Description
The DG-50 is an acoustic glassbreak detector designed to listen for the specific sonic frequencies of breaking glass. The DG-50 is equipped with multi-level discriminating circuitry to maximize its response to breaking glass and minimize its response to normal environmental noises. As well, the DG-50 is extremely resistant to seismic shock and will not alarm in response to a slamming door or even a tap on the case.
Locating the Detector
Since the energy of breaking glass is transmitted through the air, the location of the detector, relative to the window(s) to be protected and the furnishings in the room are important considerations.
Sound absorbing materials such as curtains, rugs, acoustic tile, wall coverings and plush furniture reduce the energy received by the detector. To assist in establishing proper operation, use the DG-50ST acoustic tester and adjust the sensitivity as required.

Sensitivity Adjustment
If the sensitivity is too high, turn the adjustment counter-clockwise and if reliable detection is not achieved, increase the sensitivity by turning the adjustment clockwise. Sensitivity should not be adjusted any higher than necessary to achieve reliable detection.
Setup
Use the double-sided tape provided with the detector to temporarily mount the detector in the selected location and with the DG-50ST tester, verify that the detector responds consistently.
Place the DG-50ST tester against the window to be protected and operate 3 times. If the detector does not respond each time, relocate the detector or adjust the sensitivity and repeat the test. If there are multiple windows or one large window, use the tester at the extreme location. When the detector responds consistently, it can be permanently mounted using the supplied screws.
If there are drapes or curtains that can be closed to cover the window(s), they should be closed for the setup tests. Hold the DG-50ST tester between the drapes and the window. If the curtains or drapes prevent reliable detection, it is suggested that the detector be mounted behind the drapes either on the wall or the ceiling.
Mounting the DG-50
Once the location has been determined, open the detector by pressing the release tab on the bottom with a small flat-blade screwdriver. Remove the cover and set in a safe location. Draw the wires through the rectangular opening in the backplate and connect to the terminal block. Observe polarity for power wiring. Mount the detector using the two mounting screws. Once the detector is permanently mounted, repeat the installation tests using the DG-50ST tester to confirm proper operation.
Notes
- Contacts are shown with the DG-50 energized in the non-alarm state.
- Contacts shown are for the model DG-50C.
- The model DG-50A includes NC alarm contact only.
DG-50 USED WITH TEMPERED GLASS
To ensure glass break detection on tempered plate glass, the DG-50 must be mounted directly in front of the surface to be protected at a maximum distance of 12 feet and a minimum distance of 5 feet. For difficult applications location of the unit must provide a direct line-of-sight between the DG-50 and the protected glass at an angle not to exceed 45 degrees. A rule of thumb for most applications is to locate the DG-50 approximately the same distance from the surface to be protected as the distance between the center of the glass and the ceiling of the room.
