    Connect the cable across the gate using quick-disconnect connectors. Buildings, walls and other structures FlexZone can be used to detect intruders attempting to cut, saw, chisel, drill, or smash their way through building walls, ceilings, roofs, floors, or stock cages. FlexZone sensor cable can be attached to the structure using commercially available fasteners such as cable ties or nail-clamps that ensure good contact between the sensor cable and the protected structure.

    Figure 11: Processor location active cable start points The FlexZone processor can be mounted outdoors on a post, either on, or separate from, the fence on which the sensor cables are installed (see Figure 11: ). A rigid fixed post is recommended for outdoor applications.

  • Page 20: Power Source And Wiring

    Power source and wiring The FlexZone processor can operate on a wide range of input voltages (12 to 48 VDC). The power supply, the number of processors, and the lengths of the power cable runs will determine the gauge of the power cable wiring that is required.

    FlexZone processors from a central control facility. There are two selectable control modes for the FlexZone processor’s inputs and outputs (I/O) local control mode and remote control mode. You set the control mode in software, via the Universal Configuration Module (UCM) which is a Windows-based software application.

    Cable connectors The splice kit is used to join two FlexZone cables together, and to join lead-in cable to sensor cable. The splice kit is also used to make cable repairs. The termination kit is used in situations where a FlexZone sensor cable is not connected to another FlexZone sensor cable.

  • Page 24: High Security Installations

    High security installations High security installations The FlexZone sensor can provide redundancy for high-security installations, providing certain rules are followed. If these rules are followed, then the system will continue to provide perimeter detection even if one processor fails, or a sensor cable is cut or if one power supply fails. With this configuration, each 300 m of sensor cable is monitored simultaneously, by two processors.
