Overview of the Detector
Seismic Vibration Detector SC100 is a universal seismic or structural vibration detector designed
to detect selected vibrations from burglary or intrusion attempts on high value storage units, such
as Vaults, Doors, ATMs, Safes and other solid structures.
The detector consists of a sensor element to convert mechanical vibrations to electrical signals, a
signal conditional block, micro controller block, output alarm block, tamper protection, and a
switching block for selecting detector settings, all in a miniature metal housing.

Applications
Seismic Vibration Detector SC100 is designed to detect any known attack tool on:
Vaults (Vault Doors, Strong Room Vaults, Modular Vaults)
ATMs
Night Deposit Safes
Free
Standing
Safes
Gates
Hatches
Chests
Other objects with a solid structure
According to the vibration characteristics of the application constructions, sensitivity required in
each sensor, and the natural vibrations and ambient noise level in the premises, the detection
ranges of Detector SC100 should follow the parameters in the table below.
