  • Page 5: System Planning

    System planning The UltraWave Microwave Detection Sensor is designed for outdoor perimeter intrusion detection applications. UltraWave consists of a microwave transmitter and receiver, which detect motion in a defined area (see Figure 1). The transmitter emits microwave energy, which the receiver constantly monitors and measures.

  • Page 10: Power Over Ethernet

    Ethernet is supplied to the Network Interface card (NIC) and the power output on the NIC is connected to the power input on the transmitter/receiver. Each unit receiving PoE requires an earth ground connection. Note Senstar recommends using a fully managed PoE switch, to supply power to the UltraWave transmitter/receiver. Page 10 UltraWave Product Guide...

  • Page 11: Alarm Data Communications

    Site design Alarm data communications UltraWave alarm data communications can be provided in three ways, Local control mode, Remote control mode and Network Manager mode (NM mode). Note The transmitter sends the following status information to the receiver, over the microwave link: Frequency Pair, Locale, Transmitter serial number, Temperature, Firmware version, Run time, Boot count, Enclosure tamper status, Program Flash error, Default config, Internal rail voltage status, Internal rail current status.

  • Page 12: Remote Control Mode

    Site design Remote control mode In Remote control mode, alarm and supervision data is carried over the network cables and the receiver’s two relays are available as output control points for the security management system (SMS). The receiver’s supervised input can be used to report the status of an auxiliary security device to the SMS.

  • Page 14: Surface-Mount Applications

    Site design Surface-mount applications The post-mount bracket can also be used to mount an UltraWave unit on a fixed stable surface. The hardware required for fastening the bracket to the surface is not included. If you are considering a surface mount application, the transmitter receiver alignment must be carefully planned, as the mounting bracket cannot be easily adjusted in the horizontal plane for surface mount applications.

  • Page 15: Installation

    Installation There are two covers on the UltraWave enclosure: the antenna cover and the circuit card cover. The antenna cover is secured with four inset screws that are factory installed to a finger-tight torque specification. There are no user-serviceable components in the antenna compartment and the cover should not be removed for any reason.

    Power supply connection WARNING! DO NOT bring AC mains power into the UltraWave enclosure. If a local power supply is being used, it must be installed in its own weatherproof enclosure. Consult the local electrical code for information about the connection of AC mains to your power supply. When a central low voltage power supply is being used for primary power, it should be powered from an uninterruptible power source.

  • Page 35: Setting The Receiver's Address

    Setup Note You raise an alarm Threshold to decrease the sensitivity to the specified type of intrusion, or you lower a Threshold to increase the sensitivity. To determine the settings that are appropriate for your site, adjust the Thresholds, and then perform detection tests. Custom Threshold settings can provide a good probability of detection and a very low nuisance alarm rate.

  • Page 36: Input Configuration Procedure (Local Control Mode)

    Setup For Remote control mode applications, you define the input as normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) with single resistor supervision, dual resistor supervision, or unsupervised. For Local control mode, the input requires a normally open unsupervised momentary switch input. The Filter Window parameter allows you to set the time period for which an input must be active before the receiver reports an event, or activates a self-test.

  • Page 37: Output Relays

    The relays remain active for an event’s duration or for the selectable relay Active Time, whichever is longer. Note Senstar recommends that the relay outputs be configured to report Tx Comm Link Fail, Input Power Fail, and Fail Safe conditions, in addition to Microwave Alarms.

  • Page 38: Receiver Calibration

    Receiver calibration Receiver calibration Once the UltraWave transmitter and receiver are setup and configured, perform the receiver calibration. CAUTION Ensure that the microwave detection zone is not disturbed during the calibration process. 1. On the receiver’s UCM Status tab, select the Recalibrate button. The receiver performs a self-calibration.

  • Page 39: System Verification Tests

    System verification tests 2. Adjust the horizontal and/or vertical alignment of the receiver unit slightly. 3. After adjusting the receiver, select the Recalibrate button on the UCM. Once the self- calibration is complete, check the Gain value to determine if it is at a lower level than the original value.
  • Page 40 System verification tests 4. If any test does not cause an alarm, reduce the Crawl Target Threshold 1 level (500 units per level) and then repeat the tests. If any subsequent test does not cause an alarm, reduce the Upright Target Threshold 1 level and then repeat the tests.
