FP400 Product Guide
There are two methods of controlling the processors inputs and outputs (I/O) Local control mode
and Remote control mode. In Local control mode, the FP400 operates as a standalone sensor
which communicates alarm and supervision conditions via 6 onboard relays. Alternatively, in
Remote control mode, the FP400 communicates with a security management system (SMS) via
the Silver Network Manager. The SMS uses the outputs as control points, and the inputs to report
the status of auxiliary security equipment.
Silver Network based processors can use Ethernet, EIA-422 copper wire, multi-mode or single-
mode fiber optic cable for alarm data communications. A PC-based SMS, such as Senstar’s Alarm
Integration Module, StarNet 2, or Symphony, can serve as the primary operator interface for an
FP400 system. The FP400 can also communicate with a third party SMS via the Network Manager
Interface. The security management system monitors the sensor, and can report alarms to an
operator on a graphic site-map. The FP400 sensor’s user interface is the Windows-based
Universal Configuration Module (UCM) software, which is used to setup and calibrate the system.
The UCM enables sensor calibration, detection parameter adjustments, system configuration
settings, and real time signal monitoring and recording.
System details
•
fiber optic, fence-mounted outdoor perimeter intrusion detection system
•
uses standard outdoor rated telecommunication grade single-mode fiber optic cable
•
4 independent sensor alarm zones, each with up to 300 m (984 ft.) of sensor cable
•
up to 20 km (12.4 miles) of non-detecting lead-in cable to each sensor zone
•
processor supervision of lead-in cable and detecting cable
•
2 dedicated sensor fibers required for each detection zone
•
additional dark fibers available for other perimeter applications
•
single pass coverage for chain-link and welded mesh fences up to 3 m (10 ft.) high
•
dual pass coverage for higher fences
•
no power required for outdoor sensing components (excluding processor)
•
sensor cable unaffected by lightning, EMI, or electrical transients
•
compact, outdoor rated splice enclosures for start modules, end modules and fiber drop points
•
panel-mount processor (outdoor mounting requires a customer supplied weatherproof field
distribution box)
•
can be mounted on any stable flat surface (vertical or horizontal)
•
rack-mounted on a custom EIA-19 in. equipment rack shelf (p/n F4KT0500)
•
DIN rail mounted (requires DIN rail mounting kit p/n F4KT0600)
•
post-mounted outdoors on, or separate from, the protected fence
Note
The length of each FP400 sensor zone is based on the length of the
detecting sensor cable, not the physical length of the fence.
