Glass breakage sensor

Glass breakage sensor





General

The glass breakage sensor detects sound (microphone type) and is activated when a car window is broken. It is housed in the rear roof lamp (Cabriolet: on the interior rear-view mirror) and connected to the following pins on TWICE:

Voltage +12V

Pin 10

Ground

Pin 57

Signal

Pin 58



Function

When the anti-theft alarm is armed, the glass breakage sensor is activated when it receives a power supply +12V from the control module to pin 3.

If a window is broken, the sensor detects the sound, processes the information and decides whether or not to trip the alarm. If the alarm is to be tripped, pin 58 is grounded on the TWICE control module via pin 1 on the sensor.

When the key has been removed from the ignition, the glass breakage sensor can be deactivated with the NIGHT PANEL button on SID. Information on the deactivation is sent on the bus and is read by TWICE, which deactivates the sensor.
