$CUbYUc!& 9^cdQ\\QdY_^Q^T_`UbQdY_^WeYTU!!1Overview IntroductionThe Series 16000 Microwave Intrusion Detection System is designed for exterior perimeter intrusion detection applications. The Series 16000 detects movement within a microwave field between the Transmitter and Receiver and initiates an Alarm to alert responding personnel.General descriptionThe Senstar-Stellar Microwave Intrusion Detection System consists of a microwave transmitter unit and receiver unit. Each system is designed to detect motion in a specified area called a detection zone (see Figure 1-1). This detection zone is established by the transmitter unit sending continuous microwave signals to the receiver unit. Any motion in this detection zone causes a variation in the received signal strength. These signal variations are detected by the receiver unit and processed to give an intrusion notification.The transmitter/receiver unit is mounted in a weatherproof enclosure. Each enclosure contains the respective electronic circuitry, and may be wired to report attempts of tampering. An antenna is part of each electronic enclosure. The antenna on the transmitter unit contains the microwave source. The receiver antenna contains the microwave detector.This Installation and operation guide is intended for the person(s) who will be doing the initial site layout and installation of the Series 16000 Microwave Intrusion Detection System. It provides the information required to install the system, from the time of unpacking shipped equipment to verification of an operational system after installation. Site preparation, installation procedures, and general theory of operation are covered by this guide.$

The physical specifications for a high security detection zone are:•Transmitter/receiver separation distance no longer than 100 m (328 ft.)•Terrain must be level to grade, ± 7.6 cm (3 in.)•Terrain finished with crushed rock (2.5 cm {1 in.} max.) to a depth of 10 cm (4 in.) or paved zone completely void of vegetation•Transmitter/receiver units mounted 61 cm (24 in.) beam centerline (center of antenna) to groundWhen physical properties of the detection zone are not within these parameters, the system capabilities are diminished. High security applications require much more stringent specifications than do applications where only a beam-break alarm is required. The following definitions should be used to determine the level of security required:High Security Zone - detection of intruder stomach-crawling parallel to the beam.Medium Security Zone - detection of intruder crawling on hands and knees.Low Security Zone - detection of a walking intruder, vehicles, etc. (Beam-break alarm only).Site selectionA physical survey of the intended site is essential. During this survey, all physical features of the site should be noted. Make accurate distance measurements of the area to be protected and draw a rough sketch. Pictures taken during this survey are also a valuable aid. Most sites may be used if the following parameters are kept in mind:Line of sightA clear, direct line-of-sight between the receiver and transmitter units must be maintained at all times. The sensor system will work best with a long, flat, detection zone.$

The detection zone should not include water, such as lakes, streams or ponds which, if moving, may result in alarms. Depending on the level of security desired, the presence of wildlife (rabbits, cats, dogs, deer, cows, etc.) may result in nuisance alarms. The motion of semi-rigid objects (metal buildings, fences, materials, etc.) that are outside the intended protection zone may produce nuisance alarms if the objects are illuminated by the transmitted microwave signal.DepressionsDrainage ditches and gullies should either be avoided or filled in. These depressions could allow undetected access by an intruder, and periodic water flow will cause nuisance alarms.VegetationTrees, bushes, shrubs, and tall grass within the detection zone will have an adverse effect on the nuisance alarm rate and on detection probability, especially when this vegetation is wet with rain or dew. Ground coverThe type of ground cover in the detection zone has several effects on the sensor system:Crushed rock This is the optimum type of ground cover for high security applications. Crushed rock will disperse rain drops, whereas a hard, smooth surface will cause raindrops to bounce, creating movement in the detection zone. Microwave energy is also reflected off the rocks, increasing the sensitivity of the detection zone. This high detection zone sensitivity allows the system to have a lower alarm sensitivity. Crushed rock will allow rainwater to seep into the rocks, preventing it from forming puddles that may cause nuisance alarms.Paved surfaceIf the detection zone requires snow removal, then a paved surface is recommended. Accumulated snow will change the detection characteristics.Other surfacesClosely mowed grass (7.6 cm {3 in.} or less) asphalt, concrete and hard-packed clay are satisfactory surfaces for medium and low security applications.TerrainSharp deviations in terrain within the line-of-sight may result in “holes” in the detection zone. In addition, this may produce a detection “shadow.” This shadow creates an unmonitored area for entry of an intruder.$

Dimensions and elevations should be shown on these drawings, as well as the location of the physical objects noted during the survey. After the site drawings have been completed, the next step is to plot each microwave zone. Zone placement, zone length, and offsets are essential to the design of a reliable microwave security system. Zone placementThe transmitter and receiver units must be mounted with a direct, unobstructed line-of-sight between them. The suggested minimum distance between the beam centerline and any object that may move (fences, trees, bushes, shrubs, etc.) is detailed in Table 2-1. Separation distances are based on average conditions and may vary depending on site conditions, mounting height, type of obstacle, etc. Zone lengthThe optimum length of each zone depends on several factors:•level of security required•physical constraints (terrain, trees, buildings, etc.)•space available for the detection zoneOffsetsThe area immediately below the transmitter/receiver antenna is not exposed to the sensor system's microwave energy. To compensate for this unmonitored area, an offset of the sensor system is required (see Figure 2-1). Offsets prevent the possibility of intruders crawling under or jumping over a transmitter or receiver unit to gain access to the protected area. The offset distances are based on the transmitter/receiver mounted at a height of 61 cm (24 in.) (beam centerline to ground). As the mounting height of a transmitter and receiver is increased a longer offset is necessary. Different types of offsets are shown in Figure 2-2.NOTE: Medium and low security applications usually require higher mounting heights and shorter offsets than those required for high security applications.Zone lengthDistance from object (min.)91 m (300 ft.)2.5 m (8.2 ft.)122 m (400 ft.)3.4 m (11.2 ft.)152 m (500 ft.)4.2 m (13.8 ft.)244 m (800 ft.)6.7 m (22 ft.)Table 2-1: zone length/object$

A 2.44 m (8 ft.) post is typically used with 91 cm (3 ft.) of the post buried in a concrete footing. NOTE: Mounting posts are not included.FoundationThe foundation for the mounting posts in normal soil should be at lease 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 should be considered. In areas where extremely low temperatures may cause frost heaving, use a truncated pyramid base foundation.RebarWhen the foundation concrete cures, there is a possibility of it pulling away from the post, allowing for rotation of the mounting post. Placement of rebar below ground level in the foundation and through the post is suggested to prevent this.Power supply hook-upA weatherproof junction box in the vicinity of each unit's mounting post is the best location for terminating the primary power supply. A double-row terminal block allows this to become a convenient junction box for those lines running back to an alarm reporting panel.

Be sure to mount the junction box so that it will not interfere with the antenna enclosure, and is not in the microwave beam.Transmitter/ReceiverMount the transmitter and receiver units on their respective posts, using the pipe clamps and hardware provided. The mounting height of the transmitter and receiver units is measured from the center of the antenna to ground. Refer to Determining mounting height on page 3-6 for the approximate mounting height of the microwave units.Transmitter/Receiver groundingConnect a ground wire(s) to a properly installed ground rod. Connect the ground wire(s) to the appropriate terminal(s) on the Transmitter/Receiver PCB. (Refer to Figures 3-4 and 3-5 for wiring diagrams of the Transmitter and Receiver circuitry.)NOTE: Senstar-Stellar recommends using a low resistance (5 Ω or less) earth ground connection at each unit. Consult the local electrical codes for additional grounding information.Conduit1.3 cm (1/2 in.) flexible conduit should be used to run connections to and from the transmitter/receiver units and power supply junction box. Allow enough slack in this flexible conduit to provide a “drip loop” and vertical movement of ± 46 cm (18 in.).NOTE: Conduit and conduit fittings are not included.Align head-to-headPhysically point the transmitter and receiver toward each other and slightly tighten the clamp nuts so the units will not fall. Loosen the two nuts on either end of the bracket, and aim the units (in the pitch axis) toward each other. Slightly tighten the two nuts.NOTE: This is a preliminary mechanical alignment only. A more precise electrical alignment will be accomplished as part of the Operating instructions procedure.Optional wall mountingNOTE: When using the optional wall mount bracket, disregard references to post mounting, and follow these instructions.$

This power may be temporary (batteries).2. Using the mounting height chart, Figure 3-3, determine the approximate mounting height of the units.3. Follow the Operating instructions to ensure the units are functioning correctly. Connect a digital voltmeter to TP-10 (AGC Voltage) on the receiver. Move the “LATCH/TIMED” jumper to the “LATCH” position to speed up the AGC response.4. Slowly move both units vertically up and down from the nominal mounting height determined from Figure 3-3. The optimum mounting height is reached when the digital voltmeter reading is the highest. Mark the spot on the wall and attach the wall mount to the wall.5. Attach the units to the mounts.Determining mounting heightThe mounting height chart (Figure 3-3) is used to determine the best theoretical mounting height of the transmitter/receiver units for optimum efficiency of the sensor system. This height chart is intended to furnish a preliminary mounting height only. The final operating height will be determined during electrical alignment and final adjustment.Chart axisThe horizontal axis of the height chart represents the distance between the transmitter and receiver units. The vertical axis represents the mounting height of the transmitter/receiver units from the center of the antenna to the ground.Node curvesThe node curves (N1, N2, N3 and N4) represent the pivot point for coordinating distance (horizontal axis) to mounting height (vertical axis). Those mounting height and distance coordinate lines that meet in the area between the node curves should be avoided. Coordinate lines that meet on the node curves are preferred because they will result in higher signal strength at the receiver and a wider fade margin. However, choosing a mounting height at N1 or below will also allow satisfactory system operation.Example:The distance between the transmitter and receiver is 91 m (300 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 84 cm (33 in.) or less for the N1 curve and below, 140 cm (55 in.) for the N2 curve, 183 cm (72 in.) for the N3 curve, or 224 cm (88 in.) for the N4 curve.$

It is suggested that an installation wiring diagram be made before wiring the transmitter. This will standardize the wiring of transmitters in a multiple system installation.Power sourceTerminals 1 and 2.The transmitter requires 12 VDC (11 - 15 VDC) to operate.Tamper reportingTerminals 3, 4 and 5 The 12 VDC power supply to the transmitter may be connected so that when the electronic enclosure is opened, the transmitter is disabled and the receiver goes into constant alarm. To have a specific tamper alarm report, wire the tamper reporting signal directly onto Terminals 3 & 4 or 4 & 5, and wire power directly to Terminals 1 and 2. Use a twisted/shielded pair of 18 AWG wire for the tamper signal wiring. This wire should be run from the dry contact tamper output terminals to the junction box, and on to the alarm reporting panel.Junction boxA tamper switch installed in the power supply junction box may also be wired for tamper reporting. This is done in conjunction with the electronic enclosure tamper wiring and both are connected to the alarm reporting panel.Remote self testTe rm i n al 6 o r 7 .The transmitter is capable of providing a test signal that will dynamically test the detection zone to the sensitivity required of that zone. This capability can be remotely activated by applying a +5 to +15 VDC voltage at terminal 6 of the terminal board, or by applying a ground to terminal 7 of this terminal board. A shielded 18 AWG wire should be used for this connection regardless of the self test actuation method used.Transmitter ground connectionConnect TB1 terminal(s) 8/9 to a properly installed ground rod.NOTE: Senstar-Stellar recommends using a low resistance (5 Ω or less) earth ground connection at the transmitter unit. Consult the local electrical codes for additional grounding information.CAUTION: When using one DC power supply to power more than one system, insure the wiring between the power supply and the unit is sufficient to prevent the input voltage at the unit from dropping below 11 VDC, when the receivers are not in alarm (maximum current draw).$

It is suggested that an installation wiring diagram be made before wiring the receiver. This will standardize the wiring of receivers in a multiple system installation.Power sourceTerminals 1 and 2.The receiver unit requires 12 VDC (11 to 15 VDC). Terminal 1 is negative, terminal 2 is positive.Tamper reportingTerminals 3, 4 and 5.Non-Specific Alarm (Series Tamper Alarm)You may wire the receiver tamper switch (terminals 3 & 4 or 4 & 5) in series or parallel (depending on alarm relay logic) with the alarm contacts for a non-specific alarm report. A non-specific alarm report does not indicate whether an alarm was caused by intrusion detection or tampering with the unit electronic enclosure. A twisted/shielded pair of 18 AWG wire should be used for this connection.Specific tamper reportingTo have a specific tamper alarm report, wire the tamper reporting signal directly onto Terminals 3 & 4 or 4 & 5. Use a twisted/shielded pair of 18 AWG wire for the tamper signal wiring. This wire should be run from the dry contact tamper output terminals to the junction box, and on to the alarm reporting panel.Alarm circuitTerminals 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11.There are two sets of normally open and normally closed dry relay contacts. One set may be used for alarm annunciation at the alarm reporting panel. The other could be used for local annunciation, zone certification testing, etc. Use a twisted/shielded pair of 18 AWG wire to connect the alarm notification to the junction box and alarm reporting panel.Multipath sidetonePhono plug adjacent to Terminal 12.This is an audio output (2 mW, 600Ω) whose frequency and amplitude are proportional to the amount and location of a source of motion within the detection zone. It can be used as a local test signal, or can be amplified and connected to the alarm monitoring system. Shielded 18 AWG audio wire should be used to connect this signal to the annunciator. A phono jack adapter and an amplified speaker can be connected to the phono plug and used as an aid in aligning the system.Receiver ground connectionConnect TB1 terminal 12 to a properly installed ground rod.NOTE: Senstar-Stellar recommends using a low resistance (5 Ω or less) earth ground connection at the receiver unit. Consult the local electrical codes for additional grounding information.$

There are no controls or indicators for operating the sensor system, and no alternate operating modes during emergency conditions.Preliminary checkOnce the sensor system is mounted and wiring installation completed, a preliminary check, channel selection, and antenna pattern selection is required before applying power to the system.Channel select switchRefer to the Channel Selection Matrix Chart on the Receiver and Transmitter Wiring illustrations. The channel select switch on each transmitter/receiver pair must be set to the same operating channel. See Figure 3-4 (transmitter) or 3-5 (receiver) for proper settings.Range switchThis is a small jumper on the receiver circuit board located by the coax input from the antenna. Put this jumper in the “S” position for separation distances of less than 30.5 m (100 ft.); use the “L” position for ranges greater than 30.5 m (100 ft.).Latch/Timed jumperThis is a white jumper wire located adjacent to terminals 9, 10 & 11 on the receiver circuit board. When the jumper is in the TIMED position, the alarm duration is controlled by the setting of R76 DURATION, which is user-adjustable between 0.5 and 10 seconds.In the LATCH position, once the system goes into alarm, it will stay in alarm until the jumper is moved to the TIMED position. This jumper must be in the TIMED position for normal operation; the LATCH position is used during electrical alignment of the system.$

This jumper effectively reduces the maximum alarm sensitivity, preventing excessive sensitivity that may result in nuisance alarms.Antenna patternThe detection pattern is adjustable by use of the sensitivity adjustment, and by changing the configuration of the transmitting and receiving antennas. The antenna configuration is changed by installing RF absorbent pads over selected antenna elements (see Figure 4-1). When no antenna pads are installed, the microwave beam is narrowest (11º). With eight of the elements covered, the beam is 16º, and with sixteen of the elements covered, the pattern is 24º. In general, the wide pattern should only be used when the separation distance between receiver and transmitter is 15 m (50 ft.) or less. The medium range pattern should be used (if necessary) with separation distances of between 15 m (50 ft.) and 30.5 m (100 ft.). The narrowest pattern (unmodified antenna) must be used when the separation distance is greater than 30.5 m (100 ft.). NOTE: Always use the narrowest beam possible, commensurate with detection requirements.Install the absorbent pads on both the receiver and transmitter pair in accordance with the following instructions:1. Select the number of strips of double-backed tape that will cover the elements necessary to provide the desired detection pattern. Remove the paper backing, and stick the tape over the elements to be covered. Note: Cover only the elements shown in the illustration (Figure 4-1).2. Remove the other piece of paper backing from the tape, and firmly press the RF absorbent material to it.3. Ensure that both the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna configurations are identical.$

Verify initial mechanical alignment. Once this initial mechanical alignment is done, a more precise electrical alignment is required.NOTE: The transmitter/receiver units should never be aimed into the ground or off to the side of the detection zone. However, discontinuities in the detection zone may dictate an alignment slightly off head-to-head.NOTE: During this alignment procedure, place the LATCH/TIMED jumper on the receiver circuit board in the LATCHED position. This will speed up the response time of the AGC voltage to make the adjustment easier.Figure 4-1: Antenna patternsAntenna with 8 patches covered (16 )ºAntenna with 16 patches covered (24 )º$

This is the automatic gain control (AGC) voltage. After final alignment, as outlined below, the AGC voltage should be between 1.7 and 7.3 VDC. Put the SHORT-LONG jumper in the LONG position to increase the AGC voltage. Put the SHORT-LONG jumper in the SHORT position to decrease the AGC voltage.ReceiverSlowly move the receiver unit up and down the post while monitoring the receiver AGC voltage. Once a maximum AGC voltage is obtained, rotate the receiver until maximum AGC is obtained on this axis. Tilt the receiver antenna up and down, again adjusting for maximum AGC voltage.TransmitterContinue to monitor the AGC voltage at the receiver while moving the transmitter in all three axes as described for the receiver, until maximum AGC voltage is obtained.Final alignmentBefore securing the hardware, repeat the transmitter and receiver unit electrical alignment steps for obtaining maximum AGC reading on all rotational axes.Secure hardwareSecure the mounting nuts and bolts. Ensure the AGC voltage remains high while this hardware is tightened. If the final AGC voltage is greater than 4.0 volts, put the SHORT-LONG jumper in the SHORT position; this will reduce the voltage to the 2.5 to 3.0 volt range. Put the TIMED-LATCHED jumper into the TIMED position for normal operation.Sensitivity adjustmentBefore beginning a sensitivity adjustment, make sure the receiver “ALARM” LED is not lit. Connect an ohmmeter between TB1 - terminals 10 and 11. It will read less than 0.5 ohms when the system is operational (armed) and infinity when the unit is in alarm. Leave the ohmmeter connected.Alarm testA preliminary alarm test requires walking across the detection zone to ensure the unit goes into alarm (“ALARM” LED lit, ohmmeter to infinity). If it does not, adjust the sensitivity potentiometer (R55) clockwise; then walk test the zone again. An alarm report should normally occur before a line of sight between the transmitter and receiver units is broken by the walker.$

The final adjustment setting should be the lowest setting possible that provides the required detection.Low security - walk across detection zone in every area intrusion concern is present. Adjust R55 for consistent detection.Medium security - crawl on hands and knees in all detection zone areas of intrusion concern. Adjust R55 for consistent detection.High security - pull metal sphere (see Tools on page 3-2); pull often enough to give confidence that the zone has the sensitivity you want.High securityAdjustment for a typical high security application requires the detection of a prone human crawling through the detection zone with the length of the body parallel to the line of sight. A 30.5 cm (12 in.) metal sphere represents approximately the same target to the microwave sensor. When adjusting the sensitivity to high security specifications, slowly (13 cm {5 in.} per second or faster) pull the sphere through the zone (perpendicular to the line of sight) approximately every 3 m (10 ft.) and adjust the sensitivity potentiometer (R55) until repeatable detection is obtained.NOTE: Dragging the sphere in the offset area is not necessary.$

If, after checking out these conditions, you find your system is still not functioning, then the possibility of a faulty condition on another system on the premises besides the Series 16000 is very likely.Return for repair proceduresA Return Material Authorization (RMA) number must be obtained from Senstar-Stellar before any items will be accepted for return. Please contact Senstar-Stellar Customer Service to obtain this authorization.When contacting Customer Service, you will need your Model number, Serial number, and the date of purchase. Please have this information available before you make your request for return.Nuisance alarmNuisance alarms are usually attributed to physical problems within the detection zone. Refer to the Site planning & design section of the guide, and review the conditions inherent to causing nuisance alarms. If these alarms persist, note time and conditions of each alarm - is there a physical feature of your detection zone that occurs at certain times, i.e., traffic or train going by, etc.?Continuous alarmContinuous alarms are more likely to be an equipment-related problem than a detection zone problem. First, determine if the sensor system is aligned and adjusted for appropriate sensitivity. Refer to the Operating instructions section of the guide, and review the conditions causing continuous alarms. Check to make sure the alarm relay latch-timed jumper (white wire) is in the “Timed” (T) position. Remove external wires from the receiver unit circuit board terminal 6 or 8, and measure ohms on the relay contact. Then, proceed to Board level test points on page 5-2, and test the transmitter/receiver circuit boards.An “alarm” situation may also occur if power to the system is being interrupted. Check both the primary power source and all terminal connections for the DC power.No alarmCheck the alarm relay to verify it is working. Remove external wires from the receiver unit circuit board terminal 6 or 8, and measure ohms on the relay contact. Also check the receiver circuit board with the test points listed in the Board level test points.$
