Specs
Technical specifications.
| Spec | Senstar UltraWave | GSE-DD Dual PIR Direction-Detection Sensor |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor type | Volumetric, fully digital bistatic microwave (paired transmitter and receiver, post- or wall-mounted, cylindrical detection zone) | — |
| Detection range | Walking target 5-200 m; crawling target 5-150 m; commando roll 5-100 m | — |
| Detection rate | Greater than 99% when properly installed | — |
| Operating frequency | 24.075-24.175 GHz band, 10 field-selectable channels, 24 dBm output (FCC); or 24.150-24.250 GHz harmonized band, 10 channels, 20 dBm output (ETSI/CE) | — |
| Signal processing | All-digital DSP discriminates intruder signatures (walking, running, crawling) from environmental effects; Automatic Gain Control compensates for Tx-Rx separation, conditions and weather; PLL-controlled VCO for ultra-stable frequency | — |
| Anti-spoofing | Receiver recognises only its paired transmitter; signal loss and jamming attempts reported; Tx-Rx communication via modulation of the microwave signal gives full transmitter supervision with no data wiring to the transmitter | — |
| Stackable | Yes - multiple Tx/Rx pairs stack on a common post to increase detection zone height; 10 channels allow adjacent/overlapping zones without interference | — |
| Clear zone requirement | Total width 4% of Tx-Rx separation, free of tall grass, vegetation and obstacles | — |
| Operating temperature | -40 to +70 deg C | — |
| Humidity | 0 to 95% non-condensing; conformal coated PCBs | — |
| Ingress rating | IP65 | — |
| Power | Transmitter 1.5 W; receiver with communications card 2.6 W; 12 to 48 VDC; PoE via optional Ethernet card; Tranzorb and gas-discharge protection on all I/O including power | — |
| Unit dimensions / weight | 31 x 16 x 8 cm / 0.9 kg each (Tx and Rx); 3.63 kg shipping weight per pair; high-impact ABS housing, marine white | — |
| Mounting | Pole-mount kit for posts 4.8-11.4 cm diameter included; wall mounting supported; two cable ports with glands, fits 13 mm conduit | — |
| On-board I/O | 4 Form C relay outputs (2 per Tx and Rx), 1.0 A at 30 VDC, assignable (alarm, tamper, power fail, fail-safe), activation programmable 0.125-10 s; auxiliary input on Rx | — |
| Communications | Optional cards: EIA-422 (up to 1.2 km), multi-mode fiber (up to 2.2 km, 820 nm ST), single-mode fiber (up to 10 km, 1310 nm ST), Ethernet 10/100BASE-TX with PoE; Silver Network shared with OmniTrax, FlexZone and XField; Crossfire network backward-compatible with MPS-4100; dual-end polled redundant data paths | — |
| Configuration | Windows-based UCM via USB or network; calculates optimum mounting height from Tx-Rx separation and stacking configuration; remote diagnostics over sensor network | — |
| Integration | Network Manager Service to Senstar StarNet 2 or third-party SMS | — |
| Sensing modality | — | Dual passive infrared (PIR only) |
| Coverage | — | Two separate paths monitored simultaneously, with direction of travel for vehicles or pedestrians |
| Radio | — | Long-range VHF with adjustable RF output power |
| Battery life | — | 1 year |
| Sensitivity | — | Independently configurable per sensor channel |
| External input | — | Configurable connector for optional contact-closure sensor types |
| Enclosure | — | Rugged compact fiberglass-reinforced polycarbonate with continuous poured-foam gasket |
| Security | — | Built-in tamper sensor |
