Installing FiberPatrol
FiberPatrol installation overview
There are ten steps required to complete a FiberPatrol installation:
1. Create a detailed site plan.
2. Deploy the sensor cable along side the fence according to the site plan.
3. Attach the sensor cable to the fence.
Pull the cable through bypass conduit, if required.
Create service loops, isolation loops and sensitivity loops.
Attach cable to protected gates.
4. Make the field splices (excluding the splices required for the end module and start module).
5. Use an OTDR to measure the loss in each spliced fiber from both ends of the sensor cable.
6. Install and connect the sensor unit equipment in the control room.
7. Make the fusion splices for the start and end modules.
8. Set up and configure the system software.
9. Calibrate the system.
10. Test the system to ensure it meets the site’s detection requirements.
11. Put the system into operation.
Laser light safety
Note
The FiberPatrol sensor cable requires professional installation by
qualified personnel who are trained and certified in fiber optic cable
installation to telecom industry standards.
WARNING
FiberPatrol operates with Class 1 laser light levels.
NEVER look directly into the end of a fiber connector.
Ensure that the fiber optic light source is off, BEFORE using a scope to
check a fiber optic connector.
