Tecnoalarm EXPLORER II Instructions For Use Manual page 2

1. DESCRIPTION
EXPLORER II is a outdoor microwave barrier of extremely high reliability.
It houses up-to-date circuit technology in an aluminium casing which is
equipped with a special plastic cover being extremely resistant to atmospheric
agents. It is easy to mount on tubes in the wall or the ground.
EXPLORER II is able to discriminate and thus distinguish atmospheric
perturbations and the fall of leaves from attempts at burglary. The barrier is
completely immune to fog.
2. MOUNTING
2.1 ANALYSIS OF THE INSTALLATION
Make sure that the ground surface on which the barrier is to be placed is as
flat as possible.
Best results are obtained on surfaces such as cemented pavements, asphalt,
earth and on all homogeneous surfaces.
Good results can also be obtained on grass unless it is kept well-trimmed and
does not exceed 10cm height.
Small trees and bushes can generate false alarms.
Small obstacles such as electric masts or wire-mesh fences with large
meshes (min. 5 x 5cm) which do not move donot affect the correct
functioning of the system.
2.2 PERIMETER PROTECTION
On every side of the perimeter is installed a receiver (RX) as well as a
transmitter (TX).
For the protection of a perimeter
composed of four sides (fig. 1), the
barriers have to be placed so that
two transmitters (TX) are placed in
every angle and two receivers (RX)
in the opposite angle.
This arrangement prevents from
possible interferences between
receivers and transmitters. If RX
and TX are installed close to
eachother, the signal of TX, which is
very strong, can disturb the receiver
RX next to it and cause malfunction
of the latter.

10. ANTIDISMANTLING
The barrier EXPLORER II is equipped with an antidismantling function. Any
attempt at dismantling provokes the opening of the tamper contact.
To ensure correct functioning of the antidismantling device the mounting
bracket or post has to be in a perfectly upright position. It is recommended
to use the bubble level to verify the exact vertical mounting of the support.
11. CONNECTIONS
11.1 CONNECTION TO TP12 EQUIPED WITH TPCOM
If the outdoor barrier is connected to a TP12 equiped with a telephone
communicator TP COM, the fault output has to be connected to a technical
zone input.
