SG-PPS: Pipeline Protection Plus
BURIED DISTRIBUTED SENSOR CABLE FOR PIPELINE PROTECTION
SensoGuard Pipeline protection Plus system (SG-PPS) offers optimal solution for buried pipeline protection.
SG-PPS provides real-time monitoring of pipeline areas so that Third Party Interference (TPI) can be detected before the pipeline is damaged or breached.
The system is based on the InvisiFence Plus architecture that contains SensoGuard smart digital seismic sensors with an embedded DSP chip for the local analysis of seismic signals.
Fully digital system for improved performance
As a fully digitally distributed sensor line, the SG-PPS system is especially modular and easy to install.
Each sensor includes a dedicated DSP processor which allow pinpoint localization of intrusion.
The distributed sensing also allows maximum flexibility in terms of system layout, the sensor line can be cut anywhere and connected to a Hub unit which will manage it and forward alarms to a remote control-room or alarm system.
The sensors are connected to the Hub unit via RS485 bus network to form a 1km section.
Unlimited number of sections can be installed in order to protect very large pipelines while keeping on redundancy and avoiding single point of failure.
Key Benefits
Simple Installation, Easy & Short training
Can be installed in sections / only on vulnerable parts of pipeline
Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) through all system lifecycle
minimizes nuisance alarms, without compromising the sensitivity of the system
Relevant Software Tools
Outperformance that’s second to none
BURIED SENSORS FAQ
Question: How hard is it to install the InvisiFence system ?Do I need any specific training or knowledge?
Answer: InvisiFence is very easy to install. Moreover, we supply the system pre-configured and labeled according to site dimensions and layout in order to simplify installation by local integrator.
In addition, we usually have a remote training session ( 1 hour training) to cover all aspects of installation.
If needed, we also offer on-site installation support
Question: Are there false alarms from nearby fences? Can I install InvisiFence next to metal objects? is there a recommended minimum distance from a fence?
Answer: The InvisiFence system is not influenced by nearby fences or any other metal objects (opposite to buried coax cables).
Question: Is it influenced by rain or wind ?
Answer: No, the system isn't influenced by rain or wind, or other environmental conditions.
Question: Can we connect the system to VMS software ?
Answer: Yes. SensoGuard can provide our alarm API protocol for simple integration with any software, we are also happy to assist with any integration effort.
Question: Can we connect the system to main power supply or is it battery-operated only?
Answer: The system can operate from external 12Vdc or from internal batteries up to 4 years.
The system also includes a UPS circuit that operates a back-up battery in case of power failure.
Question: What is the recommended distance from neighbor yard for optimal operation ?
Answer: we recommend installing the sensors at least 3m from neighbors' yard to minimize the chance of getting alarms when someone is walking on their yard.
Question: What are InvisiFence's available output options ?
Answer: You can set the output alarms in two ways : dry contact outputs (which you can connect to any alarm panel) or protocol output (for C&C or 3rd party integration)
Question: Can I change the system's sensitivity and configurations after installation ?
Answer: Yes, you can change the settings after installation. At any time, you can change the sensitivity level and modify the configuration on any unit and sensor.
Users can control all settings from the hub unit.
