Microwave barrier PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS AND FEATURES The detector can function in areas with long grass or of uneven surfaces up to a height or height variance of 1 ft. (0.3 m) under the conditions specified below. The detector meets a climatic implementation standard of temperatures ranging from 233°K through 338°K (from -40°F through +147°F, -40°С... - Page 6 Microwave barrier the operating signal – specifically, of the frequency channel – in order to eliminate possible mutual interference of adjacent detectors. It is therefore possible to set up multiple detectors in parallel. The detector addresses a malfunction by disconnecting the outputs of the terminal control relay until the elimination of the malfunction when: a random, unanticipated chance malfunction occurs at the transmitter unit or receiver −...

Page 7: General Operating Principles
Microwave barrier GENERAL OPERATING PRINCIPLES The transmitter unit and receiver unit are placed at opposite ends of the area to be protected. The transmitter unit emits electromagnetic waves in the direction of the receiver unit. The receiver unit receives these waves, converts them into an electric signal, and analyzes this signal. An intruder who penetrates the detection zone –... -
Page 8: Selecting The Installation Location
Microwave barrier SELECTING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION Attention! The safety and reliability of the operation of the detector depend on the strict observation of the following requirements. The presence of water due to overflow/spillage/leakage/seepage/etc. from nearby structures (e.g., roofs, etc.) should be avoided in the direct vicinity of the detector units (in the direction of the emission, no closer than 16.40 ft. - Page 9 Microwave barrier In case of installation near power lines, the detector units should be placed no closer than 16.40 ft. (5 m) to lines of a voltage up to 35 kV, and no closer than 32.81 ft. (10 m) to lines of a higher voltage up to 500 kV.

Page 10: Mounting The Detector
Microwave barrier MOUNTING THE DETECTOR In terms of its physical configuration, the final assembled detector is comprised of two oppositely- placed separate units – the transmitter unit and receiver unit – which are identical in size and appearance. To perform proper physical orientation of the units, it is necessary first to loosen their fixing nuts, and then to tighten them after final adjustment. - Page 11 Microwave barrier - 11 -...

Page 12: Initial Set-Up
Microwave barrier INITIAL SET-UP Switch on the power supply of the detector, and check its voltage at the corresponding outputs of the units. The voltage can be checked by any device that provides such measurement. The measured value, taking into account the required reserve for usage, must be between 12-36 V. After the power supply is switched on, it is necessary to perform the initial adjustment of the detector. -
Page 13: Operating Frequency Adjustment
Microwave barrier OPERATING FREQUENCY ADJUSTMENT The detector has 250 independent frequency channels (1-250) available. The difference in frequency between adjacent channels is 1 MHz. The complete range of available channels comprises 24.001-24.250 GHz. The nominal operating frequency of channel 1 is 24.001 GHz, that of channel 10 is 24.010 GHz, and that of channel 250 is 24.250 GHz. -
Page 14: Detection Speed Adjustment
Microwave barrier DETECTION SPEED ADJUSTMENT An important feature of the processing algorithm of the detector is its ability to evaluate the likely maximum speed at which an intruder could reasonably be anticipated to penetrate the detection zone in relation to the actual penetration speed of the intruder. The specification of the associated evaluation parameter is made by the user, depending on the physical characteristics of the protected area. -
Page 15: Testing And Tuning
Microwave barrier TESTING AND TUNING To implement the desired operation of the detector, it must be set to operational status after verification of the proper generation of alarm signals. It is therefore necessary to first perform test penetrations of the detection zone along its entire length, especially at particularly vulnerable points like depressions and elevations. - Page 16 Microwave barrier physical configuration of the installation so as to effectively avoid the source of such noise. Noise of an intermittent character may be caused by the sporadic penetration of the detection zone by wind-blown tree limbs; hence, the importance of strict maintenance of an adequate exclusion zone (see ‘SELECTING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION’...

Page 17: Installing Multiple Detectors At One Site
Microwave barrier INSTALLING MULTIPLE DETECTORS AT ONE SITE Where several detectors are installed adjacently with the intent to prevent penetration of the barrier at the so-called “blind zones” in the immediate vicinity of the detector units, a segment coverage overlap of at least 11.07 ft. (3.5 m) should be established. In such a detector configuration, detector units of the same type (transmitter unit or receiver unit) must be placed side-by-side. -
