PROTECTING STOREFRONT GLASS<br />
Merchants often want glass break protection on their front windows, in order to<br />
have the alarm sound as soon as the glass breaks. While this does not prevent<br />
“smash and grab” losses, it will prevent most burglars from actually entering<br />
the building.<br />
For storefront windows shock sensors are always the best choice. A shock sensor is<br />
visible from the outside, which might deter burglars before the glass is broken.<br />
And shock sensors are less likely to be set off by street noise, or by rolling metal<br />
shutters, than are acoustic sensors. Due to range limitations, however, shock<br />
sensors can be more expensive to install. Multiple sensors may be required to<br />
cover the same glass area that one acoustic sensor can protect.<br />
Acoustic sensors can be successfully used to protect storefront glass if store<br />
personnel are properly trained to not block the glass. Acoustic sensors must be able<br />
to “see” all the glass that they are protecting. If a sensor’s line of sight to the glass<br />
is blocked by store displays or furniture, the sensor is unlikely to detect a break-in<br />
through the blocked glass.<br />
If selecting an acoustic sensor, in stores which do not have window displays, mount<br />
a ShatterPro in the ceiling inside the room. For stores with window displays,<br />
mount a ShatterSwitch directly above the glass.<br />
Use the 5115/20 for on-the-glass shock sensor protection, or use the 5425 for<br />
frame mounting.<br />
For acoustic sensor protection, use a ShatterPro II 5810A, a Recessed ShatterPro<br />
5820A, or a ShatterSwitch 5725T.<br />
