Page 9: System Description
Principles of operation The FiberPatrol FP1150 fence-mounted perimeter intrusion detection system detects and locates intruders using fiber optic technology. FiberPatrol senses and locates minute vibrations in the fence caused by climbing, cutting, lifting, or otherwise disturbing the fence fabric. A fiber optic sensor cable is attached to the perimeter fence.
Page 10: Fp1150 Configurations
2 fiber optic perimeter non-detecting lead cables 1 fiber optic sensor cable Figure 1 FiberPatrol block diagram - fully closed loop redundant configuration FP1150 configurations There are three distinct configurations for the FP1150 Series sensor: • Loop configurations in which the two sensors run in opposite directions in one fiber optic cable.
Page 11: Alarm Reporting
The FP1150 Series sensor can be incorporated into any security system, which accepts contact closure alarm data. A contact closure based FP1150 Series system can be configured to report up to 262 distinct alarm zones, plus system supervision and fail alarms through the UltraLink I/O system.
Page 12: Fiberpatrol Components
IDS software, contact closure outputs, or via the Network Manager software. The FiberPatrol sensor unit includes 2 SSD RAID hard drives, as well as dual redundant power supplies. There is an audible alert output that is activated in the event that one of the power supplies fails.
Page 13: Outdoor Splice Enclosure
The outdoor splice enclosure houses all field splices for the FiberPatrol system. The splice enclosure is also used to protect the FiberPatrol end module when it is installed outdoors. The splice enclosure is mounted on the protected fence. There are 2 models of the splice enclosure available.
Page 14: End Module
Figure 5 FiberPatrol dual end module Sensor cable/non-detecting lead cable FiberPatrol sensor cable is telecommunication grade single-mode fiber optic cable with a medium density polyethylene outer jacket and a waterblock system. The non-armored loose tube cable is comprised of a 5 unit fiber optic core (12-fiber buffer tubes and PE filler units) a central strength member and a rip cord.
Page 15: Cable Ties
The stainless steel cable ties are available with bare metal or vinyl coated in lengths of 8, 14, and 20 inches. For situations in which the FiberPatrol cable will be installed on a temporary fence and will be redeployed later, UV resistant plastic cable ties are recommended.

Page 17: 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 equipment room connection to the SU, for the end module, and for any fiber drop points.

Page 23: 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 24: Weld-Mesh Fences
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. The single cable pass is installed at one-half the fence height unless the fence includes a middle rail.
Page 25: Razor Ribbon/Concertina
Site survey It is possible to install FiberPatrol sensor cable on barbed wire, but extra precautions must be taken to avoid damage to the sensor cable. Run the sensor cable along the fence and loop the cable up beside the fence posts. Secure the sensor cable to the barbed wire so that the cable avoids contact with the barbs.
Page 26: Gates
Figure 24 Gate bypass Protecting swinging gates with FiberPatrol To cover a swinging gate with FiberPatrol sensor cable, a cable management kit (p/n FPKT0500) is used to protect the sensor cable and allow it to move freely when the gate opens and closes.

Control equipment installation The FiberPatrol electronic control components are designed to be installed in an EIA 19 in. equipment rack. The rack requires a mounting depth of 20 in. (51 cm) plus a minimum 2 in. (5 cm) of front space between the equipment and the rack doors and at least 6 in.
Page 48: Fiberpatrol Splices
The FiberPatrol sensor unit operates on 100 to 240 VAC 50/60 Hz and consumes 200 W maximum. The sensor unit requires 2 independent AC receptacles. An additional AC receptacle is required if the optional rack-mount keyboard/monitor/mouse is being used at the site.
Page 49: Maintenance
Maintenance Recommended maintenance The FiberPatrol system 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 50 Any dust or contamination will compromise system operation. 6. Battery test (once per year) If your FiberPatrol system includes battery back-up, disconnect the power to the components and allow the system to run on battery power until the battery runs down and the system shuts down.

The FP1150 configuration settings should be adjusted only by a factory trained technician. Setting up the FiberPatrol system is best done by two people who are in communication during the procedure. One person walks around the perimeter and taps the sensor cable to mark the features of the site for the system software.
Page 67: Location Calibration - The Tap Test
Calibration setup In FiberPatrol installations, the actual length of the sensor cable does not match the length of the protected fence. Adjustments must be made for the non-sensing lead cable between the equipment room and the fence, as well as for site features that require extra sensor cable (i.e., gates, bypasses, service loops, sensitivity loops, isolation loops).
Page 68: Location Calibration For Loop Configurations
For Sensor 1, the FiberPatrol cable between the Sensor Unit and the detection start point on the fence must be set to non-sensing. For Sensor 2 the end of the FiberPatrol sensing region must be defined. Adjust the Detection Settings (see Tap test setup on page 67).
Page 69: Calibrating The Set Start For Sensor 2 And Set End For Sensor 1 (Loop Configurations)
For Sensor 2, the FiberPatrol cable between the Sensor Unit and the start point of the perimeter must be set to non-sensing. For Sensor 1 the end of the FiberPatrol sensing region must be defined. Adjust the Detection Settings (see Tap test setup on page 67).

Page 125: Remote Alarm Output
For Network Manager alarm reporting the most common Report Mode is either 0 or 6. In the default configuration, the FiberPatrol sensor unit provides a TCP/IP server with one available connection for interfacing to a remote security management system (SMS). Additional connections can be configured (restrictions apply).
Page 126: Communication Timing
Communication timing By default, FiberPatrol alarm reports are transmitted approximately once per second. When a new alarm is generated, a report with the new alarm information is transmitted immediately. Alarm information is transmitted for as long as an alarm is active (typically, for the duration of an event plus 60 seconds).
