ATM PROTECTION / GAS PROTECTION SYSTEM
ATM Explosive Gas Attack Protection
The GPS Gas Protection System is a cutting-edge solution specifically designed to safeguard ATMs against the increasing threat of gas attacks. This system provides comprehensive protection, addressing the risks of explosions, fire, and cash theft.
Key Features of the GPS ATM Gas Protection System
Benefits for ATM Owners
Advanced Gas Detection
The GPS system is equipped with highly sensitive sensors capable of detecting the presence of explosive gases, such as acetylene, commonly used in ATM gas attacks. The system can identify the gas mixture before it reaches critical levels, enabling pre-emptive actions.
Explosion Control
In the event of gas detection, the GPS system triggers countermeasures that prevent ignition and mitigate the impact of a potential explosion. This includes safely dispersing the gas and neutralizing any threats before they escalate.
UL Approved Fire Protection
The GPS system integrates UL-approved fire suppression technology, providing an additional layer of security. In case of fire, the system activates to control and extinguish flames, minimizing damage to the ATM and surrounding areas.
Proven Effectiveness
The GPS Gas Protection System has demonstrated its reliability and effectiveness in real-world scenarios, successfully preventing explosions and reducing cash loss during attempted gas attacks. Its robust design ensures that your ATMs remain secure under various attack conditions.
TRUSTED BY UK AND GLOBAL BANKS SINCE 2003

Enhanced Security:
Protects ATMs against the dual threats of explosion and fire, safeguarding both the cash and the machine.
Customer and Staff Safety:
Reduces the risk of injury or harm to individuals at the ATM location, helping to avoid potential litigation.
Cost Savings:
Minimizes the financial impact of gas attacks by preventing cash theft and reducing damage-related expenses.
Peace of Mind:
Knowing that your ATMs are equipped with the best available protection against a growing criminal tactic.
The GPS system has a compact footprint and utilizes magnetic components, allowing it to be fully integrated into the ATM safe with minimal modification. This design ensures a quick and straightforward installation process, compatible with all types of ATMs.
Compact Design for Easy Installation:
The entire GPS system is housed within the ATM safe, providing an additional layer of security against tampering or vandalism. By being securely enclosed, the system remains shielded from external threats, ensuring reliable operation in all conditions.
Protected Placement Inside the ATM Safe:
The GPS operates independently of the ATM’s main power supply, thanks to its integrated 12v battery pack. This autonomy ensures the system remains functional even during power outages or deliberate power cuts, maintaining continuous protection against gas attacks.
Autonomous Operation:
The GPS can be easily integrated with other ATM security products to further deter criminal activities. Options include:
Sirens: Loud alarms to scare off attackers.
Strobe Lights: Flashing lights to disorient and deter criminals.
Fog Generators: Devices that release dense fog to obscure the ATM and prevent further tampering.
Integration with Security Features:
The GPS can be easily integrated with other ATM security products to further deter criminal activities. Options include:
Sirens: Loud alarms to scare off attackers.
Strobe Lights: Flashing lights to disorient and deter criminals.
Fog Generators: Devices that release dense fog to obscure the ATM and prevent further tampering.

Sirens: Loud alarms to scare off attackers.
Strobe Lights: Flashing lights to disorient and deter criminals.
Fog Generators: Devices that release dense fog to obscure the ATM and prevent further tampering.
Summary
During the development of the GPS, Loktec conducted comprehensive tests in both controlled environments and real-world scenarios.
On-Site Testing: The system was tested in operational settings to simulate real-life gas attack situations. This allowed Loktec to fine-tune the GPS for optimal performance under various conditions.
Ballistic Arena Testing: To ensure the system’s resilience and effectiveness, the GPS was also tested in ballistic arenas. These high-intensity environments mimic the extreme conditions of a gas explosion, allowing Loktec to evaluate and enhance the system’s ability to contain and neutralize such threats.
Extensive Testing:
Loktec partnered with DNV-GL, a globally recognized certification body, to certify the GPS system. DNV-GL conducted independent evaluations of the system’s functionality and effectiveness. This certification serves as a formal endorsement of the GPS's ability to protect ATMs from gas attacks and related hazards.
Official Certification by DNV-GL:
The GPS is CE-approved, confirming that it meets the stringent safety, health, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA). This approval ensures that the GPS complies with relevant EU regulations and is safe for use in various environments.
CE Approval:
In addition to CE approval, the GPS has received certification from global ATM vendors. This certification verifies that the system is compatible with various ATM models and meets the security standards set by leading industry manufacturers. It also ensures that the GPS can seamlessly integrate into ATMs worldwide without compromising functionality.
ATM Vendor Global Certification:
The Loktec GPS Gas Protection System’s extensive testing and certification process underscores its reliability and effectiveness. With official certification from DNV-GL, CE approval, and global recognition by ATM vendors, the GPS system stands as a proven and trusted solution for defending ATMs against the growing threat of gas attacks.
Summary
In addition to CE approval, the GPS has received certification from global ATM vendors. This certification verifies that the system is compatible with various ATM models and meets the security standards set by leading industry manufacturers. It also ensures that the GPS can seamlessly integrate into ATMs worldwide without compromising functionality.
ATM Vendor Global Certification:
Compact Design for Easy Installation:
The GPS system features the fastest gas detection technology, identifying even the smallest traces of explosive gases like acetylene or propane. Once gas is detected, the system instantly activates its countermeasures to prevent escalation.
Multi-Level Activation:
The GPS operates on multiple activation levels, allowing it to respond dynamically to the severity of the threat. Whether the attack involves a single gas injection or a sustained attempt, the system adapts to ensure the ATM and surrounding area remain safe.
Explosion Containment:
If an explosion is triggered, the GPS system contains the blast, significantly reducing its impact. This containment minimizes damage to the ATM, its cash reserves, and nearby property and reduces the risk of injury to bystanders.
Prevention of Gas Injection and Ignition:
When the system detects gas, it triggers a series of preventative actions. The GPS blocks the further injection of gas into the ATM and neutralizes the risk of ignition, stopping an explosion before it can occur. This preemptive response is crucial in preventing the catastrophic damage associated with gas attacks.
Continuous Suppression & Extinguishing:
The GPS doesn’t stop at initial prevention. It offers ongoing protection by continuously suppressing and extinguishing any after-effects of gas injection. If gas continues to be pumped into the ATM, the system remains active, neutralizing any potential for combustion. This indefinite protection ensures that the threat is completely mitigated, even if the attack is prolonged.
Summary
The Loktec ATM Gas Protection System offers comprehensive protection against gas attack scenarios. From detecting gas before it can cause harm to contain and suppressing explosions, the GPS ensures that your ATMs remain secure and operational, safeguarding both your assets and those who use them.
