  • Page 5: Overview

    Overview What is Intelli-FLEX II Intelli-FLEX II is an outdoor perimeter intrusion detection sensor system. It employs a passive coaxial cable detector, which is installed on the perimeter fence, to detect intrusion attempts. The cables can sense any vibration along the fence caused by climbing, cutting, or otherwise disturbing the fence fabric.

  • Page 6: Purpose Of This Guide

    Purpose of this guide Purpose of this guide This is the product guide for the Intelli-FLEX II DC/DC powered relay output processor. This guide includes information to assist you in selecting, installing, calibrating and maintaining the components of your Intelli-FLEX II system.

  • Page 7: Principles Of Operation

    The Intelli-FLEX II system monitors the processor’s power level. If there is a significant fluctuation in the power, a supervision alarm will be generated. In most applications, the processor can be programmed by the user for optimum performance.

  • Page 8: Intruder Detection

    Climb scenario variation 2 (crawl-under) - An intruder attempts to gain access to a secure area by lifting the fence fabric, and crawling under it. The Intelli-FLEX II system recognizes these scenarios and can discriminate between them and environmental activity.

  • Page 19: Site Planning

    Site planning guidelines Follow these guidelines to create an operating environment that allows the Intelli-FLEX II system to perform well. Perform regular inspections to ensure that the fence remains in good condition. Timely repairs to fence damage, the control of vegetation, and regular visual inspections of all detection zones, will provide years of effective operation.

  • Page 20: Site Survey

    A survey should be conducted before installing any system hardware to ensure that the site conditions are suitable for optimum function of an Intelli-FLEX II system. The primary concern of the site survey is the condition of the fences and gates where the sensor cable will be attached.

  • Page 21: Upgrade Existing Structures

    This section details the procedures that are required to upgrade several types of fences so that they are sufficient barriers against climb over and crawl under intrusions. If you do not see your specific fence type, please contact your Senstar representative.
  • Page 22 Upgrade existing structures Chain-link fences Chain-link fences are one of the most popular types of perimeter fences, hence, Intelli-FLEX II is often installed on an existing chain-link fence. The chain-link fence fabric should meet the following minimum specifications: • 9 GA (2.9 mm dia.) galvanized steel, 2.5 to 7.5 cm (1 to 3 in.) mesh chain-link (or weld-mesh) •...
  • Page 23 Palisade fences The effectiveness of Intelli-FLEX II installed on this type of fence will depend entirely on the characteristics and construction of the specific fence. There are several types of palisade fences.
  • Page 24 Other structures The Intelli-FLEX II system has been used on other types of fence structures. It has been deployed on wooden fences, on indoor walls to detect break through, in conduit along the top of concrete or brick walls to detect climb-over, along wire conduits to protect sensitive data cables, even in the handrails of a yacht to detect intrusion onto the ship while it is moored.
  • Page 25 Ambient weather conditions such as a tendency for electrical storms, high precipitation and strong winds may affect the configuration parameters for the Intelli-FLEX II system. Determine the normal weather conditions for the site. If it is determined that your site is in a severe weather environment, the cut count and climb time may have to be increased by 1 or 2 units.

    The Adaptive algorithms used by the Intelli-FLEX II processor are most effective when the preamplifier gain, and the event thresholds are set properly. Power problems This section describes typical problems that might be encountered when operating the Intelli-FLEX II processor from different types of power sources.

    A defective battery may never charge to reach 11 volts. If the 0.8 amp-hour battery that is supplied with the Intelli-FLEX II processor does not reach 11 volts after about 10 minutes of charging, it is defective and should be replaced. A defective battery that is fully discharged may quickly charge to a voltage of 11 volts, but not hold a charge.

    If the system is powered by distributed low voltage (24 or 48 VDC) a backup battery should not be connected at the processor. The converter used on the Intelli-FLEX II processor will operate over an input range of 18 to 56 VDC. If the input voltage is in this range and you measure less than 11 volts at TP2 (VDD), check to make sure the total load on the processor is less than 250 mA.

    Glossary Ambient compensation Refers to the ability of the Intelli-FLEX II to sense the environmental signal levels in the zone. Adjustments are made to the detection algorithms based on these signal characteristics so that response to weather conditions is minimized without reducing detection capability. This is a technician level adjustment.

    Intelli-FLEX™ Instruction Sheet #15 September 5, 2008 C6DA1503-001, Rev F Mark 2 sensor cable installation procedure Introduction Carefully remove 30 cm (12 in.) of the outer jacket, shield and dielectric to expose 30 cm of the center conductor at both ends of the cable. Before installing Mark 2 sensor cable (PN C6FG0902) you MUST stabilize the cable.

    The sensor cable can be mounted on either side of • the fence (site dependent). When the stabilization procedure is complete, have Senstar strongly recommends installing the sensor cable on both grippers simultaneously release the tension the secure side of the fence. on the center conductor.
