1Perimeter securityPerimeter security overviewEnhance your total securityProviding an effective security system for most facilities usually requires acombination of intrusion detection sensors. In many cases, the use of outdoorperimeter intrusion detection sensors will greatly enhance your total security.Interior security sensors that detect intruders at your front door or inside yourbuilding can be very effective. However, in many high security applications it maybe more advantageous to detect intruders at the perimeter before they enter yourbuilding, or in case of correctional facilities, before an inmate escapes.Outdoor perimeter intrusion detection sensors provide advance warning forresponse forces. Outdoor sensors also provide substantial cost savings byreducing risk, losses and the number of staff required.Outdoor sensors are commonly used in conjunction with fences or walls, andprovide reliable 24 hour security under all environmental conditions.Senstar’s outdoor sensors are unique and are renowned for their exceptionalperformance, reliability and low false and nuisance alarm rates.site planning guide 1 - 1

Perimeter security overviewGoals of perimeter securityPerimeter intrusion detection sensors detect people or vehicles entering orleaving a secured area. A comprehensive perimeter security system includes thefollowing elements: deterrence detection delay assessment responseA perimeter security sensor system, such as Perimitrax, ensures effective detectionunder difficult environmental conditions.Factors affecting perimeter sensor selectionThe decision to use perimeter sensors, and the selection of a particular type ofsensor, depends on the following factors: degree of protection desired (whether the site is low, medium, orhigh-security) physical barriers used the threat cost of the sensor technology versus the alternative (guards, or ignoring thethreat) site perimeter properties level of alarm assessment present life cycle cost site appearanceLife cycle costWhen comparing different perimeter detection systems, it is important toconsider more than just the initial acquisition cost. The cost of installation,training, operation, spares, and maintenance must also be considered. Thelife-cycle cost is the total of all of these costs over the life of the system. Asignificant part of this cost is the cost of false alarms.Be sure to consider all of the relevant factors when selecting a perimeter securitysystem.1 - 2 site planning guide

Perimeter security overviewSite appearanceDo you want your site to look like a fortress? Tall fences topped with barbed wirehave a definite deterrent effect, but they may not provide the type of image thatyou wish to project.A covert system may be the answer.Perimitrax - the security solutionPerimitrax is Senstar Corporation’s high-security perimeter intrusion detectionsensor system. It is based on ported ’leaky’ coaxial cable technology. Sensorcables buried around the perimeter of a site carry radio-frequency (RF) signalsalong the path of the cables. These signals form an invisible electromagneticdetection field around the cables that can detect the presence of an intrudercrossing it. Sensor Modules house the necessary electronics to monitor thedetection field created by the RF signals and to raise an alarm if an intruder entersthe detection field.site planning guide 1 - 3

4System overviewIntroductionPerimitrax is a high-security perimeter intrusion detection sensor system. It isbased on ported ’leaky’ coaxial cable technology. Sensor cables buried around theperimeter of a site carry radio-frequency (RF) signals along the path of the cables.These signals form an invisible electromagnetic detection field around the cablesthat can detect the presence of an intruder crossing it. Sensor Modules house thenecessary electronics to monitor the detection field created by the RF signals andto raise an alarm if an intruder enters the detection field.Perimitrax can use either a separate pair of sensor cables (SC2) or a single sensorcable (SC1), depending on site and performance requirements.Perimitrax provides the following features: covert operation greater than 99% probability of detection low false and nuisance alarm rate perimeters are terrain following tamper resistance integral power and data distribution (optional) integral support of other sensor types (optional)site planning guide 4 - 1

Sensor cablesSensor cablesThe Perimitrax systems are based on ported ‘leaky’ coaxial cable technology. Onthe exterior, the sensor cables appear identical to standard coaxial transmissioncables. However, the patented Perimitrax sensor cables are designed to permit RFsignals to leak through an opening in the outer shield. They are quite differentfrom standard coaxial cables that have a complete shield to contain the signalswithin the cable.The signals leak through the opening to form an electromagnetic detection fieldoutside the cable. If another ported cable is placed within the detection field, anRF current is induced in its center conductor, because the signals pass inwardthrough the opening in its shield.The Perimitrax system offers two ported coaxial cable alternatives.The SC1 is a single, twin-coaxial cable with one transmit side and one receiveside, covered by a protective outer jacket.SC1 sensor cableThe SC2 consists of two individual cables (one transmit, one receive) buried inparallel around the site perimeter.Because both the SC1 and SC2 sensor cables are buried and the detection field isinvisible, the system is covert. Intruders have no way of knowing where thedetection field lies.Perimitrax cables can be laid to follow any terrain, even around corners and upand down hills. Because the detection field surrounds and follows the cables, italso follows the terrain. This means that the Perimitrax systems are not limited toline-of-sight applications with smooth surface requirements.4 - 2 site planning guide

Sensor cablesSC2 sensor cableWhen to use SC1 and SC2The SC1 and SC2 sensor cables are similar in technology, function and quality,however, each one is more suited to different situations.SC1The SC1 sensor cable provides the same level of detection as the SC2 sensorcables when they are spaced 1 m (3.3 ft.) apart.SC1 is typically the best choice for general use, particularly when there are spacelimitations due to physical barriers such as buildings, walls or fences.The installation cost for a single cable SC1 system is less than for a dual cable SC2system with a similar perimeter. The main reason for this is that the SC1 systemneeds only one trench, whereas the SC2 system needs two trenches for asuccessful cable installation.SC2The two cables in a dual cable SC2 system can be moved farther apart to obtain awider detection field.This feature is particularly effective in situations where wider detection zones willprovide the added level of security that may be required, for instance in areaswhere there are wide open spaces with no nearby physical barriers.See Sensor cable sets on page 5-8.site planning guide 4 - 3

Detection fieldDetection fieldThe sensor cables are buried around the perimeter of the site and connected tothe Sensor Module (Models SM100-1 and SM100-2) transmit and receive cableconnectors. The Sensor Module generates the detection field along the length ofthe cables.When properly installed and calibrated, SC1 and SC2 systems are nearlyimpossible to defeat by unaided human intruders.SC1 detection fieldSC2 detection fieldSensor cable detection fieldNOTES1.The SC1 detection field issimilar to the SC2 detectionfield when the SC2 cablesare spaced 1.25 m (4 ft.)apart.2.Detection field dimensionsdepend on the cablespacing, installationmedium and the SensorModule threshold settings.3.For the SC2 sensor cables,the detection field size alsodepends on the cablespacing.Typical detection field dimensions for SC2 sensor cablesSystems can be configured to suit a variety of applications.4 - 4 site planning guide

System configurationsSystem configurationsThere are 2 basic configurations for a Perimitrax system - standalone and network.The most simple system consists of a single Sensor Module set up as a standaloneunit. A more complex system could include multiple network Sensor Modules,auxiliary sensors, Sentient Security Mangement Systems, multiple networks, etc.This section illustrates basic standalone and network configurations.Standalone configurationsThe smallest Perimitrax system is a standalone configuration. It consists of a singleSensor Module, its associated sensor cable(s) and a power supply. This singleSensor Module configuration can provide intrusion detection for perimeters from10 m (33 ft.) to 400 m (1,312 ft.) long.Multiple Sensor Module configurations can also be created to provide intrusiondetection for longer perimeters.Readings are taken and adjustments are made using a portable computer andNetwork Controller temporarily connected to the Sensor Module, or manuallyusing an optional local interface assembly.Single Sensor Module standalone configurationsThis configuration is used when only one zone is required.Sensor Modulealarm signalspower andcontrol signalsmini loadterminatorsterminator cablezone 1( up to 200 m (656 ft.))SC1 sensorcabledecouplerSingle zone open loop configurationsite planning guide 4 - 5
