FiberPatrol FP400 sensor
The FiberPatrol FP400 is a fence-mounted perimeter intrusion detection system that detects
intruders using a fiber optic sensor cable that is attached to the fence. The FP400 processor uses
interferometry technology to measure the strain in the sensor cable caused by climbing, cutting,
lifting, or otherwise disturbing the fence fabric. The processor monitors four independent sensor
zones, each with up to 300 m (984 ft.) of sensor cable. Up to 20 km of non-detecting lead-in cable
carries the signals between the processor and the alarm zones.
16 I/16 O processor
The 16I/16O processor provides 16 analog inputs and 16 relay outputs, which are available to the
host security management system through the Silver Network. A network interface card (NIC)
must be installed on J1, the 40 pin socket on the 16I/16O card. The 16I/16O processor collects
and distributes alarm status information and control point data for auxiliary security devices via the
Silver Network. The 16 inputs collect status information from auxiliary security devices. The
processor reports the devices’ status to the Silver Network Manager, which in turn reports to the
host security management system. The host system presents the alarm data to an operator. The
security management system operates the 16 relays, as output control points (e.g., to activate
lights, doors, sirens, CCTV equipment, etc.). The 16I/O processor operates on 12 to 48 VDC, and
comes in an outdoor rated weatherproof enclosure.
UltraWave microwave sensor
The UltraWave microwave detection sensor is designed for exterior perimeter intrusion detection
applications. UltraWave consists of a microwave transmitter and receiver, which detect motion in a
defined area. The transmitter emits microwave energy, which the receiver constantly monitors and
measures. Any motion in the detection zone causes a variation in the received signal. The signal
variations are detected and processed by the receiver, which declares a sensor alarm when the
received signal meets the criteria for a valid target.
UltraLink scalable I/O system
The UltraLink I/O system provides up to 272 I/O points for the host security management system
(SMS) through the Silver Network™ Manager (NM). The UltraLink processor module includes 8
voltage sensing inputs and 8 relay outputs. Up to 8 expansion modules can be connected to the
processor in any combination, to provide an additional 256 I/O points. There are three UltraLink
expansion modules available. The UltraLink input module provides 32 voltage sensing inputs, the
relay module provides 32 relay outputs, and the output module provides 32 open collector outputs.
Each UltraLink module is comprised of a circuit card assembly (card) and a DIN rail mountable
card holder.
The UltraLink I/O processor can be configured to operate in Network Manager Mode (NM Mode).
In NM Mode, the UltraLink I/O processor acts as the Network Manager, providing alarm outputs for
a connected network of up to eight Silver devices. In NM Mode, the Silver devices do not require a
connection to a PC running Silver Network Manager software. The supported Silver devices
include OmniTrax, FlexZone, FlexPS, UltraWave, XField and XField LT. Sensor alarms and
supervision conditions are assigned to UltraLink I/O outputs (relay or open collector). When an
alarm occurs on a connected sensor, the corresponding UltraLink I/O output is activated. If
Multiple alarm conditions are assigned to a single UltraLink I/O output, the conditions are OR’d. A
maximum of four output expansion modules can be used in NM Mode enabling up to 136 distinct
output points (for additional details see NM Mode on page 249
).
