Introduction

The detector «Steklo-3» (hereinafter, the Detector):
- is intended for detecting destruction of all known kinds of construction 

glass: common, quenched, patterned, armored, multilayer and laminated 
with polymer film, glass units, as well as hollow glass blocks installed in 
structural units (openings) and/or interior elements of closed spaces;

- generates alarm messages by control relay contacts opening;
- ensures case tamper protection;
- may be installed on the wall, ceiling or on a pier between the 

monitored glass and curtains.

Features of the Detector

The Detector:
- ensures remote monitoring of controlled glazed structures of any 

shape;

- detects destruction of all known kinds of construction glass of 

different dimensions and shapes;

- provides multilevel microprocessor signal processing and functional 

self-test;

- offer to user an opportunity to choose algorithm of the Detector 

operation in dependence on situation on the secured object or on 
chosen security tactics;

- displays the Detector status information and noise interference by 

means of LED indication;

- possibility of LED indication disabling;
- operates in temperature range from minus 20 up to + 45 

0

С, supply 

voltage range 9 … 17 V.

Field of Application

The Detector can be applied in offices, shops, museums, exhibition 

halls, banks, accommodation rooms, etc.

Choosing the Detector Location

Before installing the Detector, get acquainted  with the following 

requirements:

- when choosing the place of installation, the Detector detection zone 

location must be taken into account (Figure 1);

- it is recommended to install the Detector at least 2 m height (see 

examples of installation in Figures 4 – 8);

- during joint operation with an active ultrasonic Detector, distance 

between Detectors must be not less than 1 m;

- the entire surface of the monitored glass should be available within 

the direct visibility of the Detector;

- distance (L) between the Detector and the farthest point of the 

monitored glass should not exceed 6 m. If square of a secured glass 

exceeds 1 m

2

, distance L can be increased up to 9 m;

- for protection of any type of glasses listed in Table 2, universal mode 

of the Detector operation can be applied.

Adjustment

Set the «1», «2» and «5» DIP-switches to the ON position. Energize the 

Detector. At this time the red LED indicator («Alarm» message indicator) 

should  light  for  2  –  10  sec  and  go  out,  that  indicates  the  Detector 

changing to standby mode.

Estimate the interference situation in the room. Yellow LED indicator 

lighting is an evidence of high-frequency interference in the room. Green 
LED lighting means low-frequency interference presence. Eliminate the 
cause of interference wherever it is possible. 

Fulfill the Detector adjustment as follows:

- set DIP-switches «1» and «2» in OFF position, DIP-switch «6» – in 

ON position, DIP-switches «3» and «4» – in OFF position;

- suspend a steel ball 21 

– 22 mm in diameter on a 35 cm long thread 

near the farthest part of the monitored glass (ordinary, ornamental, 

armed, laminated), deflect it at an angle of 30 – 70° (see Table 3, 45° 

for hollow glass blocks). Deliver a blow to the most distant place of 
the secured glass. If red indicator is not lighting after test blows, the 

Detector sensitivity should be increased by DIP-switches «1» and «2» 

(See Table 2).

– for monitoring a multilayer glass or a small area of glass, it is allowed 

to use electronic glass break simulator during adjustment;

- check the correctness of the Detector adjustment with the Detector 

cover installed;

–  after  completing  the  Detector  adjustment,  set  DIP-switch  «6»  to 

OFF position and choose the mode of operation by «3», «4» and «5» 
DIP-switches (See Table 2) in accordance with type of secured glass 

and security tactics accepted on the object.

Manufacturer’s Guarantees

The manufacturer guarantees conformity of the Detector to the 

Technical Specifications requirements provided the transportation, 
storage, installation and operation conditions are observed.

The guaranteed shelf life of the Detector is 63 months since the date 

of manufacture.

The guaranteed useful life is 60 months since the day of putting into 

operation within the guaranteed shelf life.

The Detectors that are found non-conforming to the Technical 

Specifications requirements shall be repaired by manufacturer, provided 
the installation and operation rules have been complied with.
