•
Firmly attach all gate hardware accessories (minimum free-play).
•
Make sure that double gates have travel stops (rigid anchors).
•
Prevent locking hardware from moving in the wind.
•
Prevent sliding gate track hardware, supports, guides, etc., from rattling in the wind.
There are two ways to protect gates with the Senstar LM100 system:
•
•
The wireless gate sensor (WGS),
•
An alternate technology (e.g., a microwave sensor).
Environment
For installations in environments which include hot sunny periods, install a sun shield to protect the
enclosure from direct sunlight, or install the enclosure in a shady area, or indoors. Extra care must
be taken at sites that experience strong winds on a regular basis. The fence must be well-
maintained to prevent any metal on metal contact caused by the wind. Any objects that can make
contact with the fence should be removed from the perimeter. Heavy vegetation (thick weeds,
brush, trees, etc.) should also be kept away from the fence. Vegetation should not touch or hang
over the fence fabric.

Site Survey
Conduct a site survey to ensure that site conditions are suitable, and to determine the number of
luminaires required to cover the perimeter fence. Also include any luminaires that will be used
exclusively for lighting purposes. The primary concern of the site survey is the condition of the
fence and gates.

Indicate the following on the site plan:
•
•
The locations of existing structures (include fences, fence posts, heavy fence posts, gates,
buildings, roads, etc.).
buildings, roads, etc.).
•
The locations of obstacles including vegetation and trees.
•
The length of the fence that is being protected.
•
The number of regular fence posts, heavy gauge fence posts, and the fence post spacing.
•
Add any surface-mounted luminaires required at the site (in addition to fence-mounted).
Equipment layout
Depending on the height of the fence and the desired level of security, a luminaire is attached to
every fence post (3 m spacing) or every second fence post (6 m spacing). Regardless of the
regular spacing, each tension post, corner post and gate support post, should have a luminaire
attached as these types of posts are usually made of thicker steel and have a wider outside
diameter (OD) than regular fence posts. As a result of the heavier construction, these posts tend to
dampen vibrations.

Note
The ambient temperature, as measured inside the gateway enclosure,
must be within the operational range of -40 to +70º C (-40 to +158º F).
