1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Advisor X Structural Vibration Detection System is a seis-

mic detection system designed to detect attempts to break into

vaults, safes, night deposit safes, automatic cash dispenser

units and other reinforced physical areas such as data storage

and filing cabinets.

To achieve this high level of accuracy, the system analyzes

three major parameters-signal strength, signal frequencies, and

signal duration-before triggering an alarm. These parameters

differentiate real break-in attempts from nuisance signals. In

general, the signal characteristics of a true break-in

attempt include:

• Explosives: generate a signal with a very high amplitude and

a short duration.

• Mechanical Destruction (hammer and chisel): generates

signals with a rather high amplitude and a short intermittent sig-

nal duration.

• Rotating Devices: generate signals with a moderate to high

amplitude and a long signal duration.

• Thermal Devices: generate signals with low amplitude and a

long signal duration.

2.0 PLANNING INSTALLATION

2.1 What to Avoid

Although the Advisor X System is designed to provide a high

level of immunity against nuisance alarms, some precautions

should be considered when planning an installation. Do not

install detectors close to electric motors, transformers, fans, air

conditioners or other electrical devices that create mechanical

vibrations in the protected structure. Avoid mechanical contact

between electrical devices and the surface of the protected

structure, or dampen the vibrations by using rubber-like insulat-

ing materials.

Water Piping

The flow of water through piping in mechanical contact with the

protected structure emits a strong signal in the structure itself

and may cause nuisance alarms.

Ultrasonic Detectors

Ultrasonic detectors may emit a signal that is within the fre-

quency range of the Advisor X detectors. Avoid placing ultra-

sonic detectors closer than six feet to the protected surface.

Bells

Bells may generate overtones in the frequency range of the

Advisor X detectors. Place a piece of tape on the bell to sup-

press the overtones, drill a hole in the gong, or relocate the bell

to remove the hazard.

2.2 Planning Vault Protection

Generally, it is advisable to place one detector on each

wall, floor, and ceiling inside the vault and one detector on

or inside the vault door. See the following section on detec-

tion range and sensitivity test. The detectors can be mounted

with the Mounting Plate (supplied), the DV1212 Steel Surface

Mounting Plate recess mounted with the DV1203 Recessed

Mounting Plate. Mount the detectors at a height of at least six

feet (1.8m) to avoid interference from document cabinets and

deposit boxes.

FIGURE 1 - DETECTOR PLACEMENT

Special consideration must be given to installations in which a

UL certificate (UL 681) is to be awarded. This includes, but is

not limited to, power supply requirements, system test needs,

and protection of interconnection cable.

Since the vault door is isolated from the walls by its hinges,

have one detector inside the vault door. Newer vault doors nor-

mally have cable channels inside the hinges to provide easy

connection of the sensor.

An optional means of protecting the vault doorway is to mount

a detector on the outside of the door. This provides protection

against torch-cutting and thermic bar attack at an early stage,

since the vault door acts as a membrane and detects the signal

even before the surface attack has started. The detector can be

mounted directly on the surface or with a DV1202 or DV1203

mounting plate. See mounting instructions, Section 3.0.

The DV1219 Armed Cable Kit and the DV1228 Metal Junction

Box allows cabling from the door to the door frame on the hinge

side with armored cable. Be careful when drilling into the vault

door. Sometimes there is a printed circuit board drill protection

behind the outer steel plate. (Consult the vault door manu-

facturer for details.)

.0 INTRODUCTION The Advisor X Structural Vibration Detection System is a seismic detection system designed to detect attempts to break into vaults, safes, night deposit safes, automatic cash dispenser units and other reinforced physical areas such as data storage and filing cabinets.

.3 The Vault Sensitivity Test for Irregularities 4. Set the sensor sensitivity to MAX. If the surface of the vault or safe shows cracks, gaps or has other irregularities, perform a test to determine if the protection range of each sensor is affected. Additional sensors may be required for optimal coverage. This test is not necessary when sensors are mounted on a steel surface.

• Don’t install sensors close to bells, buzzers, or telephones unless gong(s) or hammer(s) can be taped to deaden sounds. FIGURE 2 - STRUCTURAL VIBRATION DETECTOR • Don’t mount sensors on rough surfaces. Smooth all surfaces. • Don’t allow test signal transmitter to make contact with mounting plate or sensor on masonry installation. • Don’t use rigid conduit inside vault except where specified, e.g. run wiring to door contacts and heat detectors in conduit.

FIGURE 4 - MOUNTING DETECTOR ON A STEEL SURFACE 2. Using the felt pen and the mounting plate as a template, mark the location of the three threaded holes (see holes marked “V” in figure 9). 3. Drill three holes, using a #29 drill, at least 7/16” deep (see drawing) in the three positions marked. 4. After drilling the holes, tap them with a 8-32 tap, using a little cutting oil to lubricate the tap. After tapping the holes, use a 7/16” diam. drill to smooth the surface around the hole and to remove burrs. 3.

4. Insert the expansion plug into the hole just drilled and make sure that the top end of the plug does not protrude from the wall. Align the mounting plate over the hole and use a bolt to secure the mounting plate to the wall. If no test transmitter is used, go to step #10. 5. Before tightening the bolt, twist the mounting plate to position the DV1215 drill pattern hole (see drawing in Section 3.2) where the cable is to be routed (in most cases, at the bottom).

FIGURE 8 - TESTING THE DETECTORS 1. Carefully remove approximately six inches of the PVC jacket. The outside protective shield detaches with the PVC jacket, leaving the drain wire loose. 2. To isolate this drain wire from the inside protective shield, slide a five-inch piece of wire insulator over the exposed drain wire. Then wrap a layer of electrical tape around the now-insulated drain wire and the remaining wires at the point where the PVC jacket is cut. See drawing below.

6.0 THE ADVISOR X TEST SYSTEM transducer converts the supplied oscillations into signals which are transmitted into the protected surface and picked up by the detector. The detector goes into alarm and its LED output (Terminal 3) goes out of conductive mode. In the indicator unit, a corresponding LED is activated. The LED remains on as long as the sensor is in alarm. 6.1 General Description The structural vibration detectors in the Advisor X System can be checked with the Remote Test System.
