OmniTrax sensor system details
OmniTrax Product Guide Page 15
• an additional cable margin can be defined for each cable segment to increase or decrease the
detection sensitivity within the segment
• processor synchronization is used to prevent mutual interference between nearby processors
OmniTrax calibration parameters:
• sensitivity profile - the recorded signal response magnitude for each meter of cable based on
the calibration walk
• cable margin - the nominal number of dB that the alarm threshold is below the recorded
sensitivity profile for a sensor cable
• segment margin - an additional cable margin can be set for each defined cable segment
• detection threshold - the cable sensitivity profile minus the cable margin and segment margin
• target speed settings (low speed) - the time constant associated with low speed targets is set
on a per cable basis
• target speed settings (high speed) - the time constant associated with high speed targets is set
on a per cable basis
Universal Configuration Module (UCM) features
The UCM is a Windows based software application, which serves as the configuration,
maintenance and support tool for the OmniTrax processor. The UCM connects directly to the
processor via USB cable, or remotely through the Silver Network Manager. When connected, the
UCM recognizes the OmniTrax processor and displays OmniTrax specific configuration screens.
System integrators use the UCM to calibrate and setup the OmniTrax system. The UCM defines
cable segments, alarm zones, cable margins, input/output configuration and control parameters.
Security management systems
Standalone OmniTrax sensors can be incorporated into any system, which accepts contact
closure alarm data. However, contact closure alarm notification does not provide precise target
location. Silver Network based OmniTrax systems are compatible with Senstar’s Security
Management Systems including StarNeT 1000, StarNet 2 and the Alarm Integration Module.
Network based processors can communicate with third party security management systems
through the Network Manager Interface (NMI). The OmniTrax security perimeter can be displayed
on a graphic site map as a series of alarm zones (e.g., when a sensor alarm occurs, the zone line
flashes, an alarm star flashes to identify the alarm’s exact location, and an audible alarm sounds).
An operator acknowledges the alarm, assesses the cause of the alarm, then either alerts security
and resets the alarm (intruder), or accesses the zone (authorized personnel).
Benefit summary
Advantages of the OmniTrax sensor system include:
• calibrated sensitivity profile, automated transmitter power level and individual cable margin for
each meter of sensor cable provide uniform detection sensitivity for the full cable length,
enhanced sensor performance with an increased Pd and decreased NAR/FAR
• software defined cable segments and alarm zones enable the redistribution of alarm zones,
zone lengths, and cable margin settings to accommodate changes in security equipment and
requirements
• precise display of an alarm’s location to within 1 m (3.3 ft.)
• 1.0 second or less alarm response time per network loop (from target crossing cables to
Network Manager receiving notification)
• user-configurable alarm zone display (typically, as colored lines on a scale site map; alarm
zones can also remain invisible until an alarm occurs)
