Product SupportInstallation guide & product manual
Battery-free wireless climb detection for exposed glass balustrade top edges.
Understand the intended system role and installation geometry before work begins.
The Glass Balustrade Climb Detection Sensor detects pressure from an attempted climb-over and transmits a wireless alarm event.
Its intended alarm response depends on the paired receiver, zone configuration and project design.
This guide covers direct-fit U-channel mounting on straight, stable tempered or laminated glass up to 20 mm thick, structural-sealant bonding, standard and custom sensor lengths, a minimum 2 mm inter-unit gap and onsite assessment of unusual profiles or transition details.
Confirm the approved package contents and prepare the required installation materials.
This product is part of a security system and does not replace physical protection or certified life-safety equipment.
The supplied dimension diagram is the exact visual source for product geometry and scale.
Follow this sequence for an approved Glass Balustrade Sensor installation.
Confirm the tempered or laminated glass edge is straight, stable, undamaged and no more than 20 mm thick. Confirm any coating is compatible with the selected structural sealant.
Use standard 500 mm units for the main run and custom 300 mm or 200 mm units for shorter sections.
Clean and dry the supported exposed glass edge or eligible top cap and the inside of the sensor U-channel using methods compatible with the structural sealant.
Apply two or three straight lines of compatible construction-grade structural sealant inside the sensor U-channel.
Fit each Glass Balustrade Sensor directly over the marked edge and maintain a minimum 2 mm gap between adjacent sensors.
After the structural sealant has cured, trigger and test every installed unit from its final position with the paired hub or I/O module.
Complete the final approved system sequence before customer release.
Follow the receiver-specific guide for enrollment, zone naming, success indications and removal.
Do not hand over the installation until the complete event path works reliably from every final position.
Use these states to verify the physical product and connected-system response.
| State | Glass Balustrade Sensor | Expected system behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Normal condition | The Glass Balustrade Sensor remains unobstructed on the protected glass balustrade edge. | No alarm event is generated. |
| Climb-over pressure | Pressure activates the self-powered sensing mechanism. | A 433 MHz RF alarm event is transmitted. |
| Receiver gets event | No local control is required at the sensor. | Mini Alarm Hub or Wireless I/O Module response follows the configured zone rules. |
| After activation | The sensor automatically returns to its normal state. | No reset, disarm or other action is required at the sensor. |
Resolve installation, power and communication faults before replacing the product.
| Symptom | Likely cause | Action |
|---|---|---|
| No event during activation test | Sensor not enrolled, receiver unavailable, weak RF path or incorrect mechanical activation. | Test near the receiver, confirm enrollment and inspect the final installation geometry. |
| Intermittent alerts | Weak radio conditions, metal shielding, unstable mounting or marginal activation. | Repeat tests at the final position and correct mounting or receiver location. |
| False or repeated alerts | Movement, obstruction, misalignment or unsuitable mounting surface. | Inspect the protected point, remove interference and remount if required. |
| Adhesive begins lifting | Contaminated surface, insufficient cure, unsuitable substrate or incorrect adhesive. | Remove safely, prepare again and remount using the approved bonding system. |
| Wrong device shown | Incorrect zone naming during commissioning. | Correct the device name and repeat the complete functional test. |
