RE: RELEASE OF COPPERWATCHER – ALARM COMPANIES SOLUTION TO AIR CONDITIONER THEFT DETECTION
The CopperWatcher is the premier solution to the explosion in air conditioning coil theft for scrap copper. The CopperWatcher is engineered for and distributed through, licensed security alarm companies, HVAC wholesale suppliers and installed by professional HVAC technicians.
CopperWatcher targets the connections thieves’ compromise to steal an air conditioner with unsurpassed reliability. Typically the first thing a thief does before stealing the unit is shut down the high voltage power at the disconnect located next to the unit. The CopperWatcher supervises power to the air conditioner and activates an outdoor siren when it is shut off, drawing attention to the would-be thieves. The CopperWatcher is intelligent enough to tell the difference between a purposeful shut down and a local power outage and will not send a “false alarm” to the security panel, saving you a possible fine from your local authorities and the nuisance the audible alarm will cause.
Should a power outage occur the CopperWatcher will still function because it is supported by the alarm systems back up battery and continues to detect theft through a specially modified and patent pending pressure switch. The moment a pressure loss is detected CopperWatcher activates the siren and again draws attention to the theft. The CopperWatcher also accepts other forms of applicable detection equipment as long as it meets the demand of the application and quality standards.
You want to detect a theft as early as possible to prevent any repairs from a failed attempt. The difference between detecting a thief at the power switch and catching them with the pressure switch is hundreds of dollars in repair and down time. A repair is better than a system replacement but if your only line of defense is a pressure switch then the best outcome to hope for is a sizable repair of the refrigerant line, steel enclosure and any other damage made before cutting the line. Our design best promotes a thief fleeing an attempted theft as early in the process as possible so you keep your equipment and minimize any damage.
Do your homework regarding the few systems available out there and ask yourself if they are as comprehensive as the CopperWatcher is in providing theft detection. If they are not covering every angle available to a thief ask yourself why? It will only cost you time, money and major inconvenience if you don’t.
