Alarmtech Sweden AB is a European manufacturer with over 30 years’ experience designing and producing dependable security components for professional intruder alarm, access control and life-safety systems.
High-Quality Detection & Peripheral Security Products
Founded on Swedish design principles and a commitment to long-term reliability, Alarmtech specialises in magnetic contacts, glass break detectors, vibration and seismic sensors, power supply units, and installation peripherals used across intruder alarm, access control and life-safety applications.
All products are developed in close cooperation with leading installers and distributors, ensuring they perform reliably in real-world environments while remaining simple to specify and install. Premium materials are used throughout, with every device engineered for extended service life, consistent detection performance, and minimal maintenance.
Alarmtech operates its own modern manufacturing facility in Poland, supported by sheet-metal production in Sweden. The factory is certified to EN ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards, as well as NATO requirements, giving full control over quality, traceability and production processes.
With stock held in a dedicated 1,000 m² warehouse and products supplied to over 20 countries, Alarmtech delivers dependable European-built security hardware trusted by installers worldwide.
Their guiding principle is simple: Quality is the keyword.
Engineered for Performance. Designed for Installers
Alarmtech products are purpose-built for modern security applications where reliability and ease of deployment matter. Using premium materials and rigorous production controls, each device is designed to deliver:
- Long operational life expectancy
- Excellent reliability in real installations
- Clean, installer-friendly design
- Compliance with recognised European standards
Most of their range of products carry approvals such as EN, VdS, F&P and INCERT, helping specifiers meet both regulatory and insurance requirements.
Enhanced Glass Protection
Glass is often the weakest point in any security installation. Windows, doors, shopfronts and display cabinets all present vulnerable entry points, making effective glass monitoring essential for early intrusion detection.
Alarmtech provides specialised glass break detection solutions designed to protect standard float glass, tempered glass and laminated glass across commercial, residential and high-security environments.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, Alarmtech supplies both glued and acoustic glass break detectors, allowing installers to choose the most appropriate method for each application.
Compliance & Approvals (Glass Detection)
- EN Grade 2 and EN Grade 3 certified
- VdS, INCERT and additional European approvals
Glued Glass Break Detectors
These detectors are bonded directly to individual panes of glass and detect the vibration bulk wave generated when glass shatters. Each pane requires its own detector, making this approach ideal for precise, pane-specific protection.
Key characteristics include:
- Suitable for standard, tempered and laminated glass
- Immune to ambient room noise
- Designed for continuous 24-hour perimeter protection
- Easy installation with no ongoing maintenance
- Coverage radius of approximately 2 metres per pane
- Compatible with security film when mounted directly to glass
Alarmtech offers two glued detector series:
- GD 300 series – for float and tempered glass
- GD 400 series – for all glass types
These detectors use piezoelectric sensing elements and high-frequency signal analysis to distinguish genuine glass break events from environmental disturbances, ensuring dependable operation even in noisy locations.
Acoustic Glass Break Detectors
Acoustic detectors monitor the characteristic sound signature produced when glass breaks. A single detector can protect multiple panes within a room, making this solution ideal for open-plan areas or rooms with several windows.
Alarmtech’s acoustic detectors use advanced digital signal processing and microprocessor technology to replicate how the human brain evaluates sound patterns. Their proprietary Digital Room Compensation (DRC) adapts detection performance to different room acoustics, furniture layouts and surface materials, dramatically reducing false alarms.
Key features include:
- Monitoring of multiple windows from one detector
- Detection range typically between 1–9 metres
- Compatibility with standard, tempered and laminated glass
- High immunity to interference
- Optional anti-mask protection for high-security installations
Available models:
- AD 800 – acoustic detector for all glass types
- AD 800-AM – includes anti-mask functionality
Acoustic detectors are typically mounted on walls or ceilings opposite the protected glazing.
Vibration & Seismic Detection – Secure Every Surface
Beyond glass, effective perimeter protection requires early detection on doors, walls, roofs and structural surfaces. Alarmtech offers a comprehensive range of vibration-based detectors designed to identify intrusion attempts before entry is achieved.
These solutions are divided into two core categories:
Shock Detectors
Shock detectors are designed for softer materials and constructions with multiple joints, such as:
- Door and window frames
- Sliding doors
- Partition walls
They are optimised for lower-frequency vibrations typically generated by blunt-force attacks.
Alarmtech shock detectors incorporate digital signal processing with three independent detection channels, allowing them to analyse vibration amplitude, frequency and duration while filtering out background disturbances such as building activity or external traffic.
Available models include:
- CD 550 Shock Detector
- CD 475 Shock & Vibration Detector (transistor output, EN Grade 3)
- CD 470 Shock & Vibration Detector (relay output, EN Grade 3)
Sensitivity and operating parameters are configured via DIP switches, giving installers precise control during commissioning.
Seismic Detectors
Seismic detectors are engineered for harder materials with fewer joints, where intrusion is more likely to involve sophisticated tools.
Typical applications include:
- Safes and filing cabinets
- ATMs
- Steel doors and panels
- Concrete and brick walls
- Firearms cabinets
These detectors require longer detection times and offer increased resistance to false alarms, making them ideal for high-security environments.
Alarmtech seismic detectors feature advanced DSP algorithms with multiple detection channels to identify weak, sustained vibrations as well as strong, short-duration impacts.
The VD 500 seismic detector additionally incorporates:
- Integrated temperature sensing
- Tamper protection
- Remote self-test capability
Available seismic models:
- VD 400 Seismic Detector
- VD 500 Seismic Detector (VdS Class C approved)
Correct mounting is essential for performance, with Alarmtech recommending dedicated mounting plates on masonry surfaces to maximise signal capture.
Quality Without Compromise
Alarmtech operates under a Total Quality Management framework, with multi-stage testing carried out on every component throughout production. Statistical sampling and final inspection ensure consistent performance, while ISO-certified traceability allows every product to be tracked from component to completion.
Most products are certified by SBSC, with additional approvals including EN, VdS, FG, F&P, INCERT and CNPP for international markets.
