D-306217 GB-502 PG2 Installation Instructions 5
Local Diagnostics Test
Procedure
Before testing, separate the base from the cover.
The following table indicates the received signal strength.
LED response Reception
Green LED blinks Strong
Orange LED blinks Good
RED LED blinks Poor
No blinks No communication
IMPORTANT! Reliable reception must be assured. Therefore, "poor" signal strength is not acceptable. If you receive a "poor" signal from the device,
re-locate it and re-test until a "good" or "strong" signal strength is received.
Note: For detailed Diagnostics Test instructions refer to the control panel Installer Guide.
Testing Procedures
Switching the Sensor to the Test Mode
After power-up or closing the cover, the detector will automatically enter a 15 minute test mode. For remote switching of the detector to test mode
(via User or Installer Code), refer to the PowerMaster Installer Guide, Chapter 6, Periodic Test.
Testing the Sensor
A. Basic Test
Test the detector's low frequency (FLEX) respons by thumping the protected glass with a cushioned object. The green LED will light for 2 seconds.
Repeat the test if necessary.
B. Extended Glassbreak Simulation Test (optional)
This optional test activates the detector with Flex and audio sounds, that simulate the glass breaking sound of a window. Take care not to shatter the
glass during testing.
Procedure
To test complete the following steps:
1. Switch the detector to Test Mode (see "Switching the Sensor to the Test Mode" above).
2. Generate a flex signal and simulate a glass breaking sound by using one of the following methods:
l Simulator in manual mode
Hold the simulator close to the protected glass. Thump the glass and immediately start the simulator manually to create the sound of break-
ing glass. Examples of such simulators are AFT-100 or 5709C.
l Simulator with automatic activation
Hold the simulator close to the protected glass. Thump the glass, the simulator creates the sound of breaking glass automatically. Examples
of automatic simulators using flex signals are FG-700/ FG-701 or GT-2.
l Hand clap
Thump the glass and immediately clap hands firmly three times. This method is best used in relatively small rooms with a maximum distance
up to 5 or 6 m (16 ft or 20 ft).
Note
The instructions for some simulators instruct you to switch the glass break detector to Test mode by sounding a special signal. The GB-502
PG2 detector has an inbuilt Test mode therefore it is not necessary to use that switch.
Use a glass pane with dimensions of at least 0.5 x 0.5 m (1.5 x 1.5 ft) to assure success of the simulator test.
Always aim the simulator at the detector being tested.
3. The detector will alarm, the red LEDlights for 2 seconds.
4. Repeat the test if necessary.
IMPORTANT! Room acoustics can artificially extend the range of a glass-break sensor. The specified range of the GB-502 PG2 has been established
for worst-case conditions. While the sensor is likely to function at additional range, it may miss a “minimum output” break, or room acoustics may be
changed at some future time, restoring sensor coverage back to the normal range of 6 m (20 ft).
Do not exceed the rated range of the sensor, regardless of what the tester shows.
