STEP 1RANGE OF COVERAGE

VITRON Plus range of coverage depends on the type of glass (see Table 1) and the angle between VITRON Plus and glass (see Table 2 Fig 1).

Percentage of Maximum Range as function of angle between Vitron and glass.
Verify that the distance between the VITRON Plus and the furthest point on the protected glass does not exceed the maximum specified range taking into account the reduced range due to angle (see Fig 2)

Angle between VITRON and glass

Important: Other factors effecting range:

  • There should be no obstructions between the VITRON Plus and the protected glass.
  • Curtains and blinds may reduce the effective range.
  • Sound absorbing materials in the protected area may reduce the range.

STEP 2 RANGE OF LOCATION

VITRON Plus can be mounted in a single gang box using flush mount adapter or on wall or ceiling. For optimal results the VITRON should be mounted as nearly opposite the glass area to be protected, as shown in Fig 3.

Fig 3

VITRON Mounting Options Opposite Wall Mount (For optimal results VITRON is centered opposite glass) Ceiling Mount (for optimal results VITRON is centered and directed towards protected glass using RA-66 Bracket). Corner Mount (choose corner opposite glass to be protected). Side Wall – Mount (not recommended as VITRON is not opposite glass – see range versus angle diagram. Test carefully at both ends of glass using RG-65 Tester)

Note:
a)When Ceiling Mounted use the RA66 bracket for best preformance.
b)Do not mount VITRON Plus on same wall as protected glass.
c)Avoid installing the VITRON Plus near sources of loud noises or vibrations (air conditioners, fans, compressors, stereos, etc.)

STEP 3 MOUNTING

FLUSH MOUNTING

RISCO RG71FM0GG3 Vitronplus Acoustic Glass-Break Detector for Flush or
Surface Wall - FLUSH MOUNTING

  1. Screw mounting bracket into single gang box
  2. Insert cable through knockout in VITRON Plus base & insert wires into terminal block, snap PCB into base.
  3. Snap on front cover & secure with screw provided. Snap complete VITRON Plus unit into mounting bracket.
  4. Snap on front cover of mounting bracket

Note: To remove trimplate, squeeze the top and bottom simultaniously and pull away.

STEP 4 TERMINAL WIRING

Wire the cable to the Terminal Block as follows (see fig 6):

12 VDC: Power supply inputs
ALARM: Normally-Closed relay outputs
TAMPER: Normally-Closed Tamper
switch outputs EOL:End-of-Line resistor connection

STEP 5 TESTING

Testing should be performed using the RG65 VITRON tester which has been specially designed and calibrated to give accurate range test results.

  • Set lower selector switch on RG65 to CODE setting. Press operating button on tester to put unit into test mode. VITRON LED will blink every 2 seconds for 2 minutes.
  • HIGH FREQUENCY (AUDIO) TEST: Position the Glass Break Simulator at the farthest point on the protected glass and face it into the room. Set lower selector to GLASS setting and upper to type of glass to be simulated. Generate glass-break sound by pressing operating button. Verify that VITRON LED turns on for 3 seconds and ALARM relay is activated.
  • LOW FREQUENCY TEST: Tap the window gently. (Caution: breaking glass may cause injury). Verify that the VITRON produces several rapid flashes of its LED in conjunction with each tap. The ALARM relay is not activated in this case.

Note :All tests should be conducted under worst-case conditions. All sounds should be generated behind curtains or blinds, if present.

ENVIRONMENTAL TEST
Operate all devices in the protected region that may interfere with the detector, including air conditioners, fans, radios etc.
Observe the VITRON and note any disturbances.
If disturbances occur, re-position the unit and re-test. Turn all noise generating equipment off and wait until unit returns to NORMAL mode.
Note: The VITRON will return to NORMAL mode after two minutes.
Setting the “CODE” switch and pressing the “Manual” button at any time will initiate another two minutes of Full Remote Test Mode.
If RG65 tester is not available test mode can be initiated by inserting screwdriver in slot on front cover (to the right of the LED) and pressing the test button. The VITRON LED will blink every 2 seconds. VITRON will automatically return to normal mode after 5 minutes. Functional test can now be performed using another tester. Pressing the button again during the test mode will immediately return unit to normal mode.
Note: Any test performed using testers other than RG65 will not give accurate range results.

STEP 6 LED ON / OFF JUMPER

STEP 7 NORMAL OPERATION

There are three types of indication in normal mode:
Active Supervision: Any loud sounds such as clapping, whistling or key – jingling should produce a flash of the VITRON’s LED. This verifies that the VITRON is active. The alarm relay is not opened.
Passive Supervision: The Vitron continuously monitors its audio channel.
If no sounds are registered for more than 24 hours the LED will flash rapidly. This indication will persist until a sound is registered. The alarm relay is not opened.
Alarm: On detection of framed glass being broken from outside the LED will light continuously for 3 seconds and the alarm relay will open.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The VITRON Plus is an advanced microprocessor based Acoustic Glass Break Detector, for flush or surface wall/ceiling mounting, using advanced glass- breaking pattern analysis of both low frequency “flex” and high frequency “shatter” channels. It will detect the breaking of most common types of framed glass panes while ignoring false alarms.

MAIN FEATURES

  • Vitron RG71FM0G3 for flush (single gang box) or wall/ceiling mounting for up to 30′ (9m) ranges.

  • Suitable for most common types of plate, tempered, laminated and wired glass.

  • Minimum size for all types of glass: 30cm x 30cm (12”x12”)

  • Thickness Plate

  • No adjustments necessary – each unit is fully calibrated at factory.

  • Will not alarm if glass pane broken from inside or glass dropped on floor.

  • Active and passive microphone supervision – verifies unit is in working condition.

  • Full remote test using RG-65 Glass Break Simulator – no need to open unit.

  • RA66 optional ceiling/wall mount bracket available for optimal mounting and performance.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

WALL/CEILING MOUNTING

  • Open the cover using a flat screwdriver.
  • Remove the PCB in order to facilitate ease of wiring (see Fig 4).
  • Open the required mounting and cableholes (see Fig 5).
  • Insert the cable through the cable hole and mount the rear cover in its final location.
  • Seal the remaining holes with sealant.
  • Snap back the PCB (if removed).
