Microprocessor-based sound analysis technology (SAT)
Automatic environmental test circuitry
Built-in door or window contact
The DS1109i Detector uses microprocessor-based
sound analysis technology (SAT) to listen for the
specific frequencies associated with breaking glass. It
can be used to detect breakage of plate, tempered,
laminated and wired glass types. A built-in
environmental test feature alerts the installer of false
alarm hazards in harsh environments. It is specially
designed to mount on door or window frames. A builtin magnetic contact allows monitoring of a door or
window opening.
Audio signals are analyzed using microprocessor-based
SAT and must produce specific frequency, signature,
and timing relationships to cause an alarm. The
sophistication of this processing technique insures
proper catch performance while eliminating false
alarms.
The push button operated test mode provides a
location verification and operational test when using
the optional DS1110i glassbreak tester. Test mode
also includes an environmental test that alerts the
installer to possible false alarm sources caused by
ambient noise. Automatic sound check feature allows
the end user to verify that the detector is powered and
functioning by clapping his hands. Externally visible
alarm LED indicates an alarm or test condition and can
be programmed to latch if desired.
Mount the DS1109i on the ceiling, or on the wall
opposite or, adjacent to the window. Coverage
depends on room acoustics and window size.
3 m (10 ft) for glass sizes over 30.5 cm x 30.5 cm
