Page 4: Introduction
1. Introduction The FD504 and FD508 are fiber optic sensors designed to detect potential intruders that are trying to breach a perimeter. The FD504 can monitor up to four different sensing fibers (zones) and the FD508 can monitor up to eight different sensing fibers (zones). This document will use FD50x to mean “either FD504 or FD508.”... - Page 5 Figure 1-1. Front view of the FD508 APU. The FD504 is similar but supports up to four zones.

2. Safety Information This section contains information to help ensure safety and the proper operation of equipment. Please follow these instructions carefully, and keep them accessible, for future reference. When using the FD50x, use only attachments and accessories that have been specified by FSI, and refer all servicing to qualified personnel. - Page 7 Inspection The FD50x APU should be inspected for shipping damage. If any damage is found, notify Fiber SenSys and file a claim with the carrier. Save the shipping container for possible inspection by the carrier. Laser Radiation The FD50x APU is a Class 1 laser product, as defined by IEC 60825-1 and CFR 21 subchapter J.
- Page 8 FCC Rules Note: This equipment has been tested and complies with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy.

Page 9: Installing The Sensing Fiber
3. Installing the Sensing Fiber The FD50x detects intruders by sensing small disturbances caused by vibrations induced within a fiber optic sensor attached to the perimeter’s deployment medium. The optical sensor is a thin strand of multimode optical fiber inside a specially designed fiber optic cable. The fiber optic cable should be installed in such a way that, when intruders attempt to cross the perimeter, they create slight vibrations that disturb the sensing fiber. - Page 10 Figure 3-1. Multimode end-of-line (MM EOL) termination module. Cable Configuration Typically, Fiber SenSys provides single-mode (SM) a trunk cable that carries the insensitive lead-in fibers to all the zones. At points where a zone is desired, specialized tools can be used to cut into the trunk cable to expose one of the insensitive lead-in fibers which is then spliced to sensing fiber (see Figure 3-2);...

5. Alarm Processing Unit (APU) Setup Setting up the APU consists of several steps: • Physical installation • Attaching and configuring the optical cables • Tuning the zones to optimize detection and reduce nuisance alarms • Testing and validation • Integrating the APU into monitoring systems Physical Installation The APU comes with a rack-mounting kit consisting of two rack-mounting handles and screws... - Page 15 Through the tuning process, the overall sensitivity of the zones (each zone can be independently tuned), as well as parameters that help to reject nuisance alarms, can be adjusted. To do this, run the 500 View software from the 500 Series Software Suite. To understand the required tuning operations, please refer to AN-ENS-007 Setting the Tuning Parameters.

Page 17: Maintenance
There are no user-serviceable parts in the APU. In case of an APU failure, corrective maintenance involves replacing or repairing the APU with Fiber SenSys. If an APU is replaced or repaired, or changes are made to the fiber optic sensors, repeat the steps in Section 5, Alarm Processing Unit (APU) Setup. - Page 18 For troubleshooting assistance, contact Fiber SenSys Technical Support Service: telephone, 1- 503-726-4455; email, support@fibersensys.com; or go to the Fiber SenSys website, www.fibersensys.com.
