Annex E

Inventory of perimeter intruder detection systems (PIDs)

E.1 Introduction

WARNING: The tables in this annex are a work in progress. Any values given in this annex are indicative values. The contents of the tables in this annex should not be considered to be 'objective' and should be used with due diligence.

The first draft of this annex originated from the United Kingdom.

This annex consists of a list of information regarding perimeter intruder detection systems (PIDs), see Table E.1. Information is given on some typical characteristics and fields of application. An indication is also given whether or not European or National standardization has taken place.

Table E.1 also provides 'other information' in the following form:

Other information

VD

PD

NAR

FAR

MTTR

The abbreviations have the following meanings:



VD

Vulnerability to Defeat

likelihood that a sensor could be beaten


Vulnerabilite a la casse

probabilite qu'un senseur puisse etre detruit, casse ?




FAR

False Alarm Rate

rate of invalid alarms caused by unknown sources


Degre de fausse alarme

degre d'alarme non fondee causee par des sources inconnues




NAR

Nuisance Alarm Rate

rate of invalid alarms caused by identifiable non­threat sources







MTTR a

Mean Time To Repair

average time that a device will take to recover from any failure


Temps moyen de remise en etat





MTBF

Mean Time Between Failures



Temps moyen de bon fonctionnement

temps moyen arithmetique entre deux pannes




a RSPL Recommended Spare Part List - list of tender parts. This list is always in combination with the MTTR.

NOTE From a user perspective, it might be useful to combine FAR and NAR into one single quantity. It is possible that this will be considered in the future.E.2 Combination of two sensors

Combinations of PIDs can also be used. Depending on their relation, they behave like an “OR” system or an “AND” system.

If the detector system is switch in a “OR “situation the security level goes up.

If the detector system is switch in a “AND “situation the security level goes down.

In low risk times “AND ” can be acceptable, in high risk times switch to “OR".

a “OR" means both detectors shall generate an alarm.

b “AND” means one of the detectors shall generate an alarm.
