AP1113C

VIBRATION & IMPACT SENSOR - The AP1113C is a vibration and impact sensor typically used in security systems to detect attempted forced entry, such as glass breaking or physical attacks on walls and doors - Operating Voltage: Typically operates on a 12V DC power supply, common for security and alarm system peripherals.
Detection Method: Uses a piezoelectric sensor to convert mechanical energy (vibration or impact) into an electrical signal.
Sensitivity Adjustment: Most models in this series include an on-board potentiometer, allowing installers to calibrate the sensitivity to avoid false alarms from environmental noise like passing traffic.
Compact Design: These sensors are designed for easy mounting on flat surfaces such as window frames, door panels, or safe walls - Security Systems: Acts as a primary sensor for detecting drilling, sawing, or hammering on protected surfaces.
Industrial Monitoring: Can be used to detect abnormal vibrations in rotating machinery or equipment bearings.
Glass Break Detection: Often used as an alternative or supplement to acoustic glass break detectors for more localized sensing - Mounting: For optimal performance, the sensor should be mounted as close to the expected point of impact as possible.
Wiring: Typically follows a standard 2-wire or 4-wire configuration (power and alarm relay) for integration with alarm panels like those from DCS or PLC systems.
Testing: Functionality can be checked using a multimeter set to resistance mode to ensure continuity in the circuit upon impact.
