LEDs:
EachVIB200hasthreeLEDs–Green,AmberandRed.TheseLEDsindicate
theresponseofthesensortoimpactsorcutstothefence.
GreenLED‐TheGreenLEDwillindicatethattheVIB200hasreceiveda
signalfromtheimpactandwillprocessthatsignaltoqualifyitasavalid
event.IftheGreenLEDdoesnotflashduringavalidattackuponthe
fence,thesensitivityoftheVIB200mustbeincreased,orthedistance
betweenthesensorsreduced.Also,ifthereisasteadywindorthe
fenceisvibratingasifthereisasteadywindthentheGreenLEDwillnot
illuminateunlesstheimpactexceedsthevibrationduetowind.Note:
DisconnectpoweraftereachtesttoresetLEDfunction,seebelow
TESTING.
YellowLED–TheYellowLEDwillindicatethattheVIB200hasqualifieda

flashduringavalidattackuponthefence,thesensitivityoftheVIB200
mustbeincreased,orthedistancebetweenthesensorsreduced.

SELECTINGTHESENSORSENSITIVITYFORYOURFENCE:
EachVIB200Sensorhasfoursensitivitysettings‐HighSensitivitywith
WindMode,LowSensitivitywithWindMode,HighSensitivityandLow
Sensitivity.Abuiltinmicroprocessorcountsandtimesthepulses
generatedbyanimpacttothefence.Thedifferentsensitivitiesallowyou
toselectanalarmoutputspecifictoyourfencethatmatchesupwiththe
quantityofpulsesanddurationofpulsesofavalidattack.
Inordertoselectthedesiredsensitivityforyourfence,therearetwo
removableJumpers,JP1‐BandJP1‐C.TheJumpersallowyoutoselect
fromthefourpre‐programmedalarmsensitivities.

RemovepowertotheVIB200SensorpriortochangingJumpers.Once
Jumpersareputbackinthedesiredpositionreconnectpower.
Choosingthesensorsensitivitydependsuponthequalityofthefence‐
looseortight,heavyorlightlinkgauge,oldornew,theheightofthe
fence‐short5ft.toregular6‐8ft.totall>8ft.andthesurrounding
environment‐remoteorpublic,protectedorwindy.Selectingthe
sensitivityisabalancebetweengeneratinganalarmoutputuponavalid
attacktothefenceandfilteringoutnuisanceevents.Onanewtightfence
ofregularheight,thesensorwillworkwellwithalowsensitivitysetting.
Onalooseorolderfence,theVIB200willworkbestwithahighsensitivity
setting.Highsensitivitysettingscanbeselectedforremoteareaswithno
publicaccessbutlowsensitivitysettingsarebetterforfencesadjacentto
publicareas.
Inadditiontotworegularsensitivitysettings,HighandLow,theVIB200
hastwosensitivitysettingswith“WindMode”.InWindModetheVIB200
measuresvibrationonthefenceduetowindoraconstantvibration
sourceandmeasuresanimpactduetoclimbingorcuttingagainstthis
constantvibration.InWindModethesensitivityoftheVIB200sensorwill
decreasewithanincreaseinwind.Forthisreasonthetwosensitivity
settingswithWindModearelesssensitivethanthetwosettingswithout
WindMode.Ifthefencethatisbeingprotectedisinaclearareawith
windthenselectoneofthesensitivitysettingswithWindMode.Ifthe
fenceisinanareawithlittlewindorprotectedbyotherbuildingsthen
chooseoneoftheregularsettings.

TESTING:
WiththeVIB200mountedtothefenceandthecoverremoved,selectthe
sensitivitywithJumpersJP1‐BandJP1‐Cpertheguidelinesabove.Hook
upa9Vbatterytothesensor.Testtheabilityofthesensortodetect
impactsandclimbsatthedesiredrange(30to50feet).Movethesensor
tovariouspartsofthefenceandtest.TheLEDswillalertyoutothe
responseofthesensor.OneoftheuniqueaspectsoftheFlairVIB200is
thateachindividualsensorcanbetunedtoaparticularfencesection.
Oftenthequalityofthefencecanvaryfromonesectiontothenext.
DecreaseorincreasethesensitivityofthesensorbychangingJumpers
JP1‐BandJP1‐Ctogenerateanalarmuponthedegreeofimpact/attack
tothefenceyouwanttoidentify.Agoodruleofthumbistoselecta
sensitivitythatgeneratesanalarmatthe3rdor4thstepinaclimb.Atthis
sensitivitythesensorshouldnotgenerateanalarmatasingleimpactto
thefence.
Whentestingwithabattery,youmustdisconnectthebatteryfromthe
sensoraftereachtestinorderforthesensorcounterandtimertoreset.
Thecounterswillalsoresetoncethesensorproducesanalarmoutput
andtheREDLEDflashes.Don’tforgettodisconnectthebatterywhen
changingthesensitivitysettingalso.
Onceyouhaveselectedanappropriatesensitivityandsensorspacing,
mountallofthesensorstothefenceandwiretopowerandalarm
control.Atanytime,thesensitivityofoneormoreoftheVIB200sensors
maybechangedtotunethemtoaparticularsectionoffenceordesired
response.
