INTRODUCTION

CongratulationsonpurchasingyourXandemTomographicMotionDetection(TMD)kit!Thisdocument

providesdetailedtechnicalinformationandwillguideyouthroughtheprocessofinstallingand

configuringyoursystem.



AXandemTMDsystemismadeupoftwokindsofdevices.Thenodesarethedevicesthatsurroundthe

areawheremotionistobesensed.Thesenodesarenotactuallysensorsbecauseeachonecannotsense

anythingbyitselftheyonlyworkintandemwithothernodes.Themorenodesyouhave,themorearea

youcancoverpersystem.



Theprocessingunit(PU)isthesecondkindofdevicewhichactsasagatewayforthemotiondetection

signal.Ithastwonormallyclosedcontactsformotionandtroubletriggeringthatcanbeusedtoeasily

integratetheTMDkitwithothersystems,asshowninFigure1.WhentheTMDsystemdetectsmotion

withintheareasurroundedbynodes,orwhenatroublewiththesystemisdetected,anormallyclosed

relayontheprocessingunitisopened.Thisisastandardwayinwhichmostsecurityandautomation

INSTALLATION



Follow the Do’s and Don’ts of Xandem TMD



DO:

●DotestusingaTMDdemokitbeforepermanentinstallation.TheTMDdemokitispowered

bybatteriesandenablesfasttestinginvariousenvironments.Testingwiththedemokitwillsave

youtimeandhelpyouavoidinstallationproblems.

●Doplaceallnodeswithinrangeofeachother.Detectionperformanceismaximizedwhenall

nodesarewithinwirelesstransmissiondistanceofeachother.

●DoplacethePUwithinrangeofallnodes.ThePUmustbeabletocommunicatewithallnodes

inthenetwork.Insomecases,thismayrequireplacingthePUneartheareabeingsensedbythe

nodesandrunningalongersignalwireorwirelessrepeaterfromthePUtothepanel.

●Doplacenodes0.51.0metersofftheground.Nodesshouldbeplacedatapproximatelytorso

levelofahumanbodysothatdetectionperformanceisoptimal.

●Domountnodessecurelyonsturdystructures.Ifanodefalls,shifts,ormoves,itmayleadtoa

falsetrigger.Makesuretosecurethenodesfirmlytosomethingthatwillnotmove.

●Doplacenodesontheinteriorofthedetectionareawalls.Whentheareatobesensedis

surroundedbywalls,installthenodesontheinteriorsideofthewallstomaximizedetectionand

minimizefalsetriggering.

●Dotestperimetersensitivity.Walkormovevehiclesaroundtheoutsideoftheareatomakesure

thethresholdisnotsetsolowthatmotionoutsidetheperimetercausesfalsetriggering.

●Dousebatterypacksduringconfigurationandtesting.Itisrecommendedtotestanareausing

portablebatterypowerbeforehardwiringaninstallation.Thiswillensurethatthedetectionis

successfulbeforecommittingtoawiredinstallation.

●Dosetsensitivitythresholdsashighaspossible.Toavoidfalsealarms,trysettingthethreshold

atahighvalueuponinstallation.Testthesystem,andifit’snotsensitiveenough,decreasethe

thresholduntilitis.It’sbettertoapproachtheoptimumthresholdfromhigherthresholds,and

workyourwaytolowervaluestoavoidfalsetriggering.



DON’T:

●Don’tinstallnodesonthegroundoragainstmetal.Thiswillseverelylimitsensing

performanceandcommunicationrangeofyourTMDsystem.Placenodesatleast.5metersfrom

thegroundanddonotmounttometalsurfaces.

●Don’tinstallthesensingsystemaroundtreesorfoliage.Movingbranchesandleavescancause

falsetriggeringiftheyarewithinornearthenetworkarea.Thisisespeciallytruewhentheareais

open(notenclosedbydensewallslikebrick,concrete,masonry).

●Don’tinstallnodestoohighfromtheground.Placingnodestoohighwillraisethesensing

planeandreducesensitivity.EXCEPTION:Ifdeployingthenodesinathreedimensional

configuration,thisrulecanbeignoredaslongaslinksfromnodetonodecrossthroughtheareato

besensed.

●Don’tplacenodesaroundornearabruptwaterflows.Appliancessuchasdishwashers,toilets,

icemakers,andwashingmachinesmaycausefalsetriggeringiftheyabruptlydrainorloadwater.

Largewaterpipeswithabruptstreamsmayalsocauseafalsetriggerunlesstheyaremadeofmetal



TMDUserGuide(RevC.2)Page7



whichnaturallyblocksthesensingfromthemovingwater.

●Don’tinstallnodesonwindowsills.Placingthenodestooclosetowindowsmaycausethe

systemtobesensitivetomotionoutside.

●Don’tinstallthePUtoofarfromthenodes.ThePUhastoremaininalocationwhereitcan

communicatewithallofthenodesinthewirelessnetwork.

●Don’tmountnodestostructuresthatwillmove.Ifthenodesmove,falsetriggeringmayoccur.

Makesuretosecurethenodesfirmlytosomethingpermanentandsturdy.

●Don’texposenodestoprecipitation(rain,snow,hail).OutdoordeploymentsofTMDare

experimental.Precipitationmaycausefalsetriggeringifwaterdirectlyhitsnodeenclosures.Make

surethatallnodesareshelteredforanyoutdoordeployments.

●Don’tplacenodesorPUsnearmicrowaveovens.Microwaveovenscancauseinterferenceto

XandemTMDsystems.Makesurenodesremainatleast5metersfrommicrowaveovens.

●Don’tplacenodesdirectlybehindlargemetalobjects.Thiswillcausesomeoftheradiowaves

toreflectawayfromtheinteriorofthenetworkwhichdecreasesperformanceandcreatespossible

sensitivityoutsidethedetectionarea.

●Don’tmountnodesdirectlyonmetal.Metalcandistorttheantennapatternsonthenodesand

negativelyaffectdetectionperformance.Keeplargemetalplanesatleast1footaway.

Choose a TMD kit size



TMDissoldinkitsof6,10and15nodes.Thebestkitsizedependsonthesquarefootageoftheareayou

wanttocover,andthedensityoftheobstructionswithinthearea.Usethetablebelowasaguidelinefor

Connect battery packs and power up nodes



Ithighlyrecommendedthatyouperformatest

usinga312VDCbatterybeforepermanent

wiring.Insertbatterypackwireleadsintothe

TMDdeviceconnectorsaspictured.



Becarefulnottoreversethepolarity(+/)

whenconnectingthewiresasthiswill

permanentlydamagethedevices.



Powerupallnodes.Afterallnodesareon,the

twogreenLEDsshouldbeillumnitated.Ifother

LEDsarelit,pleaseseethe“LEDStatus

Indicators”sectionofthisdocument.

Deploy the nodes around the detection area



Placethenodesuniformlyaroundthedetectionareaatapproximately0.51.0meterofftheground.

Chooselocationswhereyouplantomountthenodespermanently.Rememberthateachnodeisnot

actuallyasensor,theconnection“lines”goingfromnodetonodearewhatdothesensing.Themorelines

thatcrossagivenlocation,themoresensitivethedetectionis.



Donotplacenodesonornearthegroundorthesystemwillnotfunctionproperly.Makesurethedevices

arecompletelystationaryasmovementofthenodeswillcausefalsetriggering.



Test motion detection and adjust sensitivity as needed



1. Poweruptheprocessingunitandwaitfor20seconds.ThetwogreenLEDsshouldbeilluminated



TMDUserGuide(RevC.2)Page9



ifitisreceivingcorrectlyfromallnodes.Afterwaitingthe20seconds,iftheorangeoryellow

LEDsarelit,anodemaynotbeturnedonorconfiguredcorrectly,ortheareamaybetoolargefor

thenumberofnodesyouareusing.Pleaserefertothe“LEDStatusIndicators”sectionformore

informationabouthowtointerprettheLEDs.



2. Trymovingaroundwithinthedetectionareatoverifythatmotionisproperlybeingsensed.The

redLEDonthePUturnsonwhenmotionisbeingdetected.Youmayneedtoadjustthesensitivity

tomaximizedetectionperformance(seeinstructionsonhowtochangethesensitivitybelow).

Aftermovementhasstopped,itmaytakeafewsecondsforthesystemtostopindicatingmotion.

Ifnodesaremoved,itwilltakelongerforthemotiondetectiontoturnoffaftermovementhas

stopped.



Ifdetectionperformanceispoorevenafteradjustingthesensitivitythreshold,theareamaybetoo

largeforthenumberofnodesyouaretesting.Tryusingalargerkit,orreducethetotaldetection

areabymovingnodesclosertogether.



3. Itisimportanttoalsotestmotionontheoutsideoftheperimeterforfalsetriggering.Whenthe

areaisenclosedbyheavywallslikebrick,masonry,orconcrete,outerperimetermotionwill

usuallynotbeaproblem.Inopenorthinwalledareaslikedrywallorthinwood,motioncloseto

theperimeterofthedetectionareamaycausefalsetriggering.Ifthisoccurs,reducesensitivityby

raisingthethresholdasexplainedbelow,movenodesfurtherinsidetheperimeter,orrestrict

accesstotheareajustoutsidetheperimeterbyafewmeters.



4. Donotdeploythesystemaroundorneartreesthatmayblowinthewind,astheymaycausefalse

triggering.Ifheavywallssurroundthedetectionarea,treesontheoutsideshouldnotbeaproblem

regardlessofwind.



Tocheckthecurrentsensitivitythresholdofthemotiondetection,dothefollowing:

1. ClickS1onthePUonetime.

2. ClickS2onthePUtwotimes.

3. CountthenumberoftimesthattheLEDsblinktodeterminethecurrentsettingforthemotion
