The Napco Prima PGB wireless encrypted glassbreak detector is a highly advanced security device designed to enhance the protective capabilities of the Napco Prima security system. This detector is engineered to identify the unique acoustic signature of breaking glass, making it an essential component for safeguarding homes and businesses against unauthorized entry through windows or glass doors. With its wireless and encrypted communication, the PGB ensures secure and reliable transmission of alerts to the central security system, minimizing the risk of interference or tampering.
The PGB glassbreak sensor detects the resonant frequency of shattered or broken glass up to 23 feet away. When the sound of broken glass is detected, the PGB sensor will then transmit an alarm notification to the Prima control panel (PP1A/PP1V), end-user, and/or GeoArm central monitoring station informing everyone selected of an alarm initiating event. The PGB sensor must always be in direct line of sight of all windows to be protected and cannot consistently detect glass breaking around corners or in other rooms.
One of the standout features of the Napco Prima PGB is its sophisticated sound analysis technology, which can distinguish between the sound of breaking glass and other common household noises. This reduces the likelihood of false alarms, providing peace of mind to users. The detector is designed to cover a wide area, making it suitable for rooms with multiple windows or large glass surfaces. Its sleek and unobtrusive design allows it to blend seamlessly into any environment, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the space while providing robust security.
Installation of the Napco Prima PGB is straightforward, thanks to its wireless design, which eliminates the need for complex wiring. This makes it an ideal choice for both new installations and retrofitting existing security systems. The device is powered by long-lasting batteries, ensuring continuous operation and reducing the need for frequent maintenance. Overall, the Napco Prima PGB Wireless Encrypted Glassbreak Detector is a reliable and efficient solution for enhancing the security of any property, offering advanced protection against potential break-ins.

The best wall-mount location, for the Napco PPIR, is on the opposite wall, assuming the glass to be protected is within the sensor's range and line of sight. The adjoining wall can also be used.
Ceiling-Mount Installation Tips:
Mount the glassbreak detector in a location that has direct line of sight of the glass to be protected. Since sound travels directionally out from a broken window, a position 7 ft. (2.1m) into the room provides best detection.
To determine the best mounting location, mount the glassbreak sensor:
Mount at least 3.3 ft. (1 m) from the windows being protected and at least 4 ft. (1.2 m) from noise sources such as TVs, speakers, sinks, and doors.
In the direct line of sight of the glass to be protected.
In a suitable environment: temperature between 14 and 120°F (-10 and 50°C) and humidity between 10 and 90% (non-condensing).
On a stable surface up to 23 ft. (7.0 m) from the farthest point on the glass surface.
The Napco PPIR glassbreak detector is omni-directional, providing 360° coverage. Coverage is measured from the glassbreak sensor to the point on the glass farthest from the sensor. The sensor can be mounted as close as 3.3 ft. (1 m) from the glass.
The maximum range depends on the type of glass being protected:
Armor-Coated Glass: Mount the glassbreak sensor no more than 12 ft. (3.6 m) from the glass.
Plate, Tempered, Laminated and Wired Glass: Mount the glassbreak sensor on the ceiling or the opposite or adjoining wall. Maximum range is 23 ft. (7.0 m).
