Wireless Gate Sensor
Description
The Wireless Gate Sensor (WGS) operates in conjunction with the FlexZone processor to provide
RF-based wireless security protection for gates. The WGS is comprised of two components. The
wireless gate sensor module (GSM) a high-sensitivity accelerometer, is attached to the protected
gate. The GSM analyzes signals picked up from the fence fabric on the gate and will transmit an
alarm when it detects vibration, motion, or positional changes. A wireless gate sensor receiver
(GSR) that is mounted on the FlexZone processor receives the transmission and passes on the
alarm signal to the FlexZone processor. Alarm data communications are via the FlexZone
processor over the Silver Network or by contact closures.
