MSK-101
Description
MSK-101 is an advanced motion sensor for high
security intrusion detection systems.
Thanks to a proprietary motion detection motor
based on FMCW radar, it can detect intruders while
minimizing false alarms triggered by small animals,
moving objects or environmental conditions. It
signals the presence of intruders through activation
of the dedicated relay outputs and LED on the front of
the sensor.
Thanks to IP66 and IP68 protection grade, it is
suitable for indoor and outdoor installations.
Special features
The sensor calculates the distance and estimates
dimensions of the moving object in real time,
permitting advanced configuration possibilities in
respect to traditional motion sensors. In particular, it
is possible to:
lset a pre-alarm area at the margins of the
monitored area for activation of deterrent actions
(e.g.: turning on the lights)
lfine set the tolerance level for animals
lexclude any moving objects that would generate
continuous false alarms from the monitored area

Relay outputs
Functions of relay outputs
The sensor has four relay outputs pre-configured to
signal the following statuses:
lalarm: relay 1
lpre-alarm: relay 2
ltampering by moving or extracting the sensor:
relay 3
lfault: relay 4
lmasking: relay 1 + relay 4
Note: through the application it is possible to
configure relay 4 to also signal sensor tampering.
With this configuration the sensor no longer
complies with standard EN 50131.
Status of relay outputs
The default status of the relays is closed, which
signals the presence of faulty functioning when the
sensor is not supplied with power. The normal status
of the relays can be changed (Inxpect Security >
>General).
The status of the relays is indicated in the homepage
of the application to facilitate on-site inspections
during the installation phase.

Barrier configuration
Adapter for barrier assembly
Barrier installation for protection of a wall or window
requires the sensor to be installed at approximately
15 cm (5.9 in) from the same wall. If other adequate
supports are not available, an adapter is necessary
for assembling the barrier (product code: MSK-101-
BM.
Figure 8- Example of installation without adapter.
Figure 9- Example of installation with MSK-101-BM adapter.
Sensor direction
The MSK-101-BM adapter, according to the
installation method, allows directing the sensor to the
left or the right.
Figure 10- Sensor directed towards the left.
Figure 11- Sensor directed towards the right.
Field of vision
Range of the field with horizontal
sensor direction (volumetric)
In this installation the visual field of the sensor is
approximately 90° along the horizontal plane and 30°
on the vertical plane. It extends for a maximum of 20
m, following the radiation pattern of the antenna.
Figure 12- Top view.

Calculation of the field of vision
The actual field of vision of the sensor depends on:
lsensor installation height
lsensor direction (horizontal or vertical)
lsensor inclination
Based on a specific installation height, there are
direction and inclination combinations that guarantee
optimum performance. The following table reports
some examples to better explain the effects of height
and inclination.
Sensor installation height
The sensor can be installed at any distance from the
plane to be monitored, from 0.5 and 3 m (from 1.6 to
10 ft). For example, it can be installed at 2 m from the
floor or 0.5 m from the jamb of the window frame.
When installing the sensor, consider the risk of a
blind spot: if the sensor is too high, it must be tilted
downwards to reduce the undetected area. However,
this also reduces the maximum detected distance. If
the sensor is too low, the blind spot is minimal, but it
increases the risk of masking caused by accidental
passage of people.

NOTICE: the detection start and end values do
not guarantee detection of a standing person.
The reported values may slightly vary based on
the installation conditions.
Note: only some heights are reported, but every
intermediate value is allowed and guarantees
optimum performance.

Alarm and pre-alarm areas
Within the sensor field of vision, the alarm and
possible pre-alarm areas define the area that is
actually monitored by the sensor. If a pre-alarm area
is not defined, the alarm area corresponds to the
entire monitored area.
Useful information for design

Motion in the alarm area triggers an alarm and
excitation on relay 1, motion in the pre-alarm area
triggers a pre-alarm and excitation on relay 2.
Note: not all motions occurring in the pre-alarm or
alarm area are signaled. It depends on the level of
tolerance set for animals and possible semi-static
objects.
For outdoor installations, the pre-alarm area is
especially useful for implemented security
operations (e.g.: turning on the lights, activating a
surveillance video camera) in the presence of motion
in the marginal areas of the monitored area.
The configuration of the pre-alarm area in barrier
installations is usually not very useful, except for
protection in hallways, where the pre-alarm area
could be useful for detecting the presence of an
intruder in the area that is farthest from the sensor.
Interferences
Introduction
The MSK-101 sensor is different from other
traditional motion sensors. It is important to know
what factors interfere in its correct functioning, to
properly install, configure it, and to obtain optimum
performance.
Warnings relative to precipitation
lUnusually intense rain (heavy storms with
intensities exceeding 20 mm/h (0.80 in/h)) can
reduce the field of vision by up to 50%.
lHail may cause false alarms.
lIf exposed to precipitation, install the sensor
parallel to the usual direction of the precipitation.
Precautions
lThe sensor has been designed for installations on
the wall or ceiling: do not install it on moving or
vibrating objects, like poles or fences.
lHiding the sensor behind objects may impact the
sensor performance, even significantly: in these
cases checking correct functioning is completely
the responsibility of the installer.
lDo not install it in the presence of large reflective
objects (e.g.: metallic objects) that could influence
correct detection.
lIn the presence of fluorescent tubes, tilt down the
sensor by 15°/30°, or install it at a minimum
distance of 20 m from the tube.
lIn the presence of other MSK-101 sensors,
maintain the minimum indicated distances, see
"How to install several sensors" on the next page.
lIn the presence of other MSK-101 sensors, assign
each sensor to a different channel, see "How to
configure several sensors" on the next page.
lThe sensors that use the same frequency (e.g.
Blind Spot Detection devices on automobiles,
with radar at 24 GHz) interfere with proper
functioning and may cause false alarms. Do not
point the sensor directly towards a parking area.
lThe sensor can detect motion beyond glass,
walls, and thin floors, for example in drywall. Via
the Inxpect Security application, limit the
monitored area to only the specific area of
interest, and perform tests to prevent false
alarms.
lIn the presence of neon tubes, respect the
minimum sensor inclination indicated so that the
tube does not interfere with the sensor:
Sensor direction Minimum inclination (α)*
Horizontal - 15°
Vertical - 30°
Note *: see "Examples of the field of vision with
horizontal sensor direction (volumetric)" on the
previous page and "Examples of the field of
vision with vertical sensor direction (barrier)" on
the previous page.

Factors that do NOT interfere
A list of factors that in contrast to traditional motion
sensors do NOT interfere with the normal functioning
of the sensor is presented as follows:
ldirect exposure to the sun or windows that face
the exterior
lrapid temperature fluctuations
lsmoke, dust, or strong air currents (e.g.: air
conditioners, fans)
lwater sprays, vaporized water or mist
lelectrical fields (e.g.: electrical motors, high
voltage devices)
lmoving objects (e.g.: fans, pulleys, conveyor
belts, trees and shrubs). See "Manage semi-static
objects" on page23.
lsmall animals or pets. See "Set the tolerance level
for animals" on page23.
How to install several sensors
Three possible combinations of sensor installation
and the minimum distances to maintain between the
sensors with the sensors aligned are presented as
follows. Respecting these distances guarantees the
performance levels indicated in section "Field of
vision" on page11.
NOTICE: other combinations are possible, but
their performance must be validated in the field.
Figure 16- Front-front combination
Figure 17- Front-back combination
Figure 18- Back-back combination
Note: the blind spot created in this combination is
very wide. If possible, use the back-front
configuration.
How to configure several sensors
To reduce interference between the sensors present
in the same area, assign a different channel to each
one. Up to three channels are available (channel A,
B, C).
An example of an installation with nine sensors and
relative channel assignments is presented as
follows.
