DSC Acuity AMA-100 Installation Instructions

AMA-100
Addressable Glass Break Detector
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The Acuity AMA-100 is an advanced
acoustic glass break sensor, designed to
detect the sounds produced by the
shattering of framed glass. The AMA-100
is the result of an extensive research
program, designed to study the properties
of glass as well as the properties of
sounds produced by the shattering of
framed glass. The result is a detector
which provides exceptional sensitivity and
high false alarm immunity. High quality
manufacturing methods have been
combined with a meticulous final test, to produce a detector which is superior to
any other product of its kind.
Dynamic Signal Processing* provides accurate detection of plate, laminated,
wired and tempered glass types, while rejecting common false alarm sounds.
The AMA-100 uses a 2-wire connection for power and to communicate with the
control panel. This simplifies wiring and reduces installation cost. The AMA-100's
low current draw also maximizes the number of devices that can be attached to
an addressable loop.
