Product Overview
The CMD-2 motion sensor can be used in a wide variety of applications. The primary purpose of the
sensor is to detect motion and provide additional information about the moving target. The sensor is
designed to take advantage of one of the primary features of its technology, which is its ability to see
through earth, concrete and other standard building materials. Other motion sensors need a window
onto the world, the CMD-2 does not, and it can be completely buried where it is protected from
tampering and from the environment.
One application of the CMD-2 is to protect buildings and premises from entry by unknown persons
or vehicles. Used in conjunction with CCTV systems the CMD-2 can establish a powerful barrier to
identify and track unknown intruders long before they enter a building. Sensors may be placed almost
one quarter mile from the security center, giving the phrase ‘detection beyond the fence’, whole new
meaning. Longer distances are possible with fiber optic or wireless Ethernet connection. Because the
CMD-2 is buried, intruders cannot see or disable the sensor. False alarms are minimal.
The sensor can be buried up to eight inches beneath the surface of earth, roads or walkways. The
material covering the sensor can be concrete, granite, earth, bricks, etc. The only limitation is that the
sensor cannot be covered with sheet metal or a dense metal mesh material.
The radial range of the sensor is 22 to 25 feet (6.5 to 8 meters) and it covers an elliptical pattern on
the ground (or approximates a hemisphere in 3D). It is able to detect motion from any direction.
Therefore with a fifty foot diameter of coverage multiple sensors can form a ring or fence around a
facility. When a sensor detects motion an alarm signal is generated and recorded. As an option, a
designated CCTV camera can point in the direction of that sensor and record the target and its
activity.
Each sensor is powered through its Ethernet connection (standard CAT-5 burial cable). The
connecting cable from the sensor to a concentrator box (CB-06) and then to the server can be up to
400 feet (123 M) long. Longer cable distances requires daisy-chaining concentrator boxes (CB-06).
Up to four concentrator boxes can be daisy chained resulting in a total cable distance from server to
sensor of 1200 feet (393M). A separate power cable is required for daisy-chained concentrator boxes
(hubs). See the attached diagrams for these two connection methods. Note that Ethernet has a
limitation of 300 feet (91 meters)maximum between hubs. The use of remote power sources can
increase the distance to any desired range.
The two connection methods of daisy-chain and direct connection can be used together in a single
security system. The limitations are defined by the number of sensors that can be powered by the
server. Three standard servers are available; they are designed to control, monitor and power up to
8, 24 and 48 CMD sensors. Custom systems can be designed as required.

The following diagram shows how these sensors are buried in a typical installation. Signal and power
to the sensor is supplied from a buried Ethernet wire which goes to the server at the security
command and control console.
A hole is dug approximately 18 inches by 18 inches (45cm x 45cm) by about eighteen inches (45 cm)
deep. A four inch (10 cm) layer of sand is placed in the hole and the sensor is placed on top of the
sand. The sensor is then covered with sand about one inch 2.5 cm) deep. Earth (topsoil) is then used
to fill the hole completely or if the sensor is under pavement then asphalt or concrete is used to fill
the hole to the existing grade. Note that highly conductive soils such as wet clay covering the sensor
can reduce the detection range.
The sensor can be wall mounted
as shown.
The resulting side view of the installation
complete with detection field is shown
(right).The detection hemisphere has a
diameter of 50 feet (15m).

In very cold regions or where clay soils may prohibit drainage of water from the CMD installation,
then holes should be drilled another two feet into the soil and then filled with pea gravel to permit
better drainage. This type of installation will also provide better protection from freeze-thaw cycles
over time.
Server-24
The CMD Server box provides the power and Ethernet connections to the CMD sensors. Up to 24
sensors can be connected to and powered from the basic server (shown below). Other servers are
available with additional capacity and dry switches. Dry contact connections are provided for each
sensor so that alarms can be turned on and/or CCTV camera presets can be utilized. The server also
provides the gateway to the security network - and the Internet. It is lockable and made of steel,
designed for wall mounted applications.
The server logs all alarms and monitors the sensor ‘heartbeat’ to insure each one is working. The
internet connection allows users with the proper password to access the information from any
location.
The following diagram shows the primary connections that can be made to the Server.

Server-8
The CMD Server-8 is a laptop computer system that connects up to 8 sensors to collect and log data.
This version of the Server is more compact and appropriate for smaller security installations. The
CMD Server-8 includes a laptop with all the software needed to run the system.

Installation Guide
Ethernet Cable Installation
Standard CAT5 Ethernet cable is used to make all connections from the sensors to the concentrator
boxes and from the concentrator boxes to the Server.
Buriable Ethernet cable should be used in all cases where conduit is not available. This type of cable
is rugged, waterproof and rodent proof.
If conduit is available then CAT5 plenum Ethernet cable can be used. Plenum cable has solid wires
which carry the signal and power over longer distances than stranded wire cables. Note that when
installing the solid wire plenum cable it is very important not to get kinks in the cable. The cable
should be carefully unrolled during installation. Kinks in the wire can cause breaks and internal
signal reflections which will degrade the signal from the sensor.
The Ethernet cable may be buried at any depth desired. Typically the depth should be 3 to 4 inches (8
to 10 cm) to avoid most problems that may come from changes to the ground surface. In addition to
trenching there are specialized tools to make cable installation fast and less disruptive to the ground
surface. Companies who install fiber optic cable for Internet applications have this equipment.
Typically once the cable run length is measured it is best to add another 5% to the measured length.
This extra distance will take care of small variations that might have been missed.
The following diagram shows the direct connection method of connecting Concentrator hubs to the
Server and defined cable length limitations. Cable length limits are due to Ethernet transmission
limits and power transmission limits.

The diagram above shows a typical installation and how the devices are connected. The devices
colored blue are supplied by UltraVision. The units shown are:
•CMD motion sensors (21)
•Concentrator Hubs (4)
•CMD Server (1)
A Concentrator hub can have up to six sensors connected. Servers are available in three standard
sizes; 1. CMD Laptop Server can have up to two hubs connected and a maximum of 8 sensors
all direct connected.
2. CMD Server 24 can deploy 24 sensors.
3. CMD Server 48 can deploy 48 sensors.
4. Servers can be customized depending upon customer requirements.
The above limits are defined by power limits supplied through the server. When power is supplied
from independent sources, the sensor limit for each server is 250. Dry switches may be added as
required.
The dry switch outputs from the server can be connected to CCTV cameras in order to drive them to
their preset locations. The dry switch outputs can also be used to sound alarms, turn on lighting and
perform any other operation required in a standard security system.
