Here are answers to some of the most common questions we are asked on a regular basis.
Why would I need this?
Our products can actually stop a break-in and prevent loss of property. Even with a conventional alarm, the police will not likely get there in time to prevent major losses.
Does this stuff really work?
For our twenty plus years experience with the Burglar Bomb, Repulsars, and Intercepter, we have established a performance record that is unsurpassed by any system or device in the security industry.
What does it do?
Burglary protection is provided by a high volume charge of finely atomized pepper spray that is released by our devices when an intruder enters the premises. This aerosol fills a room in seconds, causing extreme bouts of coughing and shortness of breath which forces anyone present to head for an exit.
How long does it last?
The aerosol spray can linger effectively for up to an hour.
Will the pepper affect adjacent rooms?
Only if the door is open.
How do I get back in after an incident?
The effected area can be ventilated in less than an hour, but even without airing out, the area will be habitable in three to four hours.
Is there a residue?
Technically, yes. But, it is so minor as to be undetectable.
Is the residue toxic?
No. The active ingredient is food grade pepper extract.
Is any cleanup required?
No. But, if you feel inclined to do something, normal household cleaning procedures such as vacuuming, damp mopping, and damp dusting will work nicely. Avoid sweeping for awhile.
Will it harm my pets?
Normal concentrations will not injure animals such as dogs or cats, but may be harmful to birds.
Are the units difficult to install?
No. The Burglar Bomb and Intercepter can be installed in minutes with as little as a screw driver. The Repulsar units take a bit more effort.
Can I get a copy of the installation instructions?
Installation instructions are accessible from the left margin of the products page on this web site.
Can this equipment be tied in with my alarm system?
The Repulsar I and the Repulsar IV are designed specifically to interface with conventional alarm systems.
What is the temperature range for successful operation?
The normal operating range is 32 degrees F to 120 degrees F. For operation outside this range, consult with our engineer.
Do the aerosol cans have a shelf life?
Yes. They should be replaced every three years. Expiration dates are printed on each can.
Where can I get replacement cans?
You can order online, call 1.800.235.6961, or check with your local security dealer. Note: We like to hear from customers whose Burglar Bomb, Repulsar or Intercepter has saved their property in a break in attempt. If you send us a copy of the police report, we will send you a free set of replacement cans.
Is it OK to substitute a different brand of pepper spray?
No. The actuators and formulation are very specific to our security devices. The spray is a super fine atomization which provides exceptional hang time and dispersion. It is also nonflammable. Substituting another brand could cause results that range from disappointing to hazardous.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. See instructions on products page for details.
Do you manufacture any other products?
Yes. We also produce the N100 and W60 PIR motion detector which are among the best in the industry. Click accessories on the products page for details.
Can I become a dealer?
People wishing to become a dealer must already have a business handling compatible merchandise. Request should be made in writing. New dealers must pay an initial fee redeemable with purchase of our security products.
