Page 5: System Description
System description Principles of operation The FiberPatrol fence-mounted perimeter intrusion detection sensor system, detects and locates intruders using fiber optic technology. FiberPatrol senses and locates minute vibrations in the fence fabric caused by climbing, cutting, lifting, or otherwise disturbing the fence fabric. A fiber optic sensor cable is attached to a perimeter fence. -

Page 7: Alarm Reporting
Note To ensure that there is enough sensor cable to cover the fence and any installation variations, Senstar recommends ordering a 15% overage (e.g., to protect 1 km of fence, order 1.15 km of sensor cable). FiberPatrol Site Planning & Installation Guide... -
Page 8: Fp1400 Sensors
The FiberPatrol FP1100X Series fence protection system is available in eight models, which are based on the required length of fiber optic cable. Careful site planning is essential to ensure the components that are ordered, are the correct components for the application. The following table... -
Page 9: Fiberpatrol Components
FiberPatrol components FiberPatrol components Processor The FiberPatrol processor supports two independent fiber optic sensors (S1, S2) and can monitor up to 1440 distinct alarm zones. The alarm zones are defined in software, and do not depend on cable length. The processor operates on 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power and can annunicate alarm conditions with contact closure outputs or via the Network Manager software. -
Page 10: Controller
FiberPatrol components Controller The FiberPatrol controller (see Figure 2:) generates the laser light signal that is transmitted into the fiber sensors. The controller collects the backscatter reflections created by vibrations in the protected fence, analyzes the signal, and passes the data to the processor. Start module/fiber patch panel The start module (see Figure... -
Page 11: End Module
FiberPatrol components End module The end module terminates the laser light at the end of each detecting fiber, without causing undesirable reflections. There are 3 types of end modules available, a single end module (FPMA0212) a double end module (FPMA0222) and a combined double start/end module (FPMA0223).The end module can be located outdoors in a splice enclosure or indoors with the start module, in the fiber patch panel. -

Page 13: Buried Vault
FiberPatrol components Buried vault Another method for zone to zone isolation is to move the sensor cable off the fence through conduit and then form a 13 m (43 ft.) isolation loop inside a buried vault. The cable is then run through another section of conduit and back onto the fence where it continues as another zone. -
Page 14: Site Planning
Site planning FiberPatrol configurations The recommended method for installing FiberPatrol sensor cable is to use the minimum number of splices possible; i.e., run a single length of cable from the equipment room to the fence, and continue for as far as site conditions will allow you to go. Use splices for the start module, the end module, and at any site features where a continuous run of cable is impractical or impossible. -
Page 15: Open-Ended Loop Configuration
FiberPatrol configurations In some instances it is desirable to have a single length of cable running between the equipment room and the start of the perimeter. This is most common in installations where the sensor unit equipment is located at a distance from the perimeter. In this case, a dual start/dual end module is located in the equipment room, and a single lead cable runs to the perimeter fence. - Page 16 FiberPatrol configurations splice enclosure dual end module FiberPatrol sensor cable fiber optic cable (sensor cable/lead cable) sensor unit S1 (sensor fiber 1 - internal to fiber optic cable) equipment S2 (sensor fiber 2 - internal to fiber optic cable) fusion splice fiber optic termination Note: Cable length = a + b + c + d + e + f Figure 11 FiberPatrol fully closed redundant loop configuration...

Page 20: Site Survey
Site survey Site survey The first step in installing a FiberPatrol fence protection system is to conduct a detailed site survey. The survey assesses the site conditions to determine the specific installation requirements including the fence type, fence condition, fence length, zone layouts, sensor cable route, non- detecting lead cable length, length of sensor cable required to cover the perimeter, and the location for the electronic components. -
Page 21: Fence Height Considerations
Site survey height for a weld mesh fence is 2.4 m (8 ft.) and climb-over deterrent hardware should be securely mounted on top. All components must be securely connected to prevent any metal on metal contact which can be caused by moderate to strong winds. Fence height considerations FiberPatrol will provide a good level of detection for fences up to 3 m (10 ft.) high with a single pass of cable. -
Page 22: Razor Ribbon/Concertina
Use tensioning wires to secure the coil and to prevent the razor ribbon from separating if it is cut. Due to the nature of razor ribbon, FiberPatrol does not recommend installing sensor cable directly on the razor ribbon. Contact Senstar Customer Service if your application requires that sensor cable be installed on razor ribbon. -
Page 23: Gates
Site survey Gates There are generally two types of gates used with fences, swinging gates and sliding gates. Sliding gates must be bypassed, and should be protected by another type of sensor (e.g., a microphonic non-fiber fence sensor, a microwave sensor, an IR beam). Swinging gates can be protected by FiberPatrol sensor cable. -

Page 34: Cable Requirements
Site survey Cable requirements Calculating the total length of fiber optic cable is one of the most critical phases of site planning. Other equipment requirements, including the necessary software license, are determined by the length of cable. The following table provides guidelines on how to determine how much cable is required. - Page 35 Site survey • stainless steel cable ties (1 tie per 60 cm (2 ft.) of cable, additional ties required for cable loops and outdoor splice enclosures, requires installation tool) • FiberPatrol cable vaults (optional) for buried isolation loops • conduit for below ground cable bypasses Page 34 FiberPatrol Site Planning &...

Page 37: Optical Fiber Safety
Optical fiber safety Use care when working with exposed optical fibers. The bare fibers are 125 microns in diameter and can easily penetrate skin. Always wear safety glasses when working with optical fibers. WARNING Always dispose of bare fibers in a sealed and labeled container that is specifically designed to contain fiber optic waste. -
Page 38: Cable Loss Limits (Maximum Attenuation)
Cable loss limits (maximum attenuation) Note Test the fibers from both ends of the cable before splicing the fibers to the start module and end module.

Page 47: Control Equipment Installation
Do not over-tighten to avoid stripping or shearing the screws. The sensor cable should be manually tensioned as it is being clamped and fastened to keep it straight and taut. Installed sensor cable must not sag or touch the surface.

Page 52: Maintenance
Maintenance Recommended maintenance The FiberPatrol 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 53 Recommended maintenance • use a hard, blunt tool (e.g., a screwdriver) to simulate a series of cut intrusions by tapping the fence fabric; verify that alarms are declared and accurately located each time • climb on the fence at several locations; verify that alarms are declared and accurately located each time 3.
