cutting torches, hydraulic pressure tools and thermal tools.
Detection area shall be between frequencies 6 KHz and 20 KHz. At the same time it allows

sense vibration that occur within a 14 meter radius of where it is mounted. A piezo-electric
sensor converts the seismic signal into an electric signal. This signal is then analyzed in
three independent signal-processing channels; each designed to sense a specific type of
signal.
Page 37 of 82
- The explosion channel compares the signal against a pre-set limit.
- The counting channel employs a true digital counter with time windows to
determine the number and frequency of signals.
- A frequency analyzing circuitry including integration channel responds to low
amplitude and long duration signals.
To achieve a high level of discrimination between real attacks and normal background
noise generated by human activities, three important parameters are analyzed before an
alarm is triggered:
- Signal strength (amplitude)

- Signal frequency
- Signal duration
