Planning and Commissioning Manual
ADPRO Passive-Infrared (PIR) PRO Series by Xtralis
Schematic based on “VdS Security Guideline Perimeter VdS3143 (on the authority of VdS, Cologne)”
5.1.2
Applications not Covered
These planning notes describe options that can offer security against hostile outsiders, and
refer to industrial or infrastructure facilities, depending on the risk situation. They do not refer
to the most at-risk facilities such as power stations, including nuclear power stations, military
installations or prisons.
Personal protection measures are not discussed in the course of this policy.
NOTE!
For this, we advise you to call us personally.
5.1.3
Performance Capabilities of Perimeter Security Systems
Because of technology, no perimeter security system can give 100% reliable protection.
Therefore, the operator of the facility must be informed of the performance limits of the
chosen measures.
Since the electronic devices of the perimeter security system are permanently set to the
surrounding environmental conditions, it can sometimes lead to limitations in the
performance capability of the facility if no corresponding countermeasures are taken.
Basically, it can be stated that higher detection sensitivity leads, as a rule, on the one hand
to a very high detection rate (DR), but on the other hand to a high probability of false alarms
with a large false alarm rate (FAR).
One significant value for the quality of perimeter security is the DR/FAR ratio; the closer the
value to 1, the better the quality of the system.
5.1.4
Interoperability with other Security and Safety Systems
Perimeter security systems must be included from the start as part of a comprehensive plan,
to ensure as seamless as possible an interaction of security systems.
If, for instance, intrusion detectors and/or video surveillance cameras are planned or are
already in place, ADPRO detectors can be integrated without difficulty.
