  • Page 31 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS Figure 24. Processor Pedestal Mounting Transducer Cable Installation Installation of Standard Coaxial Transducer Cable Installation of the standard coaxial transducer cable is best accomplished with a minimum of two people; one person to unreel the cable (see Figure 25) while the second person attaches the cable to the fence.
  • Page 32 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS Figure 25. Unreeling Cable CAUTION: Extreme care should be used when handling the transducer cable as nicking or scraping the outer jacket, and kinking or knotting the cable will shorten the operational life and permit unwanted interference to enter the signal processor. The transducer cable should be left with enough length at the signal processor for a service loop to be used as a moisture drip leg.
  • Page 33 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS Figure 26. Cable Tie Installation When the transducer cable is routed from the fence to pass around a fence post or standard and return again to the fence, be sure to leave a slightly loose, but not drooping, loop. Otherwise, when the fence is stressed, the cable can chafe, wearing through the cable jacket.

  • Page 35 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS Figure 29. Increasing Transducer Cable Sensitivity Overlap of adjacent zones is not required but may be desired by some customers. Refer to Figure 30 if overlap is desired. If, at the end of a zone there is an excess of transducer cable, do not coil excess cable as this may become hypersensitive and be the source of nuisance alarms.
  • Page 36 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS Figure 30. Zone Overlap...
  • Page 37 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS Transducer Cable Installation With Two or More Persons Begin at one end of a zone with one person unrolling the cable and one person loosely tying the cable to the fence. Using cable ties, loosely tie the cable to the fence every 20 to 30 feet to keep it off the ground.
  • Page 38 NOTE: Do not use ordinary cable ties because they will not withstand the effects of sunlight. Senstar provides the proper cable ties with each roll of sensor cable. The Helisensor installation procedure is very similar to the installation of standard coaxial transducer cable, with added requirements for trimming the zone to size.
  • Page 39 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS through the termination box and conduit and to the terminations inside the processor enclo- sure. Terminate the Helisensor to the enclosure as shown in Figures 31 or 32, using the 1/2-inch conduit termination provided. Helisensor should be attached to 1/2-inch conduit fitting before it is secured in the processor enclosure.

  • Page 47 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS Gate Installations Gates, including sally ports, require the same protection as the fence. There are many types of gates, but they are generally swinging or sliding. Additionally, gates can be installed as either single or double gates.

  • Page 48: Telegate Installation

    INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS As the transducer cable approaches the gate, it is tied to the fence fabric, turned and run up vertically approximately one foot, then turned horizontally and tied to the upright gate support post near, but not on, the upper hinge.
  • Page 49 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS The recommended position of the support post for each Telegate is approximately 5 feet from the end of the sliding gate when opened to the maximum position, and not less than 1 foot or more than 2 feet from the centerline of the fence posts on the gate side of the fence.
  • Page 50 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS Step 4 Remove the bottom cap by first removing the three 1/4-inch screws. Remove the cap by gently tapping the lip. Step 5 Remove the cable tie and tape and uncoil the armored cable at the top of the Telegate tube. Be careful because when you uncoil the cable the weight can fall to the bottom of the Telegate tube.
  • Page 51 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS Microwave Gate Protection The Senstar MPS-4100 microwave system provides coverage of the area around a gate while allowing the gate to move freely. See Figure 47. The FPS transducer cable can terminate at the end of a zone on either side of the gate or nonsensitive cable can be spliced and run underground in conduit to continue the zone.
  • Page 52 The FPS-2-2M includes a transponder circuit board which enables multiplex CEnDe communications to the Senstar MX-1000/5000 Security and Control Center or the Data Collection Unit (DCU). The transponder card requires the proper code to communicate with the control centers.
  • Page 53 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS NOTE: The shields for the data and audio lines are purposely kept separate. DO NOT connect these shields together. EDAPT configured FPS-2-2M units install and connect in the same way as standard units but require different switch and jumper settings.

Relay Jumper Options Special Circuits The FPS-2-2R includes a test input (terminals 7 and 8) which allows testing of each alarm zone. The testing injects an alarm signal at the transducer cable input which, if operating correctly, will produce an alarm output (relay operation).

  • Page 57: Initial Setup And Adjustment

    INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS 6 INITIAL SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT Processor Adjustments Initial setup and adjustment consists of setting option jumpers and transducer cable gain and count switches. The gain and count switches are the same for both the FPS-2-2M and FPS-2-2R. Switches and jumpers are located on each processor circuit card, so there are two sets of switches, one for each processor zone.
  • Page 58 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS Gain Switch S-1. This switch is a four position dip switch set in a binary code for values from 1 to 10. This switch controls the signal processor sensitivity. The higher the number, the more sensitive that zone becomes.
  • Page 59 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS Main Board Jumper Settings The main board has jumpers which must be set to configure the processor for either standard or EDAPT operation. Revision C boards have 5 jumpers, Rev D boards have 7. Standard operation is used with all FPS-2-2R units and all standard FPS-2-2M units.
  • Page 60 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS Jumper Positions There are two types of FPS-2-2M transponder boards, both of which have factory installed jumpers. The jumpers are set at the factory and SHOULD NOT be changed in the field. Figures 54 and 55 are provided for reference only to show the correct jumper settings for the two types of transponder boards.

  • Page 62 N.C. position. Supervision Each relay output has provisions for the 3 K ohm Senstar supervisory circuit. If the circuit is to be super- vised by a Senstar alarm monitor, or a system from another manufacturer requiring a 3 K ohm resistance circuit, place the jumper in the B position.

  • Page 63: System Startup And Testing

    INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS 7 SYSTEM STARTUP AND TESTING General System startup and testing consists of powering up the system and making tests to verify proper operation and detection of fence disturbances. Initial testing consists of verifying the continuity and integrity of the transducer cable installed in each zone and the power supply to each processor.
  • Page 64 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS In (b) above, if the reading is other than noted, the cause is due to a break or abrasion in the outer jacket of the transducer cable, causing a short between the shield and the fence fabric. DO NOT continue with testing until the problems have been found, repaired, and an acceptable resistance measurement is attained.
  • Page 65 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS Testing Using Senstar’s Field Test/Monitor Unit. NOTE: The Field Test/Monitor Unit can be used to test either the FPS-2-2M or the FPS-2-2R units. Step 1. Remove processor cover. Step 2. Verify that the signal processor gain switch S-1 is set to 4.
  • Page 66 System checkout usually involves testing the complete system from the fence to the central control point including alarm control and remote alarm annunciation. If you are using one of Senstar’s monitor/ display options, refer to the appropriate manual for check-out and operation:...

  • Page 67: Maintenance/Troubleshooting

    INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — FENCE PROTECTION SYSTEMS 8 MAINTENANCE / TROUBLESHOOTING General The entire system will continue to perform efficiently only if it is properly maintained. It is highly recommended that the entire system be thoroughly tested and tuned once every three to four months.
  • Page 68 NOTE: Tamper alarms caused by moisture penetration can be intermittent. To repair a damaged transducer cable, splice kits are available from Senstar that require no special tools and can be performed in about 5 minutes. (See Section 5, TSK Installation) Systematic Testing Problems sometimes occur due to equipment failures.

  • Page 69: Procedures

    Repairs to equipment and circuits con- tained in the alarm processor are not recommended. Return components thought to be defective to Senstar for repair in accordance with the repair procedure. Include information describing the nature of the problem with the returned component.
