"5600-W ShatterPoint glassbreak sensor, Form C relay, tamper switch, white"
"Sentrol's Residential ShatterPoint "Tru-Dual" Transducer Sensor provides superior false alarm immunity and perimeter protection for a single point of entry such as sliding glass doors, side-light windows, kitchen windows, or large picture windows up to 10..."
