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

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.
