GENERAL INFORMATION
The 5852 Wireless Glassbreak Sensor with Transmitter is used in
systems that support 5800 wireless devices. The self-contained
sensor includes a transmitter that can send alarms, tamper signals,
and low battery messages to the control panel. Each 5852 has a
unique identification code (serial number ID) permanently assigned
during manufacture. The ID must be "enrolled" by the control panel
prior to use in a system. The sensor is designed for continuous
operation using a single 9V lithium battery.
LED INDICATORS
The 5852 is equipped with two built-in LED indicators, a green
Event LED and a red Alarm LED. When the LEDs are enabled, they
light in a variety of patterns to convey the sensor’s operational status.
The table below summarizes the LED messages.

REMOTE LED ENABLE/DISABLE MODE
The sensor’s Remote LED Enable/Disable mode allows you to
enable or disable the sensor’s LEDs with the FG-701 Glassbreak
Simulator. To enable or disable LEDs with the FG-701,
proceed as follows:
1. Set LED switch S4, position 4 to OFF.
2. Set the FG-701 switches to the ACTIVATE and MANUAL
positions.
3. Stand within 15 feet (4.6 m) of the sensor, point front of
FG-701 at sensor, and press red START button. The
simulator generates an audio activation signal, and the
sensor’s green LED flashes once per second.
4. Repeat step 3, and the sensor’s green LED will stop
flashing.
5. Within 2 seconds, repeat step 3 to send another activation
code. If disabling LEDs, the sensor’s green LED will flash
once. If enabling LEDs, the green LED will flash two or
three times.
6. Clap your hands to test LEDs. If LEDs are enabled, the
green LED will flicker. If LEDs are disabled, the green
LED will remain off.
"ENROLLING" THE 5852 SERIAL NUMBER
The 5852's serial number must be "enrolled" by the control
panel prior to use in the system. The control panel's installation
instructions provide detailed programming instructions for
"enrolling" transmitter serial numbers. Before programming,
proceed as follows:
1. Install battery (if not installed). Observe polarity!
2. Remove cover assembly.
3. When programming the transmitter, note the following:
• Input Type = 3 (Supervised RF)
• Loop Number = 1
When prompted, transmit from the sensor (momentarily
press the enroll switch located on the exposed transmitter
PC board, press the tamper switch, etc.). You can also
manually enter the sensor’s serial number.
4. Test the sensor after "enrolling" the serial number in the
system. Refer to the Testing the 5852 section.
MOUNTING
1. Determine the optimum mounting location, noting the
following (see Figure 4):
•Mount on ceiling or wall, at least 7 feet from floor.
•Ensure that the sensor has a direct, unobstructed line-of-
sight to the protected glass.
•Mount no more than 25 feet from the farthest protected
glass.
•Make sure there are no intervening partitions, curtains,
etc. that could block the transfer of shock or sound
waves.
NOTE: If window dressing is present, it will absorb
sound energy from breaking glass. In such cases, the
sensor should be mounted between the protected glass
and the window dressing.
•Avoid locating the sensor near sources of ambient
vibration or sound, such as air conditioners, fans,
blowers, air ducts, or loudspeakers.
•Avoid locations where furniture can be moved so that it
blocks the sensor's line-of sight to the glass.
•Avoid locations where a door can be opened or closed
such that it blocks the sensor's line of sight to the glass.
•Avoid locations near doors or windows that may be
slammed.
2. Before permanently mounting the 5852, conduct tests to
verify adequate signal strength (refer to control panel
instructions), and, if necessary, relocate the 5852 (pressing
the sensor's test switch will send a transmission). It is also
recommended that, before mounting permanently, the
sensor should be tested to ensure it is within reliable audio
and flex range from the protected glass. Refer to the
Testing the 5852 section for the procedure.
3. If not already removed, remove the sensor's cover assembly
by removing the screw located near the LED Enable
switch. Carefully pull cover assembly away from case.
4. Mark the mounting hole locations on the ceiling or wall
using the case as a template.

5. Drill holes (if necessary) and insert mounting screws part
way into the ceiling or wall (use anchors, if necessary).
6. Hang narrow part of case mounting slots over screws and
tighten securely.
TESTING THE 5852
Self Tests
The sensor automatically performs a series of self-tests during
power-up. If any self-test fails, the sensor signals a trouble
condition by alternately flashing LEDs, about once per second.
If possible, the sensor will continue to identify alarm situations.
To reset the sensor, either remove power or enter and exit the
Test mode. If the sensor fails the self-test, return it for service,
even if the condition corrects itself.
Test Intervals
The 5852 should be tested at least once each year. To test the
sensor, use the Intellisense Model FG-701 or Ademco GBS7
Glassbreak Simulator. Other glassbreak simulators will not give
an accurate indication of range.
Entering the Test Mode
You must place the sensor in the Test mode before you can test
it. You can enter the Test mode manually, or by using the
GSB7 or FG-701. In Test mode, the LED Disable switch is
overridden.
To enter the Test mode manually, proceed as follows:
1. Open cover door of sensor.
2. Use screwdriver to short test mode pads on PCB (see
Figure 3).
3. Close cover door of sensor.
To enter the Test mode with the Ademco GBS7 or Intellisense
Model FG-701, proceed as follows:
1. Stand within 10 feet (3 m) of sensor.
2. Switch the glassbreak simulator to ACTIVATE and
MANUAL modes.
3. Point front of glassbreak simulator toward sensor, and
press red START button. The simulator will buzz a short
activation code.
When the sensor enters the Test mode, the green LED on the
sensor flashes about once per second. If the green LED does
not flash, move closer to the sensor and repeat the procedure.
Testing the Sensor (Flex and Audio Signals)
1. Place sensor in Test mode, as previously described.
2. Set glassbreak simulator switches to the TEST and FLEX
positions.
3. Press the red START button on the simulator. The
simulator will click on and starts an 8-second armed
period.
4. Position the simulator near the farthest point of the
protected glass, and point it directly at the 5852 sensor. If
window coverings are present, close them fully and hold
the simulator between the coverings and the protected glass
during testing.
5. Generate a flex signal by carefully striking the glass with a
cushioned tool. The simulator should respond by
producing a burst of glassbreak audio.
If the sensor receives both the flex and audio signals properly,
the red Alarm LED will light. (The Alarm memory does not
latch in the Test mode.)
Testing the Sensor (Audio Signals Only)
The glass break simulator can be used to test the sensor’s ability
to receive audio signals only. See the simulator’s operating
instructions for additional information. When the 5852 receives
the audio signal, the green Event LED will flicker.
Tamper Switch
The 5852 is equipped with a combination normally-closed (NC)
cover and wall tamper. Each unit is shipped with the cover
tamper operational, and the wall tamper disabled.
To enable the wall tamper, refer to Figure 5 and proceed as
follows:
1. Remove plastic tab on back of sensor using needlenose
pliers. The wall tamper arm will then extend through the
hole.
2. Install wall tamper screw so that it just makes contact with
bottom of tamper cavity when unit is mounted. Use flat-
head M4 or M5 (#8 or #10) screw.
3. After installing the wall tamper screw, position rear
housing of sensor over screw, and mark locations for the
mounting screws.
Final Testing
To ensure maximum protection against false alarms, activate
any device in the area that may automatically cycle (e.g.,
pumps, generators, heating/air conditioning units, etc.). If the
cycling devices trigger an alarm, mount the sensor in a different
location.
Exiting the Test Mode
When you have completed testing, exit the Test mode by
following the same procedure used to enter the Test mode.
However, the sensor will automatically exit the Test mode after
5 minutes.

MAINTAINING PROPER OPERATION
To maintain the 5852 sensor in proper working condition, it is
important to observe the following:
1. Replace the battery when the system indicates that the 5852
has reported a low battery condition.
2. Units should never be relocated without the advice or
assistance of the alarm service company.
3. Fans, air conditioners, blowers, loudspeakers, or other
sources of vibration and sound should not be introduced
into the protected area after installation of sensors. If this
is unavoidable, the alarm service company should be
notified and the system should be readjusted/re-tested.
