Potter Electric VSA-2K Vibration Shock Detector Kit

Product Description

The Potter Electric Signal Co. US VSA-2K is a vibration and shock detector kit that includes a VSM microphone and a VSA microphone annunciator. Designed for security and alarm system applications, this kit provides the hardware needed to detect physical disturbances such as forced entry attempts, glass breakage, or structural impacts. Licensed security system installers and fire alarm technicians typically deploy this equipment in commercial and residential perimeter protection scenarios. The kit ships as a single-unit assembly, reducing sourcing time when all components must be installed together.

The VSA-2K is suited for installations where vibration sensing must be paired with local annunciation. Typical applications include vault protection, safe rooms, storefronts, and secured utility rooms where shock-based intrusion detection is required. The microphone and annunciator components work in conjunction to sense and signal disturbances at the protected surface. This kit format is appropriate for new installations as well as service replacements where the full sensing assembly needs to be updated at once.

Installation Notes

Installation of vibration and shock detection equipment should be performed by a licensed security or fire alarm technician in accordance with applicable local codes and NFPA 72 guidelines. Power down and disarm the alarm system before removing or connecting any sensing components. Refer to the manufacturer product manual for mounting surface requirements and sensitivity adjustment procedures. Do not install on surfaces subject to excessive ambient vibration, as this may cause nuisance triggering.
