SAFE

PROTECTOR

(950)

INSTRUCTIONS

Application

The Paradox Safe Protector is designed 
for security applications on metallic 
cabinets, cash-boxes, safe and metallic 
doors. It can also be applied successfully 
to protect concrete walls of bank 
depositories and other premises requiring 
high security protection level.

The Paradox Safe Protector is installed 
directly on the protected surface and 
reacts to the frequency spectrum of 
vibrations caused by surface breaking, 
cutting, and heavy knocking by grinders, 
electric arc welders, and oxyacetylene 
torches. It also reacts to knocking, filing 
and drilling on the protected surface.

Since effective operation is contingent on 
close contact between the safe protector 
and the protected surface, this surface 
must be well cleaned prior to installation. 
The safe protector should then be tightly 
attached to the safeguarded surface with 
3 screws.

Installation

1. Remove center screw (

A

) on safe 

protector.

2. Find a clean, dry, flat surface (

B

) on which 

to mount the Paradox Safe Protector.

To reduce false alarms avoid 
installation near:

• Electric motors, 

transformers, fans, air 
conditioners in close 
proximity of the safe 
protector

• Ultrasonic safe protectors 

which may emit a signal 
within the frequency range of 
the safe protector

3. Install the 3 screws to mount the safe 

protector ensuring that the screws are 
driven in at a 120 degree angle.

4. Connect a 4 or 6-wire cable to the safe 

protector and connect it as follows (see 
Figure 2):

6. Re-install the cover on the safe 

protector.

7. Perform functional tests simulating a 

burglary signal in the supervised area. 
Example: lightly scratch the surface 
around the safe protector with a 
screwdriver or hit the surface near the 
safe protector.
