Intelli-FLEX™ Intelligent Fence Mounted Cable Type Sensor
A Technological Breakthrough in Signal Processing for Cable-Type Sensors

2. Introduction Intelli-FLEX™
Cable-type intrusion detection sensor (Fence Mounted)
outdoor and interior applications
Provides an alarm if an intruder
attempts to climb over the fence
attempts to cut through the fence
attempts to lift the fence fabric
attempts to penetrate wall (indoor version)
E-Flex II is a passive sensor.
Sensitive coaxial cable is mounted directly on the fence line.

3. Typical Configuration
Dual zone deployment

4. Vocabulary Glossary of terms Zone Sensor cable Non-sensitive cable
The area or sector that is being monitored.
Sensor cable
The proprietary coaxial transducer cable mounted on the fence.
Non-sensitive cable
RG59/u coaxial cable that connects the processor to the sensitive cable.
Processor
Outdoor mounted electronics required to analyze the sensor cable disturbance.

5. Equipment List Intelli-FLEX™ System Elements
Processor w/ enclosure and power supply & battery charger
Program Module
Sensor Cable
Non-sensitive Cable
Splice Kit
Terminator Kit

6. Theory of Operation Triboelectric Effect
Minute movement (flexing) of the cable will produce a transfer of charge between conductors in the passive sensor cable. This measurable signal is monitored at one end of up to 1000 feet (300 m) of cable

7. Supervision Circuits Sensor cable supervision
Monitored by a small DC current
Terminated by a 1M ohm resistor (EOL)
If the cable is cut, shorted, or the processor enclosure is tampered with, a supervision alarm will be generated
Hall Effect” board mounted magnetic tamper switch.

8. Cable Splices Terminator/Splice Kits
UV protected and weather resistant
Connect sensitive cable to non-sensitive cable, or sensitive cable to sensitive cable.
Explain the theory behind low DC voltage
Note that sensitive cable can be connected to either sensitive coax or non-sensitive coax

9. Theory of Operation Processor
Continually evaluates electrical signals generated by the sensor cable, and converts the information to a digital format.
Through “Adaptive Algorithms”, the processor will alarm if an intruders is trying to
Cut the fence fabric.
Climb the fence.
Lift the fence fabric.

Back-up battery provides over 8 hours of operation during power failures.
Operationally tested from -30 o C to o C.

18. Adaptive Algorithms™
Sophisticated software code written to change or modify system parameters as new information is received

19. Ambient Compensation
Statistical analysis of digitized analog signals identifying properties inherent in wind & rain as they differ from cut & climb
Provides a “Dynamic Threshold” as weather events build, without sacrificing sensor performance or detection

20. Common Mode Rejection
An event “qualifier” that compares identical weather effects on adjacent zones to verify ambient compensation measures

21. Audio Option
Optional audio plug in board allows selection and monitoring of sensor cable signals.
Provides “Listen-in” capability
On-board line amplifier
Remotely switchable - Zone 1 or 2
Explain that the audio module is providing the actual disturbance signal

22. Weather Station Option
Enclosure mounted weather sensor provides simple rain and wind verification to the processor via A/D converter

23. Multiplexer Option
Mux version of the Intelli-FLEX board provides data communication interface within the signal processor eliminating the requirement for outboard transponders or multiplexers

24. Theory of Operations Options (continued) Weather Station
Provides weather data so the processor may make intelligent decisions.
Self Test Terminator
Provides a permanent and convenient way to test zones remotely. No external power or wiring is required.

25. Preparing for Installation
Installation Planning
Perimeter of installation
Perimeter structure
Mounting the processors
Monitoring and power wiring.
Perimeter of installation
How many gates, what is the distance, large openings.
Perimeter structure
What is the condition of the fence. Center of panel, should deflect 2-3 inches with 30 lb. pull.
Mounting the processors
Locate positions at least 15 feet away from the fence line.
Monitoring and power wiring
Must me run to each processor.

26. Preparing for Installation
Site Survey
Should be conducted before installing any system hardware
To ensure optimum performance...
Mounting surface should be as stable as possible.
Fences must be cleared of vegetation and any other objects that disturb the structure.
A good earth ground should be achieved for the sensor processor.
Earth ground is highly recommended.
Note that if two different ground planes are present, nuisance alarms will occur.

27. Preparing for Installation
Site Survey (continued)
Fence condition is critical to the trouble-free and efficient operation of the Intelli-FLEX sensor.
All fence framework should meet or exceed minimum specifications outlined in the installation manual.

28. Preparing for Installation
