Alarmtech VD 500-Z1: Grade 3 Seismic Detector with Armoured Cable and Junction Box

Full Description

High-Security Seismic Detection with Integrated Armoured Protection

The Alarmtech VD 500-Z1 is a professional-grade seismic detector designed to protect high-value assets like ATMs, safes, and firearm cabinets from sophisticated intrusion attempts. This comprehensive kit includes the VD 500 detector, a stainless steel flexi-tube (MC T4), and a JB 50 junction box, providing a complete, ready-to-install security solution. Utilising advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP), the VD 500-Z1 effectively identifies the unique vibrations caused by explosives and mechanical tools, including diamond drills and thermal cutting equipment, while maintaining a high immunity to environmental noise.

Key Features of the Alarmtech VD 500-Z1:

• Triple-Channel Detection: The system monitors three distinct channels to ensure no threat goes unnoticed:
  • Integration Channel: Detects weak, persistent signals.
  • Count Channel: Tracks up to four distinct events.
  • Explosion Channel: Instantly detects high-intensity, short-duration signals.
• Advanced DSP Technology: Features a digital algorithm that provides superior detection performance while filtering out false alarms caused by ambient vibrations.
• Environmental Monitoring: Equipped with an integrated temperature sensor that triggers an alarm if the temperature reaches 75°C or rises at a rate of 6°C per minute, protecting against thermal lances and fire.
• Armoured Protection: The “Z1” kit specifically includes stainless steel armoured cabling (MC T4) and a JB 50 junction box, ensuring the wiring is as secure as the detector itself.
• Tamper & Self-Test: Includes comprehensive tamper protection against opening or prying the housing, along with a separate input for a self-test generator to verify operational status remotely.
• Precision Sensitivity: Settings for sensitivity and the specific object type (steel or concrete) are easily selected via an internal DIP switch.
