The shock sensor is used on doors or windows or any surface that needs to be protected from shocks, prising open or forcing.
The sensor can be adjusted for sensitivity to detect either a single blow or a series of smaller very gentle blows. This sensor is also used as an open/close detector. Available in brown or white.
The Interlogix International Shock Sensor has the following three main functions:
- To detect the vibrations made by an intruder trying to break a window or door.
- To detect a window or door opening.
- To detect tamper situations, such as an intruder removing the sensor cover
Vibrations cause a momentary open circuit in the shock element of the sensor. The circuit closes again when the vibration stops. The sensor microcontroller “sees” the open/close action as a pulse, causing the sensor to transmit an alarm signal. The sensor has two different detection modes:
- Gross Attack – detect a violent blow sufficient in length to trip sensor.
- Pulse Count – detect a sufficient number of less violent blows (rapping and tapping).
The sensor includes an internal magnetic reed switch that must be disabled if it is not used. A cover tamper provides additional security if an intruder tries to disable or damage the sensor.
