STAR
COMPACT
GLASS BREAK & SHOCK
DETECTOR
The STAR is the ultimate answer for all those
tired of false alarms. It listens for sounds of
breaking glass, which produce two sequential
signals of different frequencies. The unique
phased frequency detection circuitry of this
detector allows detection of both shock signal
and the strong signal of glass breakage creating
a “false alarm free” glass break detector.
The detector does not need to be attached to
the window, providing volume protection, and
allowing you to protect several windows with one
detector.
FEATURES
•Shock and/or breakage selectable
•Analyzes two frequencies
•Unique signal analysis ignores
environmental disturbances
•Memory LED
•ASIC based electronics
•Sensitivity adjustment
•New ultra compact design
•Flush mount installation (option)
•Outstanding detection range and reliability
FIG. 1
The detector offers flexible installation. It can be
either ceiling mounted or wall mounted as
shown in the figure above.
SELECT LOCATION MOUNTING THE DETECTOR THE BACK COVER
See FIG. 1
•If heavy blinds or curtains cover the glass,
you must locate the detector behind the
blinds on the window frame or above it,
otherwise the blinds might block the sound.
Make sure to test the unit thoroughly for
proper detection.
•Install the detector in a direct line of sight
with the protected glass.
•Do not mount the unit in front of air ducts, or
close to bells (measuring 0.5m (or larger) in
diameter).
•For a few protected glasses in one room,
locate the detector in optimal distance from
them to achieve the best detection.
Note: for symmetrical cover of the detection area
it is recommended to place the detector on
the ceiling.
See FIG. 2
1. Use a small screwdriver to push the prong on
top of the case and open the case.
2.
Snap out the detector PCB.
3. Insert the wires through the wiring hole (B).
4. Use the mounting holes (A) to mount the
detector.
5. Connect the wires to the terminal.(See
Terminal Connections)
6. Reinstall the detector PCB.
7. Close the case.
JUMPERS ( FIG. 4 )
•JP1 - Shock / Glass selector for detection
calibration.
•JP2 - Memory LED control.
•JP3 - Reduces the sensitivity of sound
detection by 50%.

FIG. 3
Terminal 1 - Marked - (GND)
Connect to ground of the control panel.
Terminal 2 - Marked + ( +12V )
Connect to the positive Voltage output of 9-16
Vdc
source (usually from the alarm control unit).
Terminals 3 & 4 - Marked TAMPER
If a Tamper function is required connect these terminals
to a 24hour normally closed protective zone in the
control unit. If the front cover of the detector is opened,
an immediate alarm signal will be sent to the control
unit.
Terminals 5 & 6 - Marked RELAY
These are the output relay contacts of the detector.
Connect to the control at zone input.
The Simulator/Tester & Calibration tool is
especially designed to check phased frequency
glass break detectors.
Since the detector will react to the high
frequency breakage sound only when it comes
sequentially after a low frequency SHOCK
sound, this device is necessary to check for
proper operation of the STAR without actually
breaking the glass.
Manual mode:
In this mode, the Simulator will emit the high
frequency sound of breaking glass for "Glass"
adjustment.
Automatic mode:
In order to simulate breaking glass, place the
Simulator on the surface of the protected glass,
and gently hit it with your hand. The Simulator
will then emit the sound of breaking glass. Be
careful not to break the glass while testing the
detector.
First use the Simulator in manual mode to
simulate the noise of glass breaking. Check that
the yellow LED is ON. If it does not light, the
sensitivity calibration is necessary (See Sound
Calibration).
Now use your hand or a padded object to
carefully strike the glass. If the green LED does
not light, adjust as necessary (See Shock
Calibration).
Now use the Simulator in automatic mode and
check that the red LED lights. If the red LED is
ON, your detector is working properly. Otherwise
try adjusting the sound and shock setting until
the red LED lights.

GLASS BREAK ADJUSTMENT SHOCK ADJUSTMENT THE MEMORY FUNCTION
To adjust the glass break setting
(increase/decrease sensitivity) place the jumper
JP1 according the GLASS marking (connecting
the middle pin with the upper pin) - (See Fig. 4)
Green LED is constantly ON.
Now you can adjust the sensitivity by rotating
the upper potentiometer (marked as GLASS
CAL. - see Fig. 4).
Operate the Sound Break Simulator and rotate
the potentiometer clock-wise to increase
sensitivity, and counter-clock-wise to decrease
sensitivity until the Yellow and Red LED’s are
illuminating for each glass break sound.
Remember that rotating the potentiometer will
have no effect upon the settings if the middle pin
of JP1 is not connected to the upper pin.
Note
When the jumper is set for GLASS adjustment,
only the high frequency sound of breaking glass
is detected.
To adjust the shock setting (increase/decrease
sensitivity) place the jumper JP1 according the
SHOCK marking (connecting the middle pin with
the lower pin) - (See Fig. 4) Yellow LED is
constantly ON.
Now you can adjust the sensitivity by rotating
the lower potentiometer (marked as SHOCK
CAL. - see Fig. 4).
Hit gently on the protected glass and rotate the
potentiometer clock-wise to increase sensitivity,
and counter-clock-wise to decrease sensitivity
until the Green and Red LED’s are illuminating
for each hit.
Remember that rotating the potentiometer will
have no effect upon the settings if the middle pin
of JP1 is not connected to the lower pin.
Note
When the jumper is set for SHOCK adjustment,
only the low frequency of the shock signal prior
to glass breakage is detected.
The alarm memory function allows the
identification of an alerting detector out of
multiple detectors connected to one (or the
same) zone of the control panel.
To enable this function, Set ON jumper JP2
(MEM) (connected on both pins - See Fig. 4)
In case of an alarm, the Red LED will stay ON
until memory function is reset.
To reset the memory function, switch OFF
(disconnect) the voltage wire (+12V) from the
TERMINAL BLOCK for minimum 15 seconds
then switch on (reconnect) voltage wire (+12V).
(The control panel key ON/OFF can be used for
this application if it control the voltage (+12V).
SENSITIVITY SETTING
For some installations you may find that VIG is
too sensitive. Use JUMPER JP3 to decrease
sensitivity to 50%.
JP3 OPEN - 100% sensitivity
JP3 CONNECTED - 50% sensitivity
FINAL TESTING PCB LAYOUT WIRE SIZE REQUIREMENTS
•Make sure to disconnect the jumper at JP1.
When the jumper is disconnected, the
detector will detect both shock and sound
frequencies.
To ensure maximum protection against false
alarms, activate any device in the area, which
might automatically cycle pumps, generators,
heating/air conditioning units, etc. If the cycling
devices trigger an alarm, mount the unit in a
different location.
