1. GENERAL INFO
1.1. DESIGN
MAMBA perimeter system is primary designed to secure perimeter of the objects, especially fences. It can be used for
underground installation, concrete walls, the protection of solid objects such as solar panels etc.
This alarm system generates an alarm when intruder trying to overcome a fence or any attempt of intrusion. System
also testing constantly overall integrity of the cable (disconnection, short-circuit).
The sensor is typically mounted directly to the fence or fence posts (see. Chapter 1.4 Installation requirements and
procedures). Sensing cable is securely fastened to the fence using a plastic or metal cable ties. The number of strips is
an important parameter for the overall system behaviour and sensitivity. Generally: smaller number of the strips is
used to fix the cable it will decrease the sensitivity of the system and it may cause false alarms.
System is proofed a recommended to use with shielded cable category 5 – it means cable “FTP Cat 5E“ or “STP Cat
5E“. They can also be used in other types of communication cables that are suitable for its characteristics particularly
resistance in an outdoor environment and also their construction. The system also supports a special kind of sensing
cable called “vibrocable” which is typically used for fixed concrete fences or underground installations. Vibrocable and
other non-recommended cable consult with your supplier.
Sensor contain two different kind of outputs - Alarm (burglar alarm) and two outputs Tamper (disruption of integrity
of the cable, alarm from tilt detector, low voltage etc.).
Package content:
Do not connect detection cable directly to the Mamba unit, use non-sensitive cable connected in the junction box
(see. Figure 1 - Diagram of the system). Non-sensitive cable is typically a coaxial cable type RG59 without aluminium
foil shielding. Best non-sensitive cable is the RG59 cox with cooper mesh dielectric shielding.
Do not stress cable when crossing fence posts (see. Fig. 3). In this case, leave the cable non-
stressed due to dilatation of the cable and the movement of blocks of the fence.
Make sure that non-sensitive cable RG59 is hidden and possibility of sabotage is eliminated to
the minimum.
2. FENCES
There is possibility to use standard mounting method in most cases for the wired fences. If you would like to install
system to the concrete or other solid fence, please contact producer or distributor to discuss installation method.
Wired fence has to be strong around the complete perimeter and the strips has to be stressed everywhere in the
same tension. Try to keep same installation condition in full length of the fence.
Individual segments of the fence must be stable also between each other. Sensitive cable must never be free - always
has to be firmly attached to the fence.
When the system is properly installed, the alarm is generated when the fence is deformed, such as an attempt to
overcome or any other attack.
Within elimination of false alarms try to secure the fence to prevent movement in the wind.
3. INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Do not install the system in bad weather condition with high humidity (rain and snow). It is very important not to
leave the stripped cable in water and is necessary to avoid any penetration of humidity into the cable. In these cases
are helpful usage of lubricant, which prevents the penetration of moisture and displaces it.
If you want to increase system robustness against sabotage place sensor in another plastic or metal junction box. It is
also possible to fit it into other elements of the system (emergency button, backup
power supply, the source backup, security system concentrator, etc.) - see. Fig. 6.

3.2. CABELING
For wire fences manufacturer recommends using a standard shielded cable FTP Cat 5E for outdoor use with resistance
to UV radiation. For fixed fences and underground installation is necessary to use special VIBRO cable.
Use the special joints for connecting cables and sensor MAMBA.
There are two types of cable connectors. The first is for transform sensitive cable to non-sensitive and the second type
is for terminating of cable.
Cable joint (see.Fig.9) is designed to transform sensitive cable (FTP Cat5) to non-sensitive (RG59). It can be also used
for repairing a damaged cable.
CABLE CONNECTION
CABLE TERMINATION
For the termination of the cable, use the provided cable joint. For termination (balancing) use the supplied cable
termination element (resistor) and connect it between the shield and the centre wires (signal and ground).

Switch no. 1 is used for main level of sensitivity. If switch is ON – sensor working in HIGH level of sensitivity. This
sensitivity is used mainly for solid fences.
Switch no. 3 switching ON / OFF reed relay on mainboard, which is connected in serial with output NC2. Connection of
the reed relay is fixed by hardware connection and it is not possible to change it by control software. If you do not
need to use reed relay - toggle Switch no.3 to ON position.
Switch no. 4-8 are used for settings of BUS address. This is described in the following table:

ROTARY SWITCH
To accurately sensitivity settings, use the rotary switch 0-9. To set the lowest sensitivity set to 0 and the highest
sensitivity in the range, set 9. If you change sensitivity in the control software, system will store this setting up to next
change using a rotary switch. The last position is always written into an EPROM - whether hardware or software.
To set the detection methods for different types of fences and installing it is necessary to use the programming
software (see. Chapter 4. Programming SW)
The device has a built-in alarm signal level, which will be very helpful for set up of the system. To activate it, turn DIP
switch no. 2 to the ON position.
1 Extra sensitivity
2 Activation of test mode
3 Switch ON / OFF reed relay on mainboard
4-8 Address for RS485 BUS
In this mode, the following LEDs on the board has different meaning:
AL Alarm
T1 Prealarm
T2 Not used in test mode
Green Not used in test mode
Resistance to strong winds can be observed in the test mode in windy weather. The signal level indicator should
remain spontaneously in the wind at more than 3 pieces of signal. You can check in the windy weather also the
stability of the tension mesh fence and stability of all parts of the fence. Remove the mechanical deformation of
the cable.
When the power supply is connected – first is green LED light, then blink yellow and finally red LED.
Now is a slight delay (about 1 second) tested the integrity of the sensor and cable.
If the cable is connected, integrity of the cable is OK and is properly terminated, after a while, the yellow LED goes
out.
If the sensor is working properly, the red LED will also be illuminated for approximately one second.
Now is system ready for use.
The described behaviour is valid if the sensor in the factory setting. The control software can change the
configuration of fault LEDs. Setting fault diodes is derived from the software settings.
The described behaviour is valid if the sensor in the default factory setting. The control software can change the
configuration of trouble LEDs. Software settings can change status of trouble diodes.

1. Connection settings – you can set the parameters of the serial port for connection in this section. If you
connect locally or via RS485, locate the transmitter in the list of loaded devices. The software automatically
detect all devices connected to your computer. This procedure working only when the software starting, so
your converter has to be connected to a PC before start of the software.
Setting the address of the sensor is described in chapter 3.3. Controls
Speed of communication BUS is in default set to 19 200 Baud – do not change this setting. Is necessary to set
right address on RS485. This setting has to be realized by hardware DIP switch 4-8.
2. Connection to the sensor – Press Connect to connect the sensor and the software automatically retrieves all
values from the sensor EPROM memory. After this operation, all settings in the menu start to available and
status of the sensor will be displayed.
WARNING!!!
All the values that you set in control software, rewrite manually adjusted values of the rotary switch on the
mainboard. And opposite - Each additional manual change on the rotary switch rewrites the software set
parameters. The software always reads the last set values from EPROM memory either HW or SW.

1. Detection TAB – In this section you can set the sensor detection algorithm for the particular type of
installation:
WIRED FENCE – this setting is right for most types of the flexible fences.
SOLID FENCE – Sensitive algorithm for fences with minimal cable deformation
SOLAR PANELS – To protect permanently installed objects - e.g. Solar panels to protect against
tampering and disassembling
UNDERGROUND INSTALLATION – This option is suitable for most sensitive installations and
making a change to the very sensitive detection algorithm that can detect even minor changes
and is therefore suitable for special applications in underground installations. In these types of
installations are used extra sensitivity DIP switch no. 1.
Setting of sensitivity of tilt detector (accelerometer) – tilt detector detects the tilt and removal of surface-
mounted, for example, in applications where the detector is connected by non-sensitive cable. Sensitivity can
be adjusted by moving the slider to the desired position - writing to memory start automatically.
You can adjust minimal power in the pop-up menu. You can define low level of power voltage, which activate
trouble output. This feature reduce the sensitivity adjust the digital input, the percentage sensor reduces its
sensitivity to input activation. Operating voltage range of the sensor is define in section 1.3 TECHNICAL
FEATURES AND CONDITIONS – writing to memory start automatically after selecting value in the menu.
You can adjust reducing of sensitivity in the pop-up menu digital input. Activation is performed by
connection terminal DI and PWR terminal (-). Writing to memory start automatically after selecting value in
the menu.
3. Tampers TAB:
There is possibility to define activation events for tamper outputs NC2 and NC3 in this tab. You can split the
events for the both outputs or you can use just one output for all trouble events. Reed relay is hardware
connected just to the output NC2 and this setting is not possible to change in the software.
4. Expert TAB:
The tab is used for detailed settings of algorithm and advanced sensor report.
WARNING!!!
All the values that you set in this menu, can affect the quality of detection and manufacturer cannot
guaranteed the full functionality of the product. Any changes in the settings, consult with your supplier.
5. Saved configuration:
Used to store the current configuration of the connected sensor and re-load from a saved file.
6. Test-mode:
This tab is used to diagnose detector as a telnet client for deeper diagnostics and communication with the
detector. On the right side are two buttons that are used to initialize the detector (reboot) and a button to
retrieve the status of the detector.
7. Signal amplifier:
Rotary button adjusts the sensitivity of the detector by analogy with hardware rotary switch on the
mainboard of the sensor. When you connect the sensor – software automatically retrieves the current
sensitivity setting from EPROM. Writing new settings to memory start automatically after selecting value by
rotary button.
Button Extra activate sensitivity in higher range. This sensitivity is mostly used for special installations where
is necessary to use high sensitivity of the sensor algorithm.
.
WARNING!!!
All the values that you set using the control software, rewriting manually adjusted values of the rotary switch
on mainboard of the sensor. Each additional manual change by rotary switch in opposite rewrites the
software set parameters. The software always reads the last set values from memory either HW or SW.
Used to view alarms. If the software is connected to the unit during alarm conditions, each alarm is
automatically loaded into the alarm list. For detailed analysis of alarm waveforms click on the desired alarm
displayed in the alarm event list.

The yellow curve represents the signal in the range from 0.1 to 4 Hz. The blue curve is the result of mathematical
analysis for the value of small signal levels. The horizontal dashed lines shows the alarm level. If the signal exceeds a
preset threshold, detection algorithm evaluates alarm values - red curve shows the alarm status. This condition is
followed by activation of the alarm relay - the sensor is in alarm.
Press the appropriate button to activate / deactivate the line on the graph.
In the pop-up menu Trigger 1,2 you can set alarm levels for actual graph. If you can change trigger level of the sensor
use symbol in the graph. This level automatically change detection algorithm and has a significant impact on the
final sensor sensitivity.
Hand symbol is used to scroll the chart. To facilitate the work, stop reading the chart, otherwise the chart will
automatically move to the end.
The symbol of the grid can activate / deactivate the grid.
