Scafell manufactures a range of other products that are used to enhance the effectiveness of security systems and/or to provide the ease of interfacing various security system components.
The TLM is a tamper and vandal-proof unit that houses a telephone line monitor, a 30W siren and a 7Ah SLA battery and has a keyswitch with indicators for monitoring and control purposes.
The TLM is normally hidden away in the ceiling void. It monitors the PSTN line that is connected to the alarm panel and should the PSTN line fail for longer than a preset time, the powerful 30W siren is sounded.
The TLM enclosure has several tamper switches. Any attempt to move, tamper with or open the TLM enclosure will cause the siren to sound.
The TLM has the following features:
Absonic is a unique system that provides protection against attacks on vaults, safes and ATMs using angle grinders
The Absonic system is connected to the Mains supply of the premises using a standard plug in a wall socket.
The system ´listens´ for the sounds that are generated by an angle grinder´s abrasive disc when it cuts through steel. When these specific frequencies are detected the system causes the mains electrical supply to trip, thus effective denying power to the angle grinder.
If the power is turned back on, the process is simply repeated should an attempt be made to use the angle grinder again.
There are occasions when there are not enough inputs on an alarm panel to cater for the number of detectors required. Connecting detectors in series/parallel is very bad practice as detector supervision is lost, compromising security.
A solution to this is to wire detectors to an Alarm Combiner unit. These units monitor detector inputs, retaining full supervision, and provide a single alarm output for connection to the alarm panel, this output signaling the highest priority status on any of the inputs.
Alarm Combiners are available in 4, 8 and 16 inputs
Scafell manufactures and services the full range of Alarm Fencing Central Control units. This includes that NLP system that is used to provide perimeter protection at hundreds of National Key Point sites
ALTCOM is an alternative communication system that transmits alarms and events across the GSM network should the PSTN line to an alarm panel fail.
Besides this functionality, the ALTCOM panel also has 16 inputs and 4 outputs for any other applications that may be required.
Scafell´s AVS Anti Vandal System is a stand-alone system that monitors vandalism on dry walls and fascias, using shock sensors. Should attacks be detected, the unit will signal an alarm condition to the alarm panel for reaction to be summoned.
With the frequency and duration of power failures on the increase, the standby battery capacity of electronic equipment needs to increase.
Battex provides a solution to extend the standby battery capacity of existing installed equipment quickly and cost effectively.
Where 7Ah batteries are currently being used, the Battex Auxiliary Battery System extends the operating time of the system up to 3½ times longer.
The Clam is a device that functions as an intrusion detector
The Clam sensor is a continuity device with thin embedded wires laminated inside plastic sheets and end-of-line resistors are included internal to the laminated sheet enabling detector supervision. Several separate circuits can be created, resulting in a detector that has detection zones that are unknown to anyone.
The Clam sensors operate on a continuity basis – as long as continuity of the internal circuits is maintained then the device is normal. Should any of the continuity circuits be disturbed or become discontinuous, an alarm state is created. Being a continuity detector, absolutely no false or unwanted alarms are generated by the detector
Clam sensors are affixed the sides of the ATMs/Safes/Safety Deposit Boxes/Doors etc. covering the most vulnerable areas of attack. Should the sensor be cut or if an attempt is made to remove it from the surface that it is attached to, an alarm condition will be raised.
Clam sensors can be made virtually any shape, size or colour.
When alarms are received from remote premises reaction forces are often tasked to respond. They arrive on the scene but have no means of entering the premises if the key-holders are not present.
A visual inspection is invariably done to trace forced or other entry. If there are no other methods of alarm verification and if nothing is seen a false alarm is presumed and they leave the scene.
However, often the intruders are inside the premises, hiding, having gained access covertly (through the roof, behind fascias etc.).
Now being left on their own the intruders inflict losses, these being the cutting open of safes and vaults, theft of money and other valuables, damage to property and consequential losses due to the disruption of services, loss of confidence by clients etc.
Because of these losses many security Standard Operating Procedures instruct that when an unverifiable alarm occurs entry into the premises must be gained and the inside inspected. Entry is then forced – breaking/kicking down doors, breaking windows etc.
The concept of this product, KeySafe, is that the keys for the entry door to the premises are housed in a hardened key safe mounted securely to or through a wall or partition, close to the entry door.
KeySafe is unlocked by transmitting an "Unlock" message from the Security Control Centre (or any other approved source) to the KeySafe system.
KeySafe unlocks, the keys are removed and used to unlock the entry door to the premises.
At the end of the incident the keys are returned to and locked in KeySafe.
It would be nonsensical to attack KeySafe to get the keys to unlock the door to the premises. The time and effort spent getting the keys out of KeySafe is much greater than it would be to simply use the same tools to attack a door, window or somewhere else of the premises to gain access.
Should KeySafe be attacked an alarm is immediately be sent to the Security Control Centre.
To maintain high security, the KeySafe system does not disarm the premises alarm system.
The MultiComms system was developed to allow for all supported versions of Cosmos and APX panels to communicate alarms and events across an IT network.
The system is comprised for the following
MultiComms substantially reduces that costs of communication whilst improving security dramatically.
All panels operating on MultiComms are polled every minute and all alarms and events are reported immediately.
In a typical MultiComms arrangement, primary alarm/event communication is via Network. Should this fail the communication is via PSTN and should that fail signals are routed via a GSM network
In some security systems hundreds of unwanted alarms are generated by Users that do not operate the system correctly
The reasons for this are many and complex, amongst these being:
Under normal circumstances security systems are controlled via alphanumeric keyboards. NuWay provides an alternative way for the Users to control the arming and disarming of their security alarm panels.
User PIN numbers are replaced by electronic tags and messages on the keyboard are replaced by unambiguous symbols and lights.
At various locations in the branch the status of the system is indicated by lit symbols and, in some cases buzzers/sounders are activated, warning the Users that the system is not disarmed.
Because NuWay demystifies the control of the security system and makes it simple to operate the system has been accepted widely by Users, without reservations.
False and unwanted alarms have been eliminated, the Users use the system without any fears and security has been enhanced.
The features and operation of our Striker Pepper Gas system has proven to be stable and reliable. There are times, however, when the use of smoke instead of pepper gas would be more desirable.
To enable the smoke generators to operate similarly Striker we developed a Smoke Generator Control unit which, instead of spraying pepper gas, controls a smoke generator.
