Glass display and jewelry cases

Application.

Museum curators and retailers with glass display and jewelry cases often want glassbreak sensors inside their cases. Both shock and acoustic sensors can be used in this application.Acoustic sensors sealed within a glass display case are extremely live and are vulnerable to false alarms if the case is accidently struck by keys or other metal objects. For this reason, acoustic sensors are only appropriate for applications where the sensor will only be armed when the premises are not occupied. For occupied or 24-hour protection, use shock sensors.

Installation.

The 5150 and GS600 shock sensors mount directly on the glass and are the best choice if only one piece of glass needs to be protected. For protecting multiple glass walls in the case, use one or more frame-mounted 5600 sensors. Use a 5620 sensor with built-in magnetic contact to detect a forced opening. To prevent sensor tampering, you must place the sensors inside the case ( Figure18 ). See Shock sensor testing on page8 and use multiple sensors as needed.If using multiple shock sensors is not a viable solution, use a single acoustic sensor with a limited range. We do not recommend the ShatterPro sensors for this application.
