
Avoid installing in the corners of a room.
The EL‐2606 is best suited to rooms with moderate noise.
The detector may not consistently detect cracks in the glass, bullets which break through
the glass or glass breaking around corners and in other rooms. Glassbreak detectors
should always be backed up by interior protection.
For best false alarm immunity:

Locate the detector at least 1.2m (4ʹ) away from noise sources (televisions, speakers,
sinks, doors, etc.).

Avoid rooms smaller than 3m x 3m (10ʹ X 10ʹ) 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.
Areas to avoid:

Glass airlocks and glass vestibule
areas

Noisy kitchens

Residential car garages

Small utility rooms

Stairwells
For glass break protection in such applications, use shock detectors on the windows or window
frames connected to an EL‐2602 universal transmitter.
Installation Procedure
Figure B- 19: EL-2606 (Cover Off)
1. Open the housing using a small flat‐head screwdriver to separate the base from the cover.
2. Remove the insulator separating the battery from the contacts on the battery holder.
When you apply power and the tamper switch is open, the EL‐2606 enters Test mode
during which a transmission is sent every few seconds. You can terminate Test mode by
closing the tamper switch. Test mode is automatically terminated after approximately
five minutes.
Due to the occurrence of voltage delay in lithium batteries that have been in storage, the
batteries may initially appear to be dead. In this case, leave the unit in Test mode for a few
minutes until the battery voltage level is stabilized.
