Small rooms

Application.

False alarms are more likely in small, acoustically live rooms such as small kitchens, glass entry airlocks, stairwells, small glass offices, and utility rooms. Shock sensors offer the best false alarm immunity and are the most economical if there is only one window to protect. If an acoustic sensor is preferred, you must match the range of the sensor with the size of the protected room and glass to minimize false alarms.

Installation.

In small room applications, follow these guidelines:?To protect a single window in a small room, use a 5150 shock sensor mounted on the glass or a 5414 or GS600 sensor mounted on the frame.?For windows that open, use a 5415A or GS611 sensor with a built-in magnetic contact ( Figure20 ). See Shock sensor testing on page8.?To protect multiple windows in a small room, use a 5600 ShatterPoint. ?Do not install an acoustic sensor with a large range in a small room. For example, a sensor with 25 ft. (7.5 m) diameter range in a 10 ft. (3.1 m) room increases the risk of false alarms. See Acoustic sensor testing with the 5709C on page6.
