glassbreak detector to listen for the specific sonic frequencies breaking glass The DG 50 is equipped with multi discriminating circuitry to maximize its response breaking glass and minimize its response to environmental noises As well the DG 50 is resistant to seismic shock and will not in response to a slamming door or even a tap the case R4 the Detector the energy of breaking glass is transmitted the air the location of the detector relative the window s to be protected and the furnishings the room are important considerations absorbing materials such as curtains rugs tile wall coverings and plush furniture the energy received by the detector To in establishing proper operation use the DG acoustic tester and adjust the sensitivity as the sensitivity and repeat the test If there are windows or one large window use the at the extreme location When the detector consistently it can be permanently using the supplied screws there are drapes or curtains that can be closed to the window s they should be closed for the tests Hold the DG 50ST tester between the and the window If the curtains or drapes reliable detection it is suggested that the be mounted behind the drapes either on wall or the ceiling the DG 50 the location has been determined open the by pressing the release tab on the bottom a small flat blade screwdriver Remove the and set in a safe location Draw the wires the rectangular opening in the backplate connect to the terminal block Observe polarity power wiring Mount the detector using the two screws Once the detector is permanently repeat the installation tests using the DG tester to confirm proper operation Contacts are shown with the DG 50 energized in non alarm state Contacts shown are for the model DG 50C The model DG 50A includes NC alarm contact only Adjustment the sensitivity is too high turn the adjustment and if reliable detection is not increase the sensitivity by turning the clockwise Sensitivity should not be any higher than necessary to achieve detection the double sided tape provided with the to temporarily mount the detector in the location and with the DG 50ST tester that the detector responds consistently the DG 50ST tester against the window to be and operate 3 times If the detector does respond each time relocate the detector or USED WITH TEMPERED GLASS ensure glass break detection on tempered plate the DG 50 must be mounted directly in front of surface to be protected at a maximum distance 12 feet and a minimum distance of 5 feet For applications location of the unit must provide direct line of sight between the DG 50 and the glass at an angle not to exceed 45 degrees rule of thumb for most applications is to locate the approximately the same distance from the to be protected as the distance between the of the glass and the ceiling of the room Warranty Digital Security Controls Ltd warrants for a period of twenty four months from the date of by the original buyer the product shall be free
