1 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 1.0 Introduction This manual describes the operation and usage of the PT-210M Processor/Transmitter. The PT-210M is a specifically designed transmitter for use with the Multi-Use Radio Service (MURS) system. It uses five allocated frequencies, under FCC regulation, that do not require a specific frequency license to use. The PT-210M incorporates sensor-processing circuitry with a narrow band FM transmitter to relay sensor data back to a receiving site. The sensor processing circuitry and transmitter is contained in a compact, aluminum waterproof case which may be deployed either above ground or buried for covert monitoring. A single PT-210M unit can receive, process and transmit information generated by seismic, infrared and magnetic sensor detectors either individually or in various combinations of deployment. The contact switch and optional serial sensor input allow for the use of additional sensor technology. The unit is easily configured for use with either a PC desktop computer or a ruggedized PDA device containing Microsoft Windows operating systems. The user has the option to change frequencies, sensitivity levels, active and inactive operating times, and a variety of other operating parameters. An internal animal filter can also be adjusted to assist in the differentiation of humans, animals, and vehicles. Contained herein is a hardware overview of the PT-210M and its associated sensor potentials and a summary of the programming and configuration software available for use with the PT-210M. Notice for use: In compliance with FCC RF Hazard Exposure Requirements, this device should only be used at a distance of 20cm or more from any person. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Eagle/Telonics J/V or Telonics, Inc. could void the users authority to operate the equipment. 1.1 System Enhancements • EIDS Code Format - The proprietary EIDS code format is an enriched digital message format providing users with specific information regarding intrusions and events. The EIDS format greatly reduces sensor training and configuration time by assigning a dedicated channel number to all possible events and detector classifications. Using the EIDS RM-2000 receiver, specific information regarding events or intrusions, such as pedestrian, PIR/Mag, or low battery, is displayed for the user. The EIDS format also includes an event counter, which can be used to determine whether or not all transmitted events have been received. The event counter, which ranges from 0 to 63, is incremented each time a new event is detected. After reaching 63, the next event detection causes the counter to reset to 0. In cases where the PT-210 is programmed with a digital transmit count greater than 1, the event counter remains
2 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 unchanged during retransmissions of the event. The RM-2000 receiver displays the event counter value along with other associated event information (Unit ID, event description, and so on). • Dual Transmission Modes - The PT-210M can send a digital and voice message for each intrusion or event. This feature allows frontline personnel to receive voice alerts directly over VHF communication receivers, while transmitting a digital message for data logging, mapping, or network integration. Separate operating frequencies for the digital and voice transmissions may also be programmed. • Qualify mode for any two detectors - Previous versions of processor/transmitters required either a seismic detector or contact switch activation, in-conjunction with any other sensor for a qualified detection to occur. The PT-210M now offers the increased flexibility of selecting any two or more detectors for qualify mode. When two or more detectors are selected in qualify mode and any two are triggered within the qualify time period, the Qualify message is displayed on the receiver. When a seismic detector with vehicle or pedestrian detections is triggered in Qualify mode, additional qualify information is reported by displaying Qual/Vehicle or Qual/Pedestrian at the receiver. Note: Seismic is considered a single detector even if both vehicle and pedestrian are enabled. • Multiple Status Reports -The PT-210M may be configured to transmit up to two distinct status messages per 24-hour period. • Enhanced Security – Tamper Sensing Included On Sensor Cabling - The PT-210M tamper system now reports if a detector cable is cut or removed. This applies only when current model seismic, passive infrared, and magnetic detectors are used. Note: A special terminator cap (part # CN007578-001) must be attached to terminate the final deployed seismic cable when the SP-500P-2 is used.
3 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 Figure 1 PT-210M Processor/Transmitter 2.0 PT-210 Hardware Overview The PT-210M is a multi-purpose processing unit, designed to accept up to four sensor inputs; one seismic, two inputs for either magnetic or passive infrared, and a switch closure input. These inputs may be used either singularly, in any combination, or all at the same time. The following paragraphs describe the different types of sensors that may be used with the PT-210M. 2.1 Sensors 2.1.1 Seismic The seismic sensor may be installed into either the Left or Right input of the PT-210M. A special "Y" adapter cable may be used to connect seismic when two additional sensors (Magnetic or PIR) are connected to the left and right inputs. The seismic input may also be used with multiple seismic sensors connected together to form a string. 2.1.2 Magnetic The magnetic sensor(s) may be connected to the Left and/or Right inputs of the PT-210M. If two sensors are used, the PT-210M may be configured to either report single detections or directional detections. If both left and right inputs are to be used for infrared and/or magnetic, a special "Y" adapter cable may be used to also connect seismic to one of the inputs. Note: A single magnetic sensor may not be used to detect directional travel.
4 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 2.1.3 Passive Infrared The two inputs marked Left and Right may also be used for passive infrared (PIR) sensors. Each PIR sensor contains two sensing elements, which enable the user to deploy them in the following configurations: In the single Left\Right mode, each sensor is programmed to report a specific event when that sensor is triggered. The user then knows which individual sensor was triggered. Alternatively, the PT-210M may be programmed in the Directional mode. In this mode, the PT-210M determines the target’s direction of travel and reports the direction as a specific event. Direction may be determined by using two PIR sensors, or a single PIR sensor. Long range (IF-540) and short range (IF-520) models are available. 2.1.3.1 Two PIR Sensor Deployment Two PIR sensors may be connected, one to the L (left) and one to the R (right) input connectors, in which case only one element in each PIR sensor is utilized. 2.1.3.2 Single Sensor Deployment A single PIR sensor may also be used for direction sensing. The cable can connect to the Right or Left input connector, and users must select the "One Sensor" option with the software or programmer. 2.1.4 Contact Sensor Any sensor that provides a switch open or switch closure may be used to trigger an alarm transmission by the PT-210M. Sensors such as a pressure mat, trip wire, or active infrared may be utilized. Connect pin "J" of the AUX connector to the switch of the external device and pin "G" of the AUX connector to ground.
5 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 2.2 Camera Trigger The PT-210M has the ability to provide the user with an external camera trigger. The trigger is activated each time a detection occurs. The camera trigger circuit provides the user with an interface between the PT-210M and an externally connected device (i.e. relay, still camera or video camera.) When the camera trigger is activated, a switch-to-ground is closed for the user-selected time period – 0 to 1.5 seconds in 50 millisecond increments. The camera trigger exits the PT-210M through the "A" pin of the auxiliary "AUX" connector and pin "G" is ground. 2.3 Communications Communications operations are conducted through the AUX connector using a separate Smart Cable (part# WI001615-003) connected to either a desktop PC computer or a PDA-4000 Handheld PRogrammer 2.4 Antenna The supplied stainless steel 1/4 wave right-angle whip antenna attaches to the TNC connector on the PT-210M. 2.5 Power Source 2.5.1 Primary Source The PT-210M's flexibility allows for use of a variety of DC battery power sources to supply the unit. If a custom power source is used, it must adequately supply a +9 to +15 volt DC source with capacity rated for the operational life desired. The standard power source is an 8 cell, 9 volt alkaline battery pack, (EN22 or equivalent) contained within an integral battery compartment A battery pack comprised of three D-cell lithium batteries may be substituted for use in extreme cold deployments. There is no ON/OFF switch on the PT-210M. The unit is operational upon connection of the power source and sensors.
6 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 2.5.2 Secondary Source An additional power source supplying +12 volts DC +/-12% may be connected externally to the "AUX" connector. Connect pin "C" on the "AUX" connector to the + voltage and pin "G" to ground. 3.0 PT-210 PC Configuration Software 3.1 Software Installation 1.

10 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 3.3.3 Tools Selection 3.3.3.1 Factory Set Parameters Factory Set Parameters are informational only. Factory authorization is required for adjustment. This information is valuable to PT-210M users when Voice Transmissions are enabled. The ID numbers assigned to the various sensors and internally generated alarms are displayed. When a voice transmission is received, the Message ID Number correlates to the following table: 3.3.3.2 Sensor Inhibit Parameters The Inhibit Parameters specify a shutdown period where the sensor circuits are desensitized immediately prior to a message transmission, and remain desensitized for the selected amount of time after the end of transmission. The Inhibit period allows the RF transmission energy to dissipate, preventing false detections caused by potential feedback through the sensitive detection processing circuit.
11 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 The minimum 5-second value is adequate for Sensor Inhibit settings. A minimum 7 seconds value is recommended for the Transmit Inhibit. In some instances, a longer inhibit time may be desired to reduce transmissions in areas which experience high levels of activity. 3.3.3.3 System Information Displays System Information with no user adjustable parameters.

The transmission sent is the Unit ID number with the message “Status”.
13 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 3.4.6 What’s this? “What’s This” provides access to help topics associated with on-screen parameters. Clicking the “What’s This” button on the Speed Bar initiates a (?) question mark next to the cursor . When the cursor is hovered over the text of an on-screen parameter and left clicked, a dialog box appears with related help text. “What’s This” is also called by positioning the cursor over the desired text and right clicking or selecting “What’s This” from the Help list in the Menu Bar. 3.5 Programming Parameters Programming Parameters are the variables that define the operation of the PT-210M. These parameters are read and programmed into the PT-210M’s microprocessor. The PT-210M software groups the variables into the following topics: Qualify Mode Left/Right Sensors Transmissions Seismic Detection Schedule Camera Trigger Auxiliary Sensors Status Check in
14 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 3.5.1 Qualify Mode In Qualify Mode, two physically different sensors must be triggered within the Qualify Period before a qualify event will be transmitted. Eligible sensors are Seismic (Pedestrian and Vehicle), Left, Right, Contact, and Serial. Check the enable box to activate Qualify Mode. Note: If a Seismic/Pedestrian detection is involved, the event transmitted will be QUAL/PEDESTRIAN. If a Seismic/Vehicle detection is involved, the event transmitted will be QUAL/VEHICLE. With all other combinations, the event transmitted will be simply QUAL. 3.5.1.1 Qualify Period When Qualify Mode is enabled, select the Qualify Time Period within which two physically different sensors must trigger to generate a detection message. The Qualify Period starts when the system is in Qualify Mode and activity is detected on an enabled sensor. Before the Qualify Period expires, a detection must occur on another (physically different) sensor in order for the qualify event to be transmitted. The valid range for this parameter is 00:01 to 59:59 (minutes and seconds). 3.5.2 Seismic Sensor Setup 3.5.2.1 Seismic Sensitivity The Seismic Sensitivity control is used to adjust the sensitivity of the SEISMIC (Pedestrian/Vehicle) sensor. The sensitivity is adjustable from 1 (least sensitive) to 5 (most sensitive). This setting is only available when Pedestrian or Vehicle Detections are enabled. Note: A setting of 3 is satisfactory for most installations. Also note that high settings can trigger false detections. Therefore, set the sensitivity only as high as necessary to obtain the required coverage.
15 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 If this control is unchecked, Seismic/Pedestrian detections will be ignored. If checked, detections will be processed based on the PT-210M operating mode: Qualify Mode off: The PEDESTRIAN event code will be transmitted. Qualify Mode on: The QUAL/PEDESTRIAN event code will be transmitted. 3.5.2.2 Use Animal Filter If this control is checked, Seismic/Pedestrian activity will be processed through an Animal Filter program. The program distinguishes human activity from animal activity based on time between footsteps. If the Animal Filter determines that an animal has caused the activity, the detection will be ignored. Note: When the animal filter is turned on, a group of pedestrians may produce a signature similar to that of four legged animals, causing the activity to be ignored. In areas where group pedestrian traffic is anticipated, the animal filter should be turned off. 3.5.2.3 Count Footsteps If this control is checked, the Animal Filter will be disabled and Seismic/Pedestrian activity will be processed using a simple counter. When using this method, a 5-second timer is started when the first footstep is detected. If a sufficient number of steps are detected before the timer expires, a PEDESTRIAN event is transmitted. If the number of steps is insufficient and the timer expires, the mechanism resets. The number of footsteps required for an event is set with the adjacent control. 3.5.2.4 Enable Vehicle Detections If this control is unchecked, Seismic/Vehicle detections will be ignored. If checked, detections will be processed based on the PT-210M operating mode: Qualify Mode off: The VEHICLE event code will be transmitted. Qualify Mode on: The QUAL/VEHICLE event code will be transmitted.
16 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 3.5.3 Auxiliary Sensor Setup 3.5.3.1 Enable Contact Switch Detections If this control is unchecked, Contact Switch detections will be ignored. If checked, detections will be processed based on the PT-210M operating mode: Qualify Mode off: The CONTACT event code will be transmitted. Qualify Mode on: A qualified detection will transmit the QUAL event code. If a SEISMIC detection is involved, QUAL/VEHICLE or QUAL/PEDESTRIAN event codes will be transmitted 3.5.3.2 Enable Tamper Detections If this control is unchecked, cable tamper and motion tamper detections will be ignored. If checked, TAMPER events will be processed. If Voice transmissions are enabled (transmit count > 0), the TAMPER event code will be transmitted using synthesized voice 3 times, overriding a transmit count of 1 or 2. If Digital transmissions are enabled (transmit count > 0), the TAMPER event code will be transmitted using the EIDS digital format 3 times, overriding a transmit count of 1 or 2. 3.5.3.3 Enable Serial Sensor Detections (Optional) If this control is unchecked, Serial Sensor detections will be ignored. If checked, an event code in the range 33 to 63 will be transmitted. The event code is application specific and requires custom programming of the serial sensor module prior to deployment. If checked and custom programming has been performed, detections will be processed based on the PT-210M operating mode: Qualify Mode off: The SERIAL event code will be transmitted. Qualify Mode on: A qualified detection will transmit the QUAL event code. If a SEISMIC detection is involved, QUAL/VEHICLE or QUAL/PEDESTRIAN event codes will be transmitted Note: The serial sensor module monitors the incoming battery supply voltage. If the battery voltage is interrupted, the serial sensor module will initiate a series of 3 BATT FAULT transmissions. The transmission of this event cannot be disabled.
17 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 3.5.4 Left/Right Sensors 3.5.4.1 Left Sensor Sensitivity The Left Sensitivity control is used to adjust the sensitivity of the LEFT sensor. The sensitivity is adjustable from 1 (least sensitive) to 5 (most sensitive). Note: A setting of 4 is satisfactory for most installations. High settings can trigger false detections. Set the sensitivity only as high as necessary to obtain the required coverage. 3.5.4.2 Right Sensor Sensitivity The Right Sensitivity control is used to adjust the sensitivity of the RIGHT sensor. The sensitivity is adjustable from 1 (least sensitive) to 5 (most sensitive). Note: A setting of 4 is satisfactory for most installations. High settings can trigger false detections. Set the sensitivity only as high as necessary to obtain the required coverage. 3.5.4.3 Independent When the Independent button is checked, the LEFT and RIGHT sensors are available for use independent of each other. To use Left or Right Sensors in Qualify Mode, independent mode must be selected. 3.5.4.4 Enable Left Detections If unchecked, Left sensor (Passive Infrared or Magnetic) detections will be ignored. When checked, detections will be processed based on the PT-210M operating mode. Qualify Mode off: The LEFT event code will be transmitted. Qualify Mode on: A qualified detection will transmit the QUAL event code. If a SEISMIC detection is involved, QUAL/VEHICLE or QUAL/PEDESTRIAN event codes will be transmitted.
18 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 3.5.4.5 Enable Right Detections If this control is unchecked, Right sensor (Passive Infrared or Magnetic) detections will be ignored. When checked, detections will be processed based on the PT-210M operating mode: Qualify Mode off: The RIGHT event code will be transmitted. Qualify Mode on: A qualified detection will transmit the QUAL event code. If a SEISMIC detection is involved, QUAL/VEHICLE or QUAL/PEDESTRIAN event codes will be transmitted. 3.5.4.6 Directional Mode When the Directional Mode button is checked, the LEFT and RIGHT sensors are configured to work together, allowing activity from left-to-right or right-to-left to be detected. Note: This mode of service is not available when Qualify mode is enabled. 3.5.4.7 Number of Sensors When using Passive Infrared sensors in Directional Mode, you have the option of using either 1 or 2 physical sensors. Directional mode using a single IF-520 or IF-540 is possible because the passive infrared sensor contains two sensing elements each producing a field of view. However, with one sensor, the angle of the dead zone separating the two fields of view is rather narrow (approximately 3 degrees). To increase deployment flexibility, the use of two sensors is recommended. When using a single sensor in directional mode, select 1. When using two sensors in directional mode, select 2. Note: The selection of one or two sensors applies to Passive Infrared sensors only. Magnetic sensors must be used in pairs. 3.5.4.8 Enable Left-To-Right Detections If this control is unchecked, left-to-right detections will be ignored. When checked, left-to-right detections will be processed within the limits imposed by Left-To-Right Minimum Delay and Directional Maximum Delay.
19 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 3.5.4.9 Left-To-Right Minimum Delay This is the minimum time period permissible between left and right detections. Detections that occur at a time interval less than the specified minimum time will be ignored. The valid range for this period is 00:00 to 04:59 (minutes and seconds). This delay must be less than the Directional Maximum Delay. A Minimum Delay is useful to detect slow moving objects within a monitored area. 3.5.4.10 Enable Right-To-Left Detections If this control is unchecked, right-to-left detections will be ignored. When checked, right-to-left detections will be processed within the limits imposed by Right-To-Left Minimum Delay and Directional Maximum Delay. 3.5.4.11 Right-To-Left Minimum Delay This is the minimum time period permissible between right and left detections. Detections that occur at a time interval less than the specified minimum time will be ignored. The valid range for this period is 00:00 to 04:59 (minutes and seconds). This delay must be less than the Directional Maximum Delay. A Minimum Delay is useful to detect slow moving objects within a monitored area. 3.5.4.12 Directional Maximum Delay This is the maximum time period permissible between detections from the left and right sensors. Detections that occur at a time interval greater than the specified maximum time will be ignored. The valid range for this period is 00:00 to 5:00 (minutes and seconds). This delay must be greater than the Left-To-Right Minimum Delay and/or the Right-To-Left Minimum Delay. A Maximum Delay is useful to detect fast moving objects within a monitored area.
20 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 3.5.5 Detection Schedule 3.5.5.1 Scheduled Detection Mode If this control is checked, the PT-210M will be “On Duty” (processing sensor detections) only from the “On Duty” time to the “Off Duty” time on the days specified. 3.5.5.2 Continuous Detection Mode If this control is checked, the PT-210M will be “On Duty” (processing sensor detections) at all times. 3.5.5.3 On Duty Time The On Duty time is used only with the Scheduled Detection Mode. This is the time of day the PT-210M will begin processing sensor detections and is programmable from 00:01 to 23:59 (hours and minutes). Note: The On Duty Time cannot be the same as the Off Duty Time, Status 1 Time, or Status 2 time. 3.5.5.4 Off Duty Time The Off Duty time is used only with the Scheduled Detection Mode. This is the time of day the PT-210M will stop processing sensor detections and is programmable from 00:01 to 23:59 (hours and minutes). Note: The Off Duty Time cannot be the same as the On Duty Time, Status 1 Time, or Status 2 Time.
21 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 3.5.5.5 Detection Days Of The Week When in Scheduled Detection Mode, the PT-210M can be programmed to process sensor activity on any desired day(s) of the week. To enable the PT-210M to go “On Duty” and process sensor detections, check the desired day(s) of the week. On days that are unchecked, the PT-210M will remain “Off Duty” when the On Duty time arrives. 3.5.6 Transmissions The PT-210M can transmit events using a digital format, voice format, or both as determined by the respective transmit count. 3.5.6.1 Unit ID The Unit ID establishes the PT-210M’s identity. All PT-210M transmissions contain the Unit ID as well as other information to describe the nature of the event. The Unit ID valid range is 0 to 8175. 3.5.6.2 Digital Transmit Count The Digital Transmit Count establishes the number of times a message will be transmitted using the EIDS digital format.

This is where the individual sensors are enabled or disabled, various sensitivity settings are adjusted and sensor modes of operation are established. Tap the Sensor Detection message text or double-tap the Sensor Detection contents field to access the adjustment screen. 4.5.3.1 Sensor Mode The sensor mode field allows the user to select Not Qualified, Qualified, or Directional detection modes. • Not Qualified is the mode of operation where all of the sensors act independently of each other and any single sensor can produce an alarm.
31 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 • Qualified is the mode of operation where two physically different sensors must act within the Qualify Period to produce an alarm. Eligible sensors are Seismic (Pedestrian and Vehicle), Left, Right, Contact, and Serial. Note: If a Seismic/Pedestrian detection is involved, the event transmitted will be QUAL/PEDESTRIAN. If a Seismic/Vehicle detection is involved, the event transmitted will be QUAL/VEHICLE. With all other combinations, the event transmitted will be simply QUAL. • Directional is the mode of operation where two sensors act as a pair allowing activity from left-to-right or right-to-left to be detected. Alternatively, one single PIR sensor may be used in directional mode. Note: This mode of service is not available when Qualify mode is enabled. 4.5.3.2 Qualify Period In order to access this field, the Qualified selection must be made in the Sensor Mode field above. The Qualify Period is the timeframe within which two physically different sensors must trigger to generate a detection message. The Qualify Period starts when activity is detected on an enabled sensor. Before the Qualify Period expires, a detection must occur on another (physically different) sensor in order for the event to be transmitted. The valid range for this parameter is 00:01 to 59:59 (minutes and seconds). Enter the desired range using the up and down arrows located next to the field box. 4.5.3.3 Sensors This section is where specific sensors or specific functions are selected. • Seismic-Veh: If this control is unchecked, Seismic/Vehicle detections will be ignored. If checked, detections will be processed based on the PT-210M operating mode: Qualify Mode off: The VEHICLE event code will be transmitted. Qualify Mode on: The QUAL/VEHICLE event code will be transmitted.
32 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 • Seismic-Ped: If this control is unchecked, Seismic/Pedestrian detections will be ignored. If checked, detections will be processed based on the PT-210M operating mode: Qualify Mode off: The PEDESTRIAN event code will be transmitted. Qualify Mode on: The QUAL/PEDESTRIAN event code will be transmitted. Checking this selection also enables a drop down list menu containing the Animal Filter and Footstep Counter. Tap the down arrow to view the list and use the stylus to make the desired selection. o Use Animal Filter: Seismic/Pedestrian activity will be processed through an Animal Filter program. The program distinguishes human activity from animal activity based on time between footsteps. If the Animal Filter determines that an animal has caused the activity, the detection will be ignored. Note: When the animal filter is turned on, a group of pedestrians may produce a signature similar to that of four legged animals, causing the activity to be ignored. In areas where group pedestrian traffic is anticipated, the animal filter should be turned off. o Count “#” step(s): Seismic/Pedestrian activity will be processed using a simple counter. When using this method, a 5-second timer is started when the first footstep is detected. If a sufficient number of steps are detected before the timer expires, a PEDESTRIAN event is transmitted. If the number of steps is insufficient and the timer expires, the mechanism resets. The number of footsteps required for a detection is dependant upon the number of steps selected in this field. Note: Counting steps disables the Animal Filter • Left: If unchecked, Left sensor (Passive Infrared or Magnetic) detections will be ignored. When checked, detections will be processed based on the PT-210M operating mode. Qualify Mode off: The LEFT event code will be transmitted. Qualify Mode on: A qualified detection will transmit the QUAL event code. If a SEISMIC detection is involved, QUAL/VEHICLE or QUAL/PEDESTRIAN event codes will be transmitted.
33 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 • Right: If this control is unchecked, Right sensor (Passive Infrared or Magnetic) detections will be ignored. When checked, detections will be processed based on the PT-210M operating mode: Qualify Mode off: The RIGHT event code will be transmitted. Qualify Mode on: A qualified detection will transmit the QUAL event code. If a SEISMIC detection is involved, QUAL/VEHICLE or QUAL/PEDESTRIAN event codes will be transmitted. • L-to-R: If this control is unchecked, left-to-right detections will be ignored. When checked, left-to-right detections will be processed within the limits imposed by Left-To-Right Minimum Delay and Directional Maximum Delay featured in the Directional Mode configuration screen in section 4.5.3.4. Note: Though this field is accessible, the Directional mode must be selected in the Sensor mode field in section 4.5.3.1. • R-toL: If this control is unchecked, right-to-left detections will be ignored. When checked, right-to-left detections will be processed within the limits imposed by Right-To-Left Minimum Delay and Directional Maximum Delay featured in the Directional Mode configuration screen in setion 4.5.3.4. Note: Though this field is accessible, the Directional mode must be selected in the Sensor mode field in section 4.5.3.1. • Serial: Serial sensor detections are only available on models that have the serial sensor hardware installed. If this control is unchecked, serial sensor detections will be ignored. If checked, an event code in the range 33 to 63 will be transmitted. The event code is application specific and requires custom programming of the serial sensor module prior to deployment. If checked and custom programming has been performed, detections will be processed based on the PT-210M operating mode: Qualify Mode off: The SERIAL event code will be transmitted. Qualify Mode on: A qualified detection will transmit the QUAL event code. If a SEISMIC detection is involved, QUAL/VEHICLE or QUAL/PEDESTRIAN event codes will be transmitted
34 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 Note: The serial sensor module monitors the incoming battery supply voltage. If the battery voltage is interrupted, the serial sensor module will initiate a series of 3 BATT FAULT transmissions. The transmission of this event cannot be disabled. • Contact: If this control is unchecked, Contact Switch detections will be ignored. If checked, detections will be processed based on the PT-210M operating mode: Qualify Mode off: The CONTACT event code will be transmitted. Qualify Mode on: A qualified detection will transmit the QUAL event code. If a SEISMIC detection is involved, QUAL/VEHICLE or QUAL/PEDESTRIAN event codes will be transmitted • Tamper: If this control is unchecked, cable tamper and motion tamper detections will be ignored. If checked, TAMPER events will be processed. If Voice transmissions are enabled, the TAMPER event code will be transmitted using synthesized voice 3 times, overriding a transmit count of 1 or 2. If Digital transmissions are enabled, the TAMPER event code will be transmitted using the EIDS digital format 3 times, overriding a transmit count of 1 or 2. 4.5.3.4 Seismic Sensitivity The Seismic Sensitivity control is used to adjust the sensitivity of the SEISMIC (Pedestrian/Vehicle) sensor. The sensitivity is adjustable from 1 (least sensitive) to 5 (most sensitive). This setting is only available when Seismic-Veh or Seismic-Ped detections are enabled. Note: A setting of 3 is satisfactory for most installations. Also note that high settings can trigger false detections. Therefore, set the sensitivity only as high as necessary to obtain the required coverage. 4.5.3.5 Left Sensitivity The Left Sensitivity control is used to adjust the sensitivity of the LEFT sensor. The sensitivity is adjustable from 1 (least sensitive) to 5 (most sensitive). Note: A setting of 4 is satisfactory for most installations. High settings can trigger false detections. Set the sensitivity only as high as necessary to obtain the required coverage.
35 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 4.5.3.6 Right Sensitivity The Right Sensitivity control is used to adjust the sensitivity of the RIGHT sensor. The sensitivity is adjustable from 1 (least sensitive) to 5 (most sensitive). Note: A setting of 4 is satisfactory for most installations. High settings can trigger false detections. Set the sensitivity only as high as necessary to obtain the required coverage. When finished, tap OK to return to the configuration screen. Tap Cancel to abort the process. Tapping the Help button initiates the PT-210 Sensor Detection Section help system. From the menu bar the operator also has access to the EIDS Help contents and to the TDS Recon help contents. A Find feature allows the operator to search for a particular item. Note: The menu bar selections at the bottom of the configuration screen are not available in this operation. 4.5.4 Directional Mode The Directional Mode section contains configuration items relating to directional detection mode. Though this field is accessible, the Directional mode must be selected in the Sensor mode field in section 4.5.3.1. Tap the Directional Mode message text or double-tap the Directional Mode contents field to access the adjustment screen. 4.5.4.1 Number of Sensors When using Passive Infrared sensors in Directional Mode, you have the option of using either 1 or 2 physical sensors. Directional mode using a single IF-520 or IF-540 is possible because the passive infrared sensor contains two sensing elements each producing a field of view. However, with one sensor, the angle of the dead zone separating the two fields of view is rather narrow (approximately 3 degrees). To increase deployment flexibility, the use of two sensors is recommended. When using a single sensor in directional mode, select 1. When using two sensors in directional mode, select 2. Note: The selection of one or two sensors applies to Passive Infrared sensors only. Magnetic sensors must be used in pairs.
36 PB-007726 Rev - A 2005.07.04 4.5.4.2 Delays • L-to-R minimum: This is the minimum time period permissible between left and right detections. Detections that occur at a time interval less than the specified minimum time will be ignored. The valid range for this period is 00:00 to 04:59 (minutes and seconds). This delay must be less than the Directional Maximum Delay (See below). A Minimum Delay is useful to detect slow moving objects within a monitored area. • R-to-L minimum: This is the minimum time period permissible between right and left detections. Detections that occur at a time interval less than the specified minimum time will be ignored. The valid range for this period is 00:00 to 04:59 (minutes and seconds). This delay must be less than the Directional Maximum Delay (See below). A Minimum Delay is useful to detect slow moving objects within a monitored area. • Maximum: This is the maximum time period permissible between detections from the left and right sensors. Detections that occur at a time interval greater than the specified maximum time will be ignored. The valid range for this period is 00:00 to 5:00 (minutes and seconds). This delay must be greater than the Left-To-Right Minimum Delay and the Right-To-Left Minimum Delay. A Maximum Delay is useful to detect fast moving objects within a monitored area. When finished, tap OK to return to the configuration screen. Tap Cancel to abort the process. Tapping the Help button initiates the PT-210 Directional Mode Section help system.
