FG8MS Wireless Glassbreak Detector -
2a
Installation Instructions
1 SELECT MOUNTING LOCATION
Refer to A (on page 1) and the following list for mounting guidelines.
• Mount the detector between the protected glass and any heavy window
coverings that may be present. When heavy window coverings are
present, the detector can be mounted on the frame of the window
• Do NOT mount the detector:
–on posts or pillars
–in rooms with noisy equipment (air compressors, power tools, etc.),
if this equipment is operated when the detector is armed
–where the detector's view of the glass may be obstructed
unintentionally

4 SET THE RANGE (See B on Page 1)
For best false alarm immunity, measure distance from the intended
mounting location of the detector to the farthest point of glass to be
WEB
protected. The maximum distance should be 7.6 m. Set the shortest range
available with DIP switches SENS 1 and SENS 2 that is greater than or
equal to measured distance.
5 MOUNT THE DETECTOR
Orient the microphone for the best line-of-site to the protected glass.
If ceiling mounted the end with the microphone should face the protected
1
glass.
Important: Not suitable for use on acoustic ceiling tiles if the rear tamper
will be used. Use drywall anchors if not mounting to a wall stud or ceiling
joist. If the rear tamper is used, tamper screw should screw into frame, or
a heavy-duty anchor, because the rear tamper requires high breakaway
2
force.
Reinstall the battery (if removed for rear tamper installation), then close
and secure the detector front cover.
6 TEST MODES
TRANSMITTER Test Mode: This test mode shows transmitter activity.
It activates upon power-up and when the cover is opened. It remains
active for 10 minutes after the tamper switch is closed.
GLASSBREAK Test Mode: This test mode allows testing of the
glassbreak function. It is activated three ways – upon power-up,
by pressing the glassbreak test switch (see B on page 1).
For both test modes, refer to the following LED Indicators table.

When registered, the FG8MS sends a low battery signal to the panel

when the battery voltage gets low. Replace the battery. The detector
low battery indication is approximate only.
7 TESTING GLASSBREAK WITHOUT AN FG-701 TESTER
3a
Enter GLASSBREAK test mode. The Green LED will flash at 1Hz. Clap
hands near the detector and the Green LED will flicker, verifying the
detector is hearing room noise. To test that that the panel is detecting an
alarm, tap on the detector cover with a finger nail or screwdriver until the
Red LED turns on for 5 seconds.

films for solar protection) may be used. Evaluated with the these products:
3M® SCOTCHSHIELD® SH14CLARL – 0.35mm (14 mils), 4 ply film; Film
Technologies International, Inc.'s GLASS-GARD GGLL 1200.
For these glass types, mounting at less than ½ the indicated range

setting is recommended. (Example: set SENS 1 and SENS 2 for 4.6 m
range, but mount the detector 2.3 m or less from the farthest glass to be
30cm
protected.)
