SC100 Seismic Vibration Detector

 

Installation Guide 

 

1. General Information 

SC100 Seismic Vibration Detector is a universal seismic or structural vibration detector designed to detect selected vibrations 
from burglary or intrusion attempt to high value storage units, such as Vaults, Doors, ATMs, Safes and other solid structures. 
The detector consists of a sensor to convert mechanical vibrations to electrical signals, a signal conditioning block, signal 
analysis and alarm criteria blocks, output alarm circuits, tamper protection, and a switching block for selecting detector 
settings, all in a miniature metal housing. 
This Installation Guide provides general information about the mounting and configuring of SC100 Seismic Vibration Detector. 
For more details, such as planning detector locations, please refer to 

“SC100 Seismic Vibration Detector Planning and 

Installation Guide”

”. 

2.  The parameters in the table above are only for reference, and they may vary according to the quality of the material. 
3.  The detection range will be reduced if cracks and joints exist in the material. 

3. Mounting the Detector 

SC100 Seismic Vibration Detector can be mounted on any solid surface, of which the most common surfaces are: Steel, 
Stainless Steel, Hardened Steel and Concrete. 

3.1 Opening the Detector 

Before mounting the detector, separate the detector cover from the detector base first (by loosing the top screw, see 

Figure 1

).

3.2 Mounting on Steel 

When mounting the detector on a flat and smooth steel surface, both Drill Plan (see 

Figure 2

) and Detector Base can be used 

to mark the mounting holes. 

1.  Remove and clean paint from the mounting area. 
2.  Attach the detector base or drill plan on the mounting area, then mark the outline and center punch the detector 

mounting holes A, B and Test Transmitter SC113 mounting hole C.

Transmitter SC113 mounting hole C. 

 

Skip marking hole C if Test Transmitter 
SC113 is not used.

3.  Drill the detector mounting holes A, B (Ø 3.3mm and 

minimum 8 mm deep), and then thread the two holes 
with a M4 Tap (6mm at least). 

4.  Drill the Test Transmitter SC113 mounting hole C (Ø 

3.3mm and minimum 8 mm deep), and then thread 
the hole with a M4 Tap (6mm at least). 

5.  Remove the dill plan and all of the burrs. 

Notes:

 

 

Cool the tools with oil while drilling and threading. 

 

Skip step 4 if Test Transmitter SC113 is not used. 

6.  Attach Test Transmitter SC113 on the mounting area (at 

C) and then use the

 

M4

×

8mm screw to fix it. 

Note:

 Skip this step if Test Transmitter SC113 is not used.

7.  Attach the detector base on the steel surface and 

then use the two M4

×

8mm screws provided to fix it. 

 

 

8.  Wire and configure the detector (see 

“4. Wirings and 

Settings”

), and then use the top screw to fix the detector 

cover properly.

3.3 Mounting on Stainless Steel or Hardened Steel 

When mounting on stainless steel or hardened steel, Mounting Plate SC110 (

UPSIDE DOWN

, see 

Figure 4

) must be used 

and should be welded on the mounting surface first.

1.  Remove paint from the mounting area 

(especially welding area). 

2. Attach Mounting Plate SC110 on the mounting 

area, and then mark the outline. 

 

3. Fix Mounting Plate SC110 into the outline marked and ensure it 

cannot move, and then along the

 INSIDE 

of the welding slots 

weld Mounting Plate SC110 on the mounting surface. 

Note:

 The welding must be done along the

 INSIDE

 of the welding 

slots, otherwise Mounting Plate SC110 can be deformed. 

 

 

4.  Tap off slag and remove weld spatter and make sure the whole mounting surface is still flat. 

5. Attach Test Transmitter SC113 on Mounting Plate SC110 (at C) and then use the M4

×

8mm screw to fix it. 

Note:

 Skip this step if Test Transmitter SC113 is not used.

6.  Attach the detector base on Mounting Plate

 and then use the two M4

×

8mm screws 

provided to fix it. 

 

7.  Wire and configure the detector (see 

“4. Wirings and 

Settings”

), and then use the top screw to fix the detector cover 

properly. 

 

 

3.4 Mounting on Concrete 

When mounting on concrete, Mounting Plate SC110 (

UPSIDE

, see 

Figure3

) must be used. 

Note:

 Mounting directly on a bare or plastered concrete surface may result in low detection sensitivity and cause damage to 

the detector.  

1. Attach Mounting Plate SC110 on the mounting area and 

then mark the outline and center hole E. 

2.  Drill the center hole E of Ø 10mm and minimum 65mm 

deep, and then remove all drill residuals and plaster. 

 
 

E

 

 

3.  Insert M6 anchor into hole E and make sure the end 

of the anchor can reach but not protrude the concrete 
surface. 

Note:

 Use a longer M6 anchor or a distance sleeve 

between Mounting Plate SC110 and the anchor if the M6 
anchor cannot reach the solid concrete. 
4. Attach Mounting Plate SC110 into the outline marked, 

and then through the center hole insert M6

×

50mm 

screw into M6 anchor in the wall.

 

5. Tighten M6

×

50mm screw but do not fix Mounting 

Plate SC110

 on the concrete surface, and make sure 

Mounting Plate SC110

 does not expand either.

 

Note:

 Mounting Plate SC110 can be rotated here.

 

 

Note:

 Skip step 6 to step 11 if Test Transmitter SC113 is not used. 

6.  Rotate clockwise 180

˚

 and mark hole C. 

7. Rotate Mounting Plate SC110 anticlockwise until the 

marked hole C can be seen through hole D. 

Note:

 Tighten the center screw slightly to stabilize Mounting 

Plate SC110 at this step. 
8.  Through hole D drill a hole of Ø 5.5 mm and minimum 

25mm deep and then remove all residuals.

9. Release and turn Mounting Plate SC110 to the original 

orientation (see the figure below). 

10. Insert M4 anchor into the drilled hole and make sure 

the end of the anchor cannot protrude the concrete 
surface. 

11. Attach  Test Transmitter SC113 on M4 anchor, and then 

use M4

×

14mm screw to fix it permanently. 

 

 

 

12. Tighten  M6

50mm screw (and knock on the screw head with a hammer when needed) until Mounting Plate SC110 is 

fixed on the concrete surface and cannot be rotated.
