Thick glass

Application.

Some installations may have glass thicker than the 0.25 in. (0.6 cm) maximum thickness rating of acoustic and shock sensors. Since thick glass absorbs much of the shock energy from a break, it is more of a challenge for glassbreak detection. Shock sensors can be used on thick glass if they are thoroughly tested (multiple sensors may be needed). ShatterPro sensors are not designed to protect thick glass and should not be used for this application.

Installation.

Use the 5150 or GS600 shock sensor and mount the sensor on the glass approximately 1 in. (2.5 cm) in from the corner ( Figure18 ). See Shock sensor testing on page8 and add multiple sensors as needed.
