Arm, map and verify every electric fence zone from one interface.
Mixed sensor inputs
Pulse hosts, tension hosts, fibre collectors, beam barriers and Ex detectors all report into the same zone map, so the operator sees one perimeter rather than five systems.
Zone map
Alarms are shown against the site plan with zone numbers, so the guard is sent to a location rather than to “the fence”.
Scheduled arm/disarm
Arm and disarm individual zones on a schedule, with manual override and an event log that records who changed what.
Video and relay linkage
Dry contacts and network events can trigger cameras, sirens, LED maps and alarm printers, turning a sensor event into a response.
Multi-level users
Operator, supervisor and administrator roles separate daily arm/disarm from configuration and audit.
From principle to site
Values are typical manufacturer data. Site conditions, power supply and configuration can change the final specification.
The control layer is where a perimeter becomes manageable
A site can have excellent sensors and still fail at 02:00 because the alarm arrives as an unlabeled relay click. The control layer gives every zone an address, a name and a place on the map. It also records the event, so the next morning’s review can tell whether the response was correct.
Use the K7 as a local keyboard at a gatehouse, the K9/K10 as the site host, and the touch terminal or software where a supervisor needs a map. Keep the sensor bus and the management network on separate VLANs where possible, and document the IP plan in the handover file.
Commissioning the zone map
Walk the perimeter with a printed plan and trigger each zone deliberately. Confirm that the map highlights the same segment the guard sees, and that the camera preset matches. Rename zones with the site’s own vocabulary (“north wall — gate 2”), not “zone 17”; the guard will use the name under pressure.
Test the response path end to end: sensor → host → platform → siren/camera → guard. A system that alarms correctly but does not reach the person on duty is not commissioned. Record the test time for each zone in the handover document.

View detailsBuyer questions
Can the platform manage sensors from different brands?
Only where the sensor exposes a compatible protocol or dry contacts. The platform is built around the LumenEdge sensor families; third-party devices can be integrated through relay inputs or a documented protocol, but each integration must be tested rather than assumed.
What happens if the management PC fails?
The K-series host continues to arm and alarm locally, and the sirens and relays keep working. The map and event log are unavailable until the PC is restored. For critical sites, keep a spare host or a redundant management PC.
How many zones can one operator handle?
The bus supports 1–128 addresses, but the practical limit is the response model. If one guard cannot reach more than a few zones in the required time, split the site into response areas and staff each area, rather than adding zones to a single console.
Does the software require a server?
The management software is a Windows C/S application and can run on a site PC for a single site. Multi-site or remote access needs a server and network design; confirm the topology before purchase.
