VITRON
Glass Break Simulator
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The GB2100 is a unique, easy- to-operate tester, designed for testing glass-break detectors. When
used in conjunction with the VITRON™ glass-break detector (GB200), it eliminates the need to
open the detector for testing. This sophisticated tester can generate several different audio
sounds for testing the most comprehensive range of existing glass types.
OPERATIONAL SWITCHES
The VITRON™ tester has 3 switches:
1. MANUAL/OFF/AUTO
Activates the VITRON™ tester.
MANUAL – momentary position – generates a sound each time the switch is pressed.
AUTO
– latched position – the VITRON™ tester will continuously repeat the sound, followed by
a 4 seconds pause. Use this position to check the VITRON's optimal mounting
location. (The GB2100 is fixed near the window, while the VITRON™ is portable).
Note: In order to save battery-life, turn the switch to OFF after operation.
2. CODE/GLASS
Determines the type of sound the VITRON™ tester will emit.
CODE
– an Audible Coded Message is transmitted which puts the VITRON™ into Test Mode.
GLASS
– a real glass-breaking sound is released, according to the position of the
type-of-glass switch.
3. LAMINATED/WIRED, TEMPERED & PLATE
- selects the type of glass-breaking sound (for most commonly used glass types)
WARNING: The GB2100 produces loud sounds. Therefore, always point it away from someone's
ear when used at close range.
TESTING THE VITRON™:
The GB2100 allows a unique shortcut for testing the VITRON™ (GB2000), without having to open
up the detector.
Using an Audible Coded Message, the GB2100 remotely sets the VITRON™(GB2000) to Test
Mode, as described below:
a.
Aim the GB2100 towards the VITRON™ (line-of-sight) and generate an Audible Coded
Message:
1. Set the lower slide switch to "CODE"
2. Press on "MANUAL".
b.
Verify that the VITRON™ enters Test Mode. (The LED blinks once every 2 seconds).
c.
Hold the simulator with its back side close to the furthest point of the protected glass while
facing the VITRON™ glass-break detector.
Note: If the protected glass is covered by curtains, blinds, etc.., hold the tester behind them
(worst conditions).
d.
Generate a glass breaking sound:
1. Set the lower slide switch to "GLASS".
2. Set the upper slide switch to the desired type of glass.
3. Press to "MANUAL" or "AUTO" position.
e.
Verify that the VITRON™ detector enter ALARM Mode. (The LED lights up for 2 seconds and
alarm relay is activated).
Note: With VITRON™ in Test Mode, setting CODE switch and pressing "MANUAL" will
extend Test Mode by another 2 minutes.
