HowACT Works
Anti-Cloak Technology(ACT )providesthebenefitsofDT(DualTechnology)whileavoidingits
drawbacks.Thispatent pending innovationhascreatedanewstandardfordetectors.
DualTechnology, acombinationof PIR+MW, wasanimportantdevelopment forthe security
industry...but,it has2majorweaknesses:
IRemission blockingcloaks employedbyintrudersenableavoidanceof detection.
PIRsensitivityisreduced whentheprotectedarea’sambienttemperatureapproachesbody
temperature.
Respondingtorequestsfromitscustomerbasetosolvethesepressing problems, RISCOGroup
developedACT -arevolutionaryanti-cloaksolution.
ACT preventsthe alarmsystemfrombeingbypassed,byneutralizingattemptstocamouflageIR
radiation.Usingunique patternrecognitionalgorithms,ACT distinguishesbetween the weakIR
signalof amoving intruderandthe background noiseandthermalinterferencesthatmaycause
falsealarms.
Oncethe presenceofanintruderisrecognized, ACT switchesthesystemautomaticallyfrom
dualchannelPIR/MWmodetosinglechannelMWmode forapredetermined period of time, in
ordertotriggeranalarmutilizingtheMWchannel, andthen returnstodualchannelmode.
Inthesecondcase, when the ambienttemperatureapproachesbodytemperature, the ACT

HowGreenLineWorks
The Green Linefeatureisused inordertominimizetheMWactivitywhilethe premisesare
occupied. WhentheGreen Linefeatureisenabled,thedetectorshouldreceiveaSet/Unset
indication fromthesecuritypanel.ForRISCO securitypanelstheSet/Unset statuswill benotified
viaBUS, forotherpanelsthe statuswill benotified viathe Set/Unset input terminal.(See Terminal
Blocks page 17)
When the Green Line featureisenabled and thereisaSETstatusindicationfromthepanel, the
detectorisworking normally; bothPIRandMWchannelsareoperating.The detectorwill report
detection tothe panelwhendetection occurseitherinPIRorinMWchannels.
When the Green Line featureisenabled and thereisan UNSETstatusindication fromthepanel,
the detector'sMWchannelisdisabled. The detectorwill report detection tothe panelwhen
detection occursinthe PIRchannelonly.
NOTE:
The processing ofthe detection report fromthe
detector iscompletelydependent on the panelsetting
and isnot related tothe Green Line feature.
