Honeywell FG1625RFM
Round Flush Mount Glass Break Detector
Description
The Honeywell FG1625RFM is a found flush mounted glass break detector. The FG1625RFM is designed to quickly and easily be recessed into a 1” diameter hole in the wall, providing a very small profile with Honeywell’s ultimate glass break detection technology. The FG1625RFM has four sensitivity settings that can be set using the dip switches, allowing you to customize your installation to match the type of windows to be protected, distance to the detector and the acoustic features of the room.
To mount the Honeywell FG1625RFM, drill a 1” diameter hole into a false ceiling or sheet rock. The sensor requires a minimum depth of 2.75” from the surface of the wall or ceiling. Pull the four wires from your Honeywell wired security system through the hole in the wall, and through the back of the wall sleeve. Slide the wall sleeve into place, ensuring the “TOP” marking is properly aligned. Connect the four wires to the detector, and slide it into the wall sleeve, and then snap the front cover into place. Ensure that the FG1625RFM is mounted at least 6’ away from the floor and 3’ from sirens, bells and air ducts. The FG1625RFM must be mounted within 25’ of the protected glass, and in clear view.
Glass break sensors are the ideal way to protect the perimeter of your property. Motion detectors will only pick up a criminal once they have entered the property, and cannot be armed in the stay mode to prevent you from accidentally tripping your own system. The Honeywell 1625RFM glass break allows you to protect your windows at the point of entry, whether you are at home sleeping, or on the road. The Honeywell FG1625RFM is the ultimate low profile glass break sensor, and is designed to be nearly unnoticeable. The FG1625RFM can be easily tested for range and reliability using the FG701 glass break simulator. Get the ultimate in Honeywell’s FlexGuard glass break technology in the most subtle mounting design available with the FG1625RFM.

The Honeywell FG1625RFM is a flush-mount "recessed" glass break sensor that is used to detect broken windows or other protective glass casings. It is fairly unique in being recessed into the fall. Normally one would think of a glass break sensor being surface-mounted. However, the Honeywell FG1625RFM works quite well in detecting glass break events. We think it's a fine sensor, and we give it 5 Stars.
When installing the Honeywell FG1625RFM, you will want to drill a hole that is 1" in diameter. The minimum required depth is 2.75 from the surface. You should have the four wires from the panel that will connect with the panel pulled through the hole and through the wall sleeve for the sensor. You can then slide the wall sleeve into place and connect the wires to the sensor. If you don't mind running and fishing wires, then this is absolutely something you can do at home as part of a weekend project. And you will be happy with the aesthetically pleasing end-result of a recessed sensor.
Our technicians have found that the Honeywell FG1625RFM Glass Break Sensor works very reliably in detecting broken windows or broken glass casings. That said, there are a few things you will want to keep in mind when selecting a location for the device. For one, it should be mounted at least 6 feet away from the floor and 3 feet away from any sirens, bells, or air ducts. Any glass window or casing should be within 25 feet of the glass break sensor, and it should ideally have a clear and direct view. Make sure to test the sensor with a glass break simulator after installing.
When used correctly, the Honeywell FG1625RFM can make a reliable addition to your security system. It is great for anyone who needs a hardwired sensor to monitor for broken windows or casings. And the recessed design is perfect for certain applications. This is a great sensor when the need calls for it, and it deserves a 5 Star Rating.
