System overview
RADION glassbreak is a wireless sensor that detects
breaking glass. It is equipped with a tamper switch
and factory preset glass break sensitivity settings
providing flexible configuration to maximize false
alarm immunity and catch performance in any
environment.
Functions
Dual Acoustic Technology
When an object hits a pane of glass, the glass absorbs
the blow and emits a low frequency sound pressure
wave, called the flex wave. When the force of the blow
is too great, glass shatters and emits a high frequency
audio signal. A bell ringing, or a vase breaking
produces a similar audio signal, but does not produce
a flex wave. The glassbreak detects the flex wave first,
and the audio signal second, reducing false alarms
from items that only emit high frequency audio signals.
The glassbreak detects breaking plate, tempered,
wired, and laminated glass up to 6.4 mm (0.25 in)
thick through blinds and lightweight, unlined drapes.
The omni-directional microphone contained within the
glassbreak can detect an audio signal in a 360 degree
radius, allowing for supurb, acoustic detection and
monitoring.
Glass Break Sensitivity
Factory-set sensitivity levels allow the detector to suit
any environment.
Tamper Switches
The glassbreak has a wall and cover tamper switch
that transmits a tamper signal when someone removes
the device from its base, or pulls it away from the wall.
Self-locking Enclosure
The sliding self-locking enclosure has an integrated
bubble level to make installation easier.
