GlassProtect
is a wireless indoor glass break detector recognizing the sound of
shattering the glass at a distance of up to 9 meters. GlassProtect can operate up
to 7 years from a pre-installed battery and has a socket for connecting a third-
party wired detector.
GlassProtect connects to the Ajax security system via the protected
radio protocol. The communication range is up to 1,000 meters in line of sight.
Also, GlassProtect can be connected to third-party security systems using the
or
integration modules.
Users can configure GlassProtect via the
for macOS, Windows, iOS, or
Android. The system notifies users of all events through push notifications, SMS,
and calls (if activated).
The user can connect the Ajax security system to the central monitoring station
of a security company.

Functional elements
Operating Principle
GlassProtect uses a sensitive electret microphone to detect the sound of glass
breaking, consisting of a low-frequency hit sound and high-frequency crashing
sound of glass shatters. Such two-stage glass break detection decreases the risk
of false triggering.

GlassProtect detector does not react to the breaking of the film-covered glass: shockproof,
sunscreen, decorative, or any other type of film. To detect the breaking of such kind of
glass, we recommend using the
wireless opening detector with shock
and tilt sensors.
If triggered, GlassProtect immediately transmits the alarm signal to the
,
activating the
(if connected) and notifying the user and security company.
Connecting

Before starting connection:
Only users with administrator rights can add the device to the hub.
Pairing the detector with hub:

2.
Switch on the hub and check the internet connection (via Ethernet cable
and/or GSM network).
3.
Make sure that the hub is disarmed and does not update by checking its
status in the Ajax app.

in the Ajax app.
2.
Name the device, scan or type the
QR code
(located on the detector body and
packaging), and select the location room.

For detection and pairing to occur, the detector should be located within the
coverage area of the wireless network of the hub (at a single protected object).
The connection request is transmitted for a short time: at the moment of
switching on the device.
If the device failed to pair (LED blinks once per second), switch it off for 5 seconds
and retry. The detector connected to the hub appears in the list of devices in the

Connecting to Third-Party Systems
To connect the detector to a third-party central unit using the
or
integration module, follow the recommendations in the user
manual of the respective device.

Functionality testing
The Ajax security system allows conducting tests for checking the functionality of
connected devices.
The tests do not start immediately but within a period of 36 seconds when using
standard settings. The test time start depends on the settings of the detector
ping interval (the paragraph on “
Jeweller
” settings in hub settings).
Detector functionality testing
Having defined the location of the detector and having fixed the device with the
bundled adhesive tape, test the detection zone.
GlassProtect does not react to clapping!
Testing the detector
Hit the glass with your fist without breaking it. If the detector catches a low-
frequency sound, the LED blinks. Simulate a high-frequency glass shattering
sound for 1.5 seconds after the first hit with a special tool or hitting a glass with a
Jeweller Signal Strength Test
Detection Zone Test
Attenuation Test

Switch on/off all the appliances that usually operate in the room: generators, air
conditioners, etc. If this triggers the detector, try to change the sensitivity or
relocate GlassProtect.
Use the sensitivity level, at which the detector correctly passes both test stages
and does not respond to any devices operating in the room.
Installing the device
Selecting the Location
In some cases, the household activity can cause false alarms
The location of GlassProtect depends on its remoteness from the hub, and
obstacles hindering the radio signal transmission: walls, floors, large objects
inside the room.
The device developed only for indoor use.
