- Paradox G550-K9A Wireless Acoustic Glassbreak Detector Paradox G550-K9A Wireless Acoustic Glassbreak Detector
- Description
The Paradox G550-K9A (G550) is an advanced omnidirectional wireless acoustic glassbreak detector designed to provide perimeter intrusion protection for residential and commercial spaces. Operating on a 433 MHz RF frequency, it monitors for the distinct sound signatures generated by shattering glass, allowing security systems to register an intrusion before an intruder steps inside the building.
Engineered with dual-frequency acoustic analysis, the G550 requires both lower-frequency pressure waves (flex phase) and high-frequency shattering sounds (audio phase) to trigger an alarm, effectively eliminating false triggers caused by environmental noise, dropped keys, or thunder. Featuring a 360° detection pattern with a coverage radius up to 6 meters (20 feet), a single G550 detector can secure multiple windows or glass doors in a room. It integrates seamlessly with Paradox Magellan control panels (such as MG5050+ and MG5075) or Spectra SP and Digiplex EVO systems equipped with an RTX3 wireless receiver module.
Key System Features & Functionality
-
Dual-Spectrum Acoustic Sensing: Analyzes both low-frequency pressure impact waves and high-frequency glass shattering frequencies to eliminate false alarms.
-
360° Omnidirectional Coverage: Provides full 360-degree coverage up to a 6-meter (20-foot) detection radius from the sensor location.
-
Multi-Glass Type Detection: Detects breakage across standard plate glass, tempered glass, laminated glass, wired glass, and double-pane sealed units.
-
433 MHz Wireless Integration: Fully compatible with Paradox Magellan wireless control panels and RTX3 expansion receivers for reliable long-range RF reporting.
-
Dual Tamper Sabotage Protection: Equipped with cover opening and wall removal tamper switches to detect physical sabotage instantly.
-
Adjustable Sensitivity Settings: Features selectable high and low acoustic sensitivity levels to tailor performance to small rooms or larger architectural spaces.
