ABSTRACT:
An acoustic emission burglary detection system for detecting physical attacks made on a protected structure such as a vault, safe or the like. Sensors (13, 14) mounted on the protected structure detect acoustic emission stress wave signals produced by an attack and provide an event signal of a corresponding frequency and with an amplitude and duration dependent upon those of the stress wave signals. Event signals exhibiting a frequency less than 50,000 Hz are much less likely to have been originated by a physical attack upon the protected structure and are filtered out. The remaining event signals which exceed a predetermined level are integrated over a predetermined time period. If the resulting value exceeds a predetermined level an alarm is activated. Means are provided for testing the detection circuit by providing electrical pulses through one of the sensors to cause it to generate mechanical stress wave signals in the protected structure which can be detected and processed by the detection circuitry.
