Glass Breaking Sensor FGM 100
Product description:
The glass breaking sensor detects the sound of breaking window glass and notifies
the alarm panel. In order to avoid false alarms, two inputs are required to trigger an
alarm: First, the sensor registers the breaking of glass and, then, the pieces of glass
falling to the ground.
Sensor data:
Dimension (without mount): 10.8 x 8 x 4.3 cm (4.23 x 3.14 x 1.69 in)
Weight: 140 g (0.3 lbs)
Place of installation: Only indoors (opposite of the secured window)
Operating temperatures: -10 °C to +55 °C (14 °F to 131 °F)
Humidity: Maximum 85% (non-condensing)
Radio frequency: 868.63 MHz
1. LED green (internally)
2. LED red (internally)
3. Microphone
4. Dip switch
5. Battery compartment
6. Learn button
7. Tamper contact
8. Mounting holes
LED green:
•In case of a detection of broken glass in the test mode, the LED will be
activated
LED red:
•The red LED lights up if
othe tamper contact is opened or closed
othe Learn button is pressed
oa broken glass is detected in the test mode
Battery:
The glass breaking sensor requires a 3 V CR123A lithium battery. The average battery
life is approx. three years. The alarm panel will inform you when the battery is running
low.

Connecting the glass breaking sensor and putting it into operation
1. Open the housing by loosening the screw at the bottom.
2. Insert the supplied battery.
3. Open the configuration menu of the alarm panel and then the menu
“Sensors” “Add” and press “Start”.
4. Press the Learn button of the glass breaking sensor once.
5. The sensor is listed in the lower menu after a short time and you hear a brief
signal tone from the alarm panel.
6. Press “Add” to complete the connection process.
7. Close the housing and fasten the screw.
Range test:
To test the signal strength at the desired installation location, perform a range test.
1. Open the alarm panel menu “Sensors” “Range” and press “Start”.
2. Press the Learn button of the glass breaking sensor.
3. The sensor and the signal strength should be indicated. The higher the
indicated number the better the reception (1 – 9).
4. Click “Stop” to end the test.
Please note:
If there is no signal at the installation location or the signal strength is below 4 or
frequently falls below this level (signal fluctuations of 2 to 3 are normal), we
recommend using a repeater to improve the signal.
Dip switch:
The sensitivity of the glass breaking sensor can be adjusted by the two Dip switches:
Sensitivity Dip switch 1 Dip switch 2 Reach
Maximum
OFF
OFF
8 m
Medium OFF ON 5 m
Low
ON
OFF
3 m
Minimum ON ON 1.5 m
Test mode:
Press the Learn button to activate the test mode of the FGM 100 for five minutes. If
glass breakage is detected during this time, the red and the green LED will light up.
This allows you to test the function of the glass breaking sensor without triggering an
alarm at the control panel.

Notes:
•The glass breaking sensor can be installed both on a wall or on the ceiling
using the supplied screws.
•The sensor will only trigger an alarm if it first registers a blow to the glass
pane and then the breakage of glass.
•The glass breaking detector detects sounds in a 360° radius.
•Make sure that no obstacles are between the window and the glass
breaking sensor.
•Install the glass breaking sensor in an open space (not in corners), so that
that sound waves can reach the sensor from as many sides as possible.
•Do not install the glass breaking sensor directly next to electronic devices
e.g. speakers, air conditioners or devices causing noise.
