The AGD-100 wireless glass-break detector is designed for
operation as part of the ABAX two-way wireless system. It is
supported by the ACU-100 controller with firmware in version
1.06 or later. The detector can be used for detection of breaking
plate, laminated or tempered glass. The glass break is signaled on
registering a low-frequency tone (impact sound), followed by
a high-frequency tone (sound of broken glass). The high-
frequency channel is analyzed for four seconds from receiving
the low-frequency sound wave, caused by the impact. Sensitivity
of the high-frequency channel is set by radio. When in the test
mode, which is launched remotely, the detector will signal alarm
if a high-frequency sound only is registered by the microphone.
The INDIGO TESTER is recommended to be used for testing the
detector.
Explanations for Fig. 1:
1 - screen.
2 - microphone.
3 - LED indicator. It lights red in the test mode only, indicating
communication with the controller (during polling), registration of
low- or high-frequency
contact.
4 - tamper contact, which responds to opening the housing and
pulling it off from the surface.
5 - CR123A 3 V lithium battery which ensures operation for approx. 3-year period. The
detector controls the battery status. When the voltage drops to 2.6 V, the "low battery"
information is sent to the controller. The low battery signaling continues until the battery
is replaced.
1. Installation
The detector is designed for indoor installation, attached directly to the wall. The protected
glass surfaces must remain within the device detection range.
Before mounting the detector permanently, check the level of signal received
from the detector by the ACU-100 controller and, if necessary, change the place
of installation so as to select the optimum location in terms of communication.
Install the battery inside the detector just before registering it in the controller. If
unregistered or having no communication with the controller, the detector will
consume more energy, which will reduce the battery life.
Curtains, drapes, furniture upholstery, acoustic tiles, etc. will reduce the
detection range of the device.
