1. General Information

The 5853 Wireless Glassbreak detector with
Transmitter senses the sound of breaking plate,
tempered, laminated, wired, coated and sealed
insulating glass. The self
-contained detector includes a
transmitter that can send alarms, tamper
signals, and
low battery messages to the control panel. The sensor
is compatible with 5800
-series wireless hardware*, and
is designed for continuous operation using
one
3V
lithium
battery
(CR-123A or equivalent; included).

Prior to installation, you
must:

•

Connect its battery
by removing the tab,

•

Adjust the detector’s sensitivity, and

•

“Enroll” the detector’s serial number.
Refer to the following sections to install the 5853.

This detector is both UL and ULC listed.

*
Compatible control units for use
in Canada require the use of
listed RF receivers that have been subjected to compatibility
analyses by Underwriters’ Laboratories of Canada. Refer to the
Installation Instructions for the control unit before installing
burglar alarm components.

2. Connecting
Battery
/Initial Power Up

To connect the battery
, remove the tab from the end of
the battery holder. The detector will start its power up
sequence, in which both the LED indicators will
illuminate for one second. (The LED indicators are
described lat
er in these instructions.)

3. Adjusting Detector Sensitivity (Range)
The 5853 has four sensitivity settings, which are set
using the SENS1 and SENS2 DIP switches. The
settings are: 1) maximum; 2) medium; 3) low; and 4)
lowest. By default, sensitivity is set to MAXIMUM.

To change the detector’s sensitivity, use a small
screwdriver to adjust the SENS1 and SENS2 switches,

4. Enrolling Detector Into 5800
-Series Receiver

Before the control panel will recognize the 5853, you
must program the device's serial number into the
control panel. This process, ("enrolling") is described in
detail in the control panel's installation inst
ructions.

When programming the transmitter, specify:

•

Input Type = 3 (Supervised RF)

•

Loop Number = 1

You can transmit the device’s serial number
automatically or enter it manually. To transmit the
number automatically
: open the c
over, click
and release
the tamper switch, and wait a minimum of five seconds
before repeat
ing a minimum of
two times
. To enter the
serial number manually, refer to the control panel’s
instructions to enroll the
serial ID number which appears
on the product.

5. Selecting Insta
llation Location

The 5853 can be mounted on the ceiling or the wall.
Choose a mounting location that is at least 2.1m
(7
feet
) from floor and no more than 7.6m
(25 feet
) from
the farthest protected glass. Be sure the detector has
an unobstructed line-of
-sight to the protected glass!

Before mounting the detector permanently, test it to
ensure that it functions satisfactorily in the chosen
mounting location. Verify that the detector can detect
glassbreak sounds, following the directions in the
“Testing the Detector” section. Ensure that the 5853 is
within range of the receiver, followi
ng the instructions
for the signal
-strength test found in the control panel’s
installation instructions.
(To send the signal required
by the test, activate the detector's f
ront tamper switch.)

If the detector fails, relocate it and repeat both tests.

6. Mounting the Detector

NOTE:
If using wall tamper and installing on dry wall
(sheet rock), position the detector so that the wall
tamper is over a wall stud or ceiling jois
t, or use a
drywall anchor so the tamper screw will not pull out.

NOTE
: If the
device is ceiling mounted, the end with
the hole (Microphone end) should face the protected
glass.

To mount the
detector:

1.
Using the 5853 mounting holes as a template,
mark moun
ting locations on the ceiling or wall.

2.
If using the optional wall tamper,
remove the
battery
, then mark the wall tamper location
through its mounting hole.
The tamper screw must
be securely m
ounted. See details on page 1.


3.
If required by the mounting locat
ion, install wall
anchors for the mounting screws.

4.
Secure the 5853 to the wall or ceiling, oriented
so the microphone has the best line-of
-sight to
the protected glass.

5.
Reinstall the
battery
if previously removed.

6.
Close and secure the detector front cover.

7. Testing the Detector

The detector should be tested at least once each year.
Test the detector with the FlexGuard FG
-701 Glassbreak
Simulator. Other simulators will not give accurate
indication of range.
To enter the Test Mode with the FG
-701:

1.
Stan
d within 15 feet
(4.6 m
) of the detector.

2.
Switch the FG
-701 to ACTIVATE and
MANUAL
modes.

3.
Point the front
[speaker]
of the glassbreak
simulator towards the detector and press the red
START but
ton. The simulator buzzes a short
activation code.

When the detector enters Test Mode, the green LED on
the detector flashes about once per second. If the
green LED does not flash, move closer to the detector
and repeat the procedure.

To enter Test Mod
e manually:

1.
Open the front cover.

2.
Use a screwdriver to short the
Test Mode pads
on the PC board (see diagram on next page).

3.
Close the front cover.

The detector’s green LED blinks approximately once per
second to indicate that it has entered the test mode.
Testing the Detector (flex and audio signals):

To test the 5
853, do the following:

1.
Place the detector in Test Mode.

2.
Set the FG
-701 switches to the TEST and FLEX
positions.

3.
Position the FG
-701 near the farthest point of
the protected glass, and point
the speaker

directly at the detector. If window coverings are
pres
ent, close them fully and hold the
FG
-701 between the coverings and the
protected glass.

4.
Press the red START button. The simulator
clicks on and starts an eight
-second armed
period.

5.
Generate
a flex signal by carefully striking the
glass with a cushioned t
ool. The FG
-701
responds with a burst of glassbreak audio.
Do
not substitu
te flex si
gnal by clapping, tapping
the
FG
-701, etc. Only generate flex
signal by
striking framed glass.

If the detector receives both the flex and audio
signals properly, its red
Alarm LED lights for 5
seconds.
(Red Alarm LED does not latch.)

Testing the Detector (audio signals only):

The FG
-701 can also be used to test the detector’s
ability to receive audio signals only. See the FG
-701
Operating Instructions for additional information.
When
it receives the audio signal
only, the detector
flickers
its green Event LED.

Exiting Test Mode:

When you have finished testing, exit Test Mode by
following the same procedure used to enter Test Mode.
The detector automatically exits Test M
ode five minutes
after the last
event
is detected.

8. LED In
dicators

The detector is equipped with two LEDs: a green Event
LED and a red Alarm LED. When the LEDs are
enabled during testing, they light in a variety of patterns
to convey the detector’s op
erational status. The
following table summarizes the LED mess
ages.
(Please note that the LEDs are only enabled during
Test Mode, and are inactive during normal operation.)

10. Maintaining Proper Operation

To maintain the 5853 Glassbreak Detector
in proper working
order, please observe t
he following:

Replace the battery
when the system indicates a low battery
condition (refer to the control panel’s operating instructions.)
Be sure to replace the
battery
with the proper type and
voltage
. To ensur
e proper power down sequence, wait a
minimum of 60 seconds before
installing the new battery.
After a proper power down
sequence, a f
resh battery will
cause a power up s
equence in which both LED indicat
ors will
illuminate for one second.

The installer sho
uld inform the end user that fans, air
conditioners, blowers, loudspeakers, or other sources of
vibration and sound should not be introduced into the protected
area after installation of
glassbreak detectors. If unavoidable,
the end user must c
ontact the
alarm service company to re-
adjust/re-
test the equipment as needed. Additionally, this device
should not be relocated without the advice or assistance of the
