Troubleshooting a Lyric (SiX) Glassbreak Detector loss of supervision

Troubleshooting a Lyric (SiX) Glassbreak Detector loss of supervision


If a SIXGB glassbreak sensor is showing a loss of supervision, this means that for whatever reason, the sensor is not being monitored by the alarm panel. To ensure that the sensor is being monitored properly, perform the following troubleshooting steps.

  1. Perform a walk test on the sensor. After placing the panel in walk test mode, you can rap sharply on the cover with a pen. This will simulate the sound of breaking glass. If the sensor trips on the panel, it is being monitored. If not, further troubleshooting will be required.
  2. If this sensor has a history of low battery, the battery may have died completely and is no longer being monitored as it no longer has power. If this is the case, replace the battery in the sensor. If you do not know how to do this read the artcile titled "How to change the battery in the Lyric (SiX) Glassbreak Detector".
  3. Ensure that the sensor is within range of the panel. It needs to be within 200 feet of the panel, with minimal interference, (walls, doors, etc.) If signal strength is the issue, you can confirm that by performing a Go no Go test. If you do not know how to do this, contact our Technical Support department for assistance.
  4. If none of these reasons explain the loss of supervision of the sensor, you will need to contact our Technical Support department for assistance.
