    Umirs Europe Ltd. Predix operating frequency also contributes to the narrow width of the detection zone. A sample view of the detection zone profile of a 300 m-long segment is shown in Figure 1.1. Figure 1.1 – Sample view of the detection zone profile...
  • Page 5: Mounting The Detector

    Umirs Europe Ltd. Predix Comment – No requirements are shown in respect of the area for the limits of non-radio transparent (metal, ferroconcrete and so on) walls and barriers. The presence of nearby walkways, bikeways, roadways, railways, etc., forested tracts, and large, immovable objects and structures must be at a distance from the detector of no less than twice the width of the exclusion zone itself.
  • Page 6 Umirs Europe Ltd. Predix above the ground. There has to be provided the facility to shift the detector units along the support simply in case of seasonal adjustments. The initial height at which the detector units should be positioned before further adjustment is 0.9 m from the ground surface to the center of the unit.
  • Page 7 Umirs Europe Ltd. Predix INSTALLING MULTIPLE DETECTORS AT ONE SITE Where several detectors are installed adjacently with the intent to prevent penetration of the barrier at the so-called “blind zones” in the immediate vicinity of the detector units, a segment coverage overlap of at least 3 m should be established.

  • Page 9: Preliminary Set-Up

    Umirs Europe Ltd. Predix PRELIMINARY SET-UP The detector has two systems for the determination of proper threshold levels: “automatic” and “manual”. In the automatic system, the processor determines the optimal threshold levels for the detection of intruders penetrating the detection zone on a ground surface. In the manual system, the optimal threshold levels are explicitly specified by the operator.
  • Page 10: Frequency Adjustment

    Umirs Europe Ltd. Predix DETECTION SPEED ADJUSTMENT An important feature of the processing algorithm of the detector is its ability to evaluate the likely maximum speed at which an intruder could be expected to penetrate the detection zone in relation to the actual penetration speed of the intruder. The specification of the associated evaluation parameter is made by the user, depending on the physical characteristics of the protected area.
