Is there a way to test the 730 glass breaks without getting an fg-701? e.g. could I play back recorded sounds of glass breaking, or break some empty coke bottles? Also, can I hook up multiple 730s in series somehow? Do I just make a look around the C & NC, and the V- & V+? My main panel is a Vista20p.

A handful of pennies in a empty drink can, shaken vigorously, will usually do the trick. It takes a little practice to hit the right pitch of sound.

how ...? holy cow, MrRonFl, how many years have you been in the security business? how do you know all this stuff?

Really, you should write a book.

Some of it is just practice, but I took my first electronics courses in 1977. Let's just say I've seen a lot of technology changes.
