Site planning & design
NOTE: Refer to Appendix b, Application notes for additional information on microwave
site planning and design.
Site preparation
The amount and type of site preparation required depends on the level of security desired. The physical
specifications for a high security detection zone are:
specifications for a high security detection zone are:
•
Transmitter/receiver separation distance no longer than 100 m (328 ft.)
•
Terrain must be level to grade, ± 7.6 cm (3 in.)
•
Terrain finished with crushed rock (2.5 cm {1 in.} max.) to a depth of 10 cm (4 in.) or paved zone completely
void of vegetation
void of vegetation
•
Transmitter/receiver units mounted 61 cm (24 in.) beam centerline (center of antenna) to ground
When physical properties of the detection zone are not within these parameters, the system capabilities are
diminished. High security applications require much more stringent specifications than do applications where
only a beam-break alarm is required. The following definitions should be used to determine the level of security
required:
diminished. High security applications require much more stringent specifications than do applications where
only a beam-break alarm is required. The following definitions should be used to determine the level of security
required:
High Security Zone - detection of intruder stomach-crawling parallel to the beam.
Medium Security Zone - detection of intruder crawling on hands and knees.
Low Security Zone - detection of a walking intruder, vehicles, etc. (Beam-break alarm only).
Site selection
A physical survey of the intended site is essential. During this survey, all physical features of the site should be
noted. Make accurate distance measurements of the area to be protected and draw a rough sketch. Pictures taken
during this survey are also a valuable aid. Most sites may be used if the following parameters are kept in mind:

Line of sight
A clear, direct line-of-sight between the receiver and transmitter units must be maintained at all times. The sensor
system will work best with a long, flat, detection zone.
