4.2.4 Target Location
Selecting the “Target Location” tab will open the screen as shown in Figure 4.16. This screen is used for
calibrating the cable and viewing activity on the cable. The “red” line displayed on the screen is a default flat
line calibration at 48dB that provides the system a nominal calibration level if calibration has not been
performed. To start the calibration process, select the “Start Calibration” button then the “Clear Calibration”
button. Walk along the cable rattling the fence with a large screwdriver or piece of metal conduit for all cable
associated with that side of the PM II. Figure 4.17 shows “Cable B” being calibrated.
Figure 4.16 – Target Location
Figure 4.17 – Cable Being Calibrated

33 Version H
UIST II Manual
When the calibration is started the red line will be at the top of the screen and the bottom of the screen will say
“Cable B Calibrating”. If there had been a previous calibration in the PM II processor, then the “Clear
Calibration” button should be selected to remove that calibration. Note: calibration must be done at the default
threshold factor of -12dB. If the calibration process needs to be stopped select the “Cancel Calibration” button.
To keep the flat line calibration, start the calibration and then save the calibration. Note: the processor will not
report alarms until the cable is calibrated.
Once the cable(s) has been calibrated from the PM II to the LU II, TU II or CTU II and back to the PM II, select
the “Save Calibration” button to save the calibration profile to the flash memory of the processor. A fully
calibrated cable is shown in Figure 4.18. The blue line represents the calibration profile while the red line is the
alarm threshold with the default -12 dB threshold (sensitivity) setting applied. The calibration, in this example,
starts to drop off at cell 191 which is the length of cable attached to the fence. Since there is no cable to calibrate
beyond this point the threshold stays at a high level. Figure 4.19 shows the threshold with the blue line
calibration cleared by selecting the “Clear Max Hold” button.
Figure 4.18 –Calibrated Cable
The red line on the display is the threshold. It can be increased or decrease as required by using the “Threshold
Factor” as discussed in Section 4.2.1.3. A blue line from the bottom of the display represents a target on the
fence in the form of a “Max Peak Hold” as shown in Figure 4.20. If the blue line crosses threshold and meets the
event count an alarm will be declared and displayed as a “Red Dot” on the bottom of the display in the cell the
alarm occurred. Moving the mouse over the dot, the X and Y coordinate at the bottom of the screen shows the
alarm occurred in cell 35. Moving the mouse to the top of the max peak shows the amplitude to be 68 dB.
To clear any Max Peak Hold signal select the “Clear Max Hold” button as shown in Figure 4.20. A Max Peak
that gets to within 3dB of the threshold will be recorded in the alarm history buffer as a Target.
To clear any alarms displayed on the bottom of the screen select the “Clear Latched Alarms” button as shown in
Figure 4.20.

4.5 Software Setup and Testing

This manual has covered all the parameter settings required for system operation. The next two sections will
cover the software setup steps and testing.
The system should be installed per the MicroPoint™ II Installation and Operation manual. All communications
and power wiring should be correctly connected and the proper address for the PM II set.
4.5.1 Software Setup
The following procedure is a step by step process to setup the PM II processor. Start by connecting to the PM II
as described in Section 3.1.1 or 3.1.2.
1. Select “Restore Factory Defaults” from the Sensor Settings tab (Section 4.1.2.6).
2. Set the “Sensor ID Tag” from the Sensor Settings tab (Section 4.1.2.1).
3. Set the “Sensor Date/Time” from the Sensor Settings tab (Section 4.1.2.3).
4. Set the cable to Enabled or Disabled from the Sensor Settings tab (Section 4.1.2.4).
5. Check the “Clutter” and “Target” values (Sections 4.2.2 and 4.2.3).
6. Adjust the “Analog Channel Gain” (if needed based on Clutter level) from the Configuration Parameters
tab (Section 4.2.1.1).
7. Calibrated the cable(s) (Section 4.2.4) and set disabled cells (4.2.6).
8. Set the “Threshold Factor” to -20 dB from the Configuration Parameters tab (Section 4.2.1.3).
9. Set the “Detection Level” to 2 (Section 4.2.7).
10. Using the Cut Simulator tool, strike the center of each fence panel once for all cable associated to the
PM II being tested.
11. Retrieve the Alarm History File and display with the Event Scatter for Cable A and then Cable B
(Section 4.4).
12. Find the average dB level for all retrieved cut simulations.
13. Return to the IST II Configuration Parameters screen and adjust the Threshold Factor to be 3 dB below
the average level found in step 11.
14. Retrieve Alarm History File and display with the Event Scatter to verify that adjustment is correct.
15. Check/Set External Inputs at the PM II (if used) (Section 4.3)
4.5.2 Testing
After steps 1 through 15 have been completed for each PM II, the system is now ready for functional testing.
The functional testing is based on the user’s requirements. Typically this would be using the Cut Simulator tool
to simulate cutting the fence fabric to generate alarms and having a person climb the fence to generate alarms.
For cut simulation, the number of times to impact the fence is one more than the detection level is set. Example:
if the detection level is set to two (2) then the cut test should be done three (3) times to generate the alarm. Keep
in mind that the cut simulation needs to be done on the same panel.
When performing a climb test, care should be taken to avoid grabbing or stepping directly on the sensor cable.
Usually the posts and the cable are on the protected side of the fence. This means that the climb tests should be
performed on the opposite side of the fence from the sensor cable. The climber should weight at least 77 pounds
(35 kilograms).
53 Version H
UIST II Manual
The climber should grasp the fabric with both hands at shoulder height and begin climbing with one foot and
proceed in an aggressive and continuous motion, simultaneously altering hand above hand and foot above foot
to the maximum allowable height on the fence. If there is Razor Wire on the top of the fence, the climber
should stop short of this wire to avoid personal injury. In the absence of Razor Wire the climber should climb to
the point where the top of the fence is at waist height. After reaching the maximum height the climber should
immediately proceed to climb down to the ground in a continuous motion. The time to complete the climb up
and down should not exceed 0.8 times the height of the fence in feet (2.6 times the height of the fence in
meters). This means that for a typical 12 foot prison fence the simulated climb should not exceed 9.6 seconds
while for a typical 6 foot industrial fence the simulated climb should not exceed 4.8 seconds.
Make any adjustments to the system parameters such as threshold factor, detection window, detection level and
incremental threshold that may be required from the testing results and retest if necessary.
Monitor the system for at least a week for nuisance and false alarm activity. Retrieve the alarm history, evaluate
and make any needed adjustments.
4.6 Reports
Once a PM II has been fully configured and tested, a Configuration Report can be generated that captures all
information and settings of that processor and captures the Clutter, Target, Target Location, Incremental
Threshold, Incremental Enable/Disable, Detection Level and Detection Window screens for each attached cable.
To generate the report, select the “Reports” menu to open the Configuration Report menu as shown in Figure
4.51.

Figure 5.17 – Clutter Location
5.2.4 Target Input
Selecting the “Target Input” tab will open the screen as shown in Figure 5.18. This screen is used to set and
view the Target Input Attenuation. An acceptable range for nominal operation is +/- 256 to +/- 1024 counts with
an average range to obtain of +/- 512 counts. The “Target Input Attenuation” adjustment, which is found in
Section 5.2.1.2, will either double this signal strength if you decrease it’s value by 1, or it will cut the signal
strength in half if you increase it’s value by 1. Using the slide bar or directional arrows, adjust as needed to meet
+/- 512 counts range.
Note that this is an attenuation value. Increasing the attenuation will decrease the signal strength, and vise-versa.
Since the signal can be doubled or cut it in half, it is not always possible to hit +/- 512, so select the closest
setting that meets the range. Typically this is the default setting 3.
The counts are shown on the left side of the screen while the frequency bins are displayed at the bottom of the
screen. A magnifying glass is also available at the bottom left of the screen to zoom in or out by using the slide
bar.

12. Test by walking, running or crawling at 10 foot (3m) intervals along the cable pair length.
13. Retrieve the Alarm History File and display with the Alarm Scatter for Cable A and then Cable B
(Section 5.3).
14. Find the average dB level for all retrieved testing.
15. Return to the IST II Configuration Parameters screen and adjust the Threshold Factor to be 1 dB below
the average level found in step 14.
16. Retrieve Alarm History File and display with the Alarm Scatter to verify that adjustment is correct.
5.4.2 Testing
After steps 1 through 16 have been completed for each MTP II, the system is now ready for functional testing.
The functional testing is based on the user’s requirements. Typically this would be walking, running, jumping
and crawling intrusion attempts to generate alarms. The testing person should weight at least 77 pounds (35
kilograms).
Make any adjustments to the system parameters that may be required from the testing results such as Alarm
Threshold adjustment, Incremental Threshold adjustments, Alarm Masking Time, Alarm Masking Window and
Alarm Hold Time and retest if necessary.
Monitor the system for at least a week for nuisance and false alarm activity. Retrieve the alarm history, evaluate
and make any needed adjustments.
5.5 Reports
Once a MTP II has been fully configured and tested, a Configuration Report can be generated that captures all
information and settings of that processor and captures the Clutter Input, Clutter Location, Target Input, Target
Location, Incremental Threshold and Incremental Enable/Disable screens for each attached cable.
To generate the report, select the “Reports” menu to open the Configuration Report menu as shown in Figure

 Off (no digital signal processing algorithms applied)

 Standard (algorithms applied for optimum reliability for industrial applications)
 Enhanced Vehicle (operates with algorithms applied to detect fast moving targets)
 Enhanced Crawl (operates with algorithms applied to detect slow moving targets such as a prone
crawling intruder)
 Maximum Security (operates with algorithms to enhance slow and fast moving targets)
The algorithm selected should be the one that best meets the detection requirements of the facility where the
sensor is being deployed. As always the sensor should be set up to have the best alignment signal, best algorithm
setting and the lowest gain (sensitivity) setting to meet site requirements and keep a low nuisance alarm rate.
As an example, if no prone crawling intruder detection is required and only detection of an upright walking
intruder is required, the algorithm to select would be “Off” or “Standard”. Also the mounting height of the
sensor should comply with the detection that is trying to be achieved as discussed in the MicroWave 330
manual.

Figure 6.16 – Alignment Started
Proper alignment of the Microwave 330 link will require two people, one at the transmitter location and the
other at the receiver location. The following steps should be performed to properly align the link:
1. With radomes removed, apply power to the Transmitter and Receiver.
2. Be sure the identical modulation frequency, channel A through F, is being used on the Transmitter and
Receiver in Un-Tethered mode or modulation terminals are connected in Tethered mode.
3. Check for transmitter and receiver operation by monitoring the “POWER” LED on transmitter circuit
board and “PULSE” LED on the receiver board. The LED’s must be illuminated.
4. After checking wire connections and step 2 and 3, replace radome on Transmitter using all six screws.
5. Visually aim the Transmitter and Receiver for “bore-sight” alignment. Aim the transmitter and receiver
at each other. Make sure the transmitter and receiver are parallel and perpendicular to the ground plane
that is being secured.
6. Using the IST II software program monitor the alignment signal while performing steps 7, 8 and 9.
Select the “Clear Max Hold” button to clear the maximum voltage level found from any previous
alignment. The Max Peak is the maximum voltage level that that has been found during the current
alignment process and is shown with a value and a red arrow indicator. The “Current Alignment” is the
current alignment voltage that the link is set to and is shown with a value and a red arrow indicator. The
gray graph on the IST II will also track the alignment signal.
95 Version H
UIST II Manual
7. Swivel Transmitter up and down and side to side, to obtain maximum voltage reading on IST II. Tighten
locking nut on mounting bracket to secure sensor in this position.
8. Raise or lower mounting height of receiver and/or transmitter, as required, to obtain maximum voltage
reading on IST II.
9. Swivel Receiver up and down and side to side, to obtain maximum voltage reading on IST II. Tighten
locking nut on mounting bracket to secure sensor in this position. The minimum alignment voltage for
the MicroWave 330 is 0.5VDC. Although this is the minimum voltage, proper alignment and mounting
height will typically be greater. The Max Peak alignment voltage should range between 0.5 and 3.3
VDC depending upon link distance. The further apart the units the smaller the alignment voltage.
10. Once the alignment process has been completed select the “Stop Alignment” button as shown in Figure
16 to return to the alignment screen as shown in Figure 6.17.
11. Replace Receiver radome using all six screws.
Figure 6.17 – Alignment Stopped
The screen will now display the Current Alignment, the Initial Alignment with the Align/Path Alarm LED and
Alarm LED secured (green) as this has now been set by stopping the alignment. The graph now shows the
Align/Path Alarm, Initial Alignment and Alignment Threshold value.
6.3.2 Align/Path Alarm
The Align/Path Alarm is an alarm indication that the initial alignment voltage has changed. Selecting the
“Alignment Threshold” edit button will open a “Slide Bar”, “Cancel”, “Accept” and “Default button as shown in
Figure 6.18. Cancel will end the task and Accept will save the value set using the slide bar (from 0.1 to 2.0
volts). Default sets back the default value of 0.5 volts. Align/Path Alarms can come from vehicles parked
parallel and in close proximity of the detection field, objects inserted into the detection field, etc. which will
change the alignment. In some cases an Intrusion Alarm will also cause an Align/ Path Alarm. The graph can be
“Paused” or “Cleared” using the buttons on the bottom and the graph speed can also be changed by using the
slide bar on the bottom. The centered black line of the graph will rise or fall depending on the alignment status.

The “Gain” (sensitivity) should be adjusted to optimize the sensor performance to meet site detection
requirements and be at the lowest setting possible to minimize nuisance alarms. To find this value the link
should be aligned as discussed is section 6.3.1 and the sensor settings configured as discussed in section 6.2.
6.4.2 Threshold to Noise Ratio
The “Threshold to Noise Ratio” bar and number on the Target screen is a dB value showing the ratio between
the noise and signal to the alarm threshold (2 dB) point as shown in Figure 6.21. The best ratio is when the bar is
“Green”.
The bar will turn “Yellow” when the ratio level is between 13dB and 18dB as shown in Figure 6.22. It will turn
“Red” at 12dB. In an alarm condition the bar will be “Red” and at 2dB as shown in Figure 6.27. The target will
also be in the red area of the graph when in alarm.

The system should be installed per the MicroWave 330 Installation and Operation manual. All communications
and power wiring should be correctly connected and the proper address for the MicroWave 330 set.
102 Version H
UIST II Manual
The following procedure is a step by step process to setup the MicroWave 330. Start by connecting to the
MicroWave 330 as described in Section 3.1.1 or 3.1.2.
1. Select “Restore Factory Defaults” from the Sensor Information tab (Section 6.1.4).
2. Set the “Sensor ID Tag” from the Sensor Information tab (Section 6.1.1).
3. Set the “Sensor Date/Time” from the Sensor Information tab (Section 6.1.2).
4. Set the “Mode” from the Sensor Settings tab (Section 6.2.1).
5. Set the “Channel” from the Sensor Settings tab (Section 6.2.2).
6. Set the “Tether” from the Sensor Settings tab (Section 6.2.3).
7. Set the “Recognition Algorithm” from the Sensor Settings tab (Section 6.2.4).
8. Set the “FSA” from the Sensor Settings tab (Section 6.2.5).
9. Set the “Alarm Hold Time” from the Sensor Settings tab (Section 6.2.6).
6.6.2 Testing
After steps 1 through 9 have been completed for each MicroWave 330 and aligned, the system is now ready for
functional testing. The functional testing is based on the user’s requirements. Typically this would be walking,
running, jumping and crawling intrusion attempts to generate alarms. The testing person should weight at least
77 pounds (35 kilograms).
Make any adjustments to the system parameters that may be required from the testing results such as Gain
adjustment, Recognition Algorithm and mounting height and retest if necessary.
Monitor the system for at least a week for nuisance and false alarm activity. Retrieve the alarm history and save
(if required), evaluate and make any needed adjustments. Erase the history after evaluation.
Low Security Applications:
Typically low security applications only require detection of walking and running targets. To configure
MicroWave 330 for this type of application:
1. Ensure Channel is set in either Un-Tethered or Tethered Mode as discussed in Section 6.2.2.
2. Mounting height of transmitter and receiver should be 36 inches (.91m) or higher.
3. Set Recognition Algorithm to “Off” or “Standard” as discussed in Section 6.2.4.
4. The FSA can be “On” or “Off” as discussed in Section 6.2.5.
5. Align as discussed in Section 6.3.1.
6. Perform walk tests and run tests at 25 foot (7.62m) intervals between the transmitter and receiver while
monitoring the Target screen for alarms. Adjust the Gain and/or mounting height as required for site
detection requirements.
Medium Security Applications:
Typically medium security applications require detection of walking, running and hands and knees crawling
targets. To configure MicroWave 330 for this type of application:
103 Version H
UIST II Manual
1. Insure Channel is set in either Un-Tethered or Tethered Mode as discussed in Section 6.2.2.
2. Set Recognition Algorithm to “Standard” or “Enhanced Crawl” as discussed in Section 6.2.4.
5. Perform walk tests, run tests and hands and knees crawling tests at 20 foot (6.1m) intervals between the
transmitter and receiver while monitoring the Target screen for alarms. Adjust the Gain and/or mounting
height as required for site detection requirements.
High Security Applications:
Typically high security applications require detection of walking, running, jumping and prone (belly) crawling
targets. A 12 inch (30cm) sphere can be used for crawling target simulation. A typical high security zone does
not exceed 328 feet (100m) in distance. Most high security zones will utilize a “Stacked Link” configuration
(refer to MicroWave 330 manual). To configure MicroWave 330 for this type of application:
1. Ensure Channel is set to Tethered Mode as discussed in Section 6.2.2.
2. The nominal starting mounting height for the transmitter and receiver should be 30 inches (762mm).
3. Set Recognition Algorithm to “Maximum Security” as discussed in Section 6.2.4.
5. Set the “Synchronization” to the correct mode if using a stacked MicroWave 330 configuration.
7. Perform walk tests, run tests, jump tests and crawling tests at 10 foot (3m) intervals between the
transmitter and receiver while monitoring the Target screen for alarms.
8. Adjust the Gain and/or mounting height of transmitter or receiver as required for site detection
requirements.
For additional information on high security testing, reference Testing Document 702A.
High Speed Applications:
Typically high speed applications require detection of fast moving targets such as vehicles or aircraft. To
configure MicroWave 330 for this type of application:
1. Insure Channel is set to Tethered Mode as discussed in Section 6.2.2.
2. Set Recognition Algorithm to “Enhanced Vehicle” as discussed in Section 6.2.4.

5. Perform vehicle test at appropriate intervals between the transmitter and receiver while monitoring the
Target screen for alarms. Adjust the Gain and/or mounting height as required for site detection
requirements.

6.7 Reports
Once a MicroWave 330 has been fully configured and tested, a Configuration Report can be generated that
captures all information and settings of the receiver.
To generate the report, select the “Reports” menu from the menu bar to open the Configuration Report menu as
shown in Figure 6.28.
