Protected Glass
The GB2 has been tested with the following types of glass. The minimum glass size is 18" x 18" (0.46 m x 0.46 m)
and the glass must be mounted.
Glass Type
Thickness (Minimum and Maximum)
Annealed
3/32" to 1/4" (2.4 mm to 6.4 mm)
Heat Strengthened
1/8" to 1/4" (3.2 mm to 6.4 mm)
Tempered
1/8" to 1/4" (3.2 mm to 6.4 mm)
Insulated*
1/8" to 3/16" (3.2 mm to 4.8 mm)
*Includes annealed, heat strengthened, and tempered dual-pane glass with 3/4" (19.1 mm) overall thickness; with
or without low emission solar controlled coatings. Both panes of glass must be broken for glass break detection.
User
Test
Hold down the
test button for two seconds to transmit a signal to the panel. The red LED will turn on as soon as the
button is pressed; the green LED will turn on briefly to indicate detector test mode.
Installer Test
To place the detector in test mode, press the bu
tton on the side for at least two seconds. The red LED will turn on
immediately; the green LED will turn on after two seconds indicating the device has entered test mode.
Upon entering test
mode, the GB2 will send a signal to the panel confirming the devi
ce is operational and within range.
A glass
-breaking simulator can be used to test the dual-stage thud/shatter technology. The thud portion will cause the
green
LED to illuminate briefly; the shatter portion will cause the red LED to illuminate briefly. A shatter can be detected
only after a thud is detected. The GB2 will remain in test mode for approximately 90 seconds.
The Vivint
Glass Break Detector (GB2) uses dual-stage glass break detection technology to notify
the
Vivint control panel when protected glass in the home is broken. (Note: The device will notify
the panel
when the system is Armed in either Stay or Away mode.)
The GB2 features three levels of adjustable sensitivity that allow
s the detector to reduce false
alarms without
compromising window protection. On the highest sensitivity setting, the GB2 can
detect glass breaking up to 20
feet (6.1 m) away.
The GB2
provides maximum detection coverage with a 360° horizontal sensing angle and is
s
pecifically designed for areas with multiple windows. The GB2 includes a tamper-proof switch
and
can be mounted on the ceiling or wall.

Programming Instructions
The GB2 offers three levels of sensitivity so that the
device can be adjusted to function optimally in the environment in which it is installed (see the Coverage Area
Diagram below).
• High (H): The high sensitivity setting (default) has a maximum range of up to 20 feet (6.1 m) and should be used when distance is the priority. When set to high,
the GB2 should not be installed in a noisy environment.
• Medium (M): The medium sensitivity setting has a range of up to 10 feet (3 m).
• Low (L): The low sensitivity setting has a range of up to 5 feet (1.5 m).
NOTE: Use a small flat-head screwdriver to adjust the GB2 sensitivity. Insert the screwdriver into the black dial on the back of the device and adjust the dial so that
the small arrow points to the desired setting.
Installation Instructions
(
For more details about adding wireless sensors to the system, go to the Support page at:
Vivint.com
, and the Knowledge In Motion site at: corp.vivint.com/sites/KIM/)
1. Remove the back plate and use screws to secure it into the desired location (wall
or ceiling). When installed on a wall, the GB2 should be installed 7.5 feet (2.3 m)
above the ground.
2. Insert the batteries into the back plate and mount the GB2 on to the back plate.
3. Be sure to test the device to ensure it is functioning properly and is within range.
INSTALLATION TIPS:
• The GB2 should not be installed where false alarms are likely to occur due to
ambient noise (e.g. kitchen or near speakers).
• Each home is different and these environmental differences can affect the range
of the device. A very reflective environment (e.g. hard surfaces like tile or wood)
will prolong the strength of the sound waves and increase the device's sensitivity.
Therefore, the device should be tested with a glass break simulator to ensure the
environment will not prevent the GB2 from working properly.
• The size and types of glass will also affect the sound waves.
• Install the GB2 as close as possible to the windows it is intended to protect.
• The effectiveness of the GB2 will be limited if obstacles are blocking the sound
waves coming from the window to the device (e.g. blinds or shades). The GB2 will
not detect glass breaking through walls.

FCC and Industry Canada Regulatory Declarations*
CAUTION
! Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential insta
llation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, ther
e is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the eq
uipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or m
ore of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.
PRUDENCE
! Changements ou modifications pourraient annuler le droit de l'utilisateur à utiliser l'équipement non autorisées.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent
émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie
Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut ch
oisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée
équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada ap
plicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Ces limites sont conçues pour fournir une protection raisonnable contre les interférences nuisibles dans une installation rés
identielle. Cet équipement génère, utilise et peut émettre une énergie de
radiofréquence et, s'il n'est pas installé et utilisé con
formément aux instructions, il peut causer des interférences nuisibles aux communications radio. Cependant, il n'existe aucune garantie que des
interférences
no se produiront pas dans une installation particulière. Si cet équipement provoque des interférences nuisibles à la réception radio ou télévision, ce qui peut être déterminé en mettant
l'équipement hors et sous tension, l'utilisateur est encouragé à essayer de corriger l'interférence par une ou plusieurs des
mesures suivantes:
• Réorienter ou déplacer l'antenne de réception.
• Augmentez la distance entre l'équipement et le récepteur.
• Connecter l'équipement à une sortie sur un circuit différent de celui sur lequel le récepteur est branché.
• Consulter le revendeur ou un technicien radio / télévision expérimenté pour de l'aide.
