Wireless Technology RF - the specific cycles per second of electromagnetic waves travelling through the air without wires. RF is measured in Hertz Frequency Bands are allocated and controlled by the PTT Common uses of RF Cell Phones - 900-1800 MHz band Pagers - 900 MHz band Garage Door Openers - 300 MHz band Security Systems - 300 - 900 MHz bands

Wireless Security Systems 40 MHz - 7.5 m Wavelength, Great Open Air range, Poor Structural penetration, Good Battery Life 433 MHZ - 0.80 m Wavelength, Good Open Air Range, Good Structural Penetration, Excellent Battery Life 868 MHz - Great structural penetration. A dedicated security bandwidth. Good battery life.

Wireless Transmission To transmit information using RF a carrier and some type of modulation is required Carrier - the specific frequency to carry the information Modulation - the means of encoding information on the carrier frequency

System Features Cont’d.. General Learn-Mode Technology System Integrity Narrow Bandwidth Spatial Diversity Receiver

Learn Mode Technology Unique ID number assigned to each device at the factory During system programming the control panel Learns the specific device (ID number) into its memory The device ID number is part of the 58-bit word data pack

Learn Mode Technology Learn Mode Technology Patented 58 - 66 Bit Transmission packet Synchronization Bits Start bit Individual point identification Low battery detection Sensor status Sensor identity double-checked Stop bit - Learn-Mode Technology; Patented Learn-Mode Technology increases the ease and reliability of installations. Each device in a system has its own factory-programmed identity so the receiver simply ‘learns’ the identity of each device. This dramatically reduces installation time and eliminates programming errors in the field. Synchronization bits: Locks sensor transmission and panel into same time frame. Start bit: Tells the panel the real information is starting. Individual point identification: Sensors custom identity; fingerprint; name. Low battery detection: The sensor notifies the panel approximately 1 week before its battery fully discharges, and the panel notifies the user. Sensor status: Tells the panel if the sensor is open or closed (on/off) Sensor identity double checked: verifies that the sensor identity is the same now as it was at the beginning of the message. Stop bit: Tells the panel the sensor transmission is completed.

When A Sensor Transmits It tells the receiver it is an ITI transmitter Sends a sensor ID number Tells the receiver what device type it is (Door/Window, Smoke, Motion etc.) Gives the status of the sensor Indicates a low battery if necessary

When A Sensor Transmits (Cont.) 8 Rounds Of Data When Sensor Is Activated 8 Rounds Of Data When Sensor Is restored 3 Supervisory Rounds Every 64 Minutes Sensors Must Check In Within a Prescribed Amount Of Time To Satisfy The panel

Wireless System Integrity Supervised - all devices report to the panel at a programmed interval Low Transmitter Battery - each device monitors its own battery and when low sends the appropriate signal to the control panel Sensor Contention - each devices transmit on a different timing interval to prevent signals canceling each other out.

Supervised Transmission 1. ‘I’m working fine’ 2. ‘My battery is low’ 3. ‘I’m open/closed A trouble condition is generated when a sensor has a problem Definition: Transmitters report every 64 minutes Each transmitter sends one supervisory transmission every 64 minutes. A low battery status is sent during each transmission (therefore a low battery condition is indicated worst case within 64 minutes).

Narrow Band Advantages Smaller System devices Longer Battery Life More Reliable Low Current Consumption Quieter Frequency Penetrates Buildings Better

What A Receiver Does? Listens For Specific Radio Frequency Signals Spatial Diversity To Help Eliminate Phase Nulls & Dead Spots. The Receiver Switches On/Off Every Millisecond Does Not respond To Noise Or Interference From Outside Sources

Dead Spots & Phase Nulls Filing Cabinets Foil Backed Insulation Mirrors Metal Ductwork Anything That Can reflect Signals Multiple Signals That Reach The Receiver At The Same Time Can Cause A Phase Null

Receiver Advantages Spatial Diversity Via Dual-Antennae Switching Superhetrodyne Receiver converts the carrier frequency to lower one and filters out unnecessary noise. Good Open Air range
