LiteCOPPER
copper cable protection
LiteCOPPER Analyzer
Alarm sensor that detects attempts to steal cables and the opening of manholes/ducts.
Anti-theft for copper cables, manholes and ducts
The LiteCOPPER analyzer raises the alarm when a manhole is opened or when the copper cable (laid together with the armored LiteWIRE plastic optical fiber connected to LiteCOPPER) is pulled out, allowing for timely intervention.
This system is also applicable to cables housed in cable trays (in this case in combination with standard LiteWIRE plastic optical fiber), detecting the opening of covers and attempted cable theft.
LiteCOPPER is an analyzer that sends and receives an encoded light signal through the LiteWIRE plastic optical fiber: the received signal is analyzed by the sensor which, in case of variations due to cable deformation, generates an alarm.
Vibrations, on the other hand, do not create any variation in the light signal, therefore no alarm. This characteristic makes the system insensitive to false alarms.
Following an alarm, if the fiber has remained intact, the system automatically rearms, adapting to the new configuration: the device also self-calibrates and compensates over time for meteorological and climatic variations, without requiring further adjustments.
The sensitivity level of the analyzer can be adjusted and adapted to the environment and the needs of the installation. The sensitivity range of LiteCOPPER has been optimized for the detection of mechanical stresses induced on the LiteWIRE plastic fiber installed in cable ducts or trays.
LiteCOPPER has an integrated optical power meter “Power Meter”, which detects the optical power of the signal output from the fiber. The “Power Meter” function helps the installer monitor that the LiteWIRE plastic fiber is laid correctly during installation or if adjustments are needed (checking cable ties, bolts, angles…).
LiteCOPPER can be used in both ring and point-to-point connections; the signal can be repeated by adding further devices. If the sensor is used as a signal repeater, the installer can decide whether to keep each individual alarm output separate or to group them.
