1. INTRODUCTION
The BGE-5742 Wireless Audio Switch’” is designed to
detect intrusions initiated by the breaking of glass barriers
such as windows and commercial doors. The Audio Switch
isdesigned around a state-of-the-art microprocessor which
providesaccuratedigitalanalysisof theglass breaksounds.
The BGE-5742 also incorporates the Ademco 5716 Alert III
transmitter to form a completely wireless glass break unit.
The BGE-5742 Wireless Audio Switch” has a red indicator
to indicate an alarm condition. The unit’s audio sensitivity
can be set to HI or LOW via the shunt jumper located on the
back of the unit. Refer to illustration A.
The BGE-5742incorporates
the Ademco 5716 Alert Ill v
Universal Transmitter for
wireless communication to
the Ademco 5700 or 4280
based wireless alarm
systems. This transmitter is
built into the BGE-5742 and
is powered from the same 9
volt battery used by the
BGE-5742.-There are-two 6
oosition dio switches used

to set the unit’s “House ID”
and ‘Transmitter ID”. Refer
to the installation instructions for proper ID setting.

II. INSTALLATION
1. LOCATION:The BGE-5742 may be located on theceiling
just above the glass barrier to be protected, on the same
wall, on an opposite wall, or an adjacent wall. The Wireless
AudioSwitch’” should be located with an open field between
the unit and points of entry; no partitions, walls, furniture,
etc. should be between the unit and the glass to be protected.
The unit must be located within a 15 foot radius of the glass
being protected. Refer to illustration B. If the BGE-5742 is
mounted within 7 feet of the glass to be protected, the
sensitivity should be set to “LOW”. When the BGE-5742 is
mounted on the same wall, all sensitivity distances should
be reduced by 50%.
In choosing a location, it is important to keep in mind the
transmission path of the 5716 wireless transmitter. A good
transmission pathshould beestablished beforepermanently
installing the BGE-5742.

2. TESTING: The installer should afways ensure proper
operation of the BGE-5742 after locating the unit. Testing
of the unit should be done
to ensure good audio
reception at the desired
mounting location. The
BGS-III Simulator, shown
in illustration C, should be
used to test the BGE-5742.
To test the BGE-5742, aim
the simulator at the glass
break detector while
holding it near the furthest
glass to be protected.
Activate the simulator by
pressing the button on the
top of the simulator. The
BGE-5742 should go into
alarm if the glass is within
its protection range. The
BGS-III is very directional
and must be aimed directly ILLUSTRATION“c”
at the BGE-5742.
When installation and testing procedures are completed,
activate any devices such as; air compressors, large fans,
blowers, etc. that may generate background noise while
the system is armed. For proper operation, devices that
generate background noise should not cause the unit to go
into alann. Ifthis condition results, relocate the unit to a new
position where the noise from these sources are minimized.

If the unit has been moved it must be retested with the BGS-
Ill Simulatorand again checked fortroublesome background
noise. Ifa position cannot be found tosatisfy these conditions,
and the sources of troublesome noise cannot be minimized
or eliminated, then the BGE-5742 is not suited for that
application.
3. SELECTING THE ID NUMBERS: The “House ID” and
‘Transmitter ID” are set via the two dip switches, #3 & #4.
The”House ID”isdetermined bydipswitch#3, positions (l-
S).The“TransmitterID”isdetermined byswitchpositions(l-
6) on switch #4. Illustration D shows a “House ID” of 31 and
a “Transmitter ID” of 1. Refer to the “House ID” and
“Transmitter ID” tables to the right for proper settings.
Position six(6) of dip switch #3 should always be set to “UP”,
as shown in Illustration D. Not shown are transmitter ID’s 32-
47 which should not be used for glass break detectors due to
a 3 minute transmit delay restriction.
