Insulated glass

Application.

Many modern buildings use windows that contain two panes of glass divided by an air space for added insulation. You can protect this insulated glass with shock and acoustic glassbreak sensors. As long as the inside pane of the glass breaks, the sensor will detect the break. It is possible to break the outside pane of glass without setting off an alarm.

Installation.

Installation for insulated windows is the same as for other windows. Mount 5150 or GS600 shock sensors in the corner of the glass or GS611 shock sensors on the frame. Mount 5600, 5620 or 5812NT acoustic sensors so that the protected glass is within the sensor’s range ( Figure16 ).See Acoustic sensor testing with the 5709C on page6 and Shock sensor testing on page8.
