Introduction to the GM550EUL Seismic Detector
This document provides essential guidelines for the installation and operation of the Caddx GM550EUL seismic detector, particularly when used with night deposit safes, ATMs, and burglar-resistant steel safes.
Seismic Detector Requirements
The GM550EUL seismic detector must meet specific requirements based on safe volume and construction material to ensure optimal performance and UL compliance. These requirements dictate the minimum steel thickness for the safe's body and door, as well as the maximum allowable linear surface inches from the detector to any point on the safe.
- For Steel Safes: Requirements vary based on safe volume (12ft³, 29ft³, 39ft³) and steel thickness (1/4", 1/2", 1").
- For Composite Safes: Specific guidelines are provided for UL-listed burglary-resistant composite safes up to 42ft³ volume.
- Sensitivity settings (e.g., C or D at 100% or 200% response time) are also specified.
Typical UL Mercantile Safe Installation (UL681)
The document details the typical installation process for mercantile safes according to UL681 standards, emphasizing:
- Power supply requirements (minimum 4-72 hours standby power).
- Use of UL-listed safe contacts, such as the Caddx GM100-17 high-security magnetic contact.
- Cable protection using rigid conduit, EMT, or electrically protected cable.
- Fire-resistant safe construction requirements (minimum steel thickness).
Testing Procedures:
- Simulating an attack signal by scratching or hitting the safe.
- Using the GMXS1 test transmitter to activate the detector.
- Verifying alarm activation through control panel zone indications.
