1Overview Sennet components
What is Sennet
Sennet
®
is Senstar-Stellar Corporation’s alarm communications network designed
specifically for security monitoring applications. Each Sennet network consists of
a network controller, and a combination of hardware components, (large
transponder units (LTU), transponder units (TU), remote display and control
panels (RDCP), Perimitrax
®
buried line sensor Sensor Modules, Intelli-FLEX™
fence sensor multiplex processors and repeaters), as required by the site.

GXQdYcCU^^Ud
!"CU^^Ud`b_TeSdWeYTU
The network provides fast, reliable and secure communications between your
security devices and a host alarm annunciator, such as Senstar-Stellar’s
Senstar
®
100 alarm annunciation system. The alarm annunciator allows you to
configure each network device individually to process specific maintenance,
setup and alarm information. The annunciator can also be configured to receive
information from intrusion sensors and other security devices, as well as send
messages to security devices; for example, to trigger a siren or unlock a door.
The intrusion sensors and security devices can be hundreds of metres or even
many kilometres from your annunciator. A network repeater circuit card is used
to expand the maximum distance of the network to enable this possibility. This is
especially useful when applied to outdoor security systems.
Each device in a Sennet network runs on its own power supply. Where possible,
provisions have been made for an optional backup battery. Where this is not
possible, an external AC UPS is recommended.

Sennet is designed for simple installation and maintenance. Twisted-pair wiring or
multi-mode fiber optic cabling connects all devices with the network controller,
eliminating the need for complex wiring. Installation and replacing parts is fast
and easy with snap-in circuit boards, removable terminal blocks, and a minimum
number of circuit board switches. Battery charging circuitry is built in - adding
UPS capability is simply a matter of connecting a battery. Sennet provides built-in
diagnostics for help in troubleshooting and maintenance.
5h`Q^TQR\U
Sennet is flexible. Networks can be as small as one network controller and one
network transponder, located up to 1.2 km (¾ mile) apart. Transponders and
repeaters extend network length to 13 km (8 miles) and increase its capacity to
992 input points and 496 output points. A total network capacity of 3392 inputs,
2976 outputs can be achieved by connecting combinations of Sennet-compatible
devices - TUs, LTUs, RDCPs, etc. Multiple transponder networks can be used with
one annunciator.
Sennet’s data protocol was designed specifically to meet future security
requirements. In addition to the twisted-pair format, it supports communication
via optical fiber and coaxial cable (Perimitrax Sensor Module only). Built-in
redundancy and error handling are designed to adapt to the transmission
medium.
The Sennet network is being developed to support more devices in the future.

Network controller
The Sennet system must include a network controller in order to relay
information to and from the network.
The network controller acts as the traffic director for the network. It manages all
information which passes between the host annunciator and the network. One
annunciator may support several networks; contact your supplier for information.
Options for annunciation systems include the Senstar-Stellar Senstar
®100, the
Senstar-Stellar Perimitrax
®Central Controller, the Senstar-Stellar Intelli-FLEX™
Central Controller or a user supplied annunciator.
The network controller connects to the host annunciator(s) through the RS-232/
RS-422 serial port interface(s), and connects to the transponders through
redundant RS-485 copper wire, fiber optic or coaxial cable data paths. The coaxial
cable is compatible only with the Perimitrax Sensor Module.
The network controller monitors the devices, checks network integrity, and relays
alarm and diagnostic information to the host.
The network controller accepts 12 VDC, 16 VAC or 110-120/220-240 VAC power
input. The AC operation provides a charger to support local UPS operation with
an optional battery. The power supply and network controller are mounted on a
Sennet mounting plate which can then be mounted either in a secured area or in
an enclosure.

Transponder unit
The transponder unit collects and translates data from distributed sources (e.g.,
fence-mounted sensors, infrared motion detectors, door and window contacts,
microwave sensors). Each transponder provides optional relay outputs that can
activate local devices (e.g., mimic panels, gate or door controls, sirens, lights).
Two types of transponder units are available for the Sennet network - the standard
transponder unit and the large transponder unit. The standard transponder unit
is best suited to collecting and distributing small clusters of security alarm points
that are not centrally located. The large transponder unit is more appropriate for
a large number of input/output (I/O) points that are concentrated in a specific
area.
cdQ^TQbTdbQ^c`_^TUbe^Yd
There are 2 versions of the standard transponder unit. One version has an I/O
point capacity of 16 inputs/8 outputs, the other version has a 16 input point
capacity, with no output point capacity. These units, capable of indoor or outdoor
operation, must be mounted in an enclosure or in a protected area.

The half-chassis version of the LTU has an I/O capacity of 128 inputs and 128
outputs. Each unit consists of a 19-inch rack mount half-chassis that contains a
processor card, the power supply for the LTU and slots for two I/O cards.
A full chassis version of the large transponder unit (LTU) is also available. This
unit has an I/O capacity of 256 inputs and 256 outputs. Each unit consists of a
19-inch rack mount chassis that contains a processor card, the power supply for
the LTU and slots for four I/O cards.
Each I/O card faceplate provides two input connector ports (J1 and J2) and three
output connector ports (J3, J4 and J5). The 64 supervised input structure is
identical for each of the 3 card types, however, the output structure is different for
each - 64 relay, 32 relay and 64 lamp driver. These are described more fully in the
sections that follow.
The processor card faceplate houses the connectors to the X and Y Sennet
network connections (TB1 and TB2 respectively).
The 115/230 VAC LTU power supply, mounted inside the rear of the LTU chassis,
provides power to the processor card and the LTU I/O circuit cards.
The power and voltage selection switches are mounted on the rear wall of the
LTU chassis above the power supply.

configurations are made on this card. The back of the card provides connectors
for power and communication from the processor card. The faceplate houses 2
input and 3 output ports.
The 32 output relay card is similar to the 64 output card with the exception that
only 32 outputs are available.
Both of these cards are mounted above the processor card in the ½ or full LTU
chassis.

Remote display and control panel
The remote display and control panel (RDCP) enables the system to display and
process alarms at a location that is different from the central annunciation system.
The unit can be mounted in a 19-inch rack, in a wall or on a table top. Each
Sennet network can accommodate 16 of these panels based on Senstar 100
specifications.
The RDCP accepts 12 VDC or 16 VAC power input. The customer-supplied power
supply should be mounted close to the panel in a secure location.

Repeater
Three repeater card options are available for the Sennet network. A 2- or 3-port
option is available for copper wire network applications. A 2-port copper/fiber
optic option is also available. This repeater is used for networks that use fiber
optic cabling exclusively and also in networks where copper wire and fiber optic
cabling are both used. In the latter instance, the copper/fiber optic repeater can
be used to translate data signals between copper wire and fiber optic cable
compatible signals.
For copper wire networks, repeaters are required to extend the operational
distance between network devices beyond the 1.2 km (¾ mile) limit (or the
specified number of devices allowed), or to implement nonlinear configurations
such as branches or stars.
The fiber optic option may be used in networks where lightning may be a
concern, such as an outdoor application, or in cases where the distance between
2 network devices is beyond the 1.2 km limit for the copper wire, but within the 2
km (1¼ mile) range of the fiber optic cabling.
The repeater is mounted on a Sennet mounting plate which can then be mounted
either in a secured area or in an enclosure.

The repeater accepts 12 VDC, 16 VAC or 110-120/220-240 VAC power input. The
AC operation provides a charger to support local UPS operation with an optional
battery. The power supply and repeater are mounted on a Sennet mounting plate
which can then be mounted either in a secured area or in an enclosure.
The supplied local UPS operation applies
only to the repeater. It does not extend to
the other network devices.
