Overview Sennet components What is Sennet ® Sennet is Senstar-Stellar Corporation’s alarm communications network designed specifically for security monitoring applications. Each Sennet network consists of a network controller, and a combination of hardware components, (large transponder units (LTU), transponder units (TU), remote display and control ®...
Page 8
The network provides fast, reliable and secure communications between your security devices and a host alarm annunciator, such as Senstar-Stellar’s ® Senstar 100 alarm annunciation system. The alarm annunciator allows you to configure each network device individually to process specific maintenance, setup and alarm information.
Page 9
Sennet is designed for simple installation and maintenance. Twisted-pair wiring or multi-mode fiber optic cabling connects all devices with the network controller, eliminating the need for complex wiring. Installation and replacing parts is fast and easy with snap-in circuit boards, removable terminal blocks, and a minimum number of circuit board switches.
Network controller The Sennet system must include a network controller in order to relay information to and from the network. The network controller acts as the traffic director for the network. It manages all information which passes between the host annunciator and the network. One annunciator may support several networks;...

Transponder unit The transponder unit collects and translates data from distributed sources (e.g., fence-mounted sensors, infrared motion detectors, door and window contacts, microwave sensors). Each transponder provides optional relay outputs that can activate local devices (e.g., mimic panels, gate or door controls, sirens, lights). Two types of transponder units are available for the Sennet network - the standard transponder unit and the large transponder unit.
Page 13
Each transponder unit accepts 12 VDC, 16 VAC or 110-120/220-240 VAC power input. The AC operation provides a charger to support local UPS operation with an optional battery. The power supply and transponder unit are mounted on a Sennet mounting plate which can then be mounted either in a secured area or in an enclosure.
Page 14
The half-chassis version of the LTU has an I/O capacity of 128 inputs and 128 outputs. Each unit consists of a 19-inch rack mount half-chassis that contains a processor card, the power supply for the LTU and slots for two I/O cards. A full chassis version of the large transponder unit (LTU) is also available.
Page 16
Output relay cards The 64 output relay card contains the circuitry required to connect 64 supervised inputs and 64 relay outputs to the network. Jumper settings for n.o. and n.c. relay configurations are made on this card. The back of the card provides connectors for power and communication from the processor card.
Page 17
Output lamp driver card The output lamp driver contains the circuitry necessary to connect 64 supervised inputs and to activate 64 output lamps. The back of the card provides connectors for power and communication from the LTU. The faceplate houses 2 input and 3 output ports.
Remote display and control panel The remote display and control panel (RDCP) enables the system to display and process alarms at a location that is different from the central annunciation system. The unit can be mounted in a 19-inch rack, in a wall or on a table top. Each Sennet network can accommodate 16 of these panels based on Senstar 100 specifications.
faceplate features • 4 line by 40 character backlit LCD • 6 control keys • volume control • LED alarm activity indicator Repeater Three repeater card options are available for the Sennet network. A 2- or 3-port option is available for copper wire network applications. A 2-port copper/fiber optic option is also available.
Page 20
The repeater accepts 12 VDC, 16 VAC or 110-120/220-240 VAC power input. The AC operation provides a charger to support local UPS operation with an optional battery. The power supply and repeater are mounted on a Sennet mounting plate which can then be mounted either in a secured area or in an enclosure. The supplied local UPS operation applies only to the repeater.
® Perimitrax Sensor Module ® The Perimitrax Sensor Module is a Sennet-compatible device. As such, the Sensor Module can be integrated into any Sennet network. This feature allows the direct integration of perimeter security into the Sennet alarm and data collection system.
Intelli-FLEX™ Multiplex version processor The Intelli-FLEX™ multiplex version processor is a Sennet-compatible device. As such, this processor can be integrated into any Sennet network. This feature allows the direct integration of perimeter security into the Sennet alarm and data collection system. For more information refer to Intelli-FLEX™ product guide - multiplex version (C6DA0402).
Fiber optic interface module A fiber optic interface module is available from Senstar-Stellar Corporation. This module is installed directly on the network controller or the standard transponder unit to disable the copper wiring interface and enable a fiber optic interface. The fiber optic cabling is then connected to the module. This module is generally used in networks that contain only network controllers and standard transponder units.
Hardware mounting options The Sennet network controller, standard transponder unit and repeater circuit cards must each be mounted either on a mounting plate in a secure area, or in a secure box. These options are listed below: • Sennet mounting plate - a metal plate for mounting a network controller or a transponder, or one or two repeaters, and the AC power supply and battery (30 x 35 cm [11¾...
Network configuration Network layout guidelines This chapter details the parameters that are required to layout a Sennet-based security system. In Configuration parameters, page 2-2, the overall details for configuring a Sennet system are outlined. The table cross references lead you to details that are specific to each portion of the layout process.

Network wiring requirements Copper wire or fiber optic cabling can be used for data path connections. The Perimitrax Sensor Module and the Sennet remote display and control panel are copper wire compatible only. They cannot be used in fiber optic cabled networks. Commercially available copper wire is used for Commercially available multi-mode fiber optic cable is network segment connections.

that the network is properly terminated: • every data path segment will have exactly two points where termination resistors are required • there can never be more than two connections to any data point on a path • unused data paths are not terminated A repeater breaks the data path into two segments.
Page 30
In any network segment longer than about 1.5 km (1 mile), there is a risk of electrical noise problems and undesirable induced voltages. If the data path is near high voltage power lines, near industrial electrical machinery, or close to high powered radio or radar systems, keep the network segments short to avoid potential noise problems.
Page 31
Surge protection All devices have built-in lightning protection. However, when running data paths outdoors, in high lightning areas, use gas lightning protection (Senstar-Stellar # SW-LW1) at each entrance to a building and at the entrance to electronics enclosures that are located outdoors to provided added protection from surges due to lightning or other sources on the data paths.
