World dzԹ,
Senstar, the worlddzԹs largest manufacturer of perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS) is pleased to announce FiberPatrol-PL, an advanced security system for buried pipelines, optimised to detect third-party interference (TPI).
FiberPatrol-PL is the latest addition to SenstardzԹs renowned FiberPatrol intrusion detection systems, which have been protecting critical infrastructure around the world since 2009.
FiberPatrol-PL uses fibre optic cable buried along the pipeline to detect and locate ground vibrations and acoustic signatures associated with TPI activity.
A single FiberPatrol-PL processor can detect and locate TPI over a distance of up to 72 km (45 miles) and within 10 m (33 ft) accuracy.
dzԹFiberPatrol-PL provides the longest protection per single processor currently on the market, addressing one of the biggest issues to effectively securing pipelines dzԹ covering long distances between above- ground infrastructure locations where electronic equipment can be installed,dzԹ said SenstardzԹs Product Manager Stewart Dewar. dzԹNo electronics, power, communications infrastructure or grounding points are required for spans of up to 72 km (fiber distance), making FiberPatrol-PL a cost-effective solution for long pipelines.dzԹ
FiberPatrol-PL detects TPI activity that threatens pipeline integrity: machine or manual digging, heavy machinery operating nearby, and even people walking in the vicinity of the pipeline. The systemdzԹs advanced detection algorithms optimise the detection of TPI activity while rejecting nuisance alarms. It can also reject vibrations caused by traffic on roads and railways running parallel or perpendicular to the pipeline.
