HoneywellIntellisense FG-730 Dual Flex-Guard Audio Glass-Break Detector

Firstly, I am an advanced DIY-er and NOT a professional security systems installer.Having said that, I installed my 16 zone system about 16 years ago and recently one of Glass-Break detectors became overly sensitive and was generating false alarms even with the sensitivity adjustment at the minimum setting. I purchased this Honeywell FG-730 as a replacement for the failing detector. The FG-730 appears solidly made and the unit has an attractive appearance.Since I do not own the recommended Honeywell Intellisense FG-701 Micro-Flex Tester, I started with the sensitivity adjustment at mid-range and tweaked it until the new Glass-Break detector responds reliably to my "simulated breaking glass" noise test. (a large bunch of car keys dropped on the ceramic tile floor).The ambient noise sensors function properly. I am confident the detector will respond well to an actual breaking glass which I hope will never actually happen.One thing I found out, that the latch jumper pins come enabled by default, so I removed the jumper as I do not want the red LED latched on after an event has occurred.

Item as described, well packaged, timely delivery. Easy installation, only a few minutes to disconnect the three wires and reattach to the new sensor. Be sure to test the sensor with a glass break sound, then you'll be able to set your alarm.

Good quality and value

I bought this following suggestions from various forums. It works very well and rarely triggers a false alarm (thankfully all have been when I am at home and the alarm system isn't armed). Generally though it works extremely well. Too bad it has been hard to find lately.

I haven’t tried to install it. The box it is in honestly looks like it’s 20 years old! Hard to believe! I will take a photo and send it in. I am not happy with the condition.
