• Glass Break Testing- A glass break detector uses an audio microphone to pick up the actual frequency of broken glass. If the detector hears broken glass an alarm will sound. Tests were performed on the Bosch Glass Break Detector to see if it meets performance capabilities. Detectors are placed at different distances from the glass fixture. Glass is broken to see if the detector alarms. Different glass materials, different glass sizes and competitor products were evaluated… Show more • Glass Break Testing- A glass break detector uses an audio microphone to pick up the actual frequency of broken glass.
