Processor calibration

When calibrating the FlexZone processor for the first time, begin with the
detection parameters in the default settings.

The Sensitivity Profile

A Sensitivity Profile should be recorded for each FlexZone sensor cable (Side A
cable, Side B cable). The Sensitivity Profile records the sensor's measured
response to a fence disturbance along the full length of the detecting cable. The
profile will verify the sensor cable's performance and can identify problems on
the fence. The Sensitivity Profile also serves as the baseline for setting the
Threshold at which Events are recorded and added to the Event Count.
Recording the Sensitivity Profile
Note: For a double pass installation drag the screwdriver along the fence
approximately halfway between the upper and lower cable passes. See the UCM
online help for additional details.
The recommended method for creating the Sensitivity Profile is to drag a
screwdriver or similar instrument along the fence fabric 15 to 30 cm above, or
below, the sensor cable.
Beginning at the start point of the detecting cable, place the screwdriver against
the fence fabric and apply consistent pressure as you walk along the side of the
fence. Keep the pressure steady and maintain a uniform pace as you drag the
screwdriver along the fence fabric. When you reach the first fence post, lift the
screwdriver over the post. Continue dragging the screwdriver along the fence
fabric maintaining a consistent distance from the sensor cable until you reach the
end of the detecting cable. Keep the pressure of the screwdriver and your
walking pace as consistent as possible. Repeat this process from the end of the
detecting cable back to the start point.
