Abstract
Disclosed is a method for detecting tampering of a target detection system, comprising a control unit is in signal communication with a set of present tamper detection sensors, which are associated with a detection member. The method includes setting an overall sensor coordination logic for determining a tamper state of the system based on tamper detection data from a predetermined set of sensors, wherein the set of present sensors is a subset. Then, the control unit controls the operating state of each sensor of the set of present sensors and defines a reduced sensor coordination logic, excluding those sensors of the predetermined set that are missing and/or non-working from the overall logic. Thus, the present and working sensors cyclically acquire tamper detection data, and the control unit determines the tamper state of the system by processing the data acquired based on the reduced logic.
