Panther II Buried Cable Intrusion Detection Sensor

1. Panther IIBuried Cable Intrusion Detection Sensor Intelligent - Adaptive - Covert - Secure

2. Panther II - Basics Panther II detects intruders with an invisible electromagnetic detection field using ported coax sensor cables and electronics. • Characteristics • Panther II directly responds to specific human intruder characteristics - size, motion and electromagnetic profile • high Probability of Detection (Pd) >99% • Small animals and environmental effects have a much smaller electromagnetic profile and are disregarded • assures low False/Nuisance Alarm Rate (FAR/NAR) • Wide velocity response, high Pd and covertness • provide very low Vulnerability to Defeat.

3. Panther II - Sensing Concept • Panther II processor transmits an “RF” signal via the center conductor of one sensor cable (TX) • RF signal “leaks” out through a “port” in the cable • A second sensor cable acts as a receiver (RX) • RF energy produces an electromagnetic field around both cables: • volumetric & invisible • along the length of the zone • above and below ground • 1 m (3.3 ft.) high and up to 3 m (10 ft.) wide • up to 150 m (500 ft.) long • A single processor covers two zones: • Total perimeter up to 300 m (1000 ft.)

4. Panther II: How human intruders are detected • Humans have large electromagnetic profiles at the RF wavelength transmitted by the processor • Humans moving through the field significantly change the RF signal • TX and RX signals (phase and amplitude) are compared by the processor • processor declares an alarm when a preset threshold is exceeded • Other moving objects with large electro-magnetic profiles will also be detected • e.g., cars, trucks, aircraft

5. Panther II - Why FAR/NAR is naturally low • False alarms are usually equipment generated • Panther II uses field proven detection algorithms and environmentally tested electronics • Nuisance alarms sources are typically small animals and environment • Panther II does not detect small animals and environmental effects because they have small electromagnetic profiles • Panther II completely ignores environmental stimuli that have no electromagnetic profile – grass, sunlight, wind, shadows etc.

6. Panther II - Why VD is very low • Panther II has an invisible detection field • if the sensor cannot be seen it is difficult to determine its location, its sensing technology, and hence, is more difficult to defeat • Panther II has a very wide velocity range • extends from 0.02 to 15 m/s (0.008 to 49 ft./sec.) • widest range of any sensor • Combined effect of high PD, wide velocity range and covertness ensures low VD • better than any other outdoor sensor

7. Panther II - Sensor Cables • SC1 - transmit and receive cables are in one cable jacket • single trench for standard detection field • high density polyethylene jacket with flooding compounds • rugged, abrasion and chemical resistant • standard lengths: • 100, 150 m (328, 492 ft) • cut cable to the desired zone length • Additional Lead-in: 50 m (164 ft) • burial depths: • soil - 23 cm (9 in), concrete - 6 cm (2.5 in) SC1

8. Panther II - Application Considerations • Panther II can be buried in virtually any type of material • sand, clay, topsoil, rock, concrete, asphalt • buried 23 cm (9 in) in soft materials; 6 cm (2.5 in) in hard materials • Panther II can be installed in most any type of terrain • flat, hilly, around corners • Surface may include lawns (including sprinkler systems), crushed stone, including landscaped areas with shrubs, flowers and trees

9. Panther II: Open Perimeters • Total active perimeter length up to 300 m (1000 ft.) • Lead-in from the perimeter to the processor up to 50 m (164 ft.)

10. Panther II: Closed Perimeters • Total active perimeter length up to 300 m (1000 ft.) • Lead-in from the perimeter to the processor up to 50 m (164 ft.)

11. Panther II - Application Guidelines • Panther II is designed for the optimum security clear zone width of 6 m (20 ft) • Sensor cables may be located as close as 3 m (10 ft.) from chain link fences and buildings with normal soils • or closer to rigid weld-mesh or palisade fencing • Sensor cables should avoid puddles or streams • water movement could cause nuisance alarms • Sensor cables should be located 5 m (16 ft) from roads to avoid detecting large vehicles • Microwave or infrared sensors are often used at gate zones

13. Panther II: Application Guidelines (continued) • Sensor cables may cross large non-metallic water pipes by shielding area with sheet metal • Sensor cables may be installed in areas with high voltage power lines (e.g., 400 kV) and where radar and communications devices are located (e.g., airports, military installations) • Panther II operates in a non-communications band • In high lightning incidence areas, external gas discharge lightning arrestors are recommended to further protect electronics • CCTV or other visual means of alarm assessment is highly recommended to confirm alarms and required level of response • Consult Senstar-Stellar for special site application questions.

14. Panther II Indoor Processor • Provides transmitter, receiver and advanced microprocessor for signal processing of two sensor zones • New detection algorithms enhance performance under extreme site and environmental conditions • improved detection field height response • higher immunity to fence noise and heavy rain • Single circuit card design provides: • relay alarm outputs for each sensor zone • Tamper output • Simple connection to local alarm panel • One processor, two zones per site

15. Panther II Indoor Processor • Separate Alarm and Tamper outputs • Test and Reset remote inputs • Calibration outputs to measure sensor cable response over the entire zone length • Local calibration • Power directly: 12 VDC at 500 mA • All units environmentally tested from 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) • Indoor enclosure included
