak/shock sensors 13 Bathroom windows
Application.
Bathrooms are challenging environments for glassbreak sensors. Humidity can be very high and bathrooms are acoustically live rooms. These attributes produce a greater potential for false alarms when acoustic sensors are used. Shock sensors are a better choice and have fewer problems than acoustic sensors in high humidity environments such as bathrooms. >
Installation.
For best false alarm immunity in bathrooms, use the hermetically-sealed GS600 shock sensor with 12 ft. (4 m) of range mounted on the glass ( Figure8 ). To protect windows that open, use the frame-mounted GS611 shock sensor with built-in magnetic contact. Both sensors work with the GS614 analyzer. >
