MACS is an anti- intrusion perimeter system for rigid and semi- rigid fences with metallic panels higher than
1.50 m (4.92 ft) and total height (panel and wall) over 1.70 m (5.57 ft).
Thanks to an accelerometer inside of each sensor and a proprietary algorithm, the system detects and signals
vibrations caused by climbing over the fence and other potentially damaging actions (e.g. attempted removal
of the fence). Furthermore, it distinguishes and filters innocuous vibrations caused by involuntary actions, like
accidental impacts or weather.
Control of the system is divided between two components, the Ethernet board and the Master. The Ethernet
board is the only component of the system to which supply power, the Master and the sensors receive power
supply from the Ethernet board. The system is configured and monitored via the web interface, accessible by
browser.

Applications
The system is suitable for large fences (e.g. military sites, airports, industrial sites, etc.) as well as residential
and commercial sites.
System start-up
System start-up
The sequence of macro- procedures for starting up the system is presented as follows:
1. "Install the sensors" on page18.
2. "Install the Master" on page21.
3. "Install the Ethernet board" on page23.
4. "Initial operations" on page26.
5. "Manage system settings" on page28.
The sensors (MACS-S3H)
Functioning
The sensors detect the vibrations caused by motions of the fence thanks to an accelerometer and send the
signals to the Master via bus. The algorithm recognizes attempts to climb over the fence by filtering out
vibrations caused by accidental impacts or weather.

The Ethernet board performs the following functions:
l Powers the other system components.
l Receives signals from the sensors through the Master.
l Signals alarms to the control unit through outputs.
l Allows configuration of the system through the web interface.

Connection to the Ethernet board
Connection options
Three connection options are available:
l Static IP
l Dynamic IP
l Serial number of the Ethernet board (see "Default settings" below)
The network settings define the enabled connection options and can be modified through the web interface
(see "Manage system settings" on page28).
Consult the network administrator to identify the best configuration.
Default settings
The preset connection options are:
l Static IP: 192.168.0.45
l Controller serial number: printed on the label of the Ethernet board (e.g. macs00000000)
Web interface
Functions
The web interface is used to perform the following functions:
l Configure the sensors.
l Associate the sensors with monitoring zones and alarm outputs.
l Enable/disable the sensors.
l Monitor the system status (sensors, zones, outputs).
l Download the sensor log file.
l Manage the system and network settings.
l Manage the users and relative permissions.
