Installation Instructions

The SiXGB is a wireless glassbreak detector intended for use with Honeywell controls that support SiX™ Series
devices.

Mounting Guidelines

> 1m
(3.3')
< 7.6m (25')

The SiXGB can be mounted on the
wall or on the ceiling:

> 1m
(3.3')
> 2.0m (6.5')

• within 7.6 m (25 feet) of the
protected glass

> 5 cm
(2”) Diameter

• within clear view of the protected
glass
• at least 2 m (6.5 feet) from the floor

Optimal
Satisfactory
No

• at least 1 m (3.3 feet) from forced
air ducts
• at least 1 m (3.3 feet) from sirens or
bells greater than 5 cm (2 inches) in
diameter

W all Mount ( To pView)
Ceiling

• between the protected glass and
any heavy window coverings

• Avoid mounting the detector on the
same wall as the protected glass,
on free-standing posts or pillars, or
in rooms with noisy equipment (air
compressors, bells, power tools,
etc.), if this equipment is operated
when the detector is armed.

To remove the mounting bracket:
Turn the top of the detector 15 degrees counterclockwise and separate the mounting bracket.
NOTE: Before mounting the device permanently,
conduct Go/No Go tests (see controller’s
instructions) to verify adequate signal strength and
adjust the device location and orientation as
necessary.

*NOTE: Enrollment time varies depending on the
signal strength between the device and the
controller.

• The device sends its unique MAC ID
(Serial Number) and Services information
to the controller.
• The controller registers the device and
displays the transmitter data on screen.
4. The Green [G1] LED is ON for 3 seconds
and the controller beeps to confirm
enrollment.
5. Trigger the detector as shown to complete
enrollment.
6. Press SAVE.
If the sensor is not successfully enrolled during
the enrollment period, the LED turns off and the
device powers down. Activate the tamper, power
down and up again, or use the FG-701
Glassbreak Simulator to restart the enrollment
process.
The device can also be manually enrolled. See
the Controller’s Programming Guide for details.

If the SiXGB Test Mode is activated by the FG701, the [G2] LED will flicker, then be off for 3 seconds, then flash once per second.
This feature is used for field diagnosis. To save power, the LEDs are not visible during Normal Mode.

Test the SiXGB

Detector

Test Mode can be activated remotely from the Controller (see
Controller’s manual), or on-site with an FG-701 Glassbreak
Simulator, only when the system is disarmed.
