FG-1508 Glassbreak Detector and Magnetic Contact Supplemental nformation
Protected glass:
Minimum size for all types is 11" (28 cm) square. Glass must be framed in
the wall of the room or mounted in a barrier of 36" (0.9 m) minimum width.
1 Protected only if both glass plates are bro en.
2 Coated glass with security films, including films for solar protection, up to 12
mil. thic may be used. Film Technologies, Inc.s GLASS GARD® GLL 1200 has
been evaluated with this product by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. at
IntelliSenses request.
3 Underwriters Laboratories of Canada has investigated the use of the coating
referred to on note 2 for plate and tempered glass.
MPORTANT: The FG-1508 must be connected to a UL listed power supply
or UL listed control unit capable of providing a minimum of four hours of
standby power.
LED ND CATORS
The two LEDs shining through the front cover indicate the detector's
operational status. The following table summarizes the LED opera-
tion when the LEDs are enabled.
REMOTE LED ENABLE/D SABLE MODE
The detectors Remote LED Enable/Disable Mode allows you to
enable or disable the detectors LEDs with the FG-701 Glassbrea
Simulator.
To enable or disable the LEDs with the FG-701:
1Position jumper W1 to OFF.
2Set the FG-701 switches to the ACTIVATE and MANual positions.
3Stand within 5 (1.5 m) of the detector, point the front of the
FG-701 at the detector, and press the red start button. The
simulator generates an audio activation signal, and the detectors
green LED flashes once per second.
4Repeat step 3, and the detectors green LED stops flashing.
5Within 2 seconds, repeat step 3 to send another activation code. If
you disable the LEDs, the detectors green LED flashes once. If
you enable the LEDs, the green LED flashes 2 to 3 times.
6Clap your hands to test the LEDs. If the LEDs are enabled, the
green LED flic ers. If the LEDs are disabled, the green LED
remains off.
MOUNT NG GU DEL NES
The FG-1508 detects framed glass bro en by an impact sufficient to
ma e a hole.
•Mount the FG-1508 (indoors only) on doors, window frames, walls,
ceilings, and in corners.
•Mount within 8 (2.4 m) of the glass.
•The detector must have a direct line-of-sight to the glass with no
obstructions.
•When wall mounting, mount the detector a minimum of 6 (1.8 m)
high.
•Do not mount within 3 (0.9 m) of forced air ducts, sirens, or bells
measuring 2 (5 cm) or more in diameter.
•If the magnetic contact is enabled, the glassbrea housing must
be mounted less than 1(2.5 cm) from the magnet housing.
Maximizing Detection
•Minimize range to the glass. Do not install beyond the maximum
specified range, even if testing indicates greater range.
•Mounting on freestanding posts and pillars is not recommended.
•The FG-1508 detects through window blinds and light drapes. For
heavy window coverings, mount the unit on the window frame
behind the covering. Test the location thoroughly whenever
window coverings are present.
•Verify all installations bac to the panel to be sure the protection
loop is intact.
Minimizing the Chance of False Alarms
•Avoid installing in rooms with high-level noise sources, such as air
compressors, bells, and power tools if those sources can be active
when the detector can signal an alarm.
•Magnetically susceptible materials affect the range of the contact
gap. If using the magnetic contact, be sure to test the gap thor-
oughly when the unit is mounted on iron or steel surfaces.
•Test false alarm immunity by activating any nown noise sources
in the room.
SELF-TESTS
The FG-1508 automatically performs a series of self-tests during
power-up. If any self-test fails, the detector signals trouble by
flashing the LEDs alternately once per second. Always return the
detector for repair if there is any indication of trouble, even if the
trouble is temporary.

FCC Notice: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures: 1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna, 2)
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver, 3) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. The installer can also consult an experienced
radio/television technician for additional suggestions, if necessary.
