    2.5 m (8 ft.) high. Additional passes of sensor cable are recommended for fences that are higher than 2.5 m. FlexPS can also be used on many other types of building material (e.g., brick, stone, concrete, cinder-block, stucco, wood, drywall, ceramic). However, due to the different vibration transmission characteristics of each type of fence or building material, one zone of a processor should be used on only one type of surface.

  • Page 8: Security Factors

    If you are not sure of the suitability of your fence for a FlexPS sensor, Senstar recommends hiring a local fencing contractor to inspect, and if required, repair the fence.

  • Page 9: Standard Fence Types

    Palisade fences usually consist of vertical metal stakes that are attached to horizontal support members, which are supported by metal posts. The effectiveness of FlexPS on a palisade fence depends on the characteristics and construction of the particular fence. Palisade fences conduct vibrations well and any attempt to cut into the fence will be detected.

  • Page 10: Razor Ribbon

    Figure 2: Recommended cable installation on barbed wire fence Razor ribbon FlexPS sensor cable can be installed on razor ribbon. However, due to the likelihood of the sensor cable being damaged, Armour-FLEX cable is recommended. The razor ribbon must be secured so that it does not move in the wind.

  • Page 11: Gates

    Connect the cable across the gate using quick-disconnect connectors. Other structures The FlexPS sensor can be used on other types of fences and structures. It can be deployed on wooden fences, walls, along the top of concrete or brick walls to detect climb-overs, inside conduits to protect sensitive data cables, on pipes to prevent sabotage, etc.

  • Page 12: Site Survey

    Site Survey Site Survey Conduct a site survey to ensure that site conditions are suitable for a FlexPS sensor system. The primary concern is the condition of the fences and gates. Note Sites that include a fence line that abuts the primary perimeter fence can be vulnerable to climb over intrusions where the two fences meet.

    Alarm communication wiring (relay output or network alarm communications). Sensor cable selection rules There are two types of sensor cable available for use with the FlexPS system, MEX cable and Mark 2 cable. MEX cable uses a fixed center conductor and contains a permanent electrical charge.

    Figure 7: Cable pass recommendations Note Fences that use vinyl privacy slats may not be suitable for use with a FlexPS sensor system, as the privacy slats have a tendency to dampen vibrations. Fence corners and heavier gauge posts Corner posts and heavier gauge support posts tend to dampen the fence’s vibration transmission characteristics.

    Silver Network based processors using Ethernet communications have the option of using Power over Ethernet technology to power the FlexPS processor. To use this powering option requires a PoE standard class 3 switch that is located a maximum of 100 m (328 ft.) from the processor, and Category 5 network cable.

  • Page 21: Grounding Considerations

    Audio listen-in The FlexPS sensor cable is microphonic and picks up acoustic fence noise along the zone. The processor can place the audio from its two monitored zones on an audio bus. The audio system requires a single twisted shielded pair, with 35 pf/ft. or less capacitance. (Belden 8761 has a single shielded twisted pair of 22 AWG wire.)

    The earth ground connection must be stable and noise free. An improper or unstable earth ground can induce noise in the FlexPS sensor. Do not use the fence structure as an earth ground connection. Consult the local electrical code for grounding requirements. Avoid sharp bends in the ground wire.

    Installing the FlexPS processor If excessive noise is present, or becomes evident after installation, check the integrity of the sensor cable installation. In particular, ensure that there is no inadvertent ground connection to the coaxial cable shield at either end of a splice connection or terminator. Verify that the center conductor and shield have not been swapped at the terminal block.

  • Page 67: Calibration & Setup

    Calibration & setup Introduction FlexPS calibration is done, using Senstar’s Universal Configuration Module (UCM). The UCM is a window-based software application that performs the calibration, setup, maintenance and diagnostic functions for Senstar’s line of intrusion detection sensors. The UCM connects directly to the FlexPS processor via USB.

  • Page 68: Calibration Terminology

    This ambient signal can effectively be ignored and only the signals which are outside this ambient, consistent region, are evaluated for Cut and Climb Alarm significance. Page 68 FlexPS Product Guide...

  • Page 69: Understanding Flexps Alarm Detection

    Introduction Understanding FlexPS alarm detection The FlexPS processor constantly evaluates the input signals from the sensor cables to discriminate between Cut events, Climb events, and environmental activity. The characteristic response of a Cut event is a sharp spike with a fast rising and fast falling edge. For a climb event, the response includes the fast rising edge, which is followed by a series of peaks and valleys caused by the continued presence and changing stresses on the fence.

  • Page 70: Climb/Crawl-Under Detection

    Intrusion simulations To setup and test the FlexPS sensor you must perform intrusion simulations for both cut and climb intrusions. The easiest method for simulating a cut intrusion is to tap the fence with the blade of a medium sized screwdriver. Hold the screwdriver lightly by the handle, and flip your wrist to bring the blade into contact with the fence.

    Threshold can be adjusted to help prevent nuisance alarms from environmental effects. If your site does not specify values for the Count and Window parameters, Senstar recommends using the default values and changing the values only if you experience a problem with nuisance alarms.

  • Page 73: Preventing Weather Related Nuisance Alarms

    Preventing weather related nuisance alarms If your FlexPS system is having a problem with nuisance alarms during inclement weather, inspect the fence to ensure it is in good condition and there are no loose fittings that can cause metal on metal contact.

The network configuration can be set only by using a direct USB connection between the UCM computer and T3, the USB port on the processor.

  • Page 77: System Test Procedure

    Note The following tests can be used to verify FlexPS system operation. The tests are described in a generic manner, which does not take into account site specific details (e.g., you can test the Audio output, only if the Audio listen-in feature is setup at your site).

  • Page 78: The Zone Profile

    FAIL____ The Zone profile Senstar strongly recommends creating a zone profile for each FlexPS sensor zone at your site. To create a zone profile, connect the UCM to the processor. Open a magnitude response plot, and select the Disable Filter Reset After Alarms check box. Have a tester move along the zone, tapping each fence panel three times, while recording the plot.

  • Page 79: Maintenance

    Maintenance The FlexPS sensor requires minimal maintenance to ensure proper operation. However, setting up and following a maintenance schedule based on your site-specific requirements can ensure proper detection performance, prevent nuisance alarms and extend the operational lifetime of the system. The frequency at which the maintenance should be scheduled depends on your security requirements and on the installation environment.

  • Page 80: Adjusting The Filter Settings

    Adjusting the Filter Settings The FlexPS processor’s frequency response range is from 100 Hz to 900 Hz. In most installations, the default setting of 300 Hz and 700 Hz should be used. However, in some instances, nearby equipment that generates noise at a specific frequency, can affect the sensor’s detection.

  • Page 81: Using The Power Grid Filters

    To counter the effects of high EMI, FlexPS includes two selectable low frequency filters that can be used to screen out 50 Hz and 60 Hz noise. The following procedure can be used to determine if such a condition exists at your site and to correct the situation if it does exist.
