Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I install the IQ Glass-S?

Install on a wall opposite the windows being protected or on the ceiling (in rooms with windows on multiple sides). Keep it at least 3.3 ft from the glass and 4 ft from noise sources (speakers, TVs, HVAC). We’ll verify coverage during testing.

What’s the detection range?

When set to MAX, the sensor is rated for up to 20 ft line-of-sight to the glass; lower ranges (13 ft, 8 ft, 5 ft) are selectable to match the room.

Will it still work at night or in Stay mode?

Yes. The IQ Glass-S listens whenever the system is armed—including Stay—so perimeter windows can be protected while you’re home.

How far can it be from the panel?

Open-air radio range to the panel is listed up to ~600 ft; actual range depends on construction and placement. We confirm signal strength during installation.

Any tips to avoid false alarms?

We tune sensitivity using the built-in DIP switches, mount at recommended distances, and avoid noisy sources in the immediate vicinity—best practices that keep protection high and nuisance trips low.
