Smart Shield Systems
Wireless PowerG 2-way Glass-break
Detector
The DSC PowerG wireless glass-break detector listens for the specific acoustic pattern of framed glass breaking and alerts your security system instantly. It uses PowerG 2-way, AES-128 encrypted communications, has front and back tampers, and comes pre-calibrated for quick, reliable installs. Wall or ceiling mount, with visible link-quality LEDs to validate placement on the spot.

Why Choose This with Smart Shield Systems
Pro placement for real coverage: we follow the official range/room guidelines (e.g., ≤25 ft typical, ≥5 ft from glass, room size 10×10–40×40 ft), and mount where sound travels best—often the opposite wall at ~6 ft high.
Signal verified: we use the detector’s GOOD/STRONG link-quality LEDs before we leave, and enroll/test per the manual.
False-alarm savvy: we avoid small/noisy rooms and lined spaces per guidance, or recommend shock sensors where appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where should this detector be installed?
Best practice is the opposite wall of the protected glass (sound travels outward from the break), mounted about 6 ft high, and at least 5 ft from the glass. Ceiling and adjoining wall placements also work within range.
What glass types are supported?
Plate, tempered, laminated, wired, coated, and sealed insulated glass are supported (within size/thickness guidelines).
What is the real-world coverage?
Up to 25 ft in typical conditions; for UL/ULC listings, use 20 ft. Keep rooms within 10×10–40×40 ft, and remember range reduces at steep angles to the window.
How do you test it?
The detector includes a 15-minute Test Mode after power-up/closing the cover. Use a recognized simulator (e.g., FG-700/701) with a thump + break sound sequence, per the manual.
Any rooms to avoid?
Yes—small bathrooms, stairwells, noisy kitchens/garages, glass vestibules, rooms with heavy drapes or multiple noise sources are discouraged. In such spots, use shock sensors instead.
What’s the battery type and life?
One CR123A lithium cell; typical ~5 years (minimum 1 year). Your system reports low-battery automatically.
