SENSTAR FlexZone - At Software Defined Zone Boundaries; Service Loops

Installing the sensor cable
FlexZone Product Guide Page 31
At software defined zone boundaries
• Optionally, install zone demarcation loops at soft zone boundaries for increased zone
isolation. The extra cable helps ensure that valid targets are located accurately in the correct
zone. See Figure 23:
for sensitivity loop and zone demarcation loop layout recommendations.
See Figure 24:
for an illustration of how to use zone demarcation loops.
Service loops
• Install U-shaped service loops approximately 50 m (164 ft.) apart along the sensor cable run.
The loop should measure 30 to 45 cm from top to bottom. Install service loops at fence posts.
• For a double cable pass create two equally spaced service loops in the same manner as for a
single cable pass.
