    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​ ...

    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...

    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...

    Connect battery packs and power up nodes it highly recommended that you perform a test using a 3­12 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 perm...

    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 infor...

    Following: 1. Click s1 on the pu one time. 2. Click s2 on the pu one time ­ only the green led on the right should be illuminated. 3. Click s1 the number of times that you want to set the sensitivity threshold to be set. One click is most sensitive (lowest threshold), with more clicks making it incr...

    Insert a grommet on the interior of the punch­out hole. Thread the wire through the grommet and insert the power wire leads into the connector on each node. ​ be careful not to reverse the polarity (+/­) of the power leads as this will permanently damage the devices. Place the node in the cradle of ...

    ● trouble detection relay (b)​ : connection b on the pu is a normally­closed relay that will open when a trouble is detected. This may be the case if power is lost to a node, or if the processing unit fails to consistently receive data readings from the nodes. Perform final walk test verify that the...

    Another ten times then click s2 to confirm. A factory reset will occur after 10 led blinks ­ all previously saved values will be erased. ● if at any time you are unsure as to how many times you have clicked a button, turn the power off then back on, wait for the device to return to normal operation,...

    If the threshold is set too low, motion on the outside of the sensing network may trigger a motion detection. If the threshold is set too high, motion may not be detected when motion occurs within the area of interest. Adjusting the threshold appropriately is critical to a successful installation. T...

    Each node and processing unit is programmed with the total number of nodes in the sensing network. Processing units do not count as nodes. When changing the total number of nodes, the node ids must always begin with 1 and go to the number of nodes in the system. For example, when changing from a 15 ...

    How to change the trigger count (pu only) the trigger count is the number of times the motion detection threshold must be exceeded before the relay a is opened. For instance, if you set this to 3, the motion threshold must be exceeded 3 times within the specified period before the relay opens. Each ...

    Troubleshooting what do i do if i get false triggering? False triggering is almost always caused by one of the following issues: ● sensitivity threshold is too low with any detection device, there is a trade­off between detection sensitivity and false triggering. If other methods of reducing false t...
