2. Product description
The dual technology perimeter barrier has two components, one with double optic infrared and
one with 24GHz microwave.
The operation of the two technologies is INDEPENDENT, therefore if you want to use the two
barriers in AND logic, you must make the connection wired or in barrier or in the control unit.
WARNING:In the case of operation in AND, do not activate the fog disqualification function in
the IR section
This barrier is ideal for perimeter protection of internal and external areas.
It is equipped with a system for selecting the operating frequency that allows you to install
multiple barriers on the same site without them interfering with each other.The main features of
this barrier are:
•Adjustable intervention time which allows you to adapt to the characteristics of the site to be
protected;
•Protection beam angle adjustment both vertically and horizontally;
•Set up for mounting on a wall, on a pole and on aluminium columns;
•Optical alignment with viewfinder and signal measurement points;
•Selection of the operating frequency on 4 channels to avoid interference with other barriers;
•Contact signalling barrier opening.
Warnings

MANA DT SMA POLITEC | INSTALLATION MANUAL - VER.3.1
5.1 Preparation of the barrier parts before installation
Since the communication between the barriers can take place wired, via wireless and their alignment
can be done optically, it is advisable to firstly check all the component parts of the barriers and any
accessories before beginning the installation.
5.2 It is advisable to carry out:
•A test of the configuration of the devices in a sheltered or closed environment;
•a check on the operation of the optical and acoustic alignment
•the permanent fixing of each device;
•the preparation and carrying out of electrical connections.
In order to avoid errors, operating and installation problems, it is advisable to proceed as follows:
a) Place all the products with the package open on a table;
b) For the low consumption barrier version for wireless models with universal electronic board
housing, insert and connect the radio transmitter, and connect it to the barrier receiver board
cc) Power up the barriers and program them
d) Test barrier operation;
e) Place (without fixing) the barriers at the planned points;
f) Place (without fixing) all the other devices at the planned points;
g) Check for each barrier that there is sufficient field for radio communication (for wireless versions);
h) Permanently fix the barriers.
Before proceeding with the installation, it is necessary to check the integrity of the product, the
adequacy of the model chosen and the suitability of the environment intended for installation:
• Check that all conditions of use fall within the "limits of use" and in the "Technical specifications of
the product".

10.Evaluations before installation
13 POLITEC | INSTALLATION MANUAL - VER.3.1
10.1 Introduction to barriers - MW microwave section
These barriers are characterised by a24GHz electromagnetic wave emitted by a transmitter that
generates a cigar-shaped zone, until it reaches its receiver, so you are always in the presence of a pair
of columns, the width of which in the centre reaches up to 4-5m.The most peripheral part is called the
SENSITIVE ZONE while the most central part is called the ALARM ZONE
View from above
Signal interruption:ALARM
When a body approaches longitudinally until it crosses the lobe, the signal received by the
receiving section is perturbed until an alarm is generated.
Attenuation can be large or small depending on the mass and type of material that crosses the
emission zone.

10.2 Introduction to barriers - IR section
The Active Infrared Barrier is characterised by two components, a TX transmitter that impulsively
emits an infrared signal, towards the RX receiver.This signal is constantly controlled by aCODED
SYNCHRONISM which can be WIRED or OPTICAL according to the different types of barriers.
The transmitted infrared beam takes on a conical shape: the greater the distance between TX and RX,
the greater the diameter of the cone when it arrives.

TX
Signal interruption:ALARM
A barrier can be composed of several TX transmitters and RX receivers mounted inside specific
different columns.
The infrared barriers have multiple controls that significantly limit false alarms, as the genuine
alarm signal is given by the complete interruption of the infrared signal.
HEATERS
It is recommended to power the thermostating system as, in conditions of high humidity, the
condensation that is created on the screen can lead to a significant decrease in the IR signal up to
the alarm.For obvious reasons, for battery powered barriers, there is no thermostat control even if
set up, therefore to minimise the problem, it is necessary to reduce the working distance between
TX and RX, thus ensuring a good amount of signal constantly, even in case of particular climatic
conditions.
POWER SUPPLY
The barriers can be divided into two categories, powered at low voltage and connected by wire, or
powered by batteries for wireless systems, then combined with radio transmitters to communicate
with the alarm control unit, as required by specific sector regulations.

11.Positioning barriers
15 POLITEC | INSTALLATION MANUAL - VER.3.1
11.1 Precautions before installation - MW section
Before positioning the barriers outside, you must bear in mind that the lobe generated by the
microwave can reach a width of 4-5m depending on the length of the section.
This zone must be completely clear of objects, buildings, vehicles and fences to avoid wave
reflections that would cause abnormal operation with generation of alarms.
MANA DT SMA
It should also be considered that due to the effect of the generated lobe, there is a dead zone in the
immediate vicinity of the columns.It is therefore necessary to make intersections between the
barriers, which cancel any possibility of crossing in said area.It is recommended to always place 2 TX
or 2RX at each intersection, with different frequencies out of the 4 available.

11.2 Precautions before installation - IR section
In order to avoid false alarms, it is advisable to place the barriers away from reflecting surfaces, away
from walls or anything that can attenuate the signal.
DO NOT place the barriers if there are plants, bushes or fixed objects in the range that
obstruct the signal and create "grey areas".Leave a corridor of 50cm for distances between
columns greater than 50m

11.3 Precautions before installation - DUAL TECHNOLOGY
In the previous pages we wanted to represent the basic concepts of IR and MW individually,
highlighting the positive qualities and limitations of the two technologies, leading to the choice of
installing a Dual Technology perimeter protection system.
N.B.The dual technology barrier is always composed of two distinct columns, one with the TX part
and the other with the RX part of each IR and MW section.
The dual technology barrier concept determines the pairing of two different technologies, typically
infrared and microwave, as in this case, which give rise to the alarm condition in AND, i.e. when both
are subjected to a stress and reach the alarm threshold.
If the conditions of correct installation concerning the individual sections are respected:Active Infrared
Beams and Microwave, maximum results are obtained in terms of system operation and reliability.
This leads to the choice of an intelligent dual technology barrier and not because, critical
environmental situations, led to this choice since the barrier basically generates an AND alarm; if the
criticality for one of the two sections actually and permanently exists, this still remains, making the
system weaker.
If, on the other hand, the criticality can prove to be accidental or random due to climatic factors, the
choice of the dual technology barrier offers a significant advantage in terms of reliability in addition to
the considerable reduction of possible false alarms.
E.g.:heavy snow, growth of grass or shrubs moved by strong wind, fog, medium or large objects as well
as vehicles, left unintentionally in the vicinity of the microwave protection lobe etc.
Ultimately:
Each of the two sections must be able to work normally, as if it were on its own.
There should be nothing on the site that could permanently disturb either section.
The combination of the two technologies creates a situation of maximum reliability and security.
It is also recommended:
To manage the AND function in the alarm control unit, having brought the alarm outputs of the
individual sections, in addition to the accessory outputs.This allows the storage of any operating
faults and being able to intervene in a targeted way to solve the problem.
NOTE:The IR section has the S.LOW function, i.e. the disqualification for fog which, if activated, blocks
the alarm relay by not opening the input on the control unit, consequently the system alarm condition
cannot occur when the Microwave section should generate an alarm.It is therefore recommended to
opt for: either not activating this function, which in case of lowering of the signal causes the alarm of
the IR section, or if you want to manage this function, as a signal, typically for the duration of the
weather condition, it is necessary to create the opening of the alarm input, of the IR section on the
alarm control panel.

12.Wiring
18 POLITEC | INSTALLATION MANUAL - VER.3.1
12.1 Type of cable
Wiring must be done using two separate cables.
The first of the electric type (e.g. 3x1.5 mm²) supplies the transformer with 230Vac.
The second one, necessarily of the SHIELDED type (e.g. Nx0.22 mm² minimum) to transfer all the
output signals of the individual columns, to the alarm control unit, in addition to the synchronism
connection between the columns, otherwise made with dedicated cable but always shielded.
N.B.The shielding of this cable must be connected to the negative of 13.8 Vdc of all the columns.
