Overview
The Dahua ARD511 is a wired glass-break detector. It listens for the specific high-frequency sound produced when glass actually cracks and shatters, and opens its alarm contact so the panel can respond. Mount it on a wall or ceiling facing a shop window, glass door, display case or office partition to catch an intruder who breaks the glass instead of opening a door.
Is it right for you?
- It suits a wired alarm panel such as the Dahua ARC2008C-V3 or ARC2016C-V3, powered from the panel’s auxiliary output.
- Its resistance to electrical and radio interference suits it to base stations and warehouses.
- Heavy curtains or blinds between the detector and the glass reduce sensitivity, so it needs a clear line to the panes.
- For a Dahua wireless alarm, the ARD512-W2 is the wireless equivalent.
- Indoor use, -10 to 55 °C.
Key features
- Detection range up to 9 m.
- Adjustable sensitivity.
- Resistant to electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference (EMI and RFI).
- Normally closed (NC) alarm output rated 28 V DC, 80 mA, and a separate NC case and wall tamper output rated 28 V DC, 100 mA.
- Red and green indicator.
- Runs on 9 to 16 V DC and draws 25 mA or less at 12 V DC, 0.4 W at most.
- Wall or ceiling mounting; white ABS housing, 67 x 26.4 x 92 mm, 85 g.
What else you need
A wired alarm panel with a spare zone for the alarm output and one for the tamper output, a 9 to 16 V DC supply, normally the panel’s auxiliary output, and alarm cable.
Installation
An alarm installer should fit it. Mount it on the wall or ceiling within 9 m of the glass with a clear line to the panes, wire power and the alarm and tamper outputs to the panel, set the sensitivity and test it.
Before you buy
- Mount it with a clear line to the glass; heavy curtains or blinds reduce sensitivity.
- The alarm output is limited to 28 V DC, 80 mA.
