- Paradox 950-P2C Safe Protector - Vibration & Shock Detector Paradox 950-P2C Safe Protector - Vibration & Shock Detector
- Description
The Paradox 950-P2C Safe Protector is a high-precision piezo-electric vibration and shock detector engineered to safeguard high-security assets such as safes, vaults, automated teller machines (ATMs), night deposit boxes, and reinforced perimeter walls. Designed to detect physical break-in attempts before perimeter penetration occurs, it senses structural vibrations caused by heavy mechanical impacts, drilling, cutting, sledgehammers, and thermal cutting tools while intelligently filtering out ambient environmental noise to eliminate false alarms.
Equipped with an advanced piezo-electric sensing element and adjustable sensitivity controls, the 950-P2C allows installers to fine-tune shock detection based on surface density and material type (steel, concrete, or brick). It features built-in dual tamper protection (detecting both cover removal and wall/surface detachment) and operates with a normally closed (N.C.) alarm output, making it fully compatible with Paradox control panels (EVO, Spectra SP, Magellan) as well as any standard hardwired third-party security system.
Key System Features & Functionality
-
High-Sensitivity Piezo-Electric Sensor: Detects low-frequency structural vibrations generated by mechanical drilling, sawing, cutting, and heavy impact tools.
-
Adjustable Sensitivity & Accumulation: Features wide-range potentiometer adjustment to customize sensitivity based on structural material (concrete, steel, brick, or glass).
-
Advanced Signal Processing: Intelligently distinguishes between actual physical intrusion attempts and non-threatening ambient vibrations or building movement.
-
Dual Tamper Sabotage Protection: Integrated cover and wall/surface removal tamper switches trigger immediate alarm reports upon unauthorized tampering or removal.
-
Universal Hardwired Compatibility: Normally Closed (N.C.) dry contact relay output connects seamlessly to any hardwired alarm panel or zone expansion module.
-
Compact High-Impact Housing: Compact, durable enclosure designed for surface mounting directly onto vault doors, safe walls, window frames, or concrete surfaces.
