International ShatterPro Glassbreak Sensor
Installation Sheet
Product summary
The International ShatterPro omnidirectional glassbreak sensor
(RF903I4) provides 360 degree coverage. It can be mounted on
the ceiling, the opposite wall, or on adjoining walls. It has a range
of up to 6 m for glass panes 0.5 m x 0.6 m or larger.

The maximum detection range is 6 m for plate, tempered,
laminated, and wired glass. For armor-coated glass, the
maximum detection range is 3.65 m. Coverage is measured from
the sensor to the point on the glass farthest from the sensor (see
D and D' in Figure 2 below). See "Specifications" on page 3 for
recommended glass thickness.

Note: ShatterPro may not consistently detect cracks in glass, or
bullets that break through the glass. Glassbreak sensors should
always be backed up by interior protection.
Installation guidelines
•
For best detection, avoid installing in rooms with lined,
insulated, or sound deadening drapes or rooms with closed
wooden window shutters inside.
•
Don't use near an air compressor. A blast from compressed
air may cause a false alarm.
•
Avoid stairwells, glass booths, and all rooms that are smaller
than 3 m x 3 m.
•
The Pattern Recognition Technology
ignores most false alarm sounds. Some sounds can
duplicate the glassbreak pattern the ShatterPro detects,
however, the ShatterPro works best in rooms with only
moderate noise. Avoid rooms where white noise, such as a
fan, is present. Avoid rooms with noisy areas or multiple
noise sources such as small kitchens, bathrooms, garages,
etc.
Note: For glassbreak protection is these applications (where
ShatterPro is not appropriate) use shock sensors on the
windows and window frames.
•
Avoid adding (learning) the sensor into 24-hour sensor
groups, where the sensor will be armed even when the room
is in use. Like a motion detector, a glassbreak sensor may
be tripped when occupants are in the protected area. Adding
the ShatterPro to a perimeter sensor group, which is armed
