Interlogix Wireless ShatterPro 5845 Installation Instructions

Wireless ShatterPro

small bathrooms

other small acoustically live rooms

For glass break protection in such applications, use Sentrol shock

sensors on the windows or window frames.

Do Not Install In Humid Rooms

The Wireless ShatterPro is not hermetically sealed. Excess moisture on

the circuit board can eventually cause a short and a false alarm.

Avoid 24-Hour Loop Applications

Avoid adding (learning) the sensor into 24-hour sensor groups, where

the sensor will be armed even when the room is in use. Adding the

ShatterPro to a perimeter sensor group, which is armed only when the

perimeter doors and windows are armed, will help prevent false alarms.

Install the ShatterPro on a perimeter loop which is armed whenever the

door and window contacts are armed.

Protecting Occupied Areas

The ShatterPro false alarm immunity is best in rooms with only

moderate noise. For 24-hour occupied area protection, use Sentrol

shock sensors or the Sentrol 5885 ShatterPro Plus.

Proper Testing

The ShatterPro is designed to detect the breaking of framed glass

mounted in an outside wall. Testing the sensor with unframed glass,

broken bottles, etc., may not trip the sensor. The ShatterPro typically

does not trip to glass breaking in the middle of the room no burglar

breaks glass in the middle of a room, so such breaks are false alarms.

NOTE: ShatterPro may not consistently detect cracks in glass, or

bullets which break through the glass. Glassbreak sensors should

always be backed up by interior protection.

ShatterPro Mounting Location

For best false alarm immunity the sensor should be located at least 4'

(1.2 m) away from noise sources (televisions, speakers, sinks, doors,

etc.). The sensor must always be in direct line of sight of all windows

to be protected. It cannot consistently detect glass breaking around

corners, in other rooms, etc. There is no front or back, up or down,

orientation of the sensor required.

Wall  Mounting

Since the sound of breaking glass travels directionally out from the

broken window, the best location for mounting the sensor is on the

opposite wall—assuming the glass to be protected is within the

sensor’s range and line of sight. The ceiling and adjoining (side) walls

are also good sensor locations.

Ceiling  Mounting

Mount the sensor in any type of ceiling in a location which is in direct

line of sight of the windows to be protected. However, since sound

travels directionally out from the broken window, a position 6 - 10'

(2-3m) into the room provides better detection.

Using the ShatterPro

ShatterPro sensors are omni-directional, providing 360° coverage.

Coverage is measured from the sensor to the point on the glass farthest

from the sensor. The sensor can be mounted as close as 3.3' (1m) from

the glass.

1. Mounted on opposite wall or adjoining walls, range is 20' (6m) for

plate, tempered, laminated and wired glass.

2. Mounted on the ceiling, maximum range is 20' (6m) for plate,

tempered, laminated and wired glass.

3. For armor-coated glass, mount sensor no more than 12' (3.65m)

from glass.

Recommended  Glass  Size

Minimum 1' x 2' (0.3m x 0.6m) or larger

Glass thickness:

Plate:

3/32" to 1/4" (2.4mm to 6.4mm)

Tempered:

1/8" to 1/4" (3.2mm to 6.4mm)

Wired:

1/4" (6.4mm)

Laminated:

1/8" to 1/4" (3.2mm to 6.4mm)

Optimizing Detection and Avoiding

False Alarms

For Best Detection, Avoid Installing In

Rooms with lined, insulating, or sound deadening drapes

Rooms with closed wooden window shutters inside

Corners of a room

For Best False Alarm Immunity

Avoid 24-hour loop applications (perimeter loop OK).

Don’t use where white noise, such as air compressor noise, is

present. (A blast of compressed air may cause a false alarm.)

Avoid rooms smaller that 10" x 10" (3m x 3m) and rooms with

multiple noise sources such as small kitchens, glass booths noisy

areas, garages, small bathrooms, etc.

Areas to Avoid

glass airlocks and glass vestibule areas

noisy kitchens

residential car garages

small utility rooms

stairwells
