Windows with curtains and blinds

Application.

Many homes and offices have windows with curtains or blinds. The 5150 shock sensor can protect windows regardless of the type of window covering present. With proper placement, acoustic sensors can also protect windows with blinds and light drapes.

Installation.

Mount shock sensors in the corner of the glass, 1 in. (2.5 cm) from the frame. Shock sensors are not affected by curtains or blinds. See Shock sensor testing on page8.You can also mount a 5600 sensor on the window frame behind curtains or blinds to protect one or more windows ( Figure10 ). The sensor will protect a 10 ft. (3.1 m) area, although the range may be reduced if the window coverings are touching the glass. For windows that open, use a sensor with a built-in magnetic contact.For a larger range on windows with venetian or vertical blinds, mount a 5812NT ShatterPro 3 or a 5820A Recessed ShatterPro II on the ceiling ( Figure11 on page16), adjoining wall, or a wall opposite the glass you want to protect. See Acoustic sensor testing with the 5709C on page6.
