Recommended maintenance
The Senstar LM100 system requires minimal maintenance to ensure proper operation. However,
setting up and following a maintenance schedule based on your site-specific requirements can
ensure proper detection performance, prevent nuisance alarms and extend the operational lifetime
of the system. The frequency at which the maintenance should be scheduled depends on the
site’s security requirements and on the installation environment. This section includes the
recommended maintenance activities along with suggested intervals.

1. Perform a visual inspection of the installation (once per month). Check for the following:
•
fence condition - ensure the fence is in good condition and that there are no loose panels,
loose fittings or metal bits that can move with the wind and cause nuisance alarms (a
shake test in which you grip the fence fabric in the middle of a panel and gently shake it
with an increasing motion can help identify any loose pieces)

•
there are no washouts or depressions under the fence
•
vegetation beside and above the fence is cut back and cannot make contact with the
fence or the luminaires, and there is no debris or loose material close to the fence
fence or the luminaires, and there is no debris or loose material close to the fence
•
there are no loose clamps; each luminaire is held tightly against the fence post
•
power cables are neatly installed and are held securely by the cable ties
•
there is no corrosion or moisture inside the gateway enclosure
•
the ground connection is tight
•
there are no vehicles or equipment close enough to the fence to be used as bridging aids
2. Physically test the system (once per week).
•
use a screwdriver to simulate a series of cut intrusions and verify that alarms are declared
and accurately located each time

•
climb the fence at several locations and verify that alarms are declared and accurately
located each time
located each time
3. Record a UCM LM100 response plot (quarterly).
Connect the UCM to the gateway and record a sensor response plot while conducting tap
tests along the protected fence. Note the environmental conditions at the time of the recording.
Review the plot to examine the response and the ambient noise level, and compare the plot to
any previously recorded plots. Depending on the weather conditions, the recorded plots
should be quite similar. During inclement weather the noise level will be higher, and during
good weather with very little wind, the noise level should be extremely low.
