FG-701 Glassbreak Simulator
Note: Pressing the RED button again will deactivate the
detector test mode. Test mode also turns off automatically
after 5 to 10 minutes. (Refer to the detector’s installation
instructions.)

produces extremely loud sounds and
can be hazardous to hearing when
used at close range.

Testing detector alarm function (FLEX mode):
OPERATING THE SIMULATOR
Important: If window coverings are present,
In the following, "flex" refers to the low frequency sound
caused by gently thumping the window and "audio" refers to
the high frequency sound from the glassbreak simulator.
If the detector range is adjustable, check that it is set correctly
per the detector’s installation instructions.
FlexGuard® glassbreak detectors with test mode must be in
test mode for accurate testing with the FG-701. For those
detectors, use Activate to start test mode. Refer to the
detector’s installation instructions for test mode details.
close them fully and hold the FG-701 behind the
window coverings for testing.
1. Set the FG-701 to TEST and FLEX. See B.
2. Position the FG-701 near the farthest point of the protected
glass, and point the speaker directly at the glassbreak
detector.
3. Press the RED button. The simulator will "click" and start an
8-second armed period.
4. Generate a flex signal by carefully thumping the glass with
a cushioned tool. The FG-701 will respond by producing a
burst of glass-break audio.
If both the flex and audio are received properly, the red alarm
LED on the detector will light, and the detector will send an
alarm.

For all detectors that
have test mode
After the simulator is triggered by a flex signal, there is a one-
second hold-off period during which the FG-701 will not trigger
again. This prevents repeated triggering due to continued
vibration of the glass.
Successfully triggering the simulator with a flex signal
generates a new 8-second armed period. If you do not
generate a flex signal within 8 seconds, the simulator will
automatically "click" off. Press the red button to re-arm the
simulator.

MAN
The FG-701 may also be turned off by selecting MAN
(manual) mode.
To Activate glassbreak detector test mode:
Testing detector range [MAN (manual) mode]:
1. Install the glassbreak detector as per the detector’s
installation instructions.
2. Stand within 6' (2m) of the detector.
If the glassbreak detector fails to signal an alarm when testing
in the FLEX mode, switch the FG-701 to the MAN (manual)
mode. Audio range can be tested independently in this mode.
This will enable you to determine if the problem is flex or audio
detection.
3. Set the FG-701 to ACTIVATE and MAN (manual). See A.
4. Aim the FG-701 speaker at the detector.
5. Press the RED button for the ACTIVATE sound.
The green LED will flash once per second to indicate the
detector is in test mode.
If test mode does not start, try again from a different position.
