Intruder Grade Sub Systems
Systems can be split into sub-systems with different grades of equipment in area where the risk may be higher.
An example of this shown below would be a bank system, where the vault and ATM may be grade 4, but the bank reception area and teller area could be lower grades.
If a system is divided into sub-systems of different grades, then the CIE should be sited within the supervised area with the highest grade.
In grade 3 and 4 systems the CIE should remain protected at all times when setting any sub-system.
AM PIR Passive Infra Red Movement Detector, with Anti-mask capability
AM DT Dual Technology Movement Detector, with Anti-mask capability
VIB Vibration Detector
All equipment located in the bank reception area would need to be Grade 2 compliant.
All equipment located in the teller area would need to be Grade 3 compliant.
All equipment located in the vault and ATM room would need to be Grade 4 compliant.
