This User Guide
3 Finding a Suitable Location
The SMCGB10-Z must always be in direct line of
sight of all windows to be protected. The
SMCGB10-Z cannot consistently detect glass
breaking around corners or in other rooms. There
is no required front, back, up or down
orientation.
Wall Mount
The best wall-mount location is on the opposite
wall, assuming the glass to be protected is within
the sensor's range and line of sight. The
adjoining wall can also be used.
Ceiling Mount
Mount the SMCGB10-Z in a location that has a
direct line of sight of the glass to be protected.
Since sound travels directionally out from a
broken window, a position 8 ft. (2.4 m) into the
room provides better detection.
To determine the best mounting location, mount
the SMCGB10-Z:
At least 3.3 ft. (1 m) from the windows being
protected and at least 4 ft. (1.2 m) from
noise sources such as TVs, speakers, sinks,
and doors.
In the direct line of sight of the glass to be
protected.
In a suitable environment: temperature
between 0 and 120°F (-18 and 50°C); and
humidity between 10 and 90% non-
condensing.
On a stable surface up to 25 ft. (7.6 m) from
the farthest point on the glass surface.
Recommended Locations and Range
The SMCGB10-Z is omni-directional, providing
360° coverage. Coverage is measured from the
SMCGB10-Z to the point on the glass farthest
from the sensor. The sensor can be mounted as
close as 3.3 ft. (1 m) from the glass. The
maximum range depends on the type of glass
being protected:
Armor-coated glass: Mount the SMCGB10-Z no
more than 12 ft. (3.6 m) from the glass.
Plate, tempered, laminated, and wired glass:
Mount the SMCGB10-Z on the ceiling or the
opposite or adjoining wall. Maximum range is
25 ft. (7.6 m).

Locations to Avoid
Improper location can affect the sensitive
electronic components in this product. To avoid
causing damage to the product, to provide
optimum performance, and to prevent
unnecessary nuisance alarms:
Avoid rooms smaller than 10 x 10 ft. (3m x
3m).
Avoid locations where lined, insulating, or
sound-deadening drapes or closed wooden
shutters are used.
Avoid the corner of a room.
Do not install the SMCGB10-Z in humid
rooms. Excess moisture on the circuit board
can cause a short and a false alarm.
Avoid locations that expose the SMCGB10-Z
to possible false alarm sources such as:
- Glass airlocks and vestibule areas
- Kitchens
- Corner mounting
- Residential car garages
- Small utility rooms
- Stairwells
- Bathrooms
- Small acoustically live rooms.
- Locations exposed to white noise, such as
air compressors.
4 Mounting the Sensor
You can mount the SMCGB10-Z on a wall or
ceiling.

service-release devices, and extinguishing
systems. Test communications between the
Touchscreen and the product before
permanently mounting as follows:
- Hold the SMCGB10-Z where you plan to
install it.
- Hold the glass break tester next to the glass
break’s microphone sensor and press the test
button on the glass break tester. The product
sends a signal to the Touchscreen.
- At the Touchscreen, verify the signal was
received and RF signal strength is adequate.
If no signal is received or the RF signal is low,
relocate the product and retest.
B. Using two supplied screws and anchors,
mount the base of the product as follows:
- Remove the screw located in the front.
- Remove the top cover using a flat bladed
tool in the screw location to pry open the

C. Replace the SMCGB10-Z top cover:
- Snap the top onto the base.
- Replace the screw into the front location.
5 Basic Operation
The SMCGB10-Z is equipped with an intuitive
normal mode operation. Since the batteries are
pre-installed, remove the battery pull tab to
turn ON power. The SMCGB10-Z searches for a
networked Touchscreen with which to pair.
During this Search Mode time, the RF wireless
module transmits every ~ 5-seconds.
Not pairing or enrolling into a Touchscreen
within minutes of initial power up places a large
drain the batteries.
Failure to complete pairing results in dead
batteries after 2-3 days pass.

8 Testing the SMCGB10-Z
The SMCGB10-Z can be tested during install or at
any time. It is recommended the SMCGB10-Z be
tested in place annually. The SMCGB10-Z is
sealed. The cover is not removable.
WARNING: The Touchscreen must be placed into
sensor test mode while conducting any tests to
protect against false alarms and unintentional
central station reporting.
The SMCGB10-Z has three test methods:
Wake Up Test. A hand clap should wake up
the glass break detector.
RF Communication Test. Tests the
communication path with the Touchscreen.
Glass Break Functional Test. Tests the
functional operation of the glass break
sensing element.
Wake Up Test
To test the SMCGB10-Z locally, clap your hands
loudly above the sensor and verify the LED blinks
twice. This test verifies that the SMCGB10-Z is
receiving power, and the microphone and circuit
board are working properly. It does not trip the
sensor. The hand clap is only a momentary test,
so there is no significant effect on battery life.
Note: Room acoustics can artificially extend the
range of a glass-break sensor. The specified range
of the sensor is set for worst-case conditions. While
it may work at extended range, it can miss a
minimum output break or room acoustics may
change over time, bringing sensor range back into
normal 2-foot (6 m) conditions. Do not exceed the
rated range of the sensor, regardless of the tester
results.
RF Communication Test
This section provides general guidelines for
testing the SMCGB10-Z with the Touchscreen. For
complete testing details, refer to the specific
Touchscreen documentation.
A. Be sure the product is operating normally.
B. Set the Touchscreen to sensor test mode to
prevent an alarm signal from being sent to
the central-monitoring station if you have a
monitored system.
C. To generate a test alarm, remove the top
cover generating a tamper alarm. If the
product is operating properly, an alarm
message is sent to the Touchscreen.
D. The Touchscreen beeps and shows the
number of RF packets received.
E. At the Touchscreen, exit sensor test mode.

9 Glass Break Functional Test
The SMCGB10-Z detects the breaking of framed
glass mounted in an outside wall. Testing the
sensor with unframed lass, broken bottles, and
so on, may not trip the sensor. The sensor
typically does not trip to glass breaking in the
middle of the room. In rooms where multiple
sounds can reflect and duplicate the glass-break
frequency pattern.
The Pattern Recognition Technology of the
sensor ignores most false alarm sounds, including
glass break testers. To test the sensor, use test
mode.
Test mode disables glass break pattern
processing in upper and lower frequencies. The
sensor is then listening only for the mid-range
frequencies that the hand-held tester
reproduces. It’s the mid-range frequencies that
determine sensor range.
Test Mode
To put the sensor in test mode:
A. Set the Touchscreen to sensor test mode.
B. Use a Sentrol 5709C handheld tester to put
the sensor into test mode. Set the tester to
tempered glass and hold the tester on top of
the sensor.
C. Activate the tester. The sensor will alarm,
then go into test mode for one minute. In
test mode, the LED blinks continuously. To
extend test time, fire the tester at the
sensor at least once a minute.
Testing the Sensor
To test the sensor while in test mode:
A. The tester has a different setting for each
type of glass. Set the tester for tempered or
laminated glass unless you are certain that
all the glass to be protected is plate glass.
B. Hold the tester near the surface of the glass
to be protected and aim the speaker at the
sensor. Be sure the tester is at the point on
the glass farthest from the detector. If
closed drapes or curtains are present, hold
the tester behind them.
C. Press the test button on the tester. The LED
on the sensor goes ON for 4 seconds to
indicate the glass is within detection range
of the sensor. If the LED does not stay ON for
4 seconds, move the sensor and retest.
If the sensor will not activate within its stated
range of coverage, check for battery strength in
the tester. A new tester battery will likely
restore range. You may need to use additional
sensors to achieve adequate coverage.
The sensor automatically changes from test
mode to normal mode approximately one minute
after it last hears the tester. In normal mode the
LED does not blink unless it hears a loud sound.
In normal mode, the sensor does not trip to the
tester, unless the tester is held next to the
sensor. Each time the sensor alarms, it also goes
into test mode for one minute.
Room acoustics can artificially extend the range
of a glass break sensor. The specified range of
the sensor has been established for worst-case
conditions. While the sensor will likely function
at additional range, it may miss a minimum
output break, or room acoustics may change at
some future time, bringing the sensor range back
into normal 20 ft. (6 m) conditions. Do not
exceed the rated range of the sensor, regardless
of what the tester shows.
