SOLARIS is an ideal solution for sites that require high-security perimeter surveillance with minimal infrastructure, cost-effectively:

• utilities / sub-stations / control centers
• nuclear plants
• correctional facilities as a secondary layer of perimeter protection
• logistics sites / storage and warehousing
• car dealerships
• industrial complexes, etc.

Barriers must be installed on a stable support. Check that ground is level and will ensure stability of the columns over time.

A maximum of 10° elevation may be tolerated between the columns. In case of elevation above 10°, contact PROTECH’s sales department.

Beams must be free of vegetation coverage regardless of the season and weather condition (wind). If solar panel is covered by vegetation, it must be placed remotely.

Covers and solar panels require cleaning with a soft and damp cloth at least once a year.

The radio coordinator must be installed outside, towards the middle of the protected perimeter and as high as possible.

Check that anti-condensation/anti-frost caps are installed to ensure that the SOLARIS barriers are working at all times.

Infrared technology operates at a wavelength above that of visible light (950nm), which makes the IR beam invisible to the naked eye.

IR beams are transmitted and received by infrared cells – transmitter cells generate and send a pulsed beam to the receiver cells which capture infrared pulses and turn them into electrical signals. When an absence, loss or change in the signal occurs (loss of 95% of the transmitted signal), an intrusion alarm is triggered. To prevent interference of receiver cells by the infrared beams being transmitted, cells are multiplexed.

Multiplexing is a principal whereby infrared pulses are transmitted in a synchronized manner by an optical or wired link between transmitter and receiver towers. This feature optimizes cell alignment (“alignment feedback”). All the PROTECH IR barriers are multiplexed.
