3 Setup and calibration
Setup
UltraWave setup and calibration is done using Senstar’s Universal Configuration Module (UCM).
The UCM is a Windows-based software application that performs the calibration, setup,
maintenance and diagnostic functions for Senstar’s line of intrusion detection sensors. The UCM
connects directly to the UltraWave unit via USB. Network based UltraWave receivers can also
connect remotely via the Silver Network Manager.
Senstar recommends that the initial calibration be done at the UltraWave unit using a direct USB
connection to the UCM.
The UltraWave receiver setup requires the following configuration settings:
• specify the Locale - FCC for North American applications, ETSI for European applications
(transmitter and receiver settings must match)
• specify the Frequency Pair (transmitter and receiver settings must match)
• enter the Transmitter Serial Number
• set the detection Thresholds (use the UCM Height Calculator tool to determine the optimum
detection Thresholds)
The UltraWave transmitter setup requires the following configuration settings:
• specify the Locale - FCC for North American applications, ETSI for European applications
(transmitter and receiver settings must match)
• specify the Frequency Pair (transmitter and receiver settings must match)
Once the UltraWave transmitter and receiver are properly installed and configured, you can
calibrate the receiver unit. On the receiver’s UCM Status tab, select the recalibrate button and the
UltraWave receiver will auto-calibrate to provide the best possible received signal strength (see
Receiver calibration
on page 38).
Note UltraWave setup and calibration should be performed by a qualified
technician.
