A C-Bin is the combination of a Range Bin as seen from TX/RX 1
with is complementary C-Bin from TX/RX 2. Each C-Bin
corresponds to approximately 6 meters of sensor cable
A signal traveling down the cable (TX) is reflected and received
(RX) in the opposite direction it was originally transmitted, also
referred to as "Out and Back" flow.
Processing the responses from processors on both ends of the
cables using E2EC.
Two processors, one at each end of the sensor cable, detect the
same intruder at the same time and at the same location.
Termination board placed on the end of single-ended cables.
Implying the sensor coaxial cable is designed to radiate RF
energy. This is accomplished by the continuous slot in the shield
that wraps around the dielectric inside the TDSC.
A Linux server with pre-loaded software that monitors and interacts
with all TD100 processors on the network. Some functions, such
as virtual zoning between adjacent sectors, require this unit.

Each tap of the correlator output is referred to as a Range Bin.
Each Range Bin corresponds to approximately 12 meters of
sensor cable.
Processing the response to the PN-coded pulse sent along the TX
cable as seen by the receiver on the parallel RX cable. This is
based on contra-directional coupling.
SubMiniature version A coaxial connector as seen on both ends of
the lead-in cable and TD100 processor.
Screw on terminators that are affixed to any TD100 processor port
that is not in use.
Interconnects power from TD24PSU or TD48PSU and RF from
lead-in to the sensor cable inside a grounded stainless-steel
enclosure.
Direct-bury rated enclosure containing one or two SUM(s) and
relevant connections.
