Finding a Suitable Location
The SMCGB10-Z must always be in direct line of
sight of all windows to be protected. The
SMCGB10-Z cannot consistently detect glass
breaking around corners or in other rooms. There
is no required front, back, up or down
orientation.
Wall Mount
The best wall-mount location is on the opposite
wall, assuming the glass to be protected is within
the sensor's range and line of sight. The
adjoining wall can also be used.
Ceiling Mount
Mount the SMCGB10-Z in a location that has a
direct line of sight of the glass to be protected.
Since sound travels directionally out from a
broken window, a position 8 ft. (2.4 m) into the
room provides better detection.
To determine the best mounting location, mount
the SMCGB10-Z:
At least 3.3 ft. (1 m) from the windows being

protected and at least 4 ft. (1.2 m) from
noise sources such as TVs, speakers, sinks,
and doors.
 In the direct line of sight of the glass to be
protected.

Recommended Locations and Range
The SMCGB10-Z is omni-directional, providing
360° coverage. Coverage is measured from the
SMCGB10-Z to the point on the glass farthest
from the sensor. The sensor can be mounted as
close as 3.3 ft. (1 m) from the glass. The
maximum range depends on the type of glass
being protected:
Armor-coated glass: Mount the SMCGB10-Z no

more than 12 ft. (3.6 m) from the glass.
Plate, tempered, laminated, and wired glass:
