Tempe, Arizona – Southwest Microwave continues aggressive expansion of its suite of INTREPID™ intelligent perimeter detection systems with the launch of the INTREPID UniZone™ Plug-and-Deploy Fence Detection Sensor in advance of ISC West 2016 in Las Vegas. Offering unprecedented ease of use, UniZone is a high-performance, standalone intrusion sensor designed to reliably and cost-effectively protect smaller critical infrastructure sites vulnerable to terror attack, sabotage, asset theft or liability risk.
Based on Southwest Microwave’s field-proven MicroPoint™ smart-sensor technology and designed to perform in harsh outdoor environments, UniZone protects up to 200 linear meters of fence line. Engineered for quick, easy installation and programming, the system is driven by a UniZone sensor mounted to the fence or in a nearby control room, connected to a length of MicroPoint sensor cable tie-wrapped to the fence or topper to detect cut or climb attacks. Advanced shielding and surge protection make it ideal for lightning-prone sites or those with high electromagnetic or RF interference.
As a plug-and-deploy detection sensor, the UniZone set-up process is simple. The installer uses a laptop USB connection to configure and calibrate the system via user-friendly Installation Service Tool software. LEDs on the sensor identify power input, alarm status, fault notification and sensor disturbance, while isolated, on-board relay contacts provide intrusion monitoring and fault alarm indication.
