Hpatz1 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Have installed an alarm in my shop. Texecom elite system. we have a risco break glass sensor fitted onto the ceiling. we have a double door system but when the door closes it tends to slam and this sets of the break glass sensor. Also there is a mag lock on the door and that locking also causes the sensor to go off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Was there a question? Replace and/or resite the breakglass if that's the most appropriate equipment to use, it's not fit for the job as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hpatz1 Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 Aluminium. Would it be ok to use shocks. Double knock? Would that still be grade 3 certified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 DIY can't do Grade 3. Double Knock doesn't conform to any standard. Motion detection fitted correctly can cover a window area if the window was broken. Hence the question is a glass break the correct detection for the task, most often they are not.

Hpatz1 Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 So if I the shock sensors on double knock to prevents false alarms from someone banging the window. This wouldn’t be grade 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Double knock doesn't comply. Windows tend to only break once too. You might be better with window foil. I hate glass break sensors generally but I'd suggest a different glass break detector assuming you have it sited correctly.
