Abstract
The radio signals range of selected wireless components of security systems is defined by the area within which components can communicate properly. In practice, the range of communication between components is often insufficiently taken into account, which results in the system malfunction. There are cases where the radio signal range of wireless components was inadequate due to use in an environment constructed from non-transmitting materials.The installation of wireless systems requires the implementation of a testing methodology of radio-communication range and its continuous improvement. Currently, the procedures within EN 50 131-5-3 and EN 300 220-1 standards can be used to test the wireless components, but they do not target the range between wireless components. Dependability and functionality are the main attributes of electrical security systems and need to be verified by testing the range of wireless components.
Highlights
Security systems are nowadays a common inseparable standard of operations, facilities, family houses and other utilities
Wireless communication between components has its limits. Those are the specific limits of the signal range, which affect the dependability of the entire security system
It is important to define the problem of the signal range of selected wireless components of the security systems; to find out to what extent the range of the communication signal is influenced by the environment; to examine whether the range can be determined in general by using a specific parameter
Summary
Security systems are nowadays a common inseparable standard of operations, facilities, family houses and other utilities. The classic Intruder alarm systems (IAS) wired components are no longer adequate and need to be complemented by the wireless ones. Those have become synonymous with low cost, time saving, easy implementation, easy maintenance and flexibility. It is important to define the problem of the signal range of selected wireless components of the security systems; to find out to what extent the range of the communication signal is influenced by the environment; to examine whether the range can be determined in general by using a specific parameter. This issue is important for effectively managing the selection and placement of selected wireless components when designing and implementing wireless IAS [1]
