Anti Touch Alarm

ATS AntiTouch detector is designed for protecting and securing paintings, busts, sculptures, table displays etc. The ATS system is an ideal and effective security system that operates invisibly.

It consists of two components: The ATS SensorPlate and the ATS Electronic Module. The ATS SensorPlate is mounted on the back of the painting or picture or underneath the vase, sculpture or table or even inside a display case. It cannot be seen by the viewer. The SensorPlate connects with the item. Its protection can be adjusted and matched to the size of the exhibit (generally between 10 to 50cm).

The Electronics Module evaluates any movement very close to the art so that an alarm or buzzer is set off as soon as a person (or hand for example) gets too close within the area of protection or attempts to remove the object or cut it out of the canvas.

Applications;

Protection of a painting that is not (or too large to be) protected by glass

Hidden protection of a bronze statue resting on a plinth (pedestal)

Invisible protection of an entire display of silverware on a table

The creation of open plan displays when, in the past, the exhibits were locked in display cases

Protection of soft marbles where too much touching would cause irreparable damage

Protection of a gown while mounted on a mannequin

Surveillance of classic motor vehicles

Protection of a commode or desk

Specification;

The AntiTouch surveillance can be adjusted from 0cm to approx. 60 cm. (In fact, often the protection follows the contours of the exhibit).

The ATS SensorPlate consists of a specially designed aluminium foil which is attached to an isolating backer. The thickness of the ATS SensorPlate comes as 3.5mm standard and can easily be cut to size and shape. (Standard panels are 1m by 0.625m) 3 panels can be joined together to provide coverage of a large area. The SensorPlate is a sandwich with both outer sheets being conducting material and the filling (matrix) is very light and stable. All the ATS SensorPlate constituents have been specially selected to be pH neutral, absorb no moisture and have no off-gassing even at elevated temperatures. It is also very light (1 sheet is just 1kg). Due to these properties, ATS SensorPlate is very suitable for if specially controlled microclimates are necessary (e.g. for the minimisation of exhibit ageing) and ensures proper air passage behind paintings and objects. It has no negative impact with no chemical effects on the painting or artefact.
