Lowering the sensitivity frequently doesn&#8217;t solve the underlying issue but merely masks it. Therefore, it&#8217;s crucial to systematically investigate and address potential technical and environmental factors contributing to false alarms.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Check Fence Condition<\/strong>: Ensure the fence is in good condition &#8211; fully intact, straight, under tension, and free of obstructions. Loose signs or debris can cause false alarms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inspect Sensor Cable Installation<\/strong>: Verify the sensor cable is properly installed \u2013 it should be attached mid-height, run parallel to the ground, and have no slack. Ensure ties are secure but not over-tightened.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Examine Cable and Connections<\/strong>: Look for any damaged or loosely connected sections of the sensor cable. Ensure all end-of-line terminations are correctly installed as per the manual.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Measure Sensor Wire Resistance<\/strong>: Disconnect the sensor wire from the LPU and measure its resistance. The proper resistance should match the end-of-line resistor, which is typically 1M ohm. A discrepancy indicates issues with the sensor wire or connections.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Review Sensor Calibration<\/strong>: Check if the sensor sensitivity is set appropriately. Overly sensitive settings can lead to false alarms. Use the LPU-400 calibration software to adjust if necessary.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Test Power Source<\/strong>: Check the power source for noise. Ground the negative of the DC voltage to eliminate noise from the power source. If this doesn&#8217;t resolve the issue, test the system with a 12V DC battery. If using a battery solves the problem, consider permanently grounding or replacing the power supply.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Environmental Factors<\/strong>: Assess the fence&#8217;s surroundings for elements that could trigger false alarms, such as loose signs, items hitting the fence during windy conditions, metal-to-metal rattling, heavy branches slapping the fence, loose barb wires, cables, or any other items hung on or near the fence. These factors can physically interact with the fence and contribute to false alarms, especially in adverse weather conditions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Periodic System Testing<\/strong>: Conduct regular system tests to ensure proper operation and adjust sensitivity levels as needed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This comprehensive approach should effectively help you identify and address the source of false alarms in your IRONCLAD system.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \t<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"  style=\"height: 25px\" ><span\n\t\t\tclass=\"vc_empty_space_inner\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"empty_space_image\"  ><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Have any other questions? please contact us at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:Info@rbtec.com\">Info@rbtec.com<\/a><br \/>\nFor tech support call +1-480-442-3411<\/h2>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Demo About the IRONCLAD Fence Mounted Sensor Detection Algorithm Demonstration Where to do I connect the IRONCLAD system?
