Honeywell releases the Lyric system SIXGB glass break detection sensor, it what could be the most advanced glass break sensor ever. This video will go over a first impressions look at the sensor and detail the good and the bad.

The new Lyric security system from Honeywell has all new technology for all in one wireless home protection. All of the sensors are battery operated and have full supervision which will give you complete control of your entire home defense system.

The SIXGB sensor is a mini computer that is able to receive wireless firmware updates through the secure connection. The look of the sensor matches the look of the lyric system which allows for aesthetic appearance and a low profile.

Our video will show you that installing the sensor to the wall is made easy with a removable back plate that slide-locks in place. Removing the back plate allows for simple installation and mounting. Using the included wall anchors and screws you can quickly add glass break detection to your existing Lyric security system.

The range of the sensor has been improved over older glass break sensors and the control panel can pick up the signal of the sensor from about 300 feet. This allows for a larger detection range with fewer sensors.

Each sensor will detect glass breaks based on frequency of the broken glass. Once the microphone picks up the frequency it alerts the panel of a possible glass break and the panel will then alert you through audible alerts, panic alarms, text or emails alerts.

The Lyric SIXGB glass break detection sensor runs on a single CR123A lithium battery. We recommend you replace your batteries at least every six months. However, the sensor’s computer chip will read the battery level and you can use the Lyric control panel to see the battery level at any time.

The maximum range for the glass break detection sensor is 25 feet. You can mount the sensor to the ceiling or the wall in any room where there are glass at points of entry, the sensor adds an extra layer of perimeter detection system.

The sensor also comes with two tamper switches that prevent the Lyric SIXGB glass break detection sensor from being disabled. Follow along with the video guide to learn where these are located.

The first is on the mounting plate locking device. If the front plate is ever twisted off and removed from the backing plate, the tamper switch would be released and an alert would fire, notifying the panel, and you of a tamper.

The second is used when mounting. If you utilize the stud mount tamper switch, the alert would fire if the unit was ever removed from the wall. The break away tab would stay behind, releasing the tamper switch and alerting you with a tamper alarm.
