Figure B- 13: Testing the EL-2606
Test the sensor using the Electronics Line GBS7 or Sentrol 5709C hand-held tester.
1. If using the 5709C tester, set the tester to tempered glass. The 5709C tester has a different setting
for each type of glass. The tester should always be set for tempered or laminated glass (either is
correct and both have the same range) unless the installer is certain that all the glass to be
protected is plate glass.
2. Hold the tester speaker directly on top of the sensor and activate the tester; the sensor generates an
alarm and then enters test mode for one minute. When in test mode, the LED on the sensor flashes
continuously. You can extend the test mode time by firing the tester at the sensor at least once a
minute.
Note: Each time the sensor generates an alarm, it also goes into Test mode for one minute.
3. Hold the tester near the surface of the glass and aim the tester at the EL-2606. If drapes or blinds are
present, test with the hand-held tester behind the closed drapes or blinds.
4. Hold down the test button. When the LED on the sensor goes solid momentarily, the glass is within
detection range.
5. If the LED does not go solid, but simply continues flashing, re-position the sensor closer to the protected
windows and retest. This may require adding additional sensors in order to achieve adequate coverage. It
is very rare that the sensor will not activate within its stated range of coverage. In this case check the battery
in the hand-held tester. A new tester battery is likely to restore the range.
6. Test mode automatically terminates approximately one minute after the last activation of the hand-
held tester.
Caution: Room acoustics can artificially extend the range of a glassbreak sensor. The specified range of the
EL-2606 has been established for worst-case conditions. While the sensor is likely to function at the
extended range, it may miss a minimum output break or room acoustics may be changed at some
future time bringing sensor range back into normal 6m (20') conditions. Do not exceed the rated
range of the sensor regardless of what the tester shows!
Hand Clap Test
The Hand Clap test enables you to test the EL-2606 while in Normal mode. This test checks the sensors power supply,
microphone and circuit board.
To perform a Hand Clap test:
Clap your hands loudly under the sensor; the LED flashes twice but an alarm is not generated.
