The Next Generation

Outdoor Perimeter Electrostatic Field Sensor

XField - BasicsXField - Basics

• A 4-wire or 8-wire system that creates an electric field between field and sense wires

• High, narrow field pattern– up to 2.44 m (8 ft.) high and 1 m

(3.3 ft.) wide for a 4-wire system• A second 4-wire system can

increase field height to 5.65 m (18.5 ft.)

• Detects intruders that pass through and disturb the field

Electrostatic Field Sensor BasicsElectrostatic Field Sensor Basics

• Parallel Sense & Field wires installed

• Field Generator excites Field wires

• Electric field coupled into Sense wires

• Moving objects in the field change the coupling between Field and Sense wires

• Processor detects a compound signal consisting of:

– Amplitude Change (Mass of intruder)– Rate of Change (Movement of intruder)– Time Disturbance (Time intruder in pattern)– All Conditions are required to generate

an alarm

XField Latest Developments - FirmwareXField Latest Developments - Firmware

• NEW more powerful Digital Signal Processor uses a single FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and high speed ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) technology

– Direct-to-Digital front end– Part of a whole new family of perimeter security products

• NEW full independent monitoring of each Sense Wire– Minimizes environmental effects– Distinguishes between faulty insulators and intruders

• NEW lower Field Voltage and Frequency– Four operating frequencies (8000, 8320, 8640 & 8960) notch filters at

both 50 Hz and 60 Hz to reject power line pickup

• NEW Local and Remote Maintenance using the UCM software

XField Processor – Auxiliary CardsXField Processor – Auxiliary Cards

• Optional auxiliary cards enhance functionality:

• Output card provides 8 Form C relay outputs (rated 1.0 A @ 30 VDC/VAC) in addition to the 4 relay outputs already present on the processor card.

• RS422 Comm card supports two RS422 (4-wire) data lines, where a separate data network is required.

• Fiber Optic Comm card supports two multimode fiber optic data lines, where a separate data network is required.

• Auxiliary Power Supply accepts 18 to 56 VDC and provides 12 VDC, 150mA

• NOTE: For networked data, every sensor processor must have a Comm card (RS422 or Fiber Optic).

• The Comm Card does all data handling and regeneration.

XField Latest Developments – UCM SoftwareXField Latest Developments – UCM Software

• Laptop running UCM software is connected through a USB port directly to the XField Processor

• All parameters are configured through UCM

• Multiple maintenance and diagnostic tools– Reliable line supervision with diagnostic capabilities

• When UCM is installed on the same computer as the Silver Network Manager, the UCM can be used to remotely configure, maintain and monitor any XField processor on the network.

Powering OptionsPowering Options

• 12 VDC

• 48 VDC (18 to 56 VDC)

• 6 VDC backup battery on enclosure cover (standard)

• 6 W maximum with one Auxiliary Card

• - 40oC to + 70oC (- 40oF to + 158oF)

• Optional auxiliary power output module: 18 to 56 VDC input, 12 VDC @ 150 mA output at each processor

Alarm OutputsAlarm Outputs

• Relay outputs are Form C rated at 30 VDC, 1.0 A maximum, non-inductive load

• There are 4 output relays per processor:– 2 Alarm relays (one per zone)– 1 Supervision relay – 1 Fail relay

• Alternatively, the processor can be configured for a Senstar-Stellar Silver data network and control system

– All alarms are reported on a central display– All parameters can be set and adjusted for each processor from the

Network Manager or the UCM connected to the processor– A daughter card (RS422 or fiber optic) is required on all processors– Silver is the new Senstar-Stellar data network protocol
