Copper Cop™ is an efficient, dependable and reliable security protection solution designed to combat theft of commercial air conditioning (HVAC) units. Copper Cop can be installed and activated in minutes by a security professional and, unlike other HVAC alarm products, does not require an HVAC, Plumber’s or Electrical Contractor’s License.

Thousands of commercial HVAC units are destroyed each year by thieves seeking to gain quick cash by stealing copper condenser lines and selling them at scrap yards. The cost of business disruption can be high, including replacement of the HVAC system, and inability to use the facility while the HVAC service is being restored.

Additionally, repeated thefts increase a company’s insurance premiums, making copper theft one of the most vexing challenges businesses face today.

Linear, a leader in innovative and cost-effective security products and theft prevention systems, has developed Copper Cop for Security dealers and integrators whose customers want a quick, secure, and active deterrence solution.

The Solution Is Here
Linear’s Copper Cop consists of a unique 30-foot cable harness with eight self-tapping screw-in clip assemblies, connected to a weatherproof alarm interconnect box. The system is ready to accept a wireless alarm transmitter or hard-wired connection to a security alarm panel. Once Copper Cop is installed on the exterior of the HVAC unit and activated, removal of the HVAC unit cover or tampering with the cable triggers an alarm.
