Santa Fe Springs, CA - Vault Pro, Inc., is pleased to announce that all Vault Pro Safes, Vault Doors, Safe Rooms and Escape Hatches installed with S&G's Spartan, Titan and 6100 series electromechanical locks are EMP resistant. S&G released new study data regarding its electromechanical locks and have confirmed their ability to properly open in the event of an electromagnetic-pulse (EMP) attack or solar incident.
EMP weapons attacks or incidents caused by a solar tsunami, similar to the one scientist say Earth narrowly escaped in 2014, have become a real concern from government to automakers to the consumer gun safe owner.
To address this concern, S&G put its Spartan, Titan and 6100 series electromechanical locks to the test, choosing the three specifically because of their prevalence in consumer gun-safes across a wide range of manufacturers. All three were tested at high-EMP levels in the same independent lab where S&G tests the U.S. government’s high-security 2740B locks against EMP “attacks.”
“The EMP threat is an important concern for many gun-safe owners, and we wanted to be sure our locks passed the most significant threat potential, testing them at the military’s highest EMP impact standards,” said Nate Brown, S&G Marketing Manager. “The S&G locks passed the test with flying colors.”
Generally, EMP-resistance requirements for electromechanical locks that protect the nation’s most classified documents only requires successfully passing testing at an EMP level of between 28 and 37 kV/m exposure.
S&G’s study¸ however, went beyond the standard testing and used an EMP exposure at levels of 50 kV/m – the U.S. military’s highest EMP impact standard as found in MIL-STD 461F, Method RS105. The lab tested all three lock series, applying radiant transient electromagnet field, and each were tested with a variety of S&G keypads, following the Military Standard MILSTD461F, Method RS105 at 50 kV/m peak exposure.
At the end of the testing series, the S&G locks were still fully functional. S&G credits the locks’ resilience to the expertise S&G engineers have applied from working with high-security locks for U.S. government facilities.
