Asset Protection Device® Sensors

Back to Products
All Asset Protection Device Sensors are compatible with Universal and LapTop Asset Protection Devices.  Each sensor is used depending on the asset being protected and the installation.  Installation types fall into two groups - stationary assets and portable assets.  Stationary assets are assets that do not normally leave the premises while portable assets leave the premises on a regular basis.  Stationary assets almost always use the Universal Asset Protection Device (UAPD) sensor while portable assets (like LapTop PCs) use the Standard LapTop Asset Protection Device (LAPD) sensor or the Asset Protection Device PC Card sensor.

The Asset Protection Device PC Card Sensor is used on any asset that utilizes the PC Card standard interface - especially LapTop computers.  Most LapTop computers have at least two PC Card slots so one of them can be used for this sensor.  Other assets that utilize this interface include digital cameras and PalmTop computers.  The interface requires no software and does not effect the asset's operation in any way.  The APD PC Card Sensor is compatible with Universal and LapTop Asset Protection Devices.  The LapTop Asset Protection Device includes a keyed switch to enable/disable the PC Card Sensor so the LapTop can be take home.  The picture on the right shows a PC Card Sensor connected to a LAPD.

The Universal Asset Protection Device (UAPD) Sensor is used to protect assets that do not need to be disabled or moved - like printers and monitors.  The sensor cable plugs into a UAPD or LAPD port and the square sensor attaches to the asset with high adhesive double-sided tape.  If the sensor cable is cut or if the sensor is removed from the asset an alarm condition is transmitted by the UAPD or LAPD.  The UAPD sensor is usually programmed to protect the asset 24 hours a day and can only be disabled by authorized personnel.  The picture on the left shows the UAPD Sensor connected to a UAPD.

The Standard LapTop Asset Protection Device (LAPD) Sensor ships standard with each LAPD.  This sensor is similar to the UAPD Sensor except a splice is made in the cable near the sensor and a coupler is inserted.  The user disables this sensor (using the LAPD keyed switch) then disconnects the sensor cable at the coupler.  The sensor and its attaching short cable go with the LapTop or portable asset.  The PC Card Sensor is an upgrade from this sensor.  The picture on the right shows a Standard LAPD Sensor connected to a LAPD (keyed switch not shown).
