Senstar LM100 Product Guide Page 71 System planningDescriptionThe Senstar LM100 intelligent perimeter lighting and sensing solution combines high-intensity LED lighting with an accelerometer-based vibration detection sensor. The system is comprised of a distributed set of LM100 luminaires, which include the LED lights and the vibration detecting sensor, a gateway device that processes the signals from the luminaires, and a luminaire AP (access point) that provides an RS-485 half-duplex connection between the RF-based luminaires and the gateway. The Senstar LM100 luminaires are typically mounted on the perimeter fence, but can also be mounted on walls or other surfaces. The luminaires communicate over a proprietary wireless mesh network transmitting status information and receiving control point commands from the gateway via the hard-wired connection to the luminaire AP. The gateway provides the user interface to the distributed luminaires as well as the interface between the luminaires and a security management system (SMS). The gateway device supports up to 100 luminaires (the luminaire AP is included in the 100 unit limit for each Senstar LM100 system). Figure 1: luminaires at night
DescriptionPage 8 Senstar LM100 Product GuideFor optimum performance and the highest probability of detection (Pd) the Senstar LM100 luminaires can be mounted on fences up to 3.6 m (12 ft.) high, with up to 6 m (20 ft.) separation between luminaires. With 6 m spacing between luminaires, one Senstar LM100 system can protect up to 600 m (1970 ft.) of perimeter fencing. The luminaires can be mounted at various heights on the fence posts to avoid contact with barbed wire outriggers at the top of the fence. The Senstar LM100 system can be configured to protect most types of fences with user-configurable detection parameters and light activation controls. Each system supports up to 50 distinct alarm zones and each alarm zone can include from 1 to 100 luminaires. In addition to alarm detection and response, each software defined zone can follow a preset schedule for routine light activation. The luminaire detection parameters and alarm response are configured through the LM100 gateway. The lights can be turned ON, OFF, and Strobed in response to an alarm, individually or grouped by zone. The luminaires can also have their brightness adjusted for both routine lighting and alarm response.The LEDs on the Senstar LM100 luminaires are optimized to provide full spectrum lighting, to ensure high quality images for CCTV coverage. The LEDs provide uniform directional lighting along the fence line with an elliptical 120º coverage pattern that minimizes light pollution. The LED lights are fully ON or OFF instantly, without a warm-up period and each luminaire consumes only 2.5 W. The Senstar LM100 system is so energy efficient that a complete system with 100 luminaires consumes about the same amount of power as a single high pressure sodium light. The Senstar LM100 gateway includes ten I/O ports that are individually selectable as inputs or outputs with normally open or normally closed contacts. An I/O option card can be added to the gateway to provide an additional 4 inputs or 4 outputs. The I/O points can be controlled locally by the gateway with the outputs used to signal alarm and supervision conditions, and the inputs used to activate luminaire zones. Alternately, the I/O points can be controlled remotely by a security management system (SMS). In this case the outputs are used to activate auxiliary equipment and the inputs are used to communicate the status of auxiliary devices to the SMS. The outputs are individually configurable and can source up to 100 mA to power auxiliary equipment. The inputs to the gateway must be voltage free. The Senstar LM100 supports the Wireless Gate Sensor (WGS) to provide coverage for up to 4 gates per system. The WGS requires a receiver module which mounts on the gateway circuit card assembly (CCA) and at least one gate sensor for each protected gate.The Senstar LM100 system can operate as a standalone system which reports alarm conditions via contact closure outputs. Each luminaire can be configured to respond to alarm conditions and to automatically turn ON and OFF according to a user-defined schedule, and to activate other equipment (via gateway outputs). Each luminaire can also be configured to respond to dry contact inputs from other equipment such as a photo cell for routine light activation. The Senstar LM100 can be part of a Silver Network based security system. In this case the gateway requires a Network Interface Card that connects to a PC running Senstar’s Network Manager (NM) service. The NM interfaces between the Senstar LM100 and a security management system such as StarNet 2 or the Alarm Integration Module. The Senstar LM100 can easily be integrated into any SMS that accepts contact closure inputs. There are 16 channels available to prevent interference between closely located Senstar LM100 systems (400 m separation is required between Senstar LM100 systems operating on the same channel). Note It may be possible for the Senstar LM100 to protect fences higher than 3.6 m by installing the luminaires at the 3.6 m (12 ft.) point on the fence posts; or by using the minimum separation between luminaires of 3 m.However, Senstar strongly recommends a trial installation and testing the installation thoroughly to ensure the detection sensitivity meets the site requirements.
DescriptionSenstar LM100 Product Guide Page 9Senstar LM100 luminairesThe luminaire is both the sensing unit and the lighting unit for the Senstar LM100 system. The luminaires communicate over a wireless mesh network, relaying status information to the gateway via the luminaire AP. Luminaires are usually mounted near the tops of the fence posts, and can also be mounted on walls or other flat surfaces. The luminaire head contains the electronic components (a MEMs sensor, LED lights and a wireless RF transceiver). Each Senstar LM100 gateway supports up to 100 luminaires (1 luminaire AP + 99 luminaires). The luminaires are configured remotely through a UCM connection to the gateway. One or more luminaires can be grouped into segments, and the segments can be grouped into zones (via the UCM software). The detection parameters are set globally for all luminaires. However, each luminaire segment has an independent alarm threshold and each luminaire zone can have independent light activation controls. The global detection parameters include an Event Window, an Event Count and an Alarm Window. There is also a Target Filter which can be used to screen out some sources of environmental and mechanical noise. Each luminaire is supervised to protect against tampering and the removal of the device.The luminaire’s lighting properties are also set globally. This includes brightness, and response to alarm conditions. There are 5 selectable luminaire alarm responses. Luminaires can be turned ON, OFF, or strobed individually or in zones. For example, the luminaire that detects an intrusion attempt can be strobed and the zone it is assigned to can be turned ON. It is also possible to configure a luminaire zone to follow a routine lighting schedule, with or without providing intrusion detection. For example, a number of luminaires could be used to provide walkway lighting and building entrance lighting. These luminaires would be scheduled to turn on at dusk and off at dawn. Alarm detection is not desired for these luminaires so the detection for this group of luminaires would be disabled.

DescriptionPage 10 Senstar LM100 Product GuideSenstar LM100 luminaire APThe luminaire AP functions as a standard luminaire providing intrusion detection and routine lighting. It also serves as the access point through which the distributed luminaires communicate with the gateway device. A two-wire RS-485 connection between the AP and the gateway enables half-duplex communication between the two devices. Individual luminaires are polled for status information, and when an alarm condition occurs, the luminaire detecting the alarm transmits the status change. This information is passed over the wireless mesh network until it is received by the luminaire AP. The luminaire AP sends the data to the gateway over the RS-485 connection. The gateway processes the received signals and triggers an alarm when the information indicates a valid alarm. The luminaire AP includes a 3 m (10 ft.) 4-conductor cable to make the power and data connection to the gateway. The luminaire AP can be installed up to 100 m (328 ft.) away from the gateway by splicing in a suitable length of data/power cable. To use the extended cable length requires a minimum 24 VDC power supply.Senstar LM100 gatewayThe gateway is the central controller for the Senstar LM100 system. It communicates with the distributed luminaires through a 2-wire RS-485 connection to the luminaire AP. The gateway receives the alarm and status information from the luminaires, and depending on the method of alarm reporting, it either passes the data to the Silver Network Manager (NM) or it activates the onboard outputs to signal alarm conditions and status information. System setup and configuration for the luminaires is done using the Universal Configuration Module (UCM) through either a direct USB connection to the gateway device, or remotely through the Silver Network Manager.The gateway can be mounted outdoors on a post, either on, or separate from, the fence on which the luminaires are installed. A rigid fixed post is recommended for outdoor applications. The gateway can also be installed indoors or outdoors on a flat stable surface. Post-mounting hardware is supplied for post sizes ranging from 4.5 cm to 12.7 cm (1¾ in. to 5 in.). The hardware required for surface-mounting the gateway is customer-supplied. The gateway enclosure is hinged on one side and includes a lockable latch (padlock not included).The gateway includes ten input/output (I/O) ports, each of which can be configured as either an input or an output. Option cards are available to provide an additional 4 inputs or 4 outputs. There are two selectable control modes for the gateway’s I/O, local control mode and remote control mode. The control mode is set in software, via the UCM. The default setting is local control mode, in which the gateway controls the on-board relays to signal alarm and supervision conditions (user specified relay activation conditions). In local control mode, the inputs are used to activate user-selectable luminaires (i.e., when the input goes high, activate one or more luminaires). In remote control mode, the alarm data is carried over the Silver Network to a host security management system (SMS). Remote control mode enables the security management system (SMS) to control the gateway’s relays as output points to operate other security equipment. The input ports provide inputs to the host SMS for reporting the status of auxiliary devices. In both modes, you can configure the gateway’s input/output response according to your site-specific requirements.•local control mode - hard-wired contact closure alarm data connections and input wiring connections are made between the gateway and the annunciation equipment (ten I/O ports in any combination of output relays, dry contact inputs) (the optional Relay Output card provides 4 additional outputs for reporting alarm conditions; the optional dry contact input card provides 4 additional inputs)•remote control mode - the alarm data communications are via the Silver Network: RS-422 copper wire data paths, Ethernet cable, or fiber optic cables connect the gateway to the Network Manager, which communicates with a host security management system; the outputs are available as output control points from the host system (the optional Relay Output card provides 4 additional outputs) the dry contact inputs are available for reporting the status of auxiliary equipment to the host system (the optional dry contact input card provides 4 additional inputs)
DescriptionSenstar LM100 Product Guide Page 11The Universal Configuration ModuleThe Universal Configuration Module (UCM) is a Windows based software application, which serves as the calibration, setup and maintenance tool for the Senstar LM100 system. The UCM communicates with the gateway locally through a USB connection, or remotely via the Silver Network Manager. When the UCM software starts, a window displays that enables you to specify the device to which you are connecting (Senstar LM100).Alarm communication options• contact closure alarm communications (local control mode) up to 14 distinct alarm zones per Senstar LM100 system (requires optional relay output card)• Silver Network data communications using RS-422 copper wire data paths, Ethernet cable, or fiber optic cableRelay Output CardThe relay output card (ROC) (P/N 00BA2500) includes four relays to supplement the outputs available on the gateway. In local control mode the ROC’s outputs indicate user-selectable alarm and supervision conditions. In remote control mode, the host security management system operates the ROC’s relays, as output control points, (e.g., to activate sirens, CCTV equipment, etc.). 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 Active/Inactive times are selectable.Dry Contact Input CardThe dry contact input card (DRIC) (P/N 00BA2400) includes four inputs to supplement the inputs available on the gateway. In local control mode the DRIC’s inputs are used to activate user-specified luminaires. In remote control mode, the inputs connect auxiliary devices to the host security management system (e.g., to report the status of other security equipment such as a microwave or magnetic contact). The Filter Window parameter allows you to set the time period for which an input must be active, before an event is reported.Fail-safe relay operationIn the default configuration, the gateway’s relays operate in fail-safe mode. During normal operation, the relays latch in the non-alarm state. In the event of a total gateway failure all relays switch to the alarm state. Note For the Senstar LM100 to be part of a Silver Network based security system, the gateway requires a network interface card.The gateway can use either an input card or an output card, not both.Note Use individually shielded twisted pair with overall shield for RS-422 data cables.Note A Silver Network based Senstar LM100 can use local control mode to operate the gateway’s inputs and outputs.
DescriptionPage 12 Senstar LM100 Product GuidePower source and wiringThe Senstar LM100 system can operate on a wide range of input voltages (12 to 48 VDC). A 12 VDC power supply is suitable for powering the gateway and the luminaire AP, or a single luminaire. Outdoor rated low voltage power cable is available in 152 m (500 ft.) reels (P/N: 14/2 GW0337-14, 16/2 GW0337-16). The distance covered by a power supply can be extended by running the power cables in both directions around the perimeter from a central location. The following figure includes the number of luminaires that can be powered based on power supply voltage, wire gauge and distance: Auxiliary device output powerThe gateway device can source up to 100 mA at the gateway’s input voltage via the onboard outputs. The outputs can be used to energize high voltage relays or to activate auxiliary security devices. The gateway’s outputs can also sink up to 100 mA from an auxiliary device.Power over EthernetSilver Network based gateways using Ethernet communications have the option of using Power over Ethernet. To use this powering option requires a PoE class 3 switch that is located within 100 m (328 ft.) of the gateway, and minimum Category 5 Ethernet cable. Power over Ethernet is supplied to the gateway’s Network Interface card (NIC) and the power output on the NIC is connected to the power input on the gateway. The PoE connection can also supply power to the luminaire AP (but not to any other luminaires). Figure 43: illustrates an Ethernet based Silver Network. Figure 3: Senstar LM100 luminaire power cable recommendationsNote In locations where AC power may not be stable or reliable, an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) should be used for primary power. Note Senstar recommends using a fully managed PoE switch, to supply power to a Senstar LM100 gateway.100 100 10096 96 9692 92 9288 88 8884 84 8480 80 8076 76 7672 72 7268 68 6864 64 6460 60 6056 56 5652 52 5248 48 4844 44 4440 40 4036 36 3632 32 3228 28 2824 24 2420 20 2016 16 1612 12 12888444000AWG18161412101816141210 AWG18161412101816141210 AWG1816141210181614121024 VDC power supplyNumber of Luminaires3 m/10 ft 6 m/20 ftLuminaire Spacing36 VDC power supplyNumber of Luminaires3 m/10 ft 6 m/20 ftLuminaire SpacingLuminaire SpacingNumber of Luminaires6 m/20 ft3 m/10 ft48 VDC power supply
Security factorsSenstar LM100 Product Guide Page 13Grounding considerationsThe Senstar LM100 gateway requires a stable low resistance earth ground connection. Use a short length of heavy gauge copper wire to connect the ground lug on the bottom of the enclosure to an approved low resistance earth ground.Alarm monitoringAlarm monitoring is site specific and depends on whether you are using relay outputs for alarm reporting (standalone system, local control mode) or Silver Network based alarm reporting (networked system, remote control mode). Each gateway has ten user-configurable I/O points (inputs/outputs). In standalone mode, the outputs are used to signal alarm and supervision conditions. For network based gateways, alarm data is carried over the network cables and the outputs are available as output control points from the security management system.NM Mode alarm reportingThe LM100 gateway can be configured to report alarm and supervision conditions through the UltraLink modular I/O system. The UltraLink I/O processor, operating in NM Mode, functions as a Network Manager, providing alarm outputs for a connected network of up to eight Silver Network compatible devices. In NM Mode, the Silver devices do not require a connection to a PC running Silver Network Manager software. Sensor alarms and supervision conditions are assigned to UltraLink I/O outputs. When an alarm occurs on a connected sensor, the corresponding UltraLink output is activated (see 00DA1003-002 UltraLink I/O for additional details).Security factorsThere are many important factors to consider when planning a perimeter security system:• Fence height - The fence must be high enough to present an effective barrier to climb-over intrusions. It should also include climb-over deterrent hardware such as barbed wire or razor ribbon (for flexible fences). Rigid fence types should incorporate a climb over deterrent in their design (pointed stakes or pales). Senstar recommends that the minimum fence height for a Senstar LM100 installation on a flexible fence type is 2.5 m (8 ft.). For rigid fence types the minimum recommended fence height is 2 m (6.5 ft.).• Fence condition - the Senstar LM100 detects intrusions by sensing the minute vibrations caused by an intrusion attempt. Therefore, the fence must be in good condition to prevent any metal on metal contact or vibrations caused by environmental factors. It may be necessary to upgrade or repair the perimeter fence to ensure it presents a sufficient barrier against climb over and crawl under intrusions. If you are not sure of the suitability of your fence for a Senstar LM100 system, Senstar recommends hiring a local fencing contractor to inspect, and if required, repair the fence.• Fence length - The length of the fence, the number of fence posts and the fence post spacing determine the number of luminaires required to provide adequate coverage. The maximum recommended spacing for luminaires is 6 m (20 ft.). The minimum recommended spacing for luminaires is 3 m (10 ft.). The minimum spacing provides the highest level of security. Exceeding the maximum recommended spacing can result in areas with reduced detection sensitivity and gaps in the lighting.CAUTION Consult the local electrical code for grounding information.
Fence structuresPage 14 Senstar LM100 Product Guide• Probability of detection (Pd) vs. nuisance alarm rate (NAR) - With a fence-mounted intrusion detection system there is always a trade-off between the probability of detection and the nuisance alarm rate. A properly calibrated system will provide a high Pd while minimizing the NAR. • Alarm assessment/response - What happens when the system triggers an alarm? Can the alarm be assessed visually? Does the site include CCTV coverage to verify the event? Senstar recommends engaging a security consultant to discuss the available methods of alarm assessment. To ensure maximum confidence in the system you must be able to distinguish between valid alarms and nuisance alarms.• Deterrence - The Senstar LM100 can activate or strobe lights at the location where an intrusion attempt is detected, while the intruder is still outside the perimeter fence. Brightly illuminating the area of attack serves as a powerful deterrent while also providing high quality light for CCTV coverage.Fence structuresTo ensure consistent detection, the fence panels should be similar in type and size and be in good condition. Ensure that there are no loose panels, fittings or metal parts that can move and cause nuisance alarms. A shake test in which you grip the fence fabric in the middle of a panel and shake it back and forth with an increasing motion will help identify any loose pieces. Listen for metal-on-metal contact and correct any problems found. Verify that there are no washouts or depressions under the fence that could allow an intruder access. Ensure that there is no vegetation or other objects that can make contact with the fence in windy conditions.Stainless steel post clamps are included for mounting the gateway and the luminaires. The post clamps fit a wide range of post sizes with outside diameters (ODs) from 4.5 to 13 cm (1¾ to 5 in.). The clamps will fit rectangular posts measuring up to 10 cm (4 in.) per side. The recommended luminaire spacing is from 3 to 6 m (10 to 20 ft.) separation. However, The maximum recommended separation between two luminaires is 20 m (66 ft.) to ensure accurate low power RF communication between the devices.Standard flexible fence types Chain-link fenceChain-link fence is usually comprised of steel wires that are bent lengthwise into zig-zag patterns. The zig-zag wires are vertically woven to form the characteristic diamond pattern. The fence fabric is attached to fence posts approximately 3 m (10 ft.) apart. Tension wires are often used to stiffen the fence fabric at the top, bottom and middle of the fence. Chain-link fences are available in different heights and are sometimes vinyl coated. Welded-mesh fencesA typical welded-mesh fence section consists of steel wire welded into a grid, with horizontal spacing differing from vertical spacing. These fence sections are secured to fence posts and often include top and bottom rails.Note It is also possible to install luminaires by marking the fence posts, drilling four holes and using self-tapping screws.
Fence structuresSenstar LM100 Product Guide Page 15Expanded metal fencesExpanded metal mesh is typically comprised of a metal material with diamond shaped holes. Expanded metal fences are available with a variety of diamond size openings and gauges that can be attached to a typical fence framework of posts and rails. Rigid fence typesPalisade fencesA typical palisade fence panel consists of metal pales fastened onto horizontal rails. These fence sections are secured to fence posts which are securely anchored to, or into, the ground.Climb-over deterrent hardware Figure 4: Standard flexible fence typesFigure 5: Rigid fence (palisade)Note The mounting height of the Senstar LM100 luminaires on the fence posts may require adjustment to avoid contact with the climb-over deterrent hardware. chain-link welded-mesh expanded metal
Fence structuresPage 16 Senstar LM100 Product GuideBarbed wireBarbed wire outriggers must be secure to prevent movement due to environmental conditions. Each barbed wire strand should be taut and tightly secured at each support. Any extension arms or outriggers attached to post tops should have a tight press-fit or be spot-welded. Fasten and secure any loose components.Razor ribbonThe razor ribbon must be secured so that it does not move in the wind. Use bracing wires to secure the coil and to prevent the razor ribbon from separating if it is cut (see Figure 7: ). GatesThere are generally two types of gates used with fences, swinging gates and sliding gates. The type of gate protection required is determined by:• the type of gate• the frequency of gate use• when the system is activeGates should consist of fence fabric on a rigid frame that includes horizontal and vertical bracing.Figure 6: Avoiding contact with barbed wireFigure 7: Razor ribbonto avoid contact with the barbed wirelower the luminaires mounting heightrazor ribbonbracing wirewire tie
Site SurveySenstar LM100 Product Guide Page 17• Firmly attach all gate hardware accessories (minimum free-play).• Make sure that double gates have travel stops (rigid anchors).• Prevent locking hardware from moving in the wind.• Prevent sliding gate track hardware, supports, guides, etc., from rattling in the wind.There are two ways to protect gates with the Senstar LM100 system:• The wireless gate sensor (WGS),• An alternate technology (e.g., a microwave sensor).EnvironmentFor installations in environments which include hot sunny periods, install a sun shield to protect the enclosure from direct sunlight, or install the enclosure in a shady area, or indoors. Extra care must be taken at sites that experience strong winds on a regular basis. The fence must be well-maintained to prevent any metal on metal contact caused by the wind. Any objects that can make contact with the fence should be removed from the perimeter. Heavy vegetation (thick weeds, brush, trees, etc.) should also be kept away from the fence. Vegetation should not touch or hang over the fence fabric.Site SurveyConduct a site survey to ensure that site conditions are suitable, and to determine the number of luminaires required to cover the perimeter fence. Also include any luminaires that will be used exclusively for lighting purposes. The primary concern of the site survey is the condition of the fence and gates.Indicate the following on the site plan:• The locations of existing structures (include fences, fence posts, heavy fence posts, gates, buildings, roads, etc.). • The locations of obstacles including vegetation and trees.• The length of the fence that is being protected.• The number of regular fence posts, heavy gauge fence posts, and the fence post spacing.• Add any surface-mounted luminaires required at the site (in addition to fence-mounted).Equipment layoutDepending on the height of the fence and the desired level of security, a luminaire is attached to every fence post (3 m spacing) or every second fence post (6 m spacing). Regardless of the regular spacing, each tension post, corner post and gate support post, should have a luminaire attached as these types of posts are usually made of thicker steel and have a wider outside diameter (OD) than regular fence posts. As a result of the heavier construction, these posts tend to dampen vibrations.Note The ambient temperature, as measured inside the gateway enclosure, must be within the operational range of -40 to +70º C (-40 to +158º F).

Senstar LM100 Product Guide Page 192 InstallationInstalling LM100 luminairesGenerally, a luminaire is attached to every second fence post (6 m spacing). In addition, all of the heavier gauge fence posts should have a luminaire (tension posts, corner posts, gate support posts). The luminaires should be installed on the side of the fence that faces the perceived threat. Luminaires are installed so they are perpendicular to the fence line and plumb, with the head facing directly downward.The first step is mounting the gateway (or indicate the gateway’s installation location if it will be installed later). Begin with the luminaire AP (the luminaire with a hard-wired connection to the gateway).At regular fence postsTools and equipment• 8 mm (5/16 in.) nut driver or socket (low torque cordless drill with 8 mm socket recommended)• ladder or scissor lift suitable for fence heightFigure 9: Senstar LM100 concept drawingTip Using a quick-grip clamp will simplify the installation of the luminaires.2.4 GHz wireless mesh network (encrypted and supervised)luminaire AP luminairegateway48 VDC networkRS-485 connectionlow voltage powerto luminaires typical luminaire spacing6 m (20 ft.)cable connection(up to 100)(1 required)discrete inputs (light control)discrete outputs (alarms / control points)network interface to SMSpower supply forgateway and luminaires between gateway and luminaire AP

Run the 2 sections of power cable from the top of the fence, down past the luminaire, and cut the power cables 30 cm (1 ft.) below the base of the luminaire.2. Separate the 2 conductors of the power cables for 10 cm (4 in) from the end.CAUTION Use power cable that clearly distinguishes the 2 conductors to ensure the correct polarity at each luminaire.CAUTION Once the supplied grommet is inserted into the base of the luminaire it is virtually impossible to remove without damaging the grommet. Temporarily apply power and test each luminaire before inserting the grommet.Note Molex crimp tool p/n 64001-0600 is recommended for use with the supplied Molex crimp connectors. However, the Klein model 1005 or equivalent crimp tool is suitable for this application.Note In harsh weather environments which include wind blown salt water spray, Senstar recommends the use of a protective marine type dielectric grease compound for the electrical connection to the luminaires.Figure 20: Power connection crimp toolsFigure 21: Power cable preparationMolex SD-19160-001closed-end connectorMolex 64001-0600 recommended crimp tool Klein 1005 suitable crimp tool10 cm (4 in.) 1 : 1 scale 3 cm (1.2 in.) 1 : 1 scale

Installing the LM100 gatewayPage 32 Senstar LM100 Product GuideGroundingThe gateway requires a single ground reference. Connect the ground lug on the bottom of the enclosure to an approved earth ground at the gateway’s location. The earth ground connection must be stable and noise free. An improper or unstable earth ground can induce noise in the gateway. Do not use the fence structure as an earth ground. Avoid sharp bends in the ground wire. I/O portsThe LM100 gateway includes ten I/O ports that can be configured as either inputs or outputs in any combination. The I/O ports are accessed through removable screw terminal blocks. Each port has an associated LED, which indicates when the port is active (LED ON = port active). The optional dry contact input card includes four additional inputs and the optional relay output card includes four additional relays to supplement the I/O on the gateway.I/O port jumpersEach I/O port includes a pair of configuration jumpers which are set according to the intended use of the port. For ports that will be configured as outputs and will source power to an external device, and for all inputs, install the shunts on the headers. For ports that will be configured as outputs but will not source power (dry contact outputs) park the shunts on a single pin, as indicated in Figure 33: . OutputsThe gateway’s relay outputs can source up to 100 mA at the same voltage as the gateway’s input power in the high side drive configuration. The relays can also be configured to sink up to 100 mA as Form A (normally open) or Form B (normally closed) contacts. The capability to source power depends on the capacity of the connected power supply. The gateway’s relays can also be configured as Form A or Form B dry contact outputs (no power). Figure 34: illustrates the gateway’s five selectable output schematics. Note Consult the local electrical code for grounding information.Note The gateway can use either an input card or an output card, not both.Figure 33: Gateway I/O port jumper settings voltage sourcing outputs and dry contact inputs dry contact outputs
Installing the LM100 gatewaySenstar LM100 Product Guide Page 33Relay contact ratingsThe gateway’s relays are latching, and are 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... 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.Auxiliary inputs I/O points defined as inputs are voltage sensing inputs. The gateway determines an input’s status via an internal reference voltage, and the configuration of the contact closures and supervision resistors. Figure 35: provides wiring diagrams for auxiliary device inputs. In Local control mode the inputs are used to activate luminaire zones. When the input goes high, the specified luminaire zone is activated.In Remote control mode the AUX inputs serve as inputs to the host SMS for reporting the status of auxiliary security equipment.Figure 34: Gateway output schematicsCAUTION The contact closure inputs to the gateway MUST be voltage-free. power sourcing outputdry contact outputshuntForm AForm Bhigh side driveForm AForm Bpower sinking outputpower sinking output dry contact output

Figure 41: illustrates an RS-422 based Silver Network and Figure 42: shows a fiber optic based Silver Network. Silver Network’s using Ethernet communications use a star configuration. Figure 43: illustrates an Ethernet based Silver Network (Star configuration). Note The PoE NIC typically receives power over its Ethernet connection. It provides power to the gateway through T6, the gateway power input. The gateway then supplies power to the NIC through the expansion header. If the PoE NIC does not receive power over its Ethernet connection, the gateway must have another source of DC power connected to T6.Figure 40: Silver Network data connections (loop configurations)Figure 41: Silver Network RS-422 wiring diagramRS-422 Fiber Optic(use single pointgrounding, connect oneend of cable shield; trimthe other end and leaveit disconnected)1122334455RXB+RXB-GNDTXB+TXB-RXA+RXA-GNDTXA+TXA-112233445512345 123451122334455123451234512345 12345RXB+RXB-GNDTXB+TXB-RXA+RXA-GNDTXA+TXA-RXB+RXB-GNDTXB+TXB-RXA+RXA-GNDTXA+TXA-RXA+RXA-GNDTXA+TXA-12345RXB+RXB-GNDTXB+TXB-12345maximum 60 devicesmax. distance between devices = 1.2 km (3/4 mile)first device second device last deviceshield shieldshield shieldshieldshieldNOTE: Use single point grounding - connect one end of the cable shield, trim the other end and leave it disconnected.Network Interface Unitlightningarrestorslightningarrestorsto Network Manager

Installing the LM100 gatewayPage 40 Senstar LM100 Product GuidePower supply connectionsThe LM100 gateway operates on 12 to 48 VDC. The power connection is made on removable terminal block T6. In most cases, the luminaire AP’s power leads are also connected to T6. Network power supplyWhen using a centrally located network power supply, ensure that the supply has sufficient capacity if the gateway’s outputs will source power to auxiliary devices.Local power supplyIt is possible to use a local DC power supply when a source of AC power is readily available near the gateway. The DC power supply must be installed in its own weatherproof enclosure. The local supply can be mounted on the same post as the gateway to keep the wire runs to a minimum.Power over EthernetFor power over Ethernet, a class 3 PoE switch is required. In this configuration, minimum Category 5 cable must be used and the maximum distance between the gateway and the PoE switch is 100 m (328 ft.). Each gateway receiving PoE requires an earth ground connection. The PoE NIC can also supply power for the luminaire AP. Figure 39: shows a PoE NIC mounted on the gateway CCA.Backup powerSenstar recommends that the Senstar LM100 system be powered from an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Connect AC mains to the UPS and the UPS to the DC power source. In this way, if AC power is interrupted, the LM100 can operate on battery power while AC power is being restored.WARNING! DO NOT bring AC mains power into the gateway 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.Note When a central low voltage power supply is being used for primary power, it should be powered from an uninterruptible AC power source.Note See Figure 28: Figure 29: and Figure 36: for power connection details.CAUTION The PoE NIC is intended to supply power only to the LM100 gateway device on which it is mounted and the luminaire AP. Do not attempt to power additional luminaires, or an auxiliary device, with the PoE NIC.
Using the wireless gate sensorSenstar LM100 Product Guide Page 41Using the wireless gate sensorThe wireless gate sensor (WGS) operates in conjunction with the Senstar LM100 system to provide RF-based wireless security protection for gates. The WGS is comprised of two components. The wireless gate sensor module (GSM) is attached to the gate. The GSM analyzes signals picked up from the fence fabric on the gate and will transmit an alarm when it detects vibration, motion, or positional changes. A wireless gate sensor receiver (GSR) mounted on the LM100 gateway circuit card assembly (CCA) receives the transmission and passes on the alarm signal to the gateway. Alarm data communications are via the gateway over the Silver Network or by contact closures. Note See E7DA0103 Wireless Gate Sensor for information on installing and configuring the WGS.Figure 44: Wireless Gate Sensor exampleFigure 45: Solar powered Wireless Gate Sensor with magnetic gate contactup to 300 mgateway with Gate Gate Sensor Sensor Receiver Module

Test the installation (see System test procedure on page 65).Senstar LM100 definitions•head - Head is the term used to describe the electronic components of the luminaire. Each luminaire includes a head. The UCM uses the head to define segments, which are in turn assigned to zones. Each head is identified by a 5-digit mesh network Id (the head network Id is not related to the gateway’s Silver Network address).
Senstar LM100 configuration overviewPage 48 Senstar LM100 Product Guide•segment - A segment can be made up of a single head or a contiguous group of heads (numerically sequential). Segments are software-defined during setup, and are assigned to zones for display and control purposes. Each Senstar LM100 system can be comprised of up to 50 segments. A single segment, or multiple segments, can be assigned to one zone. A segment can have a relay associated with it for alarm reporting. Each luminaire segment has an independent event threshold. Segments can also be defined as inactive (no alarm detection) by setting the threshold to the maximum value of 255.•zone - A zone is made up of one or more segments, and is used for the control and annunciation of sensor alarms (graphic map display with target location to the nearest head). There can be up to 50 alarm zones per Senstar LM100 system. Zones are defined in software to match the site-specific zone layout details (e.g., scheduled luminaire activation, CCTV coverage, fence sections, gates, buildings, etc.). Any grouping of segments can be assigned to a zone. The segments do not have to be contiguous, and can come from any combination of heads.•threshold - The threshold defines the received signal strength at which a fence disturbance is added to the Event Count for each head. When the received signal exceeds the threshold, the Event Count is incremented.Senstar LM100 alarm detectionThe luminaires provide the detection for the Senstar LM100 system by evaluating the minute vibrations from the fence to determine whether a disturbance is a valid intrusion or environmental activity. The characteristic signal response of a cut event is a sharp spike with a fast rising edge and fast falling edge. For a climb event, the response includes the fast rising edge caused by the initial contact with the fence, which is followed by a series of peaks and valleys resulting from the continued presence and changing stresses on the fence. Environmental activity is generally of longer duration, lower magnitude, and has more gradual increases and decreases. Each luminaire analyzes the fence disturbance signals from the section of fence it monitors to determine a valid alarm condition. The luminaires communicate over the wireless mesh network and pass the alarm data to the gateway via the luminaire AP. The gateway records and reports the alarm. The gateway can record and report multiple disturbances simultaneously for the full length of the protected fence.The Threshold defines the signal strength for an Event (disturbance) to be added to the Event Count for each luminaire. An independent Threshold can be set for each defined luminaire segment communicating on the wireless network.For each luminaire:• When the received signal exceeds the Threshold setting, the Event Count is incremented. • The next Event will not be recorded until the period specified by the Event Window has lapsed.• Once the Event Window has lapsed, the next time the received signal exceeds the Threshold, the Event Count is incremented. • The Event Count is incremented when the received signal remains above the Threshold for the period specified by the Event Window (i.e., a climbing intrusion). • Each time the Event Count is incremented, the Alarm Window time is reset and begins counting down.• When the Event Count setting is reached within the Alarm Window time, a sensor alarm is triggered, and the Event Count is reset to zero.• If the Alarm Window Time lapses before the Event Count setting is reached, the Event Count is reset to zero without causing an alarm.
Initial gateway setupSenstar LM100 Product Guide Page 49Intrusion detectionThe Senstar LM100 system guards against three intrusion scenarios:• An intruder attempting to cut through the fence.• An intruder attempting to climb over the fence.• An intruder attempting to crawl under the fence by lifting the fence fabric.In local control mode, the relay that signals an intrusion alarm resets automatically when the event is over or when the relay Hold Time expires, whichever is longer. The relay Hold Time can be set to values ranging between 125 mS and 10 seconds.Cut detectionCutting the fence fabric produces a high amplitude signal that exceeds the Threshold. The first time the detection signal exceeds the Threshold, the Event Count is incremented, and the Alarm Window time count begins. The Event Window time setting must lapse before another Event will be counted. Each time the Event Count is incremented the Alarm Window time count is reset to zero. When the Event Count reaches the specified value within the Alarm Window time setting, the luminaire reports a sensor alarm to the gateway. If a subsequent Event is not recorded before the Alarm Window time runs out, the Event Count and the Alarm Window reset to zero.Climb detectionWhen an intruder attempts to climb over the fence, or lift the fence fabric to crawl under, a large number of energy pulses rapidly occur causing the received signal to exceed the Threshold. When the signal first exceeds the Threshold, the Event Count is incremented by one, and the Alarm Window time count begins. Typically, during a climb or lift type intrusion, the received signal remains above the Threshold as a result of the continued flexing and stressing of the fence fabric. The initial contact with the fence activates the Event Window time counter. Each time the Event Window time is reached, and the received signal strength remains above the Threshold, the Event Count is incremented by one. Each time the Event Count is incremented the Alarm Window time count is reset to zero. When the Event Count reaches the specified number within the Alarm Window time period, the gateway reports a sensor alarm at that location.Initial gateway setupSenstar recommends that the initial setup be done at the gateway location using a direct USB connection to the UCM. Note An enclosure tamper condition must exist to enable UCM communication via a USB connection.Note The gateway’s Address and Network Configuration settings can be adjusted only through a direct USB connection.
Sequencing the headsPage 50 Senstar LM100 Product GuideConnecting the UCM via USB1. Open the enclosure cover and connect the UCM computer to the gateway via USB (T3).2. Start the UCM software (the UCM Connect dialog displays see Figure 46: ).3. Specify the connection details:(e.g., Network Type: = Silver Network; Device Type = Senstar LM100; Address = 1 {default address}; select USB radio button; USB Device = gateway)4. Select Connect to establish a connection to the Senstar LM100.The Senstar LM100 Status window opens.Setting the gateway’s Silver Network address1. In the Program field select the Address button.The change Device Address dialog displays.2. In the Change Device Address dialog, specify the New Address for the connected Senstar LM100 gateway.3. Select the Program button.The new address takes effect when communications are reestablished.Silver Network configurationFor Senstar LM100 gateways that use Silver Network alarm data communications, you must define the network Protocol under the Network Cfig tab. There are two selectable Protocols based on the network configuration:• The Silver Star Protocol uses an IP backbone and an Ethernet connection to the gateway. This configuration is often used when the sensor network is distributed over a large area and consists of isolated blocks of sensors with only a few nodes in each block. A PoE switch can be used for communications and to power the gateway and luminaire AP.• The Silver Loop Protocol uses a ring topology and sends data in both directions around a perimeter to provide communication redundancy. The Silver Loop Protocol can use RS-422 wiring or fiber optic cable to connect the distributed sensors to the Silver Network Manager.1. Specify the network Protocol - Silver (Loop) or Silver (Star). 2. For the Silver Star configuration, specify the IP address, the subnet mask, the IP address of the switch (gateway) and the Speed and Duplex setting.3. Save and download the configuration changes to the gateway. Sequencing the heads The process of sequencing the heads is used to identify each luminaire by its installation location rather than its 5-digit network Id. Once the locations of the luminaires are known, they can be put into a logical order. The sequenced heads are then organized into segments and zones.Note Senstar LM100 gateways that are on a Silver Network require a unique network address (valid range from 1 to 60). Gateways that are not on a Silver Network can use the default address of 1.
Sequencing the headsSenstar LM100 Product Guide Page 51Sequencing can be done by 1 person who starts the recording and then does the location tests, or by 2 people with 1 monitoring the UCM and the other doing the location tests. To determine the physical position of each luminaire, and put them into an ordered list, 1 person goes around the perimeter fence causing a disturbance at each luminaire while the results are recorded on the UCM. The luminaire AP is the recommended starting point for the sequencing procedure. However, for your site-specific sensor layout you may prefer to begin at a particular corner or some other identifiable feature.Step 1: The Unordered Heads table is populated automatically by selecting the Record button. The Unordered Heads table includes a numbered list of all luminaires that are communicating on the wireless mesh network. Each luminaire is identified by a 5-digit mesh network Id. The Unordered Heads list is based on the luminaires’ RF communication pattern rather than the installation locations. This process can take several minutes to complete.Step 2: The Ordered Heads table is completed by conducting location tests to identify specific luminaires. The luminaires are moved automatically into the Ordered Heads table in the same order as the location tests are conducted. This enables the luminaires to be organized so that numerically sequential luminaires can be assigned to segments, regardless of their communication pattern. The segments are then assigned to zones for alarm reporting and routine scheduled lighting.Step 3: The Head Sequence table is completed manually by moving the heads from the Ordered Heads table. The Heads Sequence table also includes segment and zone number assignments, once the segments and zones are defined in the segment setting window on the Config tab.Note Senstar LM100 heads are organized into segments and zones in the same manner as a FlexZone sensor cable. Note The Define Head Sequence window includes 3 indicate buttons to assist in identifying specific luminaires. Select a luminaire from a list, select the indicate button below the list, and the specified head will flash 5 times.Figure 48: Define head sequence window (Unordered Heads)select the Sequence buttonselect the Record button tocreate a list of unordered(becomes Stop buttonto open the Definewhile recording)Head Sequence windowheads
Sequencing the headsPage 52 Senstar LM100 Product GuideCompiling the Unordered Heads list1. Establish a UCM connection to the gateway (USB or TCP/IP).2. On the Config tab, select the Sequence button.3. Select the Record button below the Unordered Heads table and wait for the LM100 gateway to compile the list of unordered heads (this process can take several minutes). 4. Select the Stop button once the compiled list is displayed in the Unordered Heads column.Verify that all of the installed luminaires have been added to the list to ensure that each luminaire in the system is communicating properly (e.g., If there are 38 luminaires in your Senstar LM100 system there should be 38 luminaires in the unordered list.)If the unordered list is incomplete, repeat this process extending the wait time, before selecting the stop button. If the list is still incomplete, you must determine which head is not communicating, and rectify the situation.5. Proceed to Compiling the Ordered Heads list on page 52.Compiling the Ordered Heads listLocation testing is done to identify the physical location of each installed luminaire. Each luminaire is moved from the Unordered Heads list into the Ordered Heads list in the order that the tests are conducted. To do the location testing, use a screwdriver (or a length of wood like a broomstick) to strike the shaft of the luminaire (if it is not possible to strike the luminaire’s shaft, strike the fence post on which the luminaire is mounted). Strike the shaft once firmly, to register the luminaire in the Ordered Heads list. This will cause the luminaire to flash twice, pause for a second, and then flash three times to indicate the luminaire has been moved into the Ordered Heads list. In the Ordered Heads list, the luminaire is identified by a number indicating the test order and by its 5-digit network Id (see Figure 49: ). If the luminaire flashes 4 times, this indicates that a second luminaire has also detected the location test event. In this case, repeat the procedure using less force when striking the shaft. If the luminaire flashes 5 times, this indicates that the luminaire is already included in the Ordered Heads table. In this case, proceed to the next luminaire and continue the location testing.1. Select the Record button below the Ordered Heads table and proceed to the designated first luminaire (usually the luminaire AP).2. Strike the shaft of the first luminaire firmly once.The luminaire will flash twice pause and then flash three times.The number one and the luminaire’s 5 digit Id are displayed at the top of the Ordered Heads list.3. Proceed to the second luminaire and strike the shaft of the second luminaire once.The luminaire will flash twice pause and then flash three times.The number two and the luminaire’s 5 digit Id are displayed on the second line of the Ordered Heads list.4. Proceed around the perimeter doing a location test at each luminaire, thereby, moving each luminaire to the Ordered Heads list in the desired sequence. 5. After conducting the test at the final luminaire on the perimeter, return to the UCM computer and select the Stop button.6. The Ordered Heads table is now populated by luminaires in the same order that the location tests were done.7. Proceed to Compiling the Head Sequence list on page 53.Tip Use a site plan and mark the number down (from the test order) beside each luminaire’s location as the tests proceed.
Sequencing the headsSenstar LM100 Product Guide Page 53Compiling the Head Sequence listThe Head Sequence list can be compiled one by one, or all of the heads in the Ordered Heads column can be moved to the Head Sequence table at once. To compile the list one head at a time, select a head from the Ordered Heads list then select the double arrow beside the Head Sequence column. To move all of the heads to the Head Sequence table at once, select the first luminaire in the Ordered Heads list, hold down the shift key and select the last luminaire in the Ordered Heads list to highlight all of the luminaires. Next, select the double arrow button to move the Ordered Heads list to the Head Sequence list in the same order.The Head Sequence list is used to setup segments and zones. To be a part of a segment, the position numbers of the heads must be sequential. For example, if six heads in the Ordered Heads list will make up a segment covering the South-West section of fence, then the six heads must be sequential in the Head Sequence list. 1. Select the first luminaire from the Ordered Heads list and move it to the Heads Sequence column by selecting the double arrow button.2. Select the second (sequential) luminaire from the Ordered Heads list and move it to the Head Sequence column by selecting the double arrow button.3. Continue this process until all of the heads are moved to the Head Sequence table in the desired order.4. If necessary, move the heads around the Head Sequence list by selecting a head and using the up down arrows to move the selected head’s position in the list.5. Close the Define Head Sequence window and select the Yes button to save the changes.6. Save the UCM file and download the configuration changes to the LM100 gateway.

Senstar LM100 calibrationPage 54 Senstar LM100 Product GuideSenstar LM100 calibrationWhen calibrating the Senstar LM100 for the first time, begin with the detection parameters in the default settings.The Sensitivity ProfileA Sensitivity Profile should be recorded for the full length of the protected fence. The Sensitivity Profile records each luminaire’s measured response to a consistent fence disturbance. The profile will verify the luminaire’s detection performance and can identify problems on the fence, or problems with a luminaire’s attachment.Recording the Sensitivity ProfileThe recommended method for creating the Sensitivity Profile is to drag a screwdriver or similar instrument along the fence fabric at a consistent height below, the luminaires. Beginning at the luminaire AP (or the designated first luminaire according to the Head Sequence table) place the screwdriver against the fence fabric and apply consistent pressure as you walk along the side of the fence. Keep the pressure steady and maintain a uniform pace as you drag the screwdriver along the fence fabric. When you reach the first fence post, lift the screwdriver over the post. Continue dragging the screwdriver along the fence fabric maintaining a consistent distance below the luminaires and lifting the screwdriver over each fence post until you reach the end of the protected fence. Keep the pressure of the screwdriver and your walking pace as consistent as possible. Repeat this process from the end of the protected fence back to the start point.

Verify that the All radio button is selected, and then select the Record button to begin recording the Sensitivity Profile.4. At the luminaire AP, begin dragging the screwdriver along the fence fabric. Lift the screwdriver over the post at each fence post (i.e., do not strike the fence posts with the screwdriver). 5. Maintain consistent pressure and a steady pace and continue dragging the screwdriver along the fence fabric at the same level height until reaching the end of the protected fence. 6. Repeat this process, dragging the screwdriver from the end point back to the start point.7. Select the Stop button to stop recording the Sensitivity Profile. 8. Review the Sensitivity Profile to verify that it was successful.9. Once you are satisfied with the profile, select the Update button to load the Sensitivity Profile data. If the recorded Sensitivity Profile is not acceptable, select the Undo button and repeat the profile procedure.10. Close the Profile window and download the Sensitivity Profile data to the gateway.Detection parameter setupThe Senstar LM100 detection parameters are setup globally through the gateway, and are applied to all of the luminaires. Senstar LM100 detection parameters include the Event Window, the Event Count and the Alarm Window. The Threshold is set independently for each defined luminaire segment.Each LM100 installation includes many site-specific factors. Therefore, the system should be calibrated to meet the site’s detection requirements:• Adjust the Threshold to increase or decrease the detection sensitivity of the selected segment.• Specify the number of Events required to trigger an alarm.• Specify the period of time that must lapse before a subsequent Event will be recorded at the same location.• Specify the period of time in which a subsequent Event must occur. Note If a sensitivity profile indicates a drop of 50 units within a 10 m length of the fence, it indicates that there is likely a problem at that location either with a luminaire or with the fence condition at that location (e.g., loose, sagging, stretched).Tip Senstar recommends that you save a UCM file that includes the recorded sensitivity profile. This can be useful for future maintenance and troubleshooting activities.Note The LM100 UCM Config tab includes an indicate button to assist in identifying specific luminaires. Select a luminaire, or a defined segment, select the indicate button, and the selected luminaire, or all of the luminaires in a segment, will flash 5 times.
Senstar LM100 calibrationPage 56 Senstar LM100 Product GuideDefining the luminaire segments and alarm zonesEach Senstar LM100 system can be organized into up to 50 segments. The defined segments can then be assigned to as many as 50 distinct alarm zones. Use the UCM software to organize the luminaires into segments, according to the site’s requirements for alarm detection and response. The segments are then assigned to zones to fit the alarm zone layouts for display and control, and routine lighting. Once the segments and zones are setup, you adjust the Threshold independently for each defined segment to match the sensors response to the fence conditions and to increase or decrease the detection sensitivity for that segment. Figure 51: LM100 Config tabNote Luminaires must be numbered sequentially in the Head Sequence list to be assigned together in a segment (e.g., heads 4, 5, 6, 7 could be assigned to a segment, but heads 4, 5, 6, 9 could not).Note Any luminaires that are used only for lighting purposes (e.g., to light a walkway or entrance) should be assigned to a segment in which the threshold is set to maximum. This enables routine scheduled lighting control and disables alarm detection.

Senstar LM100 calibrationSenstar LM100 Product Guide Page 57Defining the initial zoneWhen the sequencing procedure is completed, the segment setting window on the Config tab will have one segment which is assigned to zone 1 (see Figure 51: ).Defining the segmentsThe first segment, Segment 1, Zone 1 includes Head: 1 to 100 (even if the system does not include 100 luminaires). Select the Split button and there will be 2 segments, with both assigned to Zone 1. Segment 1 includes luminaires 1 - 50 and Segment 2 includes luminaires 51 - 100. (Each time you select the split button, you divide the selected segment into two equal sections.) Next, specify the luminaire that will be the start point of the second segment. (e.g., If the first segment will include luminaires 1 to 7, then the second segment will start with luminaire 8.) Next, assign the defined segment a zone number for alarm reporting and lighting control. Each LM100 can include up to 50 segments and up to 50 distinct alarm zones. 1. Below the segment setting window, select the Split button.The selected segment is divided into 2 sections, the white section is the currently selected segment. 2. Left-click the boundary line and drag the zone boundary to the appropriate point in the segment setting window (or use the Head: field spin control to enter the number of the luminaire that represents the start of the currently selected segment).3. Use the Zone: spin control to assign the segment to an alarm zone (label the zone according to the site plan; multiple segments can be assigned to one zone).4. Repeat this procedure to define each luminaire segment and zone, as specified in the site plan.5. Save the UCM file and download the configuration data to the gateway.Note You can use the horizontal magnification button to provide a closer view. Figure 52: Defining luminaire segmentsmagnification buttonsuse the Delete button to merge the selectedsegment with the preceding segmentsegment assigned to Zone 5 has threshold set the assigned Zone label is centered at the topof the segmentto maximum (255) to enable scheduled lightcontrol and disable alarm detection
Senstar LM100 calibrationPage 58 Senstar LM100 Product GuideVerifying the luminaire segment boundaries 1. Establish a UCM connection to the LM100 gateway and select the Config tab.2. Select File > Response Plot and set the Senstar LM100 response plot so the Display Format is Magnitude vs Location, the Heads: All radio button is selected, and the Peak Capture checkbox is selected. 3. Select the Record button to start the plot. 4. Have the tester tap the fence post of the luminaire that is defined as the start point of the second segment with the blade of a screwdriver (or similar object). Use consistent force and tap 3 times waiting 2 seconds between each tap.5. On the UCM, verify that the alarm was reported by the luminaire defined as the second segment’s start boundary. 6. Move along and continue tapping fence posts to mark the start points of the designated segment boundaries.Setting the ThresholdThe Threshold represents the received signal strength at which the Event Count is incremented. An independent Threshold can be set for each of the defined segments. Thresholds can be adjusted for any high risk or low threat areas, as well as any areas that may be subject to a higher NAR such as an open stretch of fence that is regularly exposed to strong winds. The Threshold can also be used to disable alarm detection in a segment by setting the Threshold to the maximum value of 255. Reducing the Threshold in high risk areas will increase the Pd in that area. However, a lower Threshold setting may increase the nuisance alarm rate. For an area where the threat is considered low, increasing the Threshold will reduce the chance of nuisance alarms occurring while still providing an acceptable Pd.Note Senstar recommends marking a site plan (or a table) with numbered luminaire locations, the segments to which the luminaires are assigned and the alarm zones to which the luminaire segments are assigned.The initial segment begins with luminaire 1 (by default).Note You can use the indicate button to identify boundary locations by activating the head that represents the boundary.Figure 53: Segment and zone assignments on the Head Sequence window
Senstar LM100 calibrationSenstar LM100 Product Guide Page 59The Threshold is usually set with respect to the recorded Sensitivity Profile. Select a segment, then use the Threshold: spin controls to set the Threshold for that segment. A good starting point is to set the Threshold just below the recorded Sensitivity Profile in each segment. You can use the up down arrows beside the segment setting window to lower, or raise the Threshold for all defined segments. Segment threshold setting procedure 1. Establish a UCM connection to the gateway and select the Config tab.2. Select a segment then use the Threshold: spin controls to set the Threshold for that segment.3. Repeat for each defined segment.4. Use the Threshold adjustment arrows to adjust the Threshold for all installed luminaires, if desired.5. Save the UCM file and download the configuration data to the gateway. Figure 54: illustrates a Segment setting window for an LM100 system, which has been split into 6 segments and 5 zones. Segments 1, 2, 4 and 5 (Zones 1, 2 and 4) use the same Threshold setting. Segment 4 (Zone 3) is considered a high threat area and the Threshold has been set to a lower value to increase the detection sensitivity in that zone. Segment 3 represents a group of luminaires that are used exclusively for lighting purposes (no alarm detection required) so the segment Threshold is set to the maximum value of 255.Note Left-clicking in the Segment window and using the up and down arrows on the keyboard, or the mouse wheel will also adjust the Threshold.Note Set the Threshold after the Sensitivity Profile is completed and downloaded to the gateway.Note Intrusion testing is used to verify the Threshold settings.Figure 54: Setting the segment ThresholdsThresholdlower Threshold setting for high security Zone 3Threshold set for scheduled lightcontrol without alarm detection(segment Threshold set to 255)
Senstar LM100 calibrationPage 60 Senstar LM100 Product GuideIntrusion simulationsConduct simulations for both cut and climb intrusions to test the Senstar LM100 system. The easiest method for simulating a cut intrusion is to firmly tap the fence with the blade of a medium sized screwdriver. Hold the screwdriver by the handle, and flip your wrist to bring the blade into contact with the fence. The metal on metal contact generates an impulse that is similar to the cutting of a fence wire. Weaving a length of fence wire into the fence fabric and then cutting the inserted wire can also simulate a cut intrusion. Both methods generate a signal that is similar to the response of an actual cut intrusion. An actual fence cut also creates a significant amount of secondary fence noise as the cut section of wire pulls apart. For a simulated climb intrusion, the best method is to actually climb the fence. It is not necessary to climb over the fence. The tester simply needs to climb on the fence for a period that exceeds the Event Window time setting X the Event Count setting (e.g., 1 second X 3 Events = 3 seconds). If climbing on the fence is not possible, dragging a screwdriver across the surface of the fence can be used as a climb simulation. Place the blade of a screwdriver against the fence fabric and drag the screwdriver back and forth across the fence panel while applying light pressure. Continue this for the Event Window time setting X the Event Count setting.Start a UCM magnitude response plot and then thoroughly test the detection along the full length of the protected fence, while running the plot. Adjust the detection parameters if any of the test intrusions fails to report an alarm simulation. Next, run a long term UCM magnitude response plot to monitor the system for nuisance alarms, especially during periods of inclement weather. Adjust the detection parameters if bad weather causes an unacceptable nuisance alarm rate. Once the system is detecting all intrusion simulations and the NAR is at an acceptable rate, the system is properly calibrated for the site. Save a UCM file that includes the gateway’s current settings.
Scheduling routine light activationSenstar LM100 Product Guide Page 61Scheduling routine light activationOnce the segment and zone assignments are made, a schedule can be setup for routine light activation. The Senstar LM100 enables up to 8 independently scheduled light activations for defined luminaire zones. Set the light level (brightness) for normal light control on the Config tab. Specify the time at which the lights turn on, the time at which the lights turn off, the days of the week on which the activations occur, and the zone to which the schedule applies, on the Schedule tab.

On the Aux Cfig tab select the Arrow beside the Aux Control: field.2. Specify the control mode for this gateway (Local or Remote).3. If the gateway includes an option card, specify the type (Input or Output).4. Use the 10 Aux Type radio buttons to set each I/O point as either an input or an output.5. Save the UCM configuration file and download the configuration changes to the gateway.Auxiliary (Aux) inputsThe I/O points specified as inputs on the gateway are voltage sensing inputs. The gateway determines an input’s status via an internal reference voltage, and the configuration of the contact closures and supervision resistors. Input contact closures MUST be voltage-free. Define the inputs as normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) with single resistor supervision, dual resistor supervision, or unsupervised. The Filter Window parameter enables the setting of the time period for which an input must be active, before the gateway reports an event.Local control modeIn local control mode, the Aux inputs are used to activate luminaire zones in response to the inputs of auxiliary security equipment. Select the input, specify the input’s parameters, and then specify which luminaire zone will be activated when the input is activated.Remote control modeIn Remote control mode, the Aux inputs serve as auxiliary device inputs to the host Security Management System (SMS). The inputs are available for reporting the status of other security devices. The gateway reports any change of an input’s state to the SMS via the Silver Network Manager.Note See document # 00DA1003-002 for details on using the UltraLink modular I/O system to report Senstar LM100 alarm conditions.Figure 56: Aux Type settingsNote The four inputs on the (dry contact input card) DRIC function the same as the inputs on the gateway. Follow the directions for setting up the gateway’s AUX inputs to setup the inputs on the DRIC (if applicable).use the radio buttons to specify each port’s function
Input/output configurationSenstar LM100 Product Guide Page 63Remote light activationIn both local control mode and remote control mode, the LM100 can be configured to have specific luminaires activated from remote locations. In local control mode, a simple on/off switch in a central control room can be connected to an Aux input on the gateway. When the switch is turned on the aux input goes high and the luminaire zone that is specified to activate in response turns on (Zone Light Activate on the Aux Config tab). In remote control mode a command from the host SMS can activate a luminaire zone.Input wiring configurationsTable 2: includes the selectable Aux input wiring configurations, and Table 3: includes the selectable supervision resistor values.

Zone alarms are assigned on the segment setting window on the Config tab.5. Repeat this procedure for each defined output.6. Save the UCM configuration file and download the configuration changes to the gateway.Output relay setup (Remote control mode)In Remote control mode, the relays are controlled by the host SMS to operate auxiliary equipment as output control points (e.g., to activate lights, doors, sirens, CCTV equipment, etc.). The relays are configured to respond to commands from the host computer. Configure the relays as latching (ON by command, OFF by command) or in flash mode (ON-OFF-ON-OFF etc. by command, OFF by command) or in pulse mode (ON for a period, then OFF). For flash and pulse modes, the ON-OFF time duration is configurable.CAUTION The I/O port configuration jumpers must be correctly set according to the specific function of each port (see I/O port jumpers on page 32).Note The four outputs on the ROC are Form C (selectable as N.O. or N.C.). The ROC outputs cannot source or sink power.Note To use the onboard relays, the gateway ports must be configured as outputs via the Aux Type radio buttons.Note To assign relays to specific zones, see Linking segments to relays (local control mode) on page 65.

Senstar LM100 Product Guide Page 674 MaintenanceRecommended maintenanceThe Senstar LM100 system requires minimal maintenance to ensure proper operation. However, setting up and following a maintenance schedule based on your site-specific requirements can ensure proper detection performance, prevent nuisance alarms and extend the operational lifetime of the system. The frequency at which the maintenance should be scheduled depends on the site’s security requirements and on the installation environment. This section includes the recommended maintenance activities along with suggested intervals.1. Perform a visual inspection of the installation (once per month). Check for the following: • fence condition - ensure the fence is in good condition and that there are no loose panels, loose fittings or metal bits that can move with the wind and cause nuisance alarms (a shake test in which you grip the fence fabric in the middle of a panel and gently shake it with an increasing motion can help identify any loose pieces) • there are no washouts or depressions under the fence• vegetation beside and above the fence is cut back and cannot make contact with the fence or the luminaires, and there is no debris or loose material close to the fence• there are no loose clamps; each luminaire is held tightly against the fence post• power cables are neatly installed and are held securely by the cable ties• there is no corrosion or moisture inside the gateway enclosure• the ground connection is tight• there are no vehicles or equipment close enough to the fence to be used as bridging aids2. Physically test the system (once per week).• use a screwdriver to simulate a series of cut intrusions and verify that alarms are declared and accurately located each time• climb the fence at several locations and verify that alarms are declared and accurately located each time3. Record a UCM LM100 response plot (quarterly).Connect the UCM to the gateway and record a sensor response plot while conducting tap tests along the protected fence. Note the environmental conditions at the time of the recording. Review the plot to examine the response and the ambient noise level, and compare the plot to any previously recorded plots. Depending on the weather conditions, the recorded plots should be quite similar. During inclement weather the noise level will be higher, and during good weather with very little wind, the noise level should be extremely low.
Recommended maintenancePage 68 Senstar LM100 Product Guide4. Snow removal (as required)If the weather conditions at your site include snow falls, the fence should be kept clear of accumulating snow. If snow accumulates against and around the fence, it will absorb and dampen the vibrations caused by an intrusion attempt. In addition, if there is significant snow accumulation, the snow can serve as a bridging aid to defeat the system.Preventing weather related nuisance alarmsIf your Senstar LM100 system is having a problem with nuisance alarms during inclement weather, connect the UCM to the gateway and review the alarm history to try to determine the source of the nuisance alarms. Investigate the areas near the luminaire(s) with the highest alarm count. Inspect the fence to ensure it is in good condition and there are no loose fittings that can cause metal on metal contact. Check the attachment and test the detection of any luminaire(s) with a higher than average nuisance alarm rate.For network based systems, run a UCM response plot through the Network Manager during periods of inclement weather. If the weather causes an unacceptable number of nuisance alarms, review the plot and the processor history and adjust the Threshold to mitigate the effects of the weather. For standalone systems that encounter an unacceptable number of nuisance alarms during inclement weather, connect the UCM to the gateway, review the processor history and adjust the Threshold to mitigate the effects of the weather.To determine if there are any loose fittings or parts of the fence that can cause nuisance alarms in windy weather, grip a fence panel in the middle and push and pull on the fence with an increasing motion. Run a response plot to record the shake tests, and listen for any metal on metal contact. Review the plot, looking for any response spikes that are over the threshold. If the shake test causes metal on metal contact, or generates response spikes over the threshold, locate and correct the problems on the fence. This will help to prevent weather related nuisance alarms.Adjusting the Target FiltersThe gateway includes both a high pass and a low pass filter which can be used to screen out some sources of nuisance alarms. Before adjusting the Target Filters, verify that the fence is not loose and that there are no objects or vegetation that may be contacting the fence in strong winds. The default value for the high pass filter is 2 Hz, the default value for the low pass filter is 400 Hz.• If the site is encountering an unacceptably high NAR during moderate to strong winds, increase the high pass filter setting slightly to lessen the effects of wind sway and continue monitoring for nuisance alarms.• If the site is encountering detection problems (low sensitivity) rather than nuisance alarms, the most likely source of the problem is loose fence conditions. Repeat the profiling procedure and compare it to the original sensitivity profile. Once the location of the low sensitivity has been determined, correct the problem by repairing the damaged section of fence. If the fence has been restored to the fullest extent possible and the sensitivity problems persist, it may be necessary to install additional luminaires in this area. Note After adjusting the Threshold, retest the system to ensure that the detection meets the site’s security requirements.Figure 58: Target Filtershigh pass filter low pass filter

Label and disconnect the removable terminal blocks.2. Disconnect the tamper switch connector from the gateway.3. If required, remove the network interface card.4. Remove and retain the mounting hardware from the gateway CCA (2 standoffs, 2 machine screws + washers) (see Figure 28: ).5. Lift the gateway CCA out of the enclosure. Place the CCA into an anti-static bag.Replacing the gateway assembly1. Fit the replacement gateway inside the enclosure so the 4 mounting holes are lined up with the standoffs.2. Use the retained mounting hardware to secure the CCA to the enclosure.3. If required, replace the network interface card.4. Reconnect the tamper switch connector.5. Reinstall the removable terminal blocks.6. Apply power to the gateway, connect the UCM and download the replaced gateway’s configuration file to the replacement gateway.7. Retest the protected fence.Updating the Senstar LM100 FirmwareTo update the Senstar LM100 device firmware (gateway, luminaire, wireless gate sensor) select the Application button in the Program field at the top of the UCM screen. The following example will illustrate updating the luminaire firmware, which can take up to 30 minutes to complete due to the distributed locations of the luminaires, and the low power RF transmissions. Begin by obtaining the firmware upgrade from Senstar Technical Services. Save the firmware file to a known location (e.g., a folder on your desktop). Save a UCM file with your current settings as a safety backup before proceeding with the update.1. Select the Application button in the Program field at the top of the UCM screen.Note Always reprofile and retest the fence if the Target Filters are adjusted or fence repairs are madeCAUTION The gateway and the NIC include static sensitive components. Follow proper ESD handling procedures when working on the electronics. Place both circuit card assemblies (CCA) into anti-static bags once they are removed from the enclosure.Disconnect all power sources before removing the gateway from the enclosure.
