Long Range Wireless Perimeter Alert

Long Range Wireless Perimeter Alert
Long Range Wireless Perimeter Alarm is a more serious professioanl fence and perimeter alarm solution. This Wireless fence line and property motion alert protects your family and property from intrusion because it allows you to monitor much greater areas (spans more than 300m) of flat ground with a detection security beam. Now you can wirelessly monitor boundary fences or completely surround your home or implement sheds with powerful infra-red beams.

Wireless Gate Alert Pro is supplied with a 4 zone receiver as standard. Four Zone Base Receiver allows you to monitor up to 4 beam-sets to the one receiver. You can mix and match beam-sets from our shorter range kits if desired.

This model also offers far greater wave connectivity range because it utilizes high-gain external antennas – this allows connectivity ranges of up to 3000m.
When ordering, you have the option of upgrading from a standard external whip antenna to a long range Megabeam antenna. The two antenna options give maximum ranges of 1000m and 3000m respectively. These ranges are obstacle dependent. Range will be reduced significantly if there are a lot of trees, sheds and other things in the way.

Two-way Radio Supervision and On-board Diagnostics (displayed on Base Receiver) are features alarm installers routinely expect on wireless equipment – this unique feature we never seen in other gate alert yet.

PRO beam-sets project a powerful detection beam over a distance of more than 300m, allowing intruders to be detected entering property boundaries or wandering around large outdoor sites such as a construction-sites.

Up to 4 beam-sets may be monitored to one base receiver (which would typically be located in your home to provide an audible alert) and you can mix smaller beams with PRO beams if you only need a shorter beam in some locations. (our smaller beams cover 35m maximum)

PRO beam-sets are solar-battery powered (no costly cabling) and only require a relatively small solar panel connected to each beam-unit to maintain full battery charge year-round.

New Rapid Deployment Version
We also offer a battery only version of the long range Perimeter Security Beam systems.  Rapid deployment doesn't require any solar panel as it's battery powered. Ideal for temporary building and Construction sites, large outdoor venues or any other area with constantly changing boundaries.

Connect other devices …

If you need notifications whenever you are away from your home, you can connect a text messaging (SMS) module to the base receiver. This works on 3G and 4G and will text any kind of phone. (no IT expertise needed and the modules are sent “plug and play”)

The base receiver can also be used to drive “police” strobe lights which have proven to be a powerful psychological deterrent to intruders. Some farmers prefer to operate floodlights, which is of course also possible. Generally this would require a second base receiver in the building the floodlights are mounted on, along with a daylight sensor or 24-hour timer.

If you are an electronic security integrator you will be pleased to know the base receiver has 4 separate zone outputs for interfacing with alarm panels. (you will require a 4-relay board to provide dry contacts for EOL resistors)

A note about range …

PRO perimeter alarm systems are manufactured in two wireless protocols, one is for medium-short range applications (FSK protocol) and the other is for longer range (XR-LoRa protocol)

A High gain antenna may be connected to a beam-sets whenever more range is needed than is indicated on the product reference guides, or when the site presents challenges unfavourably affecting range such as dense native bush or a hill. In these cases the XR-LoRa protocol should be be selected so you have the most powerful hardware to begin with. An antenna would be more commonly deployed at the base receiver rather than a specific beam-set so that range is universally boosted.

How the detection beam works …

The image below shows how the projected IR beam has a divergence angle that ensures the receiving beam-unit (called the “Beam-communicator”) is always “seeing the projected spot” unless poorly aligned. Some movement is tolerated because of the beam divergence. In reality the cone-shaped beam does not have a sharply defined boundary – the beam gradually weakens radially outward from the centre until it is too weak to be received.

Base Receiver
The Four-zone Receiver supplied with Wireless Gate Alert Pro beam-sets, sounds an alarm whenever one of the beams is interrupted. The beeping sequence is different for each zone so the zone can be easily identified audibly. There is also a zone light that continues flashing after a while it was activated. The receiver has 4 different volume levels and each zone may be independently muted if required.

It also has four separate outputs that are mapped to each zone – this means other devices such as sirens or an alarm panel can interface with the receiver via a terminal block located on the rear of the enclosure. Maximum current for an output is around 300mA.

4 mute buttons that control the alert sound for each zone are also able to be individually control these 4 output. You can see at a glance which zones have their sound muted and which zones have their output de-activated.

Located next to the terminal block is a gold SMA aerial connector for an indoor antenna (supplied) or an outdoor Yagi antenna (optional) If many kilometers of range are required you can utilize Yagi antennas at both the beam-set and the base receiver ends of the installation.

The Four-zone Receiver is powered with a supplied 12V AC Adapter.

BEAM-SET
Each beam-set is made up of two beam Units, the ‘beam emitter’ and the ‘beam communicator’ and are installed directly facing each other up to 300m apart.  An infra-red beam is transmitted from one and received by the other.  Whenever the security beam is broken, the beam-communicator sends an RF signal to the Base Receiver, alerting to a possible intruder in the area.

The Wireless Gate Alert Pro Security beam system is designed to monitor a 300m stretch of open ground with its precise invisible infra-red beam.  There are three beam-strength settings inside the emitter unit.  For example, if you are only covering a 60m stretch of land you may want to select the lowest of the three settings particularly if the beam emitter is in shady spot where solar power is lower.

The Beam-set is powered by internal rechargeable batteries. The batteries are kept charged via small mountable solar panels. These batteries are relatively easily removed for replacement. There are no problem if the solar panels are not connected to maintain a daily charge, the batteries have around 8-10 days of storage capacity– in a real situation the solar panels would always be connected.

Beam alignment has been carried out without the aid of any special technology in test installations along straight fence lines, with minor fine tuning performed after the initial estimated positioning. However a small laser pointer is supplied for alignment assistance.  Regardless of what reference is used for the initial alignment, a ‘fine tuning’ procedure should always be carried out to ensure the two beam units are in fact correctly aligned. This will avoid needless false alarms.

Solar Panels
Each Beam-set contains two solar panels, each measuring 125mm x 65mm. The Beam-set batteries charged with these solar panels, even in year-round overcast conditions and even work in the United Kingdom. Our solar panels have been treated specifically to withstand salt spray and harsh UV rays.

Antenna Options
It would be more likely that longer radio connectivity would be required on a property so we decided an external antenna was in order for the Pro beam-set, therefore two options are available for each beam-set; a whip antenna or a Yagi antenna.

The whip antenna provides up to 1km of range while the Yagi provides up to 3km of range.  The whip antenna comes with a few meters of cable.  The Yagi comes with 12m of cable allowing it be mounted much further away from the beam communicator or indeed much higher.

Antennas connect to the ‘Beam-Communicator’ on its underside via a small gold SMA connector.  This fitting must be fitted with sealing product supplied to prevent corrosion damage.

The Yagi antenna is a UHF type very similar to common telemetry antennas that are seen nationwide on the likes of civil water tanks and weather stations, and therefore does not look out of place in a rural setting.
