KEY COMPONENTS: LEDs: Each VIB200 has three LEDs – Green, Amber and Red. These LEDs indicate the response of the sensor to impacts or cuts to the fence. Green LED ‐ The Green LED will indicate that the VIB200 has received a signal from the impact and will process that signal to qualify it as a valid event. If the Green LED does not flash during a valid attack upon the fence, the sensitivity of the VIB200 must be increased, or the distance Red LED: Alarm Output between the sensors reduced. Also, if there is a steady wind or the Amber LED: Qualified Event fence is vibrating as if there is a steady wind then the Green LED will not illuminate unless the impact exceeds the vibration due to wind. Note: Green LED: Activity on the Fence Disconnect power after each test to reset LED function, see below TESTING. Yellow LED – The Yellow LED will indicate that the VIB200 has qualified a A B C signal as a valid event. If the Green LED flashes, but the Yellow does not Programming Port: Factory Only flash during a valid attack upon the fence, the sensitivity of the VIB200 ** Do Not Remove Cover ** must be increased, or the distance between the sensors reduced. JP1A: On = LED Enable, Off = LED Red LED – The Red LED will indicate that the VIB200 has counted Disable enough events to qualify as an alarm and has produced an alarm output. JP1B AND C: Sensitivity Settings ...

JP1‐B On, JP1‐C On = High Sensitivity with Wind Mode TESTING: JP1‐B On, JP1‐C Off = Low Sensitivity with Wind Mode With the VIB200 mounted to the fence and the cover removed, select the sensitivity with Jumpers JP1‐B and JP1‐C per the guidelines above. Hook JP1‐B Off, JP1‐C On = High Sensitivity up a 9V battery to the sensor. Test the ability of the sensor to detect impacts and climbs at the desired range (30 to 50 feet). Move the sensor JP1‐B Off, JP1‐C Off = Low Sensitivity to various parts of the fence and test. The LEDs will alert you to the response of the sensor. One of the unique aspects of the Flair VIB200 is Remove power to the VIB200 Sensor prior to changing Jumpers. Once that each individual sensor can be tuned to a particular fence section. Jumpers are put back in the desired position reconnect power. Often the quality of the fence can vary from one section to the next. Choosing the sensor sensitivity depends upon the quality of the fence ‐ Decrease or increase the sensitivity of the sensor by changing Jumpers loose or tight, heavy or light link gauge, old or new, the height of the JP1‐B and JP1‐C to generate an alarm upon the degree of impact / attack fence ‐ short 5 ft. to regular 6‐8 ft. to tall >8 ft. and the surrounding to the fence you want to identify. A good rule of thumb is to select a environment ‐ remote or public, protected or windy. Selecting the sensitivity that generates an alarm at the 3 or 4 step in a climb. At this sensitivity is a balance between generating an alarm output upon a valid sensitivity the sensor should not generate an alarm at a single impact to attack to the fence and filtering out nuisance events. On a new tight fence the fence. of regular height, the sensor will work well with a low sensitivity setting. On a loose or older fence, the VIB200 will work best with a high sensitivity When testing with a battery, you must disconnect the battery from the setting. High sensitivity settings can be selected for remote areas with no sensor after each test in order for the sensor counter and timer to reset. public access but low sensitivity settings are better for fences adjacent to The counters will also reset once the sensor produces an alarm output public areas. and the RED LED flashes. Don’t forget to disconnect the battery when changing the sensitivity setting also. ...

The Power The VIB200 may be wired with one loop for alarm and one loop for power Trouble is an open collector output – normally closed. The Alarm Output trouble to be monitored by two zones on control panel or the alarm and will provide an electrical short to ground when activated. The Power power trouble may be combined on one loop. Trouble Output will open when activated.
