1. INTRODUCTION
The patented T-DAR®(Tailgate Detection Alarm and Recording) system uses three-dimensional optical
imaging to detect piggybacking and tailgating through mantraps, security vestibules, sally ports, or person
traps. The Newton T-DAR system detects persons, differentiates them from carts or other objects inside
of the mantrap, and then utilizes stereo machine vision technology to identify and tag each human within
the field of view of the tracking (overhead) camera. Once the status of a passage is determined to be
tailgating or piggybacking, the T-DAR system then actuates any number of possible results, all controlled
and pre-selected from an easy to use user interface (UI). These alarms and signals range from flashing
lights and voice annunciation through remote alarm, real-time delivery of video of the event to security,
and activation of internal or existing DVR systems.

3. TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL T-DAR INSTALLATION
To ensure the most accurate detection, it is crucial that the final internal dimensions of a T-DAR-equipped
mantrap adhere to the measurements that an end-user has provided to Newton Security. The design,
performance and price of this system are based upon those specific characteristics.
Mantrap Location
Locate the mantrap as far away from sunlight as possible. Changes in ambient light levels (day-to-night)
in the mantrap may significantly increase false detection and false alarms.
Mantrap Construction
For optimum results the mantrap should be of opaque, solid wall construction.
If a glass wall is used for the installation, Newton Security recommends:
There should be no indirect sunlight in the mantrap. If the potential exists for sunlight in the
environment, do the following test on a bright day when there is full sunlight exposure:
oTurn off all lighting fixtures in the mantrap and in the surrounding area.
oIf you can read this manual or similar text in the resulting available light, there may be
too much sunlight for optimum performance.
oPoint a light meter at the source of the sunlight; it should be less than 10LUX.
Any direct sunlight in the mantrap will cause erratic performance and must be avoided.
For the most consistent performance, use the least amount of glass possible, for the mantrap
walls. Avoid using glass doors in the mantrap, as people standing outside the door (waiting to
use the mantrap) may be detected by the T-DAR cameras.
Avoid using fully glassed walls next to a high traffic area, as people may be detected outside
the mantrap wall.
oWe suggest installing two sections of glass in the wall, running the length of the
mantrap if necessary.
oOne section may be placed higher than five feet above the floor, with the other
section below three feet from the floor.
oThis results in an opaque section, between three and five feet above the floor, and
will prevent the cameras from detecting a person standing on the other side of the
glass.
Mantrap Height
The minimum camera height for proper tracking of the T-DAR cameras is 2600mm (8.5 ft).
Persons taller than 6.3 ft. (1.9m) may receive higher false alarm rates in mantraps with
camera heights lower than 2600mm (8.5 ft).
For ceilings between 2410mm (7.9 ft) and 2600m (8.5ft), camera height extending kits are
available.
For low false alarm rates, mount the camera head at 2750mm (9ft) or higher.
Mantrap Size
The mantrap size is limited by the height and viewing angle of the camera heads. The limits specified
below are rigid and cannot be exceeded. Exceeding the two-head mantrap size limitations will leave a
significant gap in tracking, and security. If the mantrap is built over the specified size, a larger three or
four head T-DAR system should be purchased.
The maximum length of a mantrap with cameras lower than 2740mm (9ft) is 2740mm (9ft).
The maximum width with cameras lower than 2740mm (9ft) is 1450mm (4.75ft).
The maximum length of a mantrap with cameras above 2740mm (9ft) is 3000mm (10ft).
The maximum width of a mantrap with cameras above 2740mm (9 ft) is 1500mm (5ft).

4
Cameras
Ensure that the cameras are securely mounted and not susceptible to any movement such as:
The opening or closing of mantrap doors, and/or
Vibration of the drop-ceiling caused by air pressure changes within the mantrap
Mount and align the DC200LP Stereo Camera Heads in the proper locations:
oFor camera heights below 2740mm (9ft), space the two camera heads no more than
1400mm (4.5ft) apart.
oFor camera heights above 2740mm (9ft), space the two camera heads no more than
1500mm (5ft) apart.
oFor camera heights below 2740mm (9ft), ensure there is no more than 700mm (2.25ft)
from each camera head (camera center) and all adjacent doors and walls.
oFor camera heights above 2740mm (9ft), ensure there is no more than 760mm
(2.50ft) from each camera head (camera center) and all adjacent doors and walls.
Video Cables
For optimum performance, strong video signals are required.
For the coaxial camera cables, it is highly recommended to use compression fittings rather
than crimp-on fittings. For example: Paladin-brand compression fittings are a good
representative.
Ensure that video cables are well separated from any power circuits and cables, solenoid
locks, automatic door hardware, motors, and vibrations.
All T-DAR video cable runs need to be isolated in steel conduit, not shared with other wiring.
Video cable runs should be un-interrupted, with no junction points or splices
Floor Surface
Avoid reflective or patterned floors within a mantrap.
Use a light shade floor. A light shade floor will provide a good contrast between dark clothing
and the floor.
Install carpeted or mat flooring rather than hard/tiled flooring. This will reduce light reflections
from the floor.
Avoid installing carpet with repeating patterns or stripes
When a tiled or wood floor is part of the mantrap, ensure that there are no highly visible,
repeating seams or patterns.
Use a material that will not show excessive dirt or tracks.
Flooring may be of any color, although we recommend using a color that does not show dirt
or tracks.
Hardware & Finishes
Avoid reflective horizontal surfaces as may exist on door hardware and glass frames. Reflective spots
will degrade the T-DAR tracking ability in the area of the reflection.
When selecting door panic hardware inside the mantrap, select hardware with a black or
bronzed finish if possible. Apply a non-reflective coating on the top surface if necessary.
Avoid large horizontal reflective surfaces on frames around glass walls and windows in the
mantrap. Glass with large horizontal metal frames may reflect excessive light toward the
T-DAR cameras.
Apply a dark or non-reflective coating to horizontal, flat metal surfaces that may reflect light
toward the T-DAR cameras.

5
Lighting
Adequate and consistent downward lighting is required for accurate operation. To detect tailgate
violations, the T-DAR requires adequate and consistent downward lighting. Failure to provide
adequate lighting will result in increased false alarm rates, as well as the possibility of missing a
violation.
To provide consistent light levels across the entire mantrap, use at least one fluorescent
panel per T-DAR camera head. Florescent lighting creates a more evenly lit environment and
reduces bright reflections.
If low-frequency fluorescent lighting is used, a line-lock is required.
oIf the lighting in the mantrap consists of low frequency (older, style-line frequency)
fluorescents, use the AC wall-mounted transformer that is included with the T-DAR
control unit to ensure proper operation of the T-DAR system.
oThis transformer, or another low voltage AC source of 6 to 30VAC, will provide the
correct line locking of the T-Dar system to the building lighting.
The use of direct lighting, such as can-style fixtures, or filament-style bulbs is discouraged,
because the directional lighting of these bulbs may create bright reflections.
If the mantrap has a tiled and/or polished floor, take care that the lighting is highly diffuse.
The minimum acceptable amount of lighting for proper operation of the T-DAR system is
300LUX. Illumination must be added if the levels are below this level.
Record downward light, measured at a level approximately 1m (40 inches) above the floor.
When taking measurements hold the light meter away from the body.
The Illuminating Engineer Society of North America (IESNA) bases lighting specifications on
data for Performance of Visual Tasks. High contrast, calls for approximately 300 to 500 LUX
(30 to 50 foot-candles).
If sunlight is a factor, take all light measurements after dark.
Access Reader Placement
Avoid mounting the access reader(s) between camera heads (in the center of the mantrap).
The access reader should be mounted under the camera on the secure end of the mantrap.
Power
T-DAR requires a 24VDC power supply for operation.
An external 24V DC power supply with an output of 10 Amps is required.
A power supply is NOT included with the T-DAR system.

6
Additional Installation Tips and Known Issues
When using electric solenoid locks, place reverse voltage diodes across the solenoid terminals to reduce
voltage feedback to the T-DAR controller. When using external relays, use reverse voltage diodes across
the solenoid of the relay to reduce voltage feedback to the T-DAR controller.
WARNING: When mounting the TDAR on the wall or cabinet, ensure that there is at least six
inches (150mm) between each TDAR or any other physical barrier for proper ventilation. Do not
mount one T-DAR control unit with its heated exhaust directed toward the fan intake of a
neighboring T-DAR control unit.
Light the area under the cameras well. Take care to ensure that lighting conditions do not change over
time. If lighting conditions do change, recalibrate the T-DAR to accept the new lighting conditions.
If the mantrap lighting consists of low frequency fluorescents, use a line lock transformer (provided with
the T-DAR system). Failure to use a line lock transformer with low frequency fluorescent lighting may
result in erratic system performance.
Mantrap Operation
Understanding the basic operation of the T-DAR mantrap will aid in a quicker installation period.
Standard Entry Procedure in a mantrap with manual doors
The secure door remains locked in the initial reset state.
A person first enters through the public door. Depending on the mode of operation, the public
door may be access controlled or left unlocked when the mantrap is not in use. With
bidirectional mode enabled, the T-DAR will not allow entry through the public door, with the
mantrap occupied or while the secure door is open.
The T-DAR scans the environment while the public door is open. If two people enter, the
system will alarm. After any alarm, the occupant(s) must exit.
When the public door closes after entry, a person will access the Secure Door, Public Side
reader, initiating a static scan.
T-DAR scans the environment. If a single person is detected the secure door will unlock.
If there are multiple people detected in the mantrap, the system will alarm and the secure
door will remain locked. The occupants must then exit through the public door.
Standard Egress Procedure in a mantrap with manual doors and bidirectional tracking
The secure door remains locked in the initial reset state.
A person will first access the Secure Door, Secure Side reader to unlock the secure door.
The public door will lock or remain locked if it is access controlled.
After an access grant, the person will enter the mantrap through the secure door. Accessing
the Secure door, Secure side reader with the mantrap occupied will not unlock the door.
The T-DAR scans the environment while the secure door is open. If two people enter, the
system will alarm. After an alarm, the occupant(s) must exit.
Depending on the mode of operation, when the secure door closes after entry, the occupant
may be required to access a reader. The secure side reader will be accessed or the Public
door, Secure side reader if there are two readers in the mantrap.
If an access grant is required, the system will perform a static scan after the access read. If
no access read is required, the system automatically scans.
If a single person is detected the secure door will unlock.
If there are multiple people detected in the mantrap, the system will alarm and the secure
door will remain locked. The occupants must then exit through the secure door.

4. BASIC INSTALLATION
Outputs
There are various outputs on the T-DAR mantrap controller:
A public door lock output
A secure door lock output
Three configurable outputs for various alarm scenarios.
Inputs
The T-DAR controller contains inputs for door closures and access control devices
Override input
Two door contact switches
Two to four valid access signals
The Secure door, Public side reader is located on the public side of the secure door. The Secure door,
Secure side reader is located on the secure side of the secure door. The Public door, Public side reader
(optional) is located on the public side of the public door. The Public door, Secure side reader (optional) is
located on the secure side of the public door.
WARNING: Do not mount the Secure door, Public side reader in the centre of the mantrap. Mount the
reader on the wall directly under a camera head where tracking accuracy is higher.
All inputs terminate across a specific input terminal and ground.
The T-DAR controller does not accept any valid-access signals from the public door.
The T-DAR controller will only lock the public door when the secure door is open or unlocked. In a
normal state, T-DAR does not hold the public door locked. Normal access control through the
public door is optional, but not provided by T-DAR.
A reference voltage for all inputs is generated via a jumper between “input common” and +12VDC.
The system will not operate without a reference jumper for each input.

Component Mounting
Before any installation is begun, make sure that the proposed locations provide adequate room for all
electrical conduits that may be necessary. You may find dimensions for the specific components in the
components section of this manual.
Local Device Placement
Place components such as the camera head and Annunciator unit within a certain
distance of the controller to minimize the effects of voltage drop.
Do not exceed a distance of 61m (200ft), unless using a Cable Extender/Amplifier unit.
Information about costs and part numbers of the Cable Extender/Amplifier is available from
Newton Security.
Allow adequate clearance for installing conduit.
Control Unit Placement
The Control Unit should be located in a place that allows for access to the unit, is clean and affords the
unit protection from damage or vandalism. Whenever possible, install on the secure side, outside of the
mantrap, to reduce the risk of vandalism and attempts to defeat.
WARNING: When mounting the TDAR on the wall or cabinet, ensure that there is at least six
inches between each TDAR unit and other physical barriers, for proper ventilation. Do not mount
one T-DAR control unit in a location where its heated exhaust passes to the intake fan of a
neighboring T-DAR control unit. This will lead to the rapid overheating and failure of the T-DAR
ingesting the exhaust.
Use care when drilling holes in other adjacent fixtures that no metal dust or chips falls onto the T-
DAR controller.
The unit is equipped with mounting tabs that will accommodate ¼-inch mounting hardware.
The unit should be located in an area that provides an isolated 24VDC power at 10Amps.
Mount and ground the unit in accordance with National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines.
The control unit should be located within an acceptable distance to the access control system so
that inter-system communications and signals do not significantly diminish by voltage drop.
Maintain adequate clearance on the sides and top of the unit to facilitate the installation of conduit.
The clearance at the front of the unit should meet the requirements established for electrical
panels by the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Place the Control Unit in a location free from excessive moisture and contaminants, as
environmental conditions can damage the controller.
WARNING: Do not modify the T-DAR control unit, by cutting or drilling, as this will void the
warranty. Cutting or drilling will likely damage the unit by spreading debris to external/internal
connection ports and other internal components. If new or larger conduit holes are required,
contact Newton Security, Inc.

9
Stereo Tracking Head Mounting
Mount the camera heads directly to the ceiling, utilizing the mounting tabs that accommodate up
to a number 12 screw, or use a Newton MK200 ceiling mount kit designed to work in a variety of
applications such as drop tile ceiling or hard ceiling.
Take care to ensure adequate access to the connection ports on the back of the unit. Mount the
stereo tracking heads in the ceiling, aligned with the center mid-line of the mantrap as shown in
the diagram on the following page.
Ensure that there are no low-mounted objects within the mantrap large enough to enable a
person to hide from the view of the cameras.
A two-head T-DAR installation of this type should be in a space no larger than 1500mm x
3000mm (5ft by 10ft).
Annunciator Unit Placement
The Annunciator should be mounted within 61m (200ft) of the control unit. Locate the Annunciator unit
within the mantrap to announce violations to the occupant as well as persons in the secure area. The
Annunciator unit is fitted with conduit knockouts on the sides of the unit. Maintain adequate clearance on
the sides of the unit to facilitate conduit installation. Additionally, adequate clearance is required on the
front of the unit to allow for adjustment of the volume control.
Stereo Camera Heads
Place the cameras in accordance with the diagram shown below. Locate camera head one (1A & 1B) on
the secure end of the mantrap. Position the cameras in line with one another and perpendicular to the
doors. If the doors are not located at the ends of the mantrap (as shown below), consult Newton Security
for assistance on placement of the heads. Center each camera between the left and right walls of the
mantrap. Align each camera parallel to the left and right wall (shown below). Space the cameras as in the
diagram below, making the distance between the two cameras (camera center’s) equal to half the length
of the mantrap.
Note: if the ceiling is less than 2600mm (8.5ft), consult Newton Security technical support before
proceeding.

Cabling
Camera
For each camera head run two video coaxial cables (75 Ohm) with BNC connectors.
For each camera head, run a single CAT-5 (Ethernet) cable.
Label the cables so that cameras 1a, 1b are easily distinguishable.
Label the cables so that cameras 2a, 2b are easily distinguishable.
Annunciator Connection
Connect the Annunciator to the T-DAR control unit using a CAT-5 cable. Plug the RJ45 into the
“Annunc1” port of the T-DAR controller. Do not use “Annunc2” port.
Camera Terminations
Camera Head
On each Camera Head, install and terminate two video coaxial cables (75 Ohm) with BNC
connectors.
On the face of each camera head, the labels “Camera 1” and “Camera 2” correspond to camera
connections “a” and “b” respectively.
Control Unit
For camera head one (1), mounted near the secure door, attach the CAT5 connector to the “Cam
1” port on the T-DAR upper panel.
For camera head two (2), mounted near the public door; attach the CAT5 connector to the “Cam
2” port on the upper panel.
T-DAR Input and Output Terminations
On the control unit, install and terminate an adequate number of wires to support the inputs and outputs.
One pair of wires for each access reader/button. If your mantrap setup has four access
readers/buttons, then eight wires must be terminated at the T-DAR unit for readers.
One pair of wires for each door contact. You must terminate four wires at the T-DAR control unit
for door contacts.
Terminate one pair of wires for the override signal. The override input is used to allow multiple
people through the mantrap.
Terminate one pair of wires for each T-DAR alarm output. There is an alarm output for Forced
Door and another alarm output for when two people enter mantrap.
Terminate one pair of wires for each door lock output. Relay one will control the secure door lock
and relay two will control the public door lock.
If status outputs are used, terminate two wires for each of these. Optional status outputs are
“mantrap occupancy”, “one person occupancy”, “multiple person occupancy”, and “mantrap in-
use”.
If there is a door encoder on the public or secure door, terminate eight wires from a CAT5 cable
at the T-DAR unit.

5. Modes of Operation
Bidirectional Tailgate Detection
A mantrap with bidirectional tailgate detection will stop tailgating on egress, as well as entry. A
bidirectional mantrap will utilize the same access control hardware as a mantrap with single direction
detection, including door locks, door contacts, and access readers. A mantrap with only single direction
tailgate detection will allow egress of multiple people at one time.
Depending on the installation, there are three optional methods of egress in a bidirectional mantrap. In
the first method, there is only one reader inside the mantrap. In this setup, a valid access grant on the
inside reader will initiate a scan and allow passage through the public door. In the second method, there
are two readers inside the mantrap. In this setup, a valid access grant on the Public door/Secure side
reader (inside the mantrap) will initiate a scan and allow passage through the public door. A third option
for egress does not use an internal access grant, but scans the mantrap automatically on egress.
A mantrap employing bidirectional detection may utilize the same access control hardware as a mantrap
with single direction tailgate detection, including door locks, door contacts, and access readers. In other
words, you may switch from unidirectional to bidirectional mode without changing hardware or wiring.
When no access grant is required inside the mantrap during egress, the system will scan automatically as
soon as the secure door closes. The override functionality is the same in the entry direction as in the
egress direction.
Automatic Door Control
The T-DAR can provide outputs for automatic door control. There is a dry contact relay output for the
public side door and another for the secure side door. Each relay is customizable, providing a rising edge
or closing edge to open the doors. When signaling the doors to open, the relay outputs will be momentary,
resetting immediately or after the door opens.
With automatic door control enabled, the T-DAR will require two access devices on the secure door. An
access reader will be located on both sides of the secure door. The T-DAR will open the secure door after
receiving a signal from either of these two access control devices (provided there is a proper headcount
in the mantrap). The secure door should open after receiving a pulse from the T-DAR unit.
An access reader is required on both sides of the public door. The access reader on the public side will
provide access to the door. An access device such as a button is required on the inside of the mantrap.
This device will allow a person locked inside with no valid access credentials to exit the mantrap. If the
person without valid access credentials entered through the public door, then using the button will open
the public door. If the person without valid access credentials entered through the secure door, then using
the button will open the secure door.

12
Number of Access Control Devices
The mantrap may contain two or four access control devices, depending on the desired mode of
operation. In this manual, the reader positions will be designated as Secure door/Secure side, Secure
door/Public side, Public door/Secure side, and Public door/Public side. The Public door/Secure side
access device is commonly a button.
Option 1 –Two access control devices
Utilizing only two access control readers, the public door will not be access controlled by T-DAR (an
alternate system may provide access control for the public door). In this setup there will be an access
control reader on both sides of the secure door. With the proper headcount detected, T-DAR opens the
secure door after receiving a signal from either device. The access control reader on the outside of the
mantrap (secure door) will only allow access to the mantrap when the public door is closed and the
mantrap is empty.
Option 2 –Three access control devices
Utilizing three access control devices on the mantrap, there will be only one access reader inside the
mantrap. Depending on the direction of travel, the access reader inside the mantrap will send signals to
the T-DAR controller for opening the public or secure doors. An access device such as a button is
required on the inside of the mantrap. This device will allow a person locked inside without valid access
credentials to exit the mantrap. The two access control devices on the outside of the mantrap (each door)
will allow access to the mantrap.
With one person in the mantrap during entry, the internal reader will unlock the secure door. With one
person in the mantrap during egress, the internal reader will unlock the public door. The T-DAR may be
configured to allow egress without a read on the internal reader.
Option 3 –Four access control devices
Utilizing four access control devices on the mantrap, there will be two access readers on each door. Two
internal access control devices are used, one for entry and the other for egress. The access control
device on the inside of the public door can be a button. The access control devices on the outside of the
mantrap (each door) will allow access to the mantrap when the doors are closed and the mantrap is
empty.
The Public door/Secure side access device will only allow passage through the public door if there is one
person in the mantrap or the system is set as unidirectional (no detection on egress). With one person
detected in the mantrap during entry, the Secure door/Public reader will allow passage through the
secure door.

6. INTEGRATION WITH THE ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM
Relay Output Connections
The T-DAR T-2010 control unit is equipped with four relays on the General 1 connector, plus one relay on
each of the portal connectors. Use these relays to signal various alarm conditions based on user
configurable options in the user interface. Relay outputs have no polarity and are dry, providing no
voltage. Various degrees of customization are possible through coordination with Newton Security. The
output relays are single pole/single throw, and normally open.
Typical Configuration
Notes:
There is no option for setting the relay output states on relays three through six. These relays
are normally open.
The door lock relays can be configured as normally open or normally closed
All input grounds are common to one another
A jumper between +12VDC and Common will generate a reference voltage for all inputs

Access Readers
Door Lock Control
Two relays on the T-DAR unit control locking of the mantrap doors. These relays can be set normally
open or normally closed. The T-DAR locking relays terminate at 1a/1b and 2a/2b on the “A” Phoenix
connector.
Note: If power to the T-DAR unit is lost, all T-DAR relays will open, potentially unlocking the
doors (this is dependent on the door lock integration).

Protect T-DAR from Door Lock Feedback
Use external relays to isolate the T-DAR from door locking voltage feedback. Use diodes across the
solenoid terminals of the external relays to reduce voltage feedback to the T-DAR (shown below). Power
for the T-DAR controller should be isolated from door locks or any motorized door hardware. The T-DAR
controller requires 24VDC at 8amps.
WARNING: Failure to use external relays with the Chexit, or similar solenoid locks, can damage
the T-DAR control box.
Note: there is no polarity on the T-DAR output relays.
Annunciator Unit
Place the Annunciator inside the mantrap to notify the occupant(s) of a violation.
Adjust the volume on the Annunciator so that the instructions may be clearly heard. The volume
knob is located on the top of the unit, under the black plastic plug.
Install and terminate one Ethernet cable (straight through) on the Annunciator, leading directly to
the ‘Annunc 1’ connector on the T-DAR control unit.
T-DAR mantraps use one Annunciator, so the ‘Annunc 2’ port is not used.
If the Annunciator is not activating, or is not playing the proper recordings, use the test buttons on
the “Advanced” tab to test the functionality.
If the strobe and/or voices do not play using the test buttons, check the CAT5 cable using a
network cable tester, (unplug the cable from the T-DAR before testing).
The Annunciator unit should be installed less than 61m (200ft) from the control unit.
WARNING: plugging in a camera head (CAT5 cable) into an Annunciator port or using a
crossover cable to connect a camera, may damage the control unit or camera head.
