DSC Glassbreak Detectors

Breaking a window is one of the easiest and most common ways for an intruder to enter a home or business. To help protect against this type of intrusion, an Acuity glassbreak detector is needed.

“Smart” enough to distinguish the sound of breaking glass from other common sounds found in homes and businesses, the detectors feature high-performance microphones and advanced microprocessor-based

Digital Sound Analysis (DSA) that can determine all types of breaking framed glass (plate, float, tempered, wired and laminated) up to 25 feet away. Acuity glassbreak detectors can be mounted on walls or ceilings.

Omnidirectional microphone

Advanced microprocessor-based glassbreak sensor

High-level static and transient protection

High RF immunity with SMD construction

White noise rejection mechanism

Installer test mode for glassbreak sensor

Alarm memory (latching LED) for glassbreak sensor

MOV transient / static protection

Jumper selectable sensitivity range

AcuityTM

Locating the Detector For optimum protection, Acuity glassbreak detectors should be placed in clear view of their intended area of protection. Curtains, blinds and other window coverings will absorb sound energy from the shattering glass. If this is a potential problem, mount the detector as close as possible to the protected glass.

Note: Do not mount the detector on the same wall as the protected glass or near objects, such as speakers, that produce prolonged sounds.

AFT-100 Glassbreak Simulator The AFT-100 glassbreak simulator provides the most reliable and accurate indication of the correct mounting location for the detector. Do not install the detector beyond the maximum recommended range, even if the glassbreak simulator reports additional range. Future changes in room acoustics could reduce any additional range.

Test for false alarm immunity by creating sounds in the room that will likely occur when the detector is armed.
