Page 5: System Planning
System planning The BR100 Microwave Detection Sensor is designed for outdoor perimeter intrusion detection. BR100 consists of a microwave transmitter unit and receiver unit, which detect motion in a defined area (see Figure 1). The transmitter emits microwave energy, which the receiver constantly monitors. -
Page 6: Zone Conditions
Site design Note Certain obstacles with large cross sections such as loose fences and large sheets of metal (e.g., a tractor trailer) require additional clearance. For this kind of obstacle, double the recommended separation distance. Zone conditions The detection sensitivity of each zone depends on several factors: •... -

Page 9: Alarm Data Communications
Site design Alarm data communications BR100 alarm data communications can be provided in two ways, via relays in Local control mode and over the Silver Network in Remote control mode. Each BR100 unit (transmitter and receiver) has two user-configurable relay outputs and one input. The relay contacts are held in the closed position during normal operation and open to signal an event, or if power is lost. -

A 2.5 m (8 ft.) post is generally used with 1 m (3.3 ft.) of the post buried in a concrete footing. Figure 6 is an illustration of a post-mounted BR100 unit. Note Senstar recommends hiring a local fencing contractor to install the BR100 mounting posts. Consult the local building code for information on installing mounting posts. Page 10... -

Page 12: Br100 Alarm Reporting
Site design BR100 alarm reporting The BR100 system reports a sensor alarm when a target disturbs the microwave field. If a large target (e.g., a vehicle) enters the microwave field and blocks the beam, the BR100 sensor goes into alarm and continues the alarm until the object leaves the field. If the calibration parameters are outside the valid range at startup, or during operation, the BR100 system goes into constant alarm until the calibration problem is corrected. -
Page 13: Installation
Installation The cover on each BR100 unit enclosure is secured with two captive screws that are factory installed to a finger-tight torque specification. There are no user-serviceable components inside the compartment. The cover should only be removed: • to access the circuit card assembly for setup and calibration purposes (via a UCM connection) •... -

Page 17: Transmitter/Receiver Wiring Connections
Transmitter/receiver wiring connections The BR100 wiring connections are made on 45º spring terminal blocks. The spring terminals accept wire sizes from 16 to 24 AWG with a 9 mm (0.35 in.) strip length. The DC power input is made on T4 and the input/output (I/O) connections are made on T4 and T5. Each unit’s auxiliary (AUX) input is available when using Remote control mode (network alarm data communications). -
Page 18: Relay Contact Ratings
Note The contact closure input to the AUX input must be voltage-free. Relay contact ratings The solid state relays are Form A (N.O.) rated for 60 V @ 100 mA maximum, non-inductive load. The relay contacts are held in the closed position during normal operation and open to signal an event, or if power is lost. -
Page 19: Power Over Ethernet
Note The BR100 units can use either Ethernet or RS-422 for network communications. CAUTION Senstar strongly recommends the use of external lightning protection devices for all outdoor cable runs (i.e., power, I/O, PoE, RS-422). Silver Network connections Figure 13 illustrates the data flow directions for an RS-422 based Silver Network. - Page 20 maximum 60 devices first device second device last device 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 shield shield Network Interface Unit shield...

Page 21: Stacking Br100 Units
Stacking BR100 units To increase the height of the microwave field, it is possible to stack two units on one mounting post. The initial mounting height of the lower unit is 55 cm (22 in.) and the upper unit is 1.35 m (4.4 ft.) Each BR100 sensor must use a different Frequency Pair. -
Page 22: Setup And Calibration
BR100 setup and calibration should be performed by a qualified technician. BR100 setup and calibration is done using Senstar’s Universal Configuration Module (UCM). The UCM is a Windows-based software application that performs the calibration, setup, maintenance and diagnostic functions for Senstar’s line of intrusion detection sensors. The UCM connects directly to the BR100 unit via USB. -

Page 26: Network Configuration
Setup Network configuration For BR100 units that use network alarm data communications, you must define the network type under the Network Cfig tab. The network configuration can be set only by using a direct USB connection between the UCM computer and the USB port on the unit. 1. -
Page 27: Input Configuration Procedure (Local Control Mode)
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 Input Power Fail, and Fail Safe conditions, in addition to Microwave Alarms. -
Page 28: Output Relay Setup (Remote Control Mode)
Setup 1. Select a relay (the parameters listed below a relay apply only to that relay). 2. Specify the Hold/Active Time parameter. 3. Specify the conditions from the Local Aux Control Activation field under which this relay will activate. 4. Repeat this procedure for the second relay. 5. -
Page 29: Receiver Calibration
Receiver calibration Receiver calibration Once the BR100 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 30 Receiver calibration Note Verifying the BR100 alignment on page 37 for information about using the UCM plot display to determine the received signal strength. The following procedure is best done with two people (one at the receiver and one at the transmitter). However, it can also be done by one person walking back and forth.

Page 35: Verifying The Br100 Alignment
Verifying the BR100 alignment If the BR100 sensor is encountering detection problems it is possible that one of the unit’s may be out of alignment. The UCM includes a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) that indicates the signal strength at the receiver unit. Make minor adjustments to the alignment of both units to see if the RSSI can be increased. -
