I do not use glass break detectors very often, and have not for about a year now. Need to install about 10 in a new office building (all ceiling mounted in offices). In your opinion(s) what brand and model could you recommend for this job? Also, I need a good quality audio detector for a 15'x15' file room. Do not want to go as far as a "Potter" unit, but would like you input here too. Thank you. Robert
I use IEI 550LS or Intellisense FG-730's. IEIs are more expensive..I have hundreds of them out there (some guys don't like them but I've not had problems with them), recently I've been using the 730's which are cheaper, and have not had problems with them either.
The IEI's have setting for type of glass and a few other features I like. The 730 only has a sensitivity dial inside, generally I use these for residential.

Thanks to all for your help . . . looks like I will go with the Intellisense. Still need a good audio detector for that file room . . .. Robert
Years ago I had major problems with IEI and stopped using them. Other dealers who use them today say the new models are good and I don't dispute that. I've installed thousands of IntelliSense (now part of Honeywell) glass breaks over the years and have had excellent results with them. They have a relatively new model which you might like for ceiling installations. It's called an FG-1625RFM. The unit is extremely compact. It fits in a small hole in the sheetrock. The part that shows is about the size of a silver dollar -- a major help with WAF on residential installations. :^)
That's one area in which I've no experience so I'll defer to others.
What kind of glass?? What are the window treatments?? What kind of floor covering (carpet, hardwood, tile) or is it just bare concrete?? How high are the ceilings?? What kind of ceiling (T-Bar, Sheet rock)?
Caddx 2000 is excellent. Same price range as the FG730's but better case. It's round, we don't have to spend a lot of time getting them parallel with the walls and ceiling. I use 5 to 20 in almost every home we do. Have virtually no false alarms from them. Regards, Allan

What? you didn't stole anything online on this subject?
He did... He wanted to avoid he issue of "current" installation experience (of which he has none).
I said I would defer to folks with experience on audio sensors. That does not include you.

did i talk about the op question?
Might want to read this...........
What ever you use, make sure to follow the install instructions very closely. That is where many mess up.
Hope this helps.
