Locating the features and zone boundaries

1.
Conduct a series of 3 tamp tests to create 3 alarms at the Sensor 1 end module (location 0)
(i.e., the start point or 0 footmark of detecting cable). Wait at least 15 seconds between each
test. Record the GPS coordinates and a brief description of the location and the start time of
each test on the calibration sheet. This will be the start point for the first zone.
2.
Proceed along the cable path to the first feature or to the designated end point of the first
zone. Conduct a series of 3 tamp tests to create 3 alarms. Wait at least 15 seconds between
each test. Record the GPS coordinates and a brief description of the location and the start
time of each test on the calibration sheet.
3.
Continue this process until reaching the end of the detecting section of sensor cable for
Sensor 1 (i.e., at the point where the lead cable runs from the perimeter to the sensor unit).
This should also be the start point of the detecting sensor cable for Sensor 2. The tamp tests
at this location should cause alarms on both Sensor 1 and Sensor 2.
4.
Conduct as many tamp tests as required between the perimeter and the sensor unit location to
identify the lead cable for Sensor 1 and Sensor 2.
5.
Return to the beginning of the Sensor 2 detecting cable and continue this process until
reaching the end of the detecting cable for Sensor 2 (Sensor 2 end module, Location n on
Sensor 2).
6.
Go to the Event Logging sub-panel, and record the locations of the alarms that were
generated during the tamp tests. Calculate the average location of each set of 3 tamp tests
(alarms) for each feature and zone boundary location and record the result in the Location/
calibration table.
7.
Make a copy of the completed Location/calibration table and keep it in a safe place (see
Figure 108 Example Location/calibration table (buried cable)
