FIS Cover Cop

	The FIS Cover Cop sensor uses fiber optic technology which is highly favorable over electrical contact switches. The Cover Cop requires no electrical power at its location so it can be used in remote areas where there often is no power. It can be used in flammable atmospheres where no type of spark is allowed. Most importantly, the FIS Cover Cop sensor has NO external moving parts. The electrical contact switches typically have a lever arm that makes contact with the lid or door that it is sensing, these levers often “stick” and fail due to corrosion. The FIS Cover Cop sensor is magnetic so it does not require contact with the surface it is sensing, eliminating corrosive failure.

Features

Open Cover Alerts

UCS signals an alert whenever a manhole or other utility cover is opened, showing security personnel the exact location of the open cover on a map displayed on a computer monitor.

Anti-Spark' Optical Technology

The mechanical detection mechanism, called Cover Cop, is a hermetically sealed sensor that does not use electricity. It can't spark an explosion in underground utilities where combustible gases may be present

Affordable Protection

The monitoring distances are many times that of electronic systems, and eliminate the need for expensive inline repeaters to amplify the signal. Power is NOT required at the protected entrances or anywhere along the cable run.

Fail-Safe Protection

UCS is a fiber optic security system that is virtually impossible to disarm.

Easy Installation

The installer simply attaches the Cover Cop sensor at each entry location. Fiber optic cable is then used to “daisy chain” the covers together, running the cable through the utility corridor to a central monitoring location. Because optical fiber is lightweight, resistant to water, and immune to electromagnetic interference, it can be strapped to existing electrical cable or pipes, using minimum mounting hardware.
