FAQ IRONCLAD Fence Sensor
Di mana saya harus menghubungkan sistem IRONCLAD?
Pemasangan IRONCLAD sangat mudah. Setiap penganalisis/prosesor LPU menyediakan 2 atau 4 output alarm relai kontak kering (NO/NC), masing-masing satu per zona. Karena ini merupakan output kontak kering standar, output tersebut dapat diintegrasikan dengan hampir semua sistem yang mungkin sudah Anda miliki: panel alarm, CCTV, kontrol akses, sirene, lampu strobo, bahkan alarm kebakaran. Dengan kata lain, IRONCLAD dapat diintegrasikan ke dalam sistem yang sudah ada tanpa memaksa Anda untuk menggantinya.
Berapa panjang pagar yang bisa saya lindungi dengan IRONCLAD?
Berapapun luas perimeter Anda, IRONCLAD dapat disesuaikan untuk menyesuaikannya. Kabel sensor tersedia dalam gulungan berukuran 250 ft (75 m), 500 ft (150 m), dan 1000 ft (300 m). Setiap prosesor memantau hingga 2 zona, sehingga satu set kit dapat mencakup area hingga 2.000 kaki (600 m), dan untuk lokasi yang lebih luas, beberapa set kit dapat digabungkan untuk melindungi seluruh garis pagar. Mulai dari satu gerbang hingga perimeter sepanjang mil, sistem ini berkembang sesuai dengan kebutuhan Anda.
Apakah saya bisa mengatur tingkat sensitivitas Sistem Alarm Pagar IRONCLAD?
Ya, dan itu sangat mudah. Anda dapat menyempurnakan sensitivitas langsung pada LPU (Unit Pemroses Lokal) di 20 tingkat, atau melalui perangkat lunak kalibrasi di 500 tingkat, sehingga sistem diatur secara presisi sesuai pagar dan lingkungan Anda. Tidak diperlukan alat khusus dan latar belakang teknis; jika kebutuhan Anda berubah, Anda dapat dengan mudah menyesuaikannya kembali.
Apakah sistem memerlukan kalibrasi sebelum saya dapat menggunakannya?
No. IRONCLAD menangani bagian yang sulit untuk Anda. Alat ini secara otomatis mengkalibrasi titik acuan, dan setelah itu Anda hanya perlu mengatur tingkat sensitivitas yang diinginkan. Ini adalah sistem plug-and-play sejati: sambungkan catu daya, input sensor, dan output relai, dan Anda pun terlindungi.
Dapatkah angin atau hujan menyebabkan alarm palsu?
Tidak. IRONCLAD hanya mendeteksi getaran tajam berfrekuensi tinggi yang dihasilkan oleh tindakan memotong, memanjat, atau melompati pagar. Angin, hujan, dan hewan kecil umumnya menghasilkan getaran gelombang panjang berfrekuensi rendah yang diabaikan oleh sistem. Inilah perbedaan antara seseorang yang memanjat pagar (terdeteksi) dan angin yang menerpa pagar (tidak terdeteksi). Stasiun cuaca opsional juga dapat mengirimkan data cuaca real-time ke penganalisis untuk mengkompensasi pengaruh angin dan hujan, sehingga menghasilkan tingkat penyaringan alarm palsu yang lebih tinggi.
Dengan jenis pagar apa saja IRONCLAD kompatibel?
IRONCLAD dapat digunakan pada sebagian besar jenis pagar, termasuk pagar rantai, jaring las, dan pagar palisade. Untuk hasil terbaik, pagar harus dalam kondisi baik: utuh, lurus, tegang, dan bebas dari halangan. Jika Anda memiliki pagar logam kaku, kami juga menyediakan solusi untuk itu dengan Kabel Sensor Pagar Kaku Mikrofonik MICALERT.
What should I do if I encounter false alarms or system noise?
Don’t worry, this is almost always an easy fix. Start by confirming the sensor cable is installed snugly with no slack or air gaps, check for any loose connections, keep the fence clear of external noise sources, and add a ground to the negative of the DC power. From there you can fine-tune the sensitivity. And if anything still isn’t right, our team is happy to help you get it sorted.
Where can I buy the IRONCLAD fence-mounted sensor, and how do I choose the right parts?
Choosing the right parts is simpler than it looks, and you won’t have to guess. Our code tables, the Site & System Design Manual, and our team are all here to help you put together exactly the right kit for your fence.
Can the cable be installed on a sliding or swing gate?
Protection of an emergency gate or rarely used can be done by using the gate connector (sold separately), the connector will be connected to the cable at the opening point of the gate to allow the gate to be opened or closed. It’s not recommended to use this connection on often used gates.
A single or double swing gate is protected in the same method.
The sensor cable is looped on the gate, then connected to a junction box RB-RBMCTXT and spliced with an RG6 direct burial to go under the gate, on the other end, it is spliced back to a sensor cable and looped on the other side of the gate.
On the hinges, enough sensors need to be left to allow it to move freely with the gate opening and closing so the cable won’t stretch or bend sharply.
Sliding gates can be treated in 2 ways
1. Bypass the gate and put a motion sensor across the gate to protect the crossing.
2. Use the RBtec sliding gate kit. A sliding gate is designed for light to medium traffic gates. Heavily used gates with hundreds of openings a day must be protected with another technology, such as a camera or motion sensor.

How long does it take to install the IRONCLAD on a fence?
Installation is quick and predictable: typically about 1 hour per 300 ft (100 m) of cable. Following the step-by-step installation guide makes the process simple and ensures everything performs as it should. Log in to download the IRONCLAD Installation Manual
Can the cable be shortened/cut/spliced?
Yes, the cable is flexible to your fence, not the other way around. While it’s sold in fixed spool lengths, you can cut it to any length you need. It’s a simple 2-conductor copper wire, so customizing the run to your site is easy.
Do I need a different cable to bypass a gate?
Not at all. If you’d prefer to bypass a gate entirely instead of using the RBtec gate connector, you can simply run direct-burial RG6 as a non-sensitive conduit through that section. It’s a clean, simple solution.
If the cable gets cut, can it be repaired?
Absolutely, and it takes only about 30 seconds. RBtec’s repair kit (RB-RBMCTXT) bridges the cut in a fully weatherproof way, so performance is maintained. The repair box installs right at the cut point, the sensor cable connects to screw terminals on each side, and your system is back up and running with no need to replace the whole run.

Basic Guide to Troubleshooting False Alarms in IRONCLAD Security Systems
Many times, false alarms in security systems like IRONCLAD are not merely due to sensitivity settings but are often caused by technical issues with the system or its surroundings. Lowering the sensitivity frequently doesn’t solve the underlying issue but merely masks it. Therefore, it’s crucial to systematically investigate and address potential technical and environmental factors contributing to false alarms.
Ensure the fence is in good condition – fully intact, straight, under tension, and free of obstructions. Loose signs or debris can cause false alarms.
Verify the sensor cable is properly installed – it should be attached mid-height, run parallel to the ground, and have no slack. Ensure ties are secure but not over-tightened.
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.
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.
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.
Check the power source for noise. Ground the negative of the DC voltage to eliminate noise from the power source. If this doesn’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.
Assess the fence’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.
Conduct regular system tests to ensure proper operation and adjust sensitivity levels as needed.
This comprehensive approach should effectively help you identify and address the source of false alarms in your IRONCLAD system.
