Wireless Gate Sensor
Description
The Wireless Gate Sensor (WGS) operates in conjunction with the FlexZone processor to provide
RF-based wireless security protection for gates. The WGS is comprised of two components. The
wireless gate sensor module (GSM) a high-sensitivity accelerometer, is attached to the protected
gate. The GSM analyzes signals picked up from the fence fabric on the gate and will transmit an
alarm when it detects vibration, motion, or positional changes. A wireless gate sensor receiver
(GSR) that is mounted on the FlexZone processor receives the transmission and passes on the
alarm signal to the FlexZone processor. Alarm data communications are via the FlexZone
processor over the Silver Network or by conta ct closures.

Note The number of GSMs required to protect a gate varies with the type and
size of the gate being protected. To determine the required number of
GSMs, install one in a central position and test the gate. If the coverag e is
inadequate, install two GSMs at a central height and at 1/3 and 2/3 of the
width and test the gate. Continue this process until your detection
requirements are met (maximum of 4 GSMs per gate).

Installation
The FlexZone Wireless Gate Sensor requires the installation of three devices, a FlexZone
processor, a GSR, and a GSM. In addition, the GS M includes the optio n of connecting an auxiliary
security device like a magnetic contact as an aid for supervision and alarm reporting. The
FlexZone processor serves as the WGS base station. The FlexZone Product Guide (G6DA0102)
includes the installation details for the FlexZone processor.
Installation overview
1. Install the GSR on the FlexZone processor.
2. Install the whip antenna on the FlexZone processor.
3. Install the FlexZone processor.
4. Install the gate sensor module. (If a gate contact is being used in conjunction with the GSM,
install and connect the gate contact.)
Mounting the gate sensor receiver
The GSR mounts onto the expansion header (T2) on the FlexZone processor, either by piggybacking onto the network interface card (NIC) or directly onto the header if the processor does not
include an NIC. The FlexZone processor powers and communicates with the receiver through the
expansion header . F igure 2
illustrates the LED indicators and the antenna connection for the GSR.

Installation Rev A
CAUTION The FlexZone processor, network interface card and receiver all contain
static sensitive components. Follow proper ESD handling p rocedures when
working on the cards.
Disconnect all sources of power to the FlexZone processor before installing
the receiver.
Installing the receiver on the FlexZone processor
1. Remove and retain the mounting hardware from the 2 standoffs on the FlexZone processor
(flat washer, lock washer, machine screw).
2. Align the 20-pin header on the bottom of the receiver with the expansion header on the
FlexZone processor and align the 2 mounting holes on the receiver with the 2 standoffs.
Carefully, insert the receiver into the expansion header. Use the retained mounting hardware
to secure the receiver to the FlexZone processor.
3. Connect the antenna to the receiver (see Figure 2
).

Installing the receiver on an NIC
1. Remove and retain the mounting hardware securing the NIC to the processor (flat wash er,
lock washer, machine screw).
2. Secure the NIC to the FlexZone processor with the 2 supplied standoffs.
3. Align the 20-pin header on the bottom of the receiver with the expansion header on the NIC
and align the 2 mounting holes on the receiver with the 2 standoffs on the NIC. Carefully, insert
the receiver into the expansion header. Use the retained mounting hardware to secure the
receiver to the NIC.
4. Connect the antenna to the receiver (see Figure 2
).

Antenna mounting
The supplied whip antenna is sensitive in the 360º horizontal plane, but has low sensitivity above
and below the antenna. The recommended installation location is centered on the FlexZone
processor enclosure door. The enclosure door provides the largest ground plane, which improves
the antenna’s sensitivity. Enclosure door mounting provides good sensitivity in both directions
down the fence line. Figure 6
supplied whip antenna.
is a cross sectional representation of the antenna pattern for the
It is also possible to mount the rubber whip antenna on the top of the enclosure. However, top
mounting generally results in a reduced maximum range along the fence line due to the smaller
ground plane. However, mounting the antenna on top of the enclosure provides omni-directional
coverage.
1. Locate the center of the selected mounting surface and mark the position of the mounting hole
Figure 6 Cross sectional antenna coverage pattern
Note To mount the antenna on the enclosure door or on the top of the enclosure,
drill a 6.3 mm (1/4 in.) hole in the center of the mounting surface.
Note For top enclosure mounting, remove the processor circuit card from the
enclosure before drilling the mounting hole.
Note The rubber whip antenna provides a good seal when the nut is securely
tightened on the inside of the enclosure. However, a thin bead of outdoor
rated silicone can be added around the base of the antenna to provide
additional protection against water ingress.
