The AVD-100 wireless vibration detector and magnetic contact is designed for operation
within the ABAX two-way wireless system. It is supported by the ACU-100 controller with
firmware in version 1.06 or later.
Owing to its advanced features of piezoelectric sensor signal processing, the vibration
detector can distinguish between the natural vibrations received from the environment, and
those caused by an attempt to force the door or window. The sensor signal is analyzed in
respect of its amplitude, duration and number of vibrations. The detector sensitivity and the
number of vibrations after which violation will be reported, are defined remotely.
The magnetic detector will signal violation after the magnet is
moved away from the reed switch, which means breaking the
electric circuit. Two reed switches are used in the detector and
you can program by radio which of them is to be active.
The AVD-100 detector occupies 2 positions on the list of
controller supported devices.
Explanations for Fig. 1:
1 - screen.
2 - piezoelectric sensor.
3 - LED indicator. It lights red in the test mode only, indicating
communication with the controller (during polling), violations
(on registering vibrations by the vibration detector or after
the magnet is moved away from the reed switch) and
tampers.
4 - tamper contact, which responds to opening of the housing
and pull-off from the surface.
5 - CR123A 3 V lithium battery, ensuring operation for approx. 3-
year period. The detector controls the battery status. When
the voltage drops to 2.6 V, the "low battery" information is sent
to the controller. The low battery signaling continues until the
battery is replaced.
6 - side reed switch.
7 - lower reed switch.
1. Installation
The detector is designed for indoor installation.
Before you mount the detector permanently, check the level of signal received
from the detector by the ACU-100 controller and, if necessary, change the place
of installation so that the location is optimal in terms of communication.
Install the battery inside the detector just before registering it in the controller. If
unregistered or having no communication with the controller, the detector will
consume more energy, which will reduce the battery life.
Be particularly careful when installing or replacing the battery, so as not to
damage the reed switches on the electronics board.
