1.0 Introduction This manual describes the operation and usage of the PT-210M Processor/Transmitter. The PT210M 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.
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.
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.
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.
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-toground is closed for the user-selected time period – 0 to 1.5 seconds in 50 millisecond increments.
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. Insert the EIDS Product Programming CD into the CD-ROM drive. 2. The CD should begin automatically, which will begin the setup/installation process.
3.2 Using the Software Menu Bar Speed Bar Programming Parameters Status Bar Selected Com Port The software is navigated via four distinct sections: • Menu Bar • Speed Bar • Programming Parameters • Status Bar 3.3 Menu Bar The “File” selection located on the Menu Bar provides access to familiar functions such as Load, Save, Print, and Exit. Under “Options”, the communication port and reminder preferences may be selected. The “Tools” menu provides access to inhibit times and other seldom used features.
3.3.1 File Selection 3.3.1.1 Load Select Load from the File list to retrieve previously saved parameters (adjustments). This function displays saved setup files available for retrieval. Clicking load opens a browser window to locate and retrieve the saved configuration file (xxxxx.ini). 3.3.1.2 Save Use this menu command when you want to save the current parameters to a PT210M configuration file.
3.3.1.5 Exit Select Exit to close the program. A prompt may appear requesting to save the current configuration file before closing. The save prompt may be disabled under the Option list / Reminders. 3.3.2 Options Selection 3.3.2.1 Reminders Use this menu command to open the Reminders Setup dialog. New users may find the reminders helpful in pointing out subtle program features or situations that should be avoided. Experienced users may wish to turn off one or more of the reminders.
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.
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. Used for factory diagnostics only. 3.3.4 Help Selection 3.3.4.1 Contents Displays the contents of help files with links to the specific subject matter. 3.
3.4 Speed Bar The Speed Bar provides quick access to commonly executed functions. 3.4.1 Read The Read function establishes communication with the PT-210M and uploads the current programmed parameters stored in the PT-210M and displays them on-screen. To perform a Read, connect the separate computer interface Smart Cable (part# WI001615-003) and a power source to the PT-210M connector. Click Read to import and display the current PT-210M programmed settings.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Available PT-210M frequencies are selected by clicking on the drop-down list control and left clicking the desired frequency. The PT-210M unit cannot transmit on any other frequency other than the specific ones shown. Note: If both digital and voice transmissions are desired, the user may elect to transmit on the same or different frequencies. 3.5.6.4 Voice Transmit Count The Voice Transmit Count establishes the number of times a message will be transmitted using the synthesized voice format.
3.5.6.7 Camera Trigger Pulse Width Prior to transmitting a sensor event, the PT-210M can activate a camera trigger output. The camera trigger output produces a momentary connection to ground, often used to trigger an externally connected device (i.e. relay, still camera, or video camera.) The camera trigger pulse width is adjustable from 0 to 1.5 seconds in 50 millisecond increments. Note: The camera trigger is NOT activated when transmitting a Status 1 or Status 2 event. 3.5.7 Status Check in 3.5.7.
3.5.7.4 Status 2 Time This is the time of day at which a Status 2 transmission will occur and is programmable from 00:01 to 23:59 (hours and minutes). Note: The Status 2 Time cannot be the same as the On Duty Time, Off Duty Time, or Status 1 Time. 3.6 Status Bar The Status Bar displayed at the bottom of the screen provides confirmation and software status information. The lower left corner is blank until a read is performed.
4.2 Using the Software Once the PT-210 program is launched, a configuration screen will appear on the display. The configuration screen provides quick access to configuration components and also allows the operator to review configuration settings prior to programming operations. The configuration screen contains three distinct sections: • • • Input Selector Menu Bar Programming Parameters 4.3 Input Selector In the lower right-hand corner of the configuration screen is an up-arrow icon.
4.4.1 File Selection 4.4.1.1 New Selecting New from the File list will return the operator to the EIDS Product Programmer product model screen. This allows a new product model to be selected and configured. 4.4.1.2 Open The Open command allows the operator to access and open a saved Telonics Parameter File and import it into the program for use. File details such as name, location, and last modified are displayed. 4.4.1.
4.4.2 View 4.4.2.1 Show Values This menu item allows the operator to view all of the configuration data at once. The settings of each configuration item are displayed on the screen for reviewing and referencing during the course of the configuration process. 4.4.2.2 Hide Values This menu item hides the configuration data and only displays the individual configuration headings. This allows for speedy access to specific items during the configuration process.
4.4.3.3 Read Parameters Use this menu command to establish communications with the PT-210M and upload programmed configuration data into the PDA-4000. To perform a Read, connect the separate computer interface Smart Cable (part# WI001615-003) and a power source to the PT-210M connector. Click Read to import and display the current PT-210M programmed settings.After “reading” the unit, the configuration data is displayed on the configuration screen for review and modification if necessary.
4.4.4.2 About This menu command displays a dialog containing program version and copyright information. Contained also, is a listing of the installed authorization codes. If there are no authorization codes installed, then the PT-210M configuration software is operating in evaluation mode. This mode will persist for 30 days or until a valid authorization code is installed. To install an authorization code, tap the Add… button. This will produce a dialog box prompting the operator to enter a code.
Note: The menu bar selections at the bottom of the configuration screen are not available in this operation. 4.5.2 Units The units section provides the operator with information about the different devices which have been communicated with by the PDA-4000 programmer within a particular product model during a particular configuration session. The serial number of the device, the installed operating system (Firmware) and any factory parameters are listed in the order in which they were accessed.
• 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.
• Seismic-Ped: If this control is unchecked, Seismic/Pedestrian detections will be ignored. If checked, detections will be processed based on the PT210M 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.
• 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.
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.
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.
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.
4.5.5.1 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. 4.5.5.2 Digital Frequency (MHz) The Digital Frequency is used for transmitting messages in the EIDS digital message format. The PT-210M frequency range is set at the factory and is displayed following a read of the unit.
4.5.5.5 Transmit voice The Transmit voice field establishes the number of times a message will be transmitted using the synthesized voice format. The count is selectable from disable to 3 times. If the Voice Transmit Count is disabled, the PT-210M will not transmit a voice message. Note: If the Voice Transmit Count is other than disabled, and a Tamper detection occurs, the Tamper event will be transmitted 3 times. 4.5.5.
4.5.6 Schedule The schedule section contains configuration items relating to the schedule of operation of the PT-210M . Tap the Schedule message text or double-tap the Schedule contents field to access the adjustment screen. 4.5.6.1 Send status at the following times The PT-210M provides the ability to send up to 2 status transmissions per day. Status transmissions are sent to indicate to the recipient that the PT-210M is operational and that the transmission is properly generated and received.
• The On time is used only in this section. This is the time of day the PT210M will begin processing sensor detections and is programmable from 00:01 to 23:59 (hours and minutes). Enter the desired On time using the up and down arrows located next to the field box. Note: The On Time cannot be the same as the Off Time, Status 1 Time, or Status 2 time. • The Off time is used only in this section.
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. When finished, tap OK to return to the configuration screen. Tap Cancel to abort the process. Tapping the Help button initiates the Inhibit Section help system.
