1 System planning
The μltraWave Microwave Detection Sensor is designed for exterior perimeter intrusion detection
applications. μltraWave consists of a microwave transmitter and receiver, which detect motion in a
defined area (see Figure 1). The transmitter sends microwave signals to the receiver, and any
motion in the detection zone causes a variation in the received signal strength. The signal
variations are detected and processed by the receiver, which declares an intrusion alarm when the
received signal meets the criteria for a valid target.
The transmitter and receiver units are housed in weatherproof enclosures. Each enclosure
contains electronic circuitry and an antenna. Both units can be wired to report enclosure tamper
alarms.
Site planning & design
The amount of site preparation required depends on the level of security. High security
applications require more stringent specifications than do applications where only a beam-break
alarm is required. Use the following definitions to determine the level of security required:
• High Security Zone - detection of an intruder stomach-crawling parallel to the beam.
• Medium Security Zone - detection of an intruder crawling on hands and knees.
• Low Security Zone - detection of an upright walking intruder (beam-break alarm).
The physical specifications for a high security detection zone are:
• maximum transmitter/receiver separation distance of 100 m (328 ft.)
• terrain must be level to grade ± 7.5 cm (3 in.)
• terrain covered with a 10 cm (4 in.) layer of crushed stone (2 cm {0.75 in.} max.) or a paved
zone free of vegetation

Site planning
Conduct a site survey in which you note the physical features of the zone and surrounding area.
Include accurate measurements on a detailed drawing. The following is a list of rules to follow
when planning a microwave zone:
• Line of sight - A direct, unobstructed line of sight is required between the transmitter and
receiver.
• Depressions and deviations in terrain - Drainage ditches and gullies must be avoided or
filled in. These depressions can allow undetected access by an intruder, and occasional
water flow can cause nuisance alarms. Significant deviations from level grade can result in
gaps in the detection zone and detection shadows. Gaps and detection shadows create
unmonitored areas in the zone.
• Vegetation - Trees, bushes, shrubs, tall grass and weeds within the detection zone will
increase the sensor’s nuisance alarm rate and reduce the probability of detection,
especially when the vegetation is wet with rain or dew.
• Objects - Any objects (posts, light standards, stored material, parked vehicles, etc.) within
the detection zone can result in gaps in the microwave field and detection shadows.
• Ensure that there is adequate separation from any object that could be used to jump over
or bridge the detection zone (e.g., fences, trees, storage sheds, etc.).
• Motion - Movement within the detection zone can cause nuisance alarms (trees, brush,
shrubs, weeds, etc.).
The detection zone must not include water, which can cause nuisance alarms when moving
(e.g., puddles, ponds, streams, lakes).
The detection zone must be fenced in to prevent nuisance alarms caused by animals (cats,
dogs, rabbits, deer, livestock, etc.).
The motion of metallic objects (vehicles, buildings, fences, materials, etc.) that are close to the
detection zone can produce nuisance alarms.
• Ground surface - The type of ground surface in the detection zone affects the sensor’s
operation:
Crushed stone is the optimum ground cover. Crushed stone disperses rain and helps to
prevent the formation of puddles. In addition, microwave energy reflects off the rocks,
thereby increasing the zone’s sensitivity.
Paved surface - A paved surface is recommended for detection zones that require snow
removal. Accumulated snow changes the characteristics of the detection zone and can provide
cover for a burrowing intruder.
Other acceptable surfaces for medium and low security applications include closely mowed
grass (7.5 cm {3 in.} or less) and hard-packed dirt or clay.
Site design
Prepare detailed site drawings for the μltraWave system after completing the site survey. Include
dimensions, elevations and the locations of any objects noted during the survey. Once the site
drawings are complete, carefully plot each microwave zone. Zone placement, zone length, and
offsets are critical factors in the design of a microwave sensor system.
Note The Universal Configuration Module includes a tool that calculates
microwave offsets, mounting heights, beam width, and clearance
requirements, based on zone lengths. Use the UCM design tool
when planning an μltrawave zone.

Site planning & design
µltraWaveProductGuide Page 5
Zone placement
The μltrawave system requires a long, flat, detection zone free of obstacles and depressions. The
minimum distance between the beam centerline and any object (fences, buildings, vehicles, trees,
bushes, shrubs, etc.) is outlined in Tabl e 1 . Separation distances are based on typical conditions
and can vary depending on site conditions including zone length, unit mounting height, ground
cover, type of obstacle, etc. The following separation distances are minimum values. Increase the
separation distance between the beam centerline and any objects whenever possible.
You can calculate the required minimum clearance between the beam centerline and an object by
using the following formula:
(transmitter/receiver separation) X 0.02 = (min. distance between beam centerline and object)
The formula can also be used to calculate the maximum separation between the transmitter and
receiver when you know the available clearance between the beam centerline and the nearest
object:
(transmitter/receiver separation) = (min. distance between beam centerline and object) / 0.02
Zone length
The optimum length of each zone depends on several factors:
• the required level of security
• physical constraints (terrain, trees, fences, buildings, etc.)
• available space for the detection zone
For a high security zone, the maximum zone length is 90 m (295 ft.) and the maximum distance
between the transmitter and receiver is 100 m (328 ft.).
For a medium security zone, the maximum zone length is 140 m (459 ft.) and the maximum
distance between the transmitter and receiver is 150 m (492 ft.).
For a low security zone, the maximum zone length is 200 m (656 ft.) and the maximum distance
between the transmitter and receiver is 200 m.
Zone height
The height of the microwave field is approximately equal to the minimum distance between the
beam centerline and an object (see Table 1 ) plus the unit mounting height. For applications that
require additional zone height it is possible to stack two or more units on one mounting post.
Stacking μltrawave sensors is described in application note E4DA0109.

Microwave offsets
The areas immediately above and below the transmitter and receiver antennas are not exposed to
the microwave energy. A microwave offset is used to prevent this unmonitored area from being
vulnerable to undetected intrusions (see Figure 2). Offsets prevent intruders from crawling under
or jumping over a microwave unit to gain undetected access to the protected area. The offset
distances in the example drawings are based on a 100 m separation between the transmitter and
receiver and a mounting height of 55 cm (21.5 in.) beam centerline to ground. As the mounting
height increases a longer offset is necessary. Different types of offsets are shown in Figure 3.

Mounting heights
The recommended method for determining the μltraWave unit mounting height is to use the UCM
design tool. However, the mounting height chart (see Figure 4) can also be used to determine the
optimal mounting height for the transmitter and receiver. The horizontal axis of the chart
represents the separation distance between the transmitter and receiver. The vertical axis
represents the height of the transmitter and receiver from the center of the antenna to the
ground’s surface.
The node curves (N1, N2, N3, N4, N5 and N6) indicate the recommended locations for
coordinating distance (horizontal axis) to mounting height (vertical axis). Coordinate lines that
meet on the node curves provide the highest received signal strength. Avoid the mounting height
and distance coordinates between the node curves. For high security applications, a mounting
height at N1 will provide optimum system operation.
Example:
The distance between the transmitter and receiver is 85 m (279 ft.). Locate this distance on the
height chart's horizontal axis. Plot a vertical line from this distance point across the node curves.
These height measurements represent the best theoretical mounting heights for this example.
They are 50 cm (20 in.) for the N1 curve, 70 cm (28 in.) for the N2 curve, 87 cm (34 in.) for the N3
curve, etc.

Power and ground requirements
The μltraWave sensor system consumes 4 W maximum. Both the transmitter and receiver can
operate on a wide range of input voltages (12 to 48 VDC). The required gauge of the power cable
depends on the power supply capacity, the number of μltraWave units being powered and the
lengths of the power cable runs. In locations where AC power may not be stable or reliable, an
uninterruptable power supply (UPS) should be used for primary power. Each μltraWave unit
requires a nearby connection to a low resistance earth ground.
Alarm data communications
Alarm monitoring is site specific and depends on whether you are using relay output alarm
communications (Local control mode) or network based alarm communications (Remote control
mode). Each unit has two user-configurable Form C relay outputs. In Local control mode, the
receiver’s two outputs can be configured to signal alarm, Tx comm link fail, enclosure tamper
(transmitter and receiver unit) input power fail, hardware faults (transmitter and receiver unit)
and system fail (fail-safe operation). The transmitter unit’s two outputs can be configured to signal
enclosure tamper, input power fail, hardware faults and system fail (fail-safe operation). Each
receiver unit also includes an auxiliary (Aux) input. The Aux input is not used in Local control
mode.
To communicate on the Silver Network, a network interface card (NIC) must be installed on the
receiver PCB. There are five variants of the NIC available: EIA-422, multimode fiber optic,
singlemode fiber optic, mixed media EIA-422 and multimode, and mixed media EIA-422 and
singlemode. For network based systems (Remote control mode) alarm data is carried over the
network cables and the relays are available as output control points from the security management
system. The transmitter’s tamper notification is transmitted to the receiver unit, which notifies the
security management system of a tamper condition. In Remote control mode the receiver’s Aux
input can be used to report the status of an auxiliary security device to the head end. The
transmitters Aux input is not used in Remote control mode.
Network wiring
Transmission media/maximum separation distances between μltraWave receivers using network
communications:
• EIA-422 copper wire - 1.2 km (0.75 mi.)
• Multimode fiber optic cable - 2.2 km (1.4 mi.) - 2 fibers per Channel
• Singlemode fiber optic cable - 10 km (6.2 mi.) - 2 fibers per Channel
Note Senstar recommends installing a low resistance (5Ω or less) earth
ground at each unit. Consult the local electrical codes for grounding
information.
Note It is possible to use relay output alarm communications and setup
a Silver Network for maintenance purposes. This enables remote
calibration, maintenance and diagnostic access to your μltrawave
units from a central control facility.
Note A network interface card must be installed on the receiver PCB to
enable network communications.
Note Senstar strongly recommends the use of low capacitance
shielded twisted pair data cable for EIA-422,
62.5/125 multimode fiber optic cable, and
9/125 singlemode fiber optic cable.

µltraWaveProductGuide Page 9
Relay contact ratings
The dry contact relays are single pole, double throw, Form C, latching, rated for 30 V @ 1 A max.
In Remote control mode, you can configure the relays as latching (ON by command, OFF by
command), in flash mode (ON-OFF-ON-OFF, etc. by command, then OFF by command), or pulse
mode (ON for a period, then OFF). For flash and pulse modes, the relay Active/Inactive times are
selectable. In Local control mode the relays remain active for the event’s duration or for the
selectable Hold Time, whichever is longer.
Cable ports
Each μltraWave unit includes two 22 mm (0.875 in.) cable ports. The post-mounting kit
(E4KT0300) includes two compression glands for cable sizes 5 mm to 6.4 mm (3/16 in. to 1/4 in.)
and two alternate compression glands for cable sizes 11 mm to 13 mm (7/16 in. to 1/2 in.). If
required, the enclosure can be fitted with 13 mm (1/2 in.) conduit, in place of the compression
glands.
Mounting posts/surfaces
The μltraWave units mount easily on posts with an outside diameter ranging between 4.8 cm and
11.4 cm (1.875 in. and 4.5 in.). The posts must be plumb, firmly set in the ground, and unable to
rotate or move. For areas where the ground freezes, the posts must be protected against potential
frost heaving. A 2.5 m (8 ft.) post is generally used with 91 cm (3 ft.) of the post buried in a
concrete footing. Figure 5 is an illustration of a post-mounted μltraWave unit.
Note Conduit and conduit fittings are not included.

Page 10 µltraWaveProductGuide
Foundation
The foundation for the mounting posts in normal soil should be at least 91 cm (3 ft.) deep and
61 cm (2 ft.) in diameter. If soil conditions are such that a non-shifting foundation is questionable,
then a larger footing is required. In areas where ground freezing can cause frost heaving, use a
truncated pyramid base foundation.
When the foundation concrete cures, there is a possibility of it pulling away from the post,
thereby, allowing the post to rotate. Installing a length of rebar through the post in the concrete
foundation will prevent any rotation.
Surface-mount applications
The post-mount bracket can also be used to mount an μltraWave 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 adjusted in the horizontal plane for surface mount applications.
Note Senstar recommends hiring a local fencing contractor to install
the μltraWave mounting posts.

Mounting the µltraWave units
Mount the transmitter and receiver units on their respective posts, using the hardware provided in
the post-mounting kit (p/n E4KT0300, see Figure 8 ). The mounting height of the transmitter and
receiver units is measured from the center of the antenna to the ground’s surface. As an alignment
aid, the cover over the antenna includes an embossed X-pattern, that indicates the center of the
antenna.The μltraWave units can also be mounted on a wall or other flat stable surface. Both the
transmitter and receiver units must be mounted at the same height above ground. After mounting,
the two units must be aligned to point directly at each other.
Post-mounting procedure
1. Using an 11 mm (7/16 in.) wrench and the supplied hardware (hex nut, lock washer, flat
washer - X4) attach the mounting bracket to the μltraWave unit (see Figure 9 ).
2. Pass the gear clamp through the slots in the post collar.
3. Using an 11 mm wrench and the supplied hardware (bolt, lock washer, flat washer - X4) attach
the post collar to the mounting bracket.
4. Wrap the gear clamp around the post and measure the mounting height of the μltraWave unit
from the center of the antenna (see Figure 8 ) to the ground’s surface.
5. Aim the μltraWave unit at the second mounting post, and using an 8 mm (5/16 in.) nut driver
or socket, tighten the gear clamp with the μltraWave unit at the specified height.
6. Measure and verify the mounting height.
7. Repeat for the second μltraWave unit.
Note Senstar recommends hiring a local fencing contractor to install
the μltraWave mounting posts.

Surface-mounting
The μltraWave mounting bracket can be used to surface mount the transmitter and/or receiver.
The mounting bracket is attached to the μltraWave unit, and then to the post collar. The post
collar is rotated 180º so the flat side is facing outward toward the mounting surface. Customer-
supplied hardware is used to attach the collar to the mounting surface.
Surface mounting procedure
1. Using an 11 mm (7/16 in.) wrench and the supplied hardware (hex nut, lock washer, flat
washer - X4) attach the mounting bracket to the μltraWave unit.
Figure 10 µltraWave alignment
CAUTION For surface mount applications, the two mounting surfaces
must face toward each other. Surface mounted μltraWave units
cannot be rotated in the horizontal axis. If required, use shims
to adjust the horizontal alignment of surface mounted units.

2. Using an 11 mm (7/16 in.) wrench and the supplied hardware (bolt, lock washer, flat washer -
X4) attach the post collar to the mounting bracket with the flat side of the collar to the
outside.
3. Hold the μltraWave unit against the mounting surface and measure the mounting height of
the unit from the center of the antenna to the ground’s surface (see Figure 8 ). Mark the
mounting surface at the centers of the two slots in the post collar.
4. Drill two holes in the mounting surface.
5. Remove the post collar from the mounting bracket, and use appropriate fasteners to attach
the post collar to the mounting surface.
6. Re-attach the mounting bracket and μltraWave unit to the post collar.
7. Measure and verify the mounting height.
8. Mount the second μltraWave unit.
Surface-mount alignment
To ensure optimal performance, it is critical that the μltraWave transmitter and receiver are aimed
directly toward each other, and that the mounting height is correct for both units.
1. Verify the mounting heights of both units.
2. If required, loosen the mounting hardware on the post collars, and install shims so that the
μltraWave transmitter and receiver point directly at each other (horizontal adjustment).
3. Tighten the mounting hardware.
4. If required, loosen the four bolts attaching the post collar to the mounting bracket and aim
the units toward each other (in the vertical axis). Re-tighten the bolts.
Transmitter/receiver wiring connections
The μltraWave wiring connections are made on removable terminal blocks. The screw terminals
accept wire sizes from 12 to 24 AWG, with a 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) strip length. Remove the terminal
blocks to make the wiring connections. Reinstall the blocks after the connections are complete,
and verified. The DC power input is made on T3 and the input/output connections are made on
T6. The Aux input is available only through Remote control mode when using network
communications. Refer to Figure 12 for an illustration of the μltraWave wiring connections.
Figure 11 µltraWave alignment
post collar
mounting bracket
![](/img.php?id=1443624&img=bg12.png)
Page 16 µltraWaveProductguide
T3 - power input
The μltraWave units require 12 to 48 VDC to operate. Pin 1 is negative and pin 2 is positive.
T6 - inputs/outputs
T6 connects to output 1, output 2 and an auxiliary (Aux) input (see Figure 12 for connection
details). In Local control mode each output is configured via the UCM to report user-specified
alarm conditions (see Alarm data communications on page 8). The Aux input is not used in Local
control mode.
In Remote control mode the outputs are used by the security management system as output
control points. The Receiver’s Aux input is available to report the status of an auxiliary security
device. The Aux input on the transmitter is not used.
Relay contact ratings
The dry contact relays are single pole, double throw, Form C, latching, rated for 30 V @ 1 A max.
Auxiliary input
In Remote control mode, the receiver’s AUX input is a voltage sensing input. The receiver
determines the input’s status via an internal reference voltage, and the configuration of the
contact closures and supervision resistors. Any change in the input’s status is reported to the host
security management system.
Cable ports
Each μltraWave unit includes two 22 mm (0.875 in.) cable ports fitted with compression glands.
Remove the compression glands, pull the cables through the glands and into the enclosure. Then
replace the compression glands. After making the wiring connections, hand-tighten the
compression glands to provide weather protection and strain relief.
Figure 12 Transmitter/receiver wiring connections
Note The contact closure input to the AUX input must be voltage-free.

Making the I/O wiring connections
1. Pull the data cable into the enclosure.
2. Prepare the data cable - strip length = 6.4 mm (0.25 in.).
3. Remove the terminal block from T6, make the wiring connections, and then replace the
terminal block (see Figure 12 ).
Enclosure tamper switch
Each μltraWave unit includes a mechanical tamper switch (closed = secure, open = tamper) to
indicate if the enclosure cover is removed. Placing a shunt on header T2 overrides the tamper
switch (shunt ON = secure).
Transmitter/Receiver grounding
1. Connect an approved ground wire to a properly installed ground rod at the μltraWave unit’s
installation location.
2. Connect the ground wire to the ground lug on the transmitter/receiver PCB (see Figure 12 ).
Power supply connection
When a central low voltage power supply is being used for primary power, it should be powered
from an uninterruptible AC power source.
• To power the system from a central source, run the power distribution cable around the
perimeter and tap off to each μltraWave unit. Use a minimum 14 gauge wire for power runs
up to 1.2 km (4000 ft.). For longer runs use 12 gauge wire.
•At each μltraWave unit, splice the power cable to a lighter gauge pigtail that is approximately
30 cm (12 in.) long. Connect the negative lead to T3-1 (-) and connect the positive lead to
T3-2 (+) (see Figure 12 ).
Local power supply
To use a local DC power supply outdoors, the power supply must be installed in its own
weatherproof enclosure. The local supply can be mounted on the same post as the μltraWave unit
to keep the wire runs to a minimum. Connect the negative lead to T3-1 (-) and connect the
positive lead to T3-2 (+) (see Figure 12 ).
Note Senstar recommends using a low resistance (5Ω or less) earth ground
connection at each unit. Consult the local electrical codes for
additional grounding information.
WARNING! DO NOT bring AC mains power into the μltraWave 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.

3 Setup and calibration
μltraWave setup and calibration is done using Senstar’s Universal Configuration Module (UCM).
The UCM is a window-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 μltraWave unit via USB. Network based μltraWave receivers can also
connect remotely via the Silver Network Manager.
Senstar recommends that the initial calibration be done at the μltraWave unit using a direct USB
connection to the UCM. An enclosure tamper condition must exist to enable UCM communication
via a USB connection.
The μltraWave receiver setup requires the following configuration settings:
•specify the Locale - FCC for North American applications, ETSI for European applications
(transmitter and receiver settings must match)
•specify the Frequency Pair (transmitter and receiver settings must match)
• enter the Transmitter Serial Number
•set the detection Thresholds (velocity response)
(use the UCM design tool to calculate the optimum detection Thresholds)
The μltraWave transmitter setup requires the following configuration settings:
•specify the Locale - FCC for North American applications, ETSI for European applications
(transmitter and receiver settings must match)
•specify the Frequency Pair (transmitter and receiver settings must match)
Once the μltraWave transmitter and receiver are properly installed and configured, you can
calibrate the receiver unit. On the receiver’s UCM Status tab, select the recalibrate button and the
μltraWave receiver will auto-calibrate to provide the best possible received signal strength (see
Receiver calibration on page 26).
Note Consult the online help for detailed information on UCM operation.
