Overview
Glass break or acoustic shock sensor — ShatterPro, Sentrol, or standalone shock sensors for glass protection.
On Interlogix systems, wireless devices are supervised zones on the panel — tamper, low battery, and missing signals appear as trouble conditions that may block arming depending on panel programming.
