D. Set the glass type jumper to the P/T position and test the
detector's immunity to false alarms by creating 'household'
sounds: let a telephone ring, or clap your hands, or play a
loud audio recording or even break a dish or a drinking glass.
The green LED will flicker in response to any of these sounds,
indicating that the detector is functional. However, no alarm
should result - the red alarm LED must remain off.
Note: If the detector responds by alarming, replace it with
another unit and retest.
4.2 Glass Break Simulation Test
If tested in its regular operating mode, the detector won't respond
reliably to commercial glass break simulators. The GLASSTECH
generally identifies the sound generated by these simulators as a
false alarm. A special TEST switch has therefore been included,
to permit temporary downgrading of the GLASSTECH's signal
processing and decision making algorithms. This allows the unit
to be tested with simulators such as model FG-700 or FG-701.
Even in the test mode, a special combination of audio frequencies
must be generated for triggering the detector without actually
breaking glass. To achieve the correct effect, thump the protected
glass pane with a cushioned object, hard enough to trigger the
simulator. The displacement of the glass by the impact provides the
low frequency signal, and the simulator responds by sounding the
required high frequency signal.
Note: The FG-701 manual instructs you to switch certain glass
break detectors into the test mode by sounding a special signal.
This is not applicable to the GlassTech which has a test switch.
To assure success of the simulator-aided test, use a glass pane
of at least 0.5 x 0.5 m (1.5 x 1.5 ft). It is recommended (but not
obligatory) to set the glass type jumper to the ALL position.
A. Remove the trim strip from the detector's front cover, to
access the test switch (located just below the two LEDs).
B. Insert a pointed object (such as a pen) into the test switch
access hole and press for one second. This will switch the
GlassTech to the test mode for a 5-minute period. The Green
LED will light steadily throughout the test period.
C. Switch the simulator to the TEST and FLEX modes.
D. Hold the simulator close to the protected glass and press the
simulator's start button.
E. Within 8 seconds from pressing the start button, thump the
glass with a cushioned object hard enough to produce a low
frequency wave - take care not to shatter the glass.

F. The simulator should respond by sounding its own high-
frequency signal, and the detector should alarm. The alarm
can be verified by watching the red LED illuminate. In -AM
and -AM/F models, the buzzer should sound, provided that it
is enabled with the buzzer jumper.
G. Remount the trim strip at the front. Normal operation resumes
automatically 5 minutes after having pressed the test switch.
Note: if the LED latch jumper is set to ON, the LED will light
constantly upon termination of the test. To extinguish the LED,
temporarily remove the latch jumper from the ON position or
momentarily disconnect the power supply to the detector.
Important! conduct a simulation test at least once every 6
months.
4.3 Self-Diagnostic Routines
A. Regular Self Tests
All GlassTech models run a self-diagnostic routine once every 30
minutes, and if a malfunction is discovered, a TROUBLE period
begins - both LEDs light steadily, the trouble output pulls to
ground and the buzzer (in -AM models) sounds an alert. The
trouble indications will stop upon removal of the cause for trouble.
Note: The alarm relay is not affected by the trouble condition.
B. Anti-Masking
The anti-masking function protects against attempts at reducing
or totally suppressing the GlassTech's detection ability.
GlassTech models with the -AM suffix are equipped with an on-
board buzzer and a buzzer ON/OFF jumper. For anti-masking
purposes, the buzzer emits a short quiet chirp once every 30
minutes. Any lasting deviation from the normal signal pickup level
will initiate a 1 minute period of extensive testing. If the audio
disturbance still exists after the extensive testing period, a trouble
indication, similar to the one obtained in regular self tests, will
result (see Para. A above). The buzzer sounds an alert for as
long as the masking condition exists.
Important! The anti masking capability can be checked only
when the power-up 1-minute test period is over. The detector will
start to indicate trouble within about 15 minutes after having been
masked. Removal of the masking will cause the trouble indication
to cease within a few seconds.
