Maintenance/Troubleshooting

Maintenance

The Intelli-FLEX system requires minimal maintenance to ensure proper 
operation. However, setting up and following a maintenance schedule based on 
your site-specific requirements can ensure proper detection performance, 
prevent nuisance alarms and extend the operational lifetime of the system. The 
frequency at which the maintenance should be scheduled depends on your 
security requirements and on the installation environment. This section includes 
the recommended maintenance activities along with suggested intervals.

1. Perform a visual inspection of the installation (once per month). 

•

fence condition - ensure the fence is in good condition and that there are 
no loose panels, loose fittings or metal bits that can move with the wind 
and cause nuisance alarms (a shake test in which you grip the fence fabric 
in the middle of a panel and gently shake it with an increasing motion can 
help identify any loose pieces) 

•

there are no washouts or depressions under the fence

•

vegetation beside and above the fence is cut back and cannot make 
contact with the fence

•

the sensor cables are held snugly against the fence fabric and the cable 
ties are holding the cable securely in place

•

there is no loose sensor cable

•

connectors and terminator enclosures are properly mounted according 
to the installation instructions

•

there is no corrosion or moisture inside the processor enclosure

2. Physically test the system (once per week).

•

use a screwdriver to simulate a cut intrusion and verify a cut alarm is 
declared
