Glassbreak Sensor (El-2606) - Electronics Line 3000 iConnect Installation Manual

Glassbreak Sensor (EL-2606)

The EL-2606 is an intelligent acoustic glassbreak sensor with an incorporated wireless transmitter.
Mounting Considerations
The EL-2606 acoustic sensor is omni-directional, providing 360º coverage. The coverage is measured from the sensor to
the point on the glass farthest from the sensor. The sensor can be mounted as close as 1m from the glass.
Figure B- 11: Acoustic Sensor Range Measurement (Plate, Tempered, Laminated And Wired Glass)
Sensor range:
If mounting on the ceiling, the opposite wall or adjoining walls, the maximum range is 6m (20') for
plate, tempered, laminated and wired glass.
For armor-coated glass, the maximum range is 3.65m (12').
Minimum recommended glass size:
0.3m x 0.6m (1' X 2')
Glass thickness:
Plate: 2.4mm to 6.4mm (3/32" to 1/4")
Tempered: 3.2mm to 6.4mm (1/8" to 1/4")
Wired: 6.4mm ( 1/4"))
Laminated: 3.2mm to 6.4mm (1/8" to 1/4")
For best detection:
The sensor must always be in direct line of sight of all windows to be protected.
If mounting on the wall, try to install the sensor directly opposite the protected window. If this is not
possible, adjoining side walls are also a good location.
If mounting on the ceiling, install the sensor 2-3m (6'-10') into the room.
Avoid installing in rooms with lined, insulating or sound deadening drapes.
Avoid installing in rooms with closed wooden window shutters inside.
Avoid installing in the corners of a room.
The EL-2606 is best suited to rooms with moderate noise.
Caution: The sensor may not consistently detect cracks in the glass, bullets which break through the glass or
glass breaking around corners and in other rooms. Glassbreak sensors should always be backed up
by interior protection.
For best false alarm immunity:
Locate the sensor at least 1.2m (4') away from noise sources (televisions, speakers, sinks, doors, etc.).
Avoid rooms smaller than 3m x 3m (10' X 10') and rooms with multiple noise sources.
Do not use where white noise, such as air compressor noise, is present (a blast of compressed air may
cause a false alarm).
Do not define the zone as 24Hr. It is recommended to register the EL-2606 to a perimeter arming group that
arms the perimeter doors and windows of the premises.
Avoid humid rooms – the EL-2606 is not hermetically sealed. Excess moisture can eventually cause a
short circuit and a false alarm.
