NOTE: The edges of the nominal +/- 45
° azimuth coverage are not sharply defined and
large targets, including vegetation and vehicles beyond this angle may be detected if they
cross through the gates. To minimize nuisance alarms, QUPID sensor locations and
range selections should be carefully chosen to minimize the presence of vegetation or
other large (non-intruder) targets in the range gate areas, even beyond the nominal +/- 45°
coverage. Additionally, to minimize nuisance alarms vegetation height throughout the
three range gates should be maintained lower than 20 to 25 centimeters (8 to 10 inches).

NOTE: Large stationary objects that pass through any range gates (such as fences and
buildings) – even beyond the 45
buildings) – even beyond the 45
° points, may act as a radar “mirror”, causing multiple
reflections or “echoes” of a target. This can produce multiple alarms for a single
intruder, especially once the target is inside of the alarm range (gate C) and close to the
reflector. Large and/or elongated targets (e.g. trucks and large vehicles) may also trigger
multiple alarms.

Sensor alignment: The azimuth coverage of the QUPID sensor is nominally +/- 45
° from
the centerline of the sensor. Care must be exercised in aligning multiple sensors so that
the edges of the coverage patterns overlap between adjacent sensors and are at no more
than +/- 45°.

than +/- 45°.
5.5
Spacing between multiple sensors: The sensor pattern is approximately a 90
o
semi-
circular arc. The maximum spacing between sensors is a function of the range selected at
the sensor. The maximum recommended spacing for each of the three range settings is
shown below in Table 5-2. It may be necessary to reduce the spacing from the maximum
due to uneven terrain, or blockage.
