Example: An unexpected visitor does not know much about working conditions in the depository
and threats posed by vehicles. In this case, greater detection zones may be used than standard zones
adopted for experienced workers.
8.10 Circular, symmetric and custom shaped zones
The antenna modules (A) create zones around them with radius set in the configuration.
However, if the circular zones do not meet the requirements, ELOshield allows for setting non-
standard shapes of the zones. The non-standard zone shapes are divided into:
1. Symmetric zones – when 2 antenna modules (A) are connected
2. Custom shaped zones – when 3 or 4 antenna modules (A) are connected
Symmetric zones are configurable and may be set independently for each type of device located
nearby. ELOshield locates the pedestrian/vehicle/stationary modules and determines whether
they are inside the area specified in the configuration. If a device is in the warning or alarm zone,
procedures identical to those used in the case of standard (circular) zones are started.
The active symmetric zones replace the default circular zones. Their outline is a polygon defined
during the configuration.
In the case of the symmetric zones, the opposite pairs of zone apexes are set symmetric in
relation to the line connecting both antennas as the panel is unable to determine on which side
of the symmetry axis the device is located.
Custom shaped zones are able to determine the location of the device so the zone created may
have a variety of individually shaped zones, even non-symmetric.
ELOshield allows the following configurations of the symmetric and custom shaped zones:
 Creating different zone shapes for each type of module: pedestrian/vehicle/stationary
module (2),
 Use of the symmetric/custom shaped zones only for selected types of module: pedestrian/
vehicle/stationary module (1),
Activating and deactivating transmission of the zones to the detected modules (3) – this option
requires the use of the symmetric/custom shaped zone on the detected object. This allows for
precise detection of the object in the location where a specified zone is established. This is useful
in the case of vehicles which have their own zones which may be completely different than the
stationary module zones. In such case the vehicle no longer uses its zone and starts using a zone
provided to it by devices with selected option No. (3).
(a vehicle module) + (a pedestrian module) = (distance)
Zone 1 radius: 700 cm + Zone 1 buffer: 100 cm = Zone 1: 800 cm
Zone 2 radius: 1,300 cm + Zone 2 buffer: 200 cm = Zone 2: 1,500 cm
