TO THE INSTALLER
Before planning and installing Seismic Vibration Detector SC100, the circumstances below should
be avoided:
Electrical Devices
Water piping
Do not apply the detectors close to electrical
devices (such as electric motors, transformers,
fans, air conditioners and so on), which may
create mechanical vibrations in the protected
structure.
Avoid mechanical contact between such
devices and the protected surface, or using
appropriate insulating materials to reduce the
vibrations.
Do not apply the detectors close to water
piping.
The flow of water through piping, when in
mechanical contact with the protected
structure, emits a strong signal in the
structure itself, which may cause nuisance
alarms.
Bells
Human activity
Do not apply the detectors close to the bells;
Or apply a piece of tape on the bell to suppress
the overtones generated in the frequency range
of the detectors.
Apply carpet or vibration damping material
on vaults and under safes placed on
concrete or marble floors.
Regular maintenance and inspection (at least annually) by the installer and frequent testing by the
user are vital to continuous satisfactory operation of any product.
The installer should assume the responsibility of developing and offering a regular maintenance
program to the user, as well as acquainting the user with the proper operation and limitations of
the product and its component parts. Recommendations must be included for a specific program
of frequent testing to insure the product’s operation at all times.

Introduction
2 Introduction
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.

Function Description
3 Function Description
Function Criteria
Detection Parameters
The detection function of Seismic Vibration Detector SC100 is based on the structural vibrations
generated on the protected surfaces upon an attempt to break through the physical barriers.
Vibrations detected comprise four important parameters:
signal strength (amplitude)
signal frequency (spectra)
signal duration
structure of duration
These parameters differ between real attacks and "normal" background vibrations and will be
detected and analyzed by the detector before an alarm is triggered. The characteristics below
represent signals that can be detected by Detector SC100:
Signals with very high amplitude and short duration, which can be generated by explosives.
Signals with medium to high amplitude and medium to long or intermittent duration, which
can be generated by mechanical demolition tools.
Signals with wide frequency spectra, low amplitude and long duration, which can be
generated by thermal attacks.
Alarm Criteria
In Detector SC100, the signals detected will be analysed by several parallel software detection
modes with specific algorithms for detection of known attack methods and tools, which can be
described as below:
The low level detection mode is designed to recognize low to medium amplitude signals
with long duration, like those caused by a thermic lance, oxy-arc or acetylene torch.
The medium level detection mode is designed to detect medium to high amplitude and
medium to long or intermittent duration signals as caused by mechanical demolition, such
as hydraulic jack, hammer, chisel and electric power tools.
The high level detection mode is designed to detect very high amplitude and short
duration signals as caused by explosives.
The signal from the sensor is fed to the signal conditioning block and further to the micro
controller for evaluation. An alarm signal will be sent to the output alarm block when a criteria with
signal strength, frequency spectra and signal duration is achieved.
Function Modules
Sensor Element
Seismic Vibration Detector SC100 includes a sensor element that converts mechanical vibrations
into electrical signals providing a non resonant flat frequency response for genuine signal analysis,
which is used for detection of structural vibrations caused by attacks against the protected
surface. These signals will be analyzed in different software detection modes.
Signal Conditional Block
The electrical signal that sensor converted is fed to the signal conditional block that adapts the
signal for further analysis. It also contains circuits for supply voltage and temperature supervision
(see Alarm Criteria on page 4). This block also generates test signals for the Test Transmitter
SC113.

Honeywell
- 5 -
Switch Block
This block contains the DIP switches for sensitivity settings, application settings and the noise
LED settings, further communicating with the micro controller and signal conditional blocks.
Micro Controller Block
This block is the heart of Detector SC100. It handles functions for signal analysis and recognition,
circuit supervision of power supply and temperature, noise recognition and indication, test and
sensitivity reduction etc.
It also contains a watchdog function which is used to detect system lockups and create an alarm
signal to the output alarm block. This block contains nano watt technology and the software code
stored in a flash program memory with code protection.
Output Alarm Block
The circuits in the output alarm block will be activated by the micro controller block when intrusion
attack signals are recognized. The alarm output provides two forms of alarm signals:
One potential free solid state SPDT change over relay.
One open collector transistor output, going into conductive mode upon alarm condition.
The transistor is protected against overload with a series resistor of 1.38k ohm.
Note No protection against sabotage attempts with external magnetic fields is needed due to solid
state alarm relay.
Power Supply Block
The input circuits are very well protected against electrical interference and high energy electrical
surges by filtering, transient absorber and spark gaps. The small mechanical dimensions, circuit
board layout and design, results in very good resistance against RFI from various transceivers,
cellphones and so on. Detector SC100 has a vide supply voltage range from 8 to 16 VDC due to
the low internal system voltage of 5 Volt.
Sabotage Protection
Seismic Vibration Detector SC100 has a full range of tamper protection facilities, thus an alarm
will be given when an attempt is made to:
Pry off the detector from the protected surface
Open the detector
Disable the detector by heat
Lower the supply voltage below 6.5V
The detector is equipped as standard with a stainless steel drill shield that makes it difficult to drill
into the detector and at the same time generates strong vibrations.

5 Planning Protections
Before mounting the detector, it is recommended to plan the mounting locations to achieve an
extremely high security level.
In general, the detectors should be mounted at the center of the detection range (see Table 2-1
Application Settings on page 2.) or on the positions where most of the attacks are aimed at.
Caution Please read TO THE INSTALLER first before planning protections.
Vaults
For vaults, including vault doors, strong room vaults and modular vaults, we recommend
mounting detectors:
On each wall
On the floor
On the ceiling inside the vault
On or inside the vault door
Figure 5-1 Planning Vaults Protection
The Mounting Plate SC110, the Recess Mounting Box SC116 and the Floor Mounting Box SC117
can be used to mount the detectors in the vaults. It is recommend mounting detectors at least
about 1,80m high to keep clear from lockers.
The sensitivity of the detectors can be set to Ghigh or Gnormal according to actual applications.
Layout Plan
Layout Plan is used to help define the location of detectors mounted in the vaults. It is
recommended to prepare a layout plan before mounting the detectors according to the actual
construction. The figure below shows a sample for a vault with 7x5x3 meters.

Layout Plan for a Vault 7x5x3 meters
Planning Guidelines
The detection range will be reduced if joints or cracks exist in the vault, corners, between
walls and floor, and/or on the ceiling. In these cases apply detectors on both sides of
irregularity found.
The vault door can be protected by direct mounting a detector inside the door leaf or
outside the door. Here the Movable Mounting Kit SC111 or the Keyhole Protection Kit
SC112 can be used.
A detector can preferably be mounted on the door frame to protect the walls on either side
of the door and partly the vault door when installing the detectors in an existing vault.
Module Vaults must be bolted and welded together to get a reasonable detection range.
One maximum module (width is 1000mm and length is 6500mm) can be covered on the
other side of a welded corner.
Detector mounted on the centre of one module can cover 5 adjacent modules at most.
Figure 5-3 Detector mounted on the center of one modular vault
Detector mounted on welded mounting plate between two modules can cover 6 adjacent
modules at most.
Figure 5-4 Detector mounted between two modular vaults
Before reducing the sensitivity where noise level is high, the noise source should be
removed firstly.
Drill tests should be performed on the outside of the vault.
Note This guideline is typical recommendation for detector mounting and has always to be
followed up by practical sensitivity and noise check before the installation is taken in use.

ATMs and Night Deposit Safes
ATMs and Night deposit safes are objects exposed to human made noise as well as extensive
internal noise, therefore it is recommended that the application setting for ATMs should be Ghigh
(setting DIP switch 3 to OFF position).
For both ATM and night deposit safes we recommend mounting:
At least one detector on or inside the safe cabinet close to the dispenser opening.
One detector on the door close to or between the hinges or inside the door leaf.

Close to the dispenser opening
On or inside the door
Figure 5-6 Planning Night Safe Deposit Box Protection

Rubber Pad
Reduce the noise created by the falling
cash boxes when deposited.
The Movable Mounting Kit SC111 or the Keyhole Protection Kit SC112 and the Armored Cable
Kit SC114 can be used when mounting detectors on the safes.
Free Standing Safes
The signal propagation from an attack is often very poor between the door and the cabinet of a
safe, therefore we recommend mounting two detectors (inside or outside):
On the body
On the door
Detectors mounted inside
Inside of the safe, we recommend mounting detectors:
At the hinge side close to the upper hinge of the safe cabinet.

Planning Protections
Inside of the door leaf as close as possible to the lock mechanism or to the hinges.
The Armored Cable kit SC114 should be used when mounting detector on/in the door and
preferably also a magnetic contact should be added on the door. Cable outlet facilities are
normally provided in new safes. If not, mount the detectors on the outside.
Detectors mounted outside
Outside of the safe, we recommend mounting one detector:
On the side of the safe, close to the hinge
And the other detector can be mounted on the door in three different ways:
Close to the hinge, providing a short distance with the Armored Cable Kit SC114.
Close lose to the lock, mounted on the Keyhole Protection Kit SC112.
In such way that the cable prevents opening the door when the detector is on the night
position plate, mounted with the Movable Mounting Kit SC111.
Figure 5-7 Detectors mounted on the Outside of the Safe
Detectors are better protected when mounted inside, and detectors mounted outside will have a
deterring effect.
The Movable Mounting Kit SC111 and the Keyhole Protection Kit SC112 have the advantage of
forcing the staff to handle the alarm installation properly. It prevents the staff forgetting to remove
keys or properly closing the safe doors as well as blocking the keyhole from loading with
explosives.
Filing Cabinets
Our recommendation is to mount the detector as close as possible to the lock mechanism on one
side of the cabinet. The Movable Mounting Kit SC111 can also be mounted on a drawer that has
a higher security solution. See Figure 5-9 Planning Document Cabinet Protection for reference.
Figure 5-8 Planning Filing Cabinets Protection
Document Cabinets
For document cabinets we recommend to mount the detector inside or outside the top surface at
the front part close to or between where the door bolts is coming up.
Also here a Movable Mounting Kit SC111 of the detector on the door is possible where a high
security solution is requested.
