What are break detectors / glass-break?

Contusion detectors (glass-break) are specialized detectors designed to detect glass sound during impact and cracking. They are acoustically analyzing the impact signal by reacting to the shock wave and the sound of broken glass. This is an effective method of protecting glazed surfaces such as windows, shop sites or glass doors.

Why is it worth using a window break detector in the alarm system?

• Burglar detection: The detector can trigger the alarm when the glass is broken, which gives an additional layer of protection for glazed security.
• Minimise false alarms: Modern detectors analyze signals in a two-track way — first a low frequency (hit), then a high frequency (glass shattering), which reduces false alarms. {index=0}
• Different technologies and forms: Cable models are available for control panels, wireless for ABAX systems, and 2w1 detectors (e.g. PIR + glass-break). {index=1}
• Flexible assembly: Sensors can be mounted on a wall or ceiling, and their detection range reaches several meters. {index=2}

What should I pay attention to when choosing a contusion detector?

• Communication type: Do you need a wire version (direct to the control panel) or a wireless version (radio)? Example: Satel AGD-200 communicates via ABAX / Be Wave. {index=3}
• Detection sensitivity: The ability to adjust sensitivity for two tracks (hit and smash) allows you to better adjust the operation to the conditions in the room. {index=4}
• Sabotage: Make sure the detector is protected against opening the enclosure (tamper), preventing manipulation. {index=5}
• Power supply: Wire detectors usually require 12 V DC, wireless running on batteries (e.g. CR123). :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
• Glass type: Check if the detector is designed for float, laminated, toughened glass – some models have settings for different types of windows. {index=7}
• Testing: Ideally, the detector has a test mode to simulate the sound of broken glass and adjust sensitivity. {index=8}

Benefits of the use of contusion detectors in MikaShop

• Better protection of glass: Windows and sites are the weakest security point — a glass-break detector is an effective protection against breaking through the window.
• Minimise false alarms: Sensors with two-track acoustic analysis detect only real events, reducing interference. :contentReference[oaicite:21]{index=21}
• Installation flexibility: Models can be wired or wireless, so they can easily fit into the existing system.
• Configuration: Sensitivity control, test mode, sabotage — all available in modern detectors.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Does the glass-break detector respond to any damage to the window?

Yes, if it is set well — the detector first analyses the low frequency (hit), then the high frequency (hit) and only then reports the alarm. {index=22}

Where is the best place to mount a glass break detector?

Preferably on the ceiling or wall at the window height, within range of acoustic waves formed at the breaking. The detector must have good acoustic contact with the protected glass. :contentReference[oaicite:23]{index=23}

Does a wireless glass break sensor require battery power?

Yes — most wireless glass-break detectors work on batteries (e.g. CR123), which eliminates the need for cables. :contentReference[oaicite:24]{index=24}

Can I test the glass break detector?

Yes — many models have a test mode that allows you to simulate the sound of broken glass and tune sensitivity. :contentReference[oaicite:25]{index=25}
