Hatch Detection System

Protech

HATCH-SECURE, our new detector specially designed for hatches, access covers and manholes. The HATCH-SECURE system is an intrusion detector designed to protect access hatches from any attempted sabotage. Using multi-sensor technology with a gyroscope and a light sensor, it effectively detects unauthorized openings, impacts, drilling, and even cutting with a blowtorch.

Hatch Detection System

HATCH INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM

  • Modular solution: suitable for protecting a single hatch or up to 16 hatches per system
  • Unaffected by weather conditions: (rain, snow, extreme heat…)
  • Multi-sensors detect all types of sabotage: (cutting, drilling, forced opening, etc.)
  • Programmable sensitivity
  • Simple to use: connects via an output card to any existing standard alarm panel 

Concept

Modular and scalable, HATCH-SECURE can protect single or multiple hatches, with a controller managing up to 16 sensors. It seamlessly integrates with any standard alarm panel and security management systems (Modbus TCP), enabling centralized and responsive incident monitoring. Compact and easy to install, it provides a versatile and efficient security solution for critical infrastructure.

Application

HatchSecure sets a new standard for hatch detection systems with its modular design, comprehensive sensor capabilities, and user-friendly operation. By providing versatile security solutions that can be tailored to specific requirements, we empower businesses and organizations to enhance the protection of their assets and ensure peace of mind in an ever-evolving threat environment. Whether securing a single hatch or implementing a complex security infrastructure across multiple access points, HatchSecure offers scalability to meet diverse application needs. Its modular nature and adaptable design make it suitable for a wide range of environments, from industrial facilities and warehouses to commercial buildings and critical infrastructure sites.

With HatchSecure, safeguarding your hatches has never been easier or more effective.

Recommendation for installation

Designed with user convenience in mind, HatchSecure is engineered to be simple and easy to use. The system seamlessly connects via an output board to any standard IDS alarm panel, whether existing or newly installed. This streamlined integration process means that HatchSecure can be installed and maintained by any trained security partner or integrator, minimizing downtime and ensuring uninterrupted security coverage.

Technology

Equipped with a range of built-in sensors, HatchSecure offers comprehensive hatch monitoring capabilities. From detecting tilts, vibrations, and impacts to identifying sustained attacks or cutting torches, our system provides real-time alerts and notifications to security personnel. Furthermore, all sensors are programmable and can be fine-tuned to meet specific user requirements, ensuring precise and reliable detection tailored to each application.

Features

  • Impact and Sustained Attack Detection: MEMS accelerometers identify physical attacks like impacts and sustained attacks from tools.
  • Tilt Detection: Accelerometers can also detect tilt if mounted on the hatch lid.
  • Torch Detection: Ambient light sensors identify the use of cutting torches.
  • Open/Close Detection: General alarm inputs can be used with contact switches to detect hatch opening.
  • Additional Detection: General alarm inputs also allow for other detection methods like float sensors, tamper contacts, or magnetic sensors.
  • Adaptable protection: for one or more hatches, with a dedicated controller managing up to 16 hatches
  • Custom programming: to activate or deactivate sensors according to user requirements (site operation)
  • Integration with security management systems: (SMS) for global supervision
  • Programmable sensitivity: to adapt to different needs and and environments
  • Unaffected by weather conditions: works perfectly in rain, snow or hot & humid environments
  • Quick and easy connection: to any standard alarm panel, via a dedicated output card
  • Centralization of alarms: for efficient incident management
