FG-701 Glassbreak Simulator

 

 

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: The FG-701 Simulator produces extremely loud sounds and can be hazardous to hearing when used at close range.

Never operate the FG-701 when it is pointed toward someone’s head.

This glassbreak simulator is for testing the range and function of all FlexGuard® glassbreak detectors.

Most glassbreak models have the “Activate” test mode feature described below, including models:

FG10xx, FG15xx, FG16xx, FGW-15xx, 5853, FG8M, 5852H and others.

Note: Pressing the RED button again will deactivate the detector test mode. Test mode also turns off automatically after 5 to 10 minutes. (Refer to the detector’s installation instructions.)

OPERATING THE SIMULATOR

In the following, "flex" refers to the low frequency sound caused by gently thumping the window and "audio" refers to the high frequency sound from the glassbreak simulator.

If the detector range is adjustable, check that it is set correctly per the detector’s installation instructions.

FlexGuard® glassbreak detectors with test mode must be in test mode for accurate testing with the FG-701. For those detectors, use Activate to start test mode. Refer to the detector’s installation instructions for test mode details.

To Activate glassbreak detector test mode:

1.Install the glassbreak detector as per the detector’s installation instructions.

2.Stand within 6' (2m) of the detector.

3.Set the FG-701 to ACTIVATE and MAN (manual). See A.

4.Aim the FG-701 speaker at the detector.

5.Press the RED button for the ACTIVATE sound.

The green LED will flash once per second to indicate the detector is in test mode.

If test mode does not start, try again from a different position.

Important: If window coverings are present, close them fully and hold the FG-701 behind the window coverings for testing.

1.Set the FG-701 to TEST and FLEX. See B.

2.Position the FG-701 near the farthest point of the protected glass, and point the speaker directly at the glassbreak detector.

3.Press the RED button. The simulator will "click" and start an 8-second armed period.

4.Generate a flex signal by carefully thumping the glass with a cushioned tool. The FG-701 will respond by producing a burst of glass-break audio.

If both the flex and audio are received properly, the red alarm LED on the detector will light, and the detector will send an alarm.

After the simulator is triggered by a flex signal, there is a one- second hold-off period during which the FG-701 will not trigger again. This prevents repeated triggering due to continued vibration of the glass.

Successfully triggering the simulator with a flex signal generates a new 8-second armed period. If you do not generate a flex signal within 8 seconds, the simulator will automatically "click" off. Press the red button to re-arm the simulator.

The FG-701 may also be turned off by selecting MAN (manual) mode.

Testing detector range [MAN (manual) mode]:

If the glassbreak detector fails to signal an alarm when testing in the FLEX mode, switch the FG-701 to the MAN (manual) mode. Audio range can be tested independently in this mode. This will enable you to determine if the problem is flex or audio detection.
