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.

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.

CMD Cable Assembly
Cable is not supplied. Please follow the recommended specifications when sourcing the cable.
Cable Specifications:
Direct burial Direct burial, plenum CAT 5 or better grade, at least 4 twisted pairs
Protected burial
(conduit) CAT 5 or better plenum, at least 4 twisted pairs
Power cable 16 gauge, 3 conductor, shielded direct-burial (ref #8302S)
Tools:
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for assembling and using the DMC crimping tool M22520/1-01
and turret M22520/1-02.
Set up tool for gauge of wire and pins being used. For the most common 24 gauge wire, position
turret for 20 (red cylinder) and black wire size dial to 24.
To attach 9 pin Clipper connectors to cable ends:
1. Strip off approx 50mm (2”) of cable’s outer jacket.
2. Take note of wire colors and twisted pairs. Note: Your cable will have its own color
combinations. What is important is that it is wired the same on both ends and twisted pairs
stay together.
3. The backshell comes in 3 pieces, all in one bag. Assemble the two major pieces together (they
can only join one way) placing the washer between them. Tighten firmly. Excess force
will distort the washer.
4. Feed the cable through the assembled backshell, entering the compression nut end.
5. Strip off 4mm (5/32) of each wire. Place a pin into the hole of the crimping tool on the side
that has the yellow OSHA sticker. Insert a stripped wire into the pin.
6. Squeeze the handles of the crimping tool noting that it has a ratchet action. You must
complete the crimping action all the way so the handle will release.
Repeat steps 5 & 6 for all 8 wires.
7. Release the red section from the black section of the Clipper connector by referring to the
Clipper Assembly instructions (Page 16).
8. The 2 pieces do not need to be fully separated, just the red part slightly extracted.
9. Insert pins noting the pin numbering/labeling on the red section

10. Squeeze tabs and return red section into black.
11. Screw backshell onto connector. It may be easier to temporarily connect to a CMD box while
installing the backshell.
12. Tighten compression nut of backshell to complete Clipper connector installation.
13. Using a multimeter or similar device, verify continuity of cable. Pin 1 of one end connects to
pin one of the other end, pin 2 to 2, pin 3 to 3, etc. Since the pins are not clearly numbered on
the Clipper connector, it is helpful to use the inner keyed tabs surrounding the pin holes or the
one indented pin for a reference.
If CB to CMD exceeds 110’/33m, crimp the pin 5 wire (wht/blu) with pin 7 (wht/brn), then crimp
the pin 6 wire (blu) with pin 8 (brn) at both ends. Do not use pins 5 and 6.
