I have french doors with 10 glass panes, non opening. Would 1 detector work for all 10 panes or would I need 1 for each pane?

Newer windows have a single glass pane with simulated panels. In that case you can use just one sensor. However if your door does indeed have 10 separate panes, then you would need sensors on the panes within 'arms reach' or the door lock.

I don't know if it would work on such a door(s). I have only used it on glass panes which are contiguous, not separated by wood or metal...I don't think it would work if I had to guess. I wouldn't use this detector on beautiful French doors: rather, I'd use motion detector(s) on a wall which would not detract from the doors' looks. These detectors are about the size of silver dollars.

I'd use a sound-activated glass break detector in conjunction with a magnetic switch to detect if the door is opened without breaking the glass.

This detector "comes with" several features not found in less expensive models. It has a 'pin pointer' feature that is useful. Study the manual.I purchased a Garrett "Pro Pointer" which I use in conjunction with the detector. Use the included earphones.

You can add up to 16 sensors to a single receiver. Once you have a receiver, just purchase additional sensors ie. window/door, motion sensor, or water monitor.

The product sensor attaches to a single garage door (can be single car width or double car width). The switch sends an on/off signal to one motor control unit via wired connection. If you have two separate doors to open, you will need two of these products.

I purchased this item for my Simon XT. It works very well. You need to have a programmer/ installer code for your XT. (This is nothing special other than the factory setting code if brand new, or master/ installer code that you have changed and set.) You set the system to its "learn sensor" mode, then trip the glass break detector by opening the cover. This should program new sensor without a problem. My detector came with batteries and basic instructions.

I put one per window pane. If the window is bigger, like the size of a door, I use the big hawk-like decals that are bigger than the maple leaf. The good thing about these is they also keep people from walking through the door/window :-)

I advise against it. Changes in temperature on the glass will degrade the sticker over time. Exposure to direct sunlight also isn't advised. I placed my detector near my front door. This allows for changes in air around the detector.

I'm not sure if different types of glass affect the sensitivity differently. I put one of these in my laundry room and we have glass doors on our washer & dryer where you can see the laundry tumbling and they do NOT trigger the lights. The laundry inside the drum is also not lit so it's pretty dark on the other side of the glass. I have not tested to see if turning those lights on will trigger the sensor because I was hoping that the light didn't come on because of my washer & dryer.

I'm looking for an answer on this, too. I need 6 total but I think only having 2 CO units would be fine. I'd prefer to save the cost of buying them all with CO detection. Did you get an answer, Bob?

2 mounting screws and a small hole for the wire are needed. The mounting screw holes may align with holes from prior detectors

I have four; one has the sensor facing the house and is a few inches from the wall. It does not affect its ability to detect light and it turns on and off at the same time as the others.

I dont have a door/window alarm, but I dont see why you have to buy a separate receiver. You have up to four zones, so you would just set up the door or window detector to anyone of those you have open.

they are sold as individual inserts 1 per window- they will only work on Clopay garage doors. These are short panel Charleston so for the picture you would need 4.

One sensor. I imagine more than one could be used but check with the mfg first.

It depends on what width door you have. A standard single car door usually needs just four. Remember they are decorative inserts not the actual glass windows so just count the windows on the door you have or are going to tide and you should be fine. They are quite easy to install on the exterior or interior of the window and look great. Hope thus helps.

Call Universal Security Instruments customer service. My home is hardwired and I wanted to ensure all 5 detectors were connected to the household current and have the battery as a backup. Further, all of my detectors are interconnected so that if one goes off, they all go off. You may want to check out a different model if you are only interested in a battery operated detector.

Only one and make very sure someone with steady hands.installs the safe. I don't and tried to move it.I messed up.
