FlexZone Wireless Gate Sensor Page 1FlexZone™Instruction sheet #6G6DA0603-001, Rev ADecember 15, 2015DescriptionThe Wireless Gate Sensor (WGS) operates in conjunction with the FlexZone processor to provide RF-based wireless security protection for gates. The WGS is comprised of two components. The wireless gate sensor module (GSM) a high-sensitivity accelerometer, is attached to the protected gate. The GSM analyzes signals picked up from the fence fabric on the gate and will transmit an alarm when it detects vibration, motion, or positional changes. A wireless gate sensor receiver (GSR) that is mounted on the FlexZone processor receives the transmission and passes on the alarm signal to the FlexZone processor. Alarm data communications are via the FlexZone processor over the Silver Network or by contact closures. Features• 300 m (984 ft.)

InstallationThe FlexZone Wireless Gate Sensor requires the installation of three devices, a FlexZone processor, a GSR, and a GSM. In addition, the GSM includes the option of connecting an auxiliary security device like a magnetic contact as an aid for supervision and alarm reporting. The FlexZone processor serves as the WGS base station. The FlexZone Product Guide (G6DA0102) includes the installation details for the FlexZone processor. Installation overview1. Install the GSR on the FlexZone processor.2. Install the whip antenna on the FlexZone processor.3. Install the FlexZone processor.4. Install the gate sensor module. (If a gate contact is being used in conjunction with the GSM, install and connect the gate contact.)Mounting the gate sensor receiverThe GSR mounts onto the expansion header (T2) on the FlexZone processor, either by piggy-backing onto the network interface card (NIC) or directly onto the header if the processor does not include an NIC. The FlexZone processor powers and communicates with the receiver through the expansion header. Figure 2 illustrates the LED indicators and the antenna connection for the GSR.

Remove and retain the mounting hardware from the 2 standoffs on the FlexZone processor (flat washer, lock washer, machine screw).2. Align the 20-pin header on the bottom of the receiver with the expansion header on the FlexZone processor and align the 2 mounting holes on the receiver with the 2 standoffs. Carefully, insert the receiver into the expansion header. Use the retained mounting hardware to secure the receiver to the FlexZone processor.3. Connect the antenna to the receiver (see Figure 2).Installing the receiver on an NIC1. Remove and retain the mounting hardware securing the NIC to the processor (flat washer, lock washer, machine screw).2. Secure the NIC to the FlexZone processor with the 2 supplied standoffs.3. Align the 20-pin header on the bottom of the receiver with the expansion header on the NIC and align the 2 mounting holes on the receiver with the 2 standoffs on the NIC. Carefully, insert the receiver into the expansion header. Use the retained mounting hardware to secure the receiver to the NIC.4. Connect the antenna to the receiver (see Figure 2). CAUTION The FlexZone processor, network interface card and receiver all contain static sensitive components. Follow proper ESD handling procedures when working on the cards.Disconnect all sources of power to the FlexZone processor before installing the receiver.Figure 3 Mounting the receiver on the FlexZone processorFigure 4 Mounting the receiver on the NIC (steps 1 & 2)
Rev A InstallationFlexZone Wireless Gate Sensor Page 5Antenna mountingThe supplied whip antenna is sensitive in the 360º horizontal plane, but has low sensitivity above and below the antenna. The recommended installation location is centered on the FlexZone processor enclosure door. The enclosure door provides the largest ground plane, which improves the antenna’s sensitivity. Enclosure door mounting provides good sensitivity in both directions down the fence line. Figure 6 is a cross sectional representation of the antenna pattern for the supplied whip antenna. It is also possible to mount the rubber whip antenna on the top of the enclosure. However, top mounting generally results in a reduced maximum range along the fence line due to the smaller ground plane. However, mounting the antenna on top of the enclosure provides omni-directional coverage. 1. Locate the center of the selected mounting surface and mark the position of the mounting hole at that point.Figure 5 Mounting the receiver on the NIC (steps 3 & 4)Figure 6 Cross sectional antenna coverage patternNote To mount the antenna on the enclosure door or on the top of the enclosure, drill a 6.3 mm (1/4 in.) hole in the center of the mounting surface.Note For top enclosure mounting, remove the processor circuit card from the enclosure before drilling the mounting hole.Note The rubber whip antenna provides a good seal when the nut is securely tightened on the inside of the enclosure. However, a thin bead of outdoor rated silicone can be added around the base of the antenna to provide additional protection against water ingress.300 m (984 ft.) nominallow sensitivitylow sensitivity

For door mounting, open the enclosure door, lay the processor flat on the open side, and drill from the outside of the door.For top mounting, remove the processor circuit card from the enclosure and drill the mounting hole in the center of the top of the enclosure.3. Carefully remove all metal shavings from the enclosure.4. Remove the locking nut from the base of the antenna and pass the wire through the drilled hole (add a bead of silicone around the base of the antenna if desired).5. Feed the antenna wire through the locking nut and securely tighten the nut inside the enclosure. 6. Connect the UFL connector on the antenna wire to T5 on the receiver (see Figure 2).FlexZone processorThe FlexZone processor must be within 300 m (984 ft.) and have an unobstructed line of sight to each of its reporting GSMs (up to 4). Figure 7 shows a fence-mounted FlexZone processor with a rubber whip antenna mounted on the enclosure door. Mounting the gate sensor moduleThe GSM is designed to be attached directly to the fence fabric on a gate with UV-resistant polypropylene cable ties (supplied). For increased security, the GSM can also be attached with stainless steel cable ties (see Figure 1). Using an auxiliary security device (gate contact) with the GSMThe GSM includes a cable entry port fitted with a sealed cable gland for connecting a magnetic contact or other 2 wire security device to the GSM. The status of the auxiliary security device is reported to the host FlexZone processor by the GSM. The FlexZone processor passes the status information to the security management system over the Silver Network or via contact closures. The WGS can be configured to suppress GSM sensor and/or supervision alarms when the FlexZone Aux input is in alarm (i.e., when the gate is open). A FlexZone splice kit is available for making the connection between the auxiliary device and the GSM. Figure 7 Angle-mounted FlexZone processor and gate sensor moduleNote When attaching the GSM, ensure that the auxiliary input cable port is oriented toward the ground.battery powered GSMon sliding gate with angle-mounted forFlexZone processorbest RF receptionmagnetic gate contact

Remove 6 mm (1/4 in.) of insulation from the end of each wire.6. Remove and retain the 4 screws from the GSM.7. Remove the compression nut from the cable gland fitting and pass the cable through the nut and into the enclosure so that the two leads plus 1 cm (0.4 in.) of outer jacket are inside the GSM.8. Route the two leads along the inside edge of the GSM. Fold the two leads back so the battery or solar capacitor holds them toward the side of the enclosure and away from the proximity sensor (see Figure 8).9. Connect the two leads to the auxiliary input connector on the GSM.10. Ensure the wire leads are properly dressed (away from the proximity sensor) and cannot be pinched by the enclosure cover and reinstall the 4 screws.Selecting the GSM battery typeFor GSMs using D-cell batteries, set the shunt on T8 for the specific type and voltage of the battery being used (see Figure 10). The solar powered GSM does not include the T8 header.• for a 1.5 V alkaline battery place the shunt on T8 pins 1 and 2• for a 3.6 V lithium battery place the shunt on T8 pins 2 and 3 Replacing the GSM batteryThe GSM will transmit a low battery notification when the battery is down to 10% capacity. The GSM can usually continue to operate for over a month after the low battery notification. However, other factors such as temperature also affect the battery life. Senstar recommends that the battery be replaced within one week of the low battery notification (see Figure 8). Note Install the SK9 enclosure 15 cm (6 in.) above the cable to provide drip loops.Note If there is a chance that the GSM will be relocated to another position on the gate at a later time, create a service loop with sufficient cable near the GSM.CAUTION The GSM requires that all 4 screws (# 6 X 32 X 3/8 in.) be installed and securely tightened to prevent water ingress into the device. If a screw is lost, it must be replaced.Note The lithium type D-cell battery should be used at sites which experience periods of extremely cold (or hot) temperatures. The lithium type battery will provide more than double the operational lifetime of the alkaline type battery in normal use.CAUTION If the GSM includes an auxiliary device connection, use care when removing the cover from the GSM to ensure that no pulling force is applied to the auxiliary input connector (13 cm lead).

Download the configuration changes to the processor.Gate sensor module calibrationGSM calibration involves testing the gate to ensure that the detection parameter settings will detect a valid intrusion (see G6DA0209 FlexZone Detection tests). The recommended method to simulate a cut intrusion is to strike the fence fabric with the blade of a screwdriver. Hold the screwdriver a few inches away from the fence and flip your wrist to lightly strike the fence. Practice this to develop a consistent motion that applies a similar amount of force with each impact. Strike the fence at the same location for each test, waiting at least 2 seconds between impacts. The best Note Senstar recommends leaving the target filters and the GSM’s detection parameters at the default settings for the calibration procedure. Adjust the Target Filters only if you are experiencing an unacceptable NAR. Note Before beginning the GSM calibration, perform a shake test to ensure the gate is secure and has no loose fittings that may cause nuisance alarms during windy conditions. Grip the fence fabric in the middle of the gate and apply a pushing /pulling motion with increasing force.
Rev A WGS ConfigurationFlexZone Wireless Gate Sensor Page 15method to simulate a climb intrusion is to actually climb on the fence fabric (you do not have to climb over the fence). Begin the tests on the protected surface at the farthest point away from the GSM. The UCM GSM Status window displays information about the gate sensor modules.

Select the Record button and have the tap tester begin the tests at the farthest point on the gate from the GSM.7. Continue the tap testing moving closer to the GSM and then away from the GSM on the opposite side until the gate has been fully tested. • Each series of 3 taps should cause an alarm.• The tap tests that are farthest away from the GSM should have the lowest magnitude response. If tests closer to the GSM have lower magnitudes, inspect the fence for loose fabric or other issues.• If any of the test taps do not cause a response above the Event Threshold, repeat the tests at that location.• If the repeated tests remain below the Event Threshold, lower the Event Threshold and repeat the tests.• If all of the tests are significantly above the Event Threshold, raise the Event Threshold and repeat the tests.• Continue this process until each series of 3 taps causes an alarm.You can adjust the GSM detection parameters to meet your site-specific security requirements. Once the sensor is setup, calibrated and operational you should monitor the NAR to ensure optimum settings. Minor adjustments to the Target Filters and the Event Threshold can be used to prevent nuisance alarms caused by environmental factors and fence condition.Figure 16: Gate sensor module response plot windowuse the slider to display the signal magnitudeselect the gatemodule to testalarm bell displayswhen alarm occursEvent Threshold(red dotted line)recorded signal response from taptesting
