OmniTrax sensor system details
OmniTrax is a covert perimeter intrusion detection sensor system, that locates intruders with
pinpoint accuracy using ported coaxial cable technology. A set of sensor cables are buried around
the perimeter of a site. The transmit (TX) cable distributes radio-frequency (RF) signals along the
cable path and the Receive (RX) cable picks up the signals and carries them back to the
processor. An electromagnetic detection field forms around the cables, and the processor triggers
an alarm when an intruder disturbs the field.
The OmniTrax sensor can operate as a standalone sensor, which receives 12 VDC local power
and communicates alarm conditions via relay outputs. Optionally, OmniTrax processors can be
part of a Silver Network in which 48 VDC power and alarm data are carried from processor to
processor over the sensor cables. The alarm data can also be carried over EIA-422 copper wire,
or fiber optic cable. The alarm data is sent to a Network Interface Unit, which translates the data
and passes it to a Windows-based Network Manager. The Network Manager interprets the data
and passes it to a security management system (SMS) for presentation to an operator. Silver
Network based OmniTrax processors can collect and report alarm data from other security
devices, such as microwave sensors or fence detection systems via two Aux (auxiliary) inputs.
Network based processors can also use the output relays to activate and control auxiliary security
equipment in response to commands from the host SMS.
A PC-based security management system, such as Senstar’s Alarm Integration Module, StarNeT
1000, or StarNet 2 can serve as the primary operator interface for an OmniTrax system. The
security management system monitors the OmniTrax sensor, and can report alarms to an operator
on a graphical site-map.
Senstar’s Windows-based Universal Configuration Module (UCM) is the calibration and diagnostic
support tool for OmniTrax. The UCM connects directly to the processor via USB or remotely
through the Silver Network Manager. The UCM enables sensor calibration, detection parameter
adjustments and system configuration settings. The UCM also provides real time diagnostics and
sensor plot modes.
