Paradox DG457 User manual

Overview
GlassTrek delivers effective coverage of plate, tempered, and laminated glass
without the need for special sensitivity adjustments. GlassTrek can be used in
most protected areas, including rooms with blinds, curtains, or multiple
windows, as long as careful coverage tests are conducted using TestTrek.
Breakage in panes of glass 40.6cm x 61cm (16in x 24in) or larger will be
detected, for every standard thickness of plate (0.3cm x 0.6cm or 1/8in-1/4in).
The GlassTrek detector should not be connected to 24 hour protection
zones. Installation is not recommended in protected areas that contain
any of the following: windows with closed wooden interior shutters,
windows with insulated, lined, or sound-muffling drapes, and rooms
with ceilings higher than 4.5m (15ft). If ceiling-mounted, it should not
be mounted in rooms smaller than 3m x 3m (10ft x 10ft) where loud
noise is common or rooms where machinery noise is present.
Installation Location
Look for installation locations on the ceiling or walls adjacent or opposite to
the protected glass and ensure that the installation will respect the detection
angle as shown in figure 1. Make sure that the microphone side of the
detector has a direct and unobstructed view of the protected glass and that
the detector is positioned so that the protected glass lies within the optimal
detection angle. Avoid proximity to noisy objects such as bells, fans,
compressors and loud machinery.
Installing GlassTrek (see figure 3)
1. Remove the cover by pressing the opening pin (A) on the side of the
detector.
2. Remove the PCB and run the wires through one of the openings on the
side (C) or back (D) of the case.
3. Mount the detector in its location by drilling screws into the screw holes
(B).
4. Connect the PCB terminals (see figure 2).
5. Replace the PCB and close the cover.
6. Test the GlassTrek (see “Test Mode” under “Utilities”).
Powering Up
After the initial power up sequence, the GlassTrek unit remains in test mode
for approximately 1 minute.
Display Mode
Red LED:
1. Intermittent flashing takes place upon recognition of high level attack
signals. (Can be tested by clapping or knocking close to the detector.)
2. 5-second illumination if a glass break is detected when alarm memory
latch is "off" (J1 ON).
3. Continuous illumination upon detection of a glass break when alarm
memory latch is "on" (J1 OFF).
4. 3-minute continuous flashing indicates unit is in "test" mode.
Green LED:
Will flash intermittently when spectrum analysis is in progress, indicating
attack analysis has been successfully confirmed and part of the frequency
spectrum is valid.

Sensitivity
Setting
Regular sensitivity
If the environment has damping materials such as drapes,
carpets, furniture. Install at 1.2m to 9m (4ft to 30ft) from the
protected glass.
Low sensitivity
If the environment produces echoes, as when the walls and
ceilings are concrete or metal. Install at 1.2m to 4.5m (4ft to
15ft) from the protected glass.
Section [001]†:[1] OFF = Regular Sensitivity (default)
[1] ON = Low Sensitivity
Jumper J2 OFF = Regular Sensitivity (default)
J2 ON = Low Sensitivity

Alarm
Memory
When an alarm occurs, the alarm relay remains latched for 5
seconds. The alarm memory feature can also latch the red LED
upon detection.
Alarm memory disabled:
The red LED illuminates for 5 seconds.
Alarm memory enabled:
The red LED remains on (latched) until you set jumper J1 on
and remove it again, or you disable Alarm Memory in section
[001], or you disconnect and restore power to the detector.
Section [001]†:[3] OFF = Alarm memory disabled (default)
[3] ON = Alarm memory enabled
Jumper J1 OFF = Alarm memory enabled
J1 ON = Alarm memory disabled (default)

Recognition

Section [001]†:[5] OFF = Tamper recognition disabled (default)
[5] ON =Tamper recognition enabled

Test Mode
To test the GlassTrek detector you must enter test mode and
use a TestTrek unit (459).
1. With the TestTrek unit (V2.0 or higher) within 2.5m (8ft) of the
GlassTrek, hold the test button down. A series of beeps is
produced which signals the GlassTrek to enter test mode.
You can also enter 123 in section [002], or remove and
replace Jumper J1.
2. The red and green LEDs illuminate for 5 seconds, followed
by an intermittent flashing of the red LED to indicate it is in
test mode. GlassTrek will exit test mode after approximately
3 minutes.
3. Place the TestTrek unit near the protected window and then
press the red “push” button on the TestTrek unit. A beep is
produced.
Red + Green LED = Test OK
The GlassTrek has detected the signal and generated an
alarm.
Green LED only = Test Failed
Perform another test by carefully striking the protected
surface with a cushioned tool. If both LEDs still do not
illuminate, increase the sensitivity of the GlassTrek detector,
or re-position the GlassTrek detector, or the room may be too
large to support the GlassTrek detector.
Voltage
Meter†
Used for trouble-shooting, the voltage meter indicates the
GlassTrek’s input voltage.
Enter section [900]. The 3-digit number that appears on the
screen represents input voltage x 10 (e.g. [133] = 13.3V).
