Lightning protection
Silver Network based FP400 sensors using IP-based communications sometimes include outdoor
runs of Ethernet cable. In some cases, it is desirable to add external surge protectors to the comm
link for lightning protection. The following surge protectors have been tested and approved for use
with Senstar IP-based sensors.

Site survey
The first step in installing a Senstar FP400 fence protection system is to conduct a detailed site
survey. The survey assesses the site conditions to determine the specific installation requirements
including the fence type, fence condition, fence length, zone layouts, sensor cable route, non-
detecting lead-in cable length, length of sensor cable required to cover the perimeter, and the
location for the processor.
Create a scale drawing of the site (e.g., CAD drawings), which indicates the locations of:
•
head end equipment - FP400 processor, power supply and SMS
•
fences (include type, length and condition)
•
gates (include type and size)
•
buildings and other structures
•
roads, driveways, sidewalks, paths, parking areas
•
trees, bushes, dense vegetation (near perimeter)
•
non-detecting lead-in cable
•
detecting sensor cable
•
other existing or planned security equipment (e.g., CCTV cameras, security lighting, etc.)
