Sentrol shock
sensors use a piezo
transducer
specifically tuned to
the shock frequency
of glass breaking.
GLASSBREAK SHOCK SENSORS
Millions of Sentrol shock sensors installed around the world give testimony to our
product reliability. We’ve added some new products to give you more choices at
installation time and more ways to increase your sales.
Reliable, flexible shock sensors.
Breaking glass produces specific shock frequencies which travel through glass and
window frames. When shock sensors “feel” the wave generated by breaking glass,
they signal an alarm. These sensors mount directly on the glass or the frame and
give you a product virtually immune to false alarms. That means they can operate
on windows with heavy drapes or shutters. Shock sensors also provide a visual
deterrent to intruders helping to prevent break-in attempts.
Most of Sentrol’s shock sensors are solid-state, with no mechanical parts to wear
out or fail. We incorporate a piezo transducer specifically tuned to the shock
frequency of glass breaking, providing both excellent detection and false alarm
immunity.
Choose the right sensor.
