1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Senstar Personal Protection Device (PPD) is a belt-worn radio frequency (RF) transmitter,

which transmits a signal when activated. System receivers (sensors) located in the facility detect

the transmission and the alarm is presented on a central operator console. This notifies security

staff that assistance is required in personal duress situations.

This document contains the information necessary to configure and maintain the PPD for use in

personal duress alarm systems such as Senstar's Flare (Personal Alarm Locating System - PALS)

and Flash (Personal Portable Alarm System - PPAS). The PPD is also known as a Personal

Portable Alarm (PPA). The PPD and its setup are identical for both of these systems. In this

manual the duress system (the RF receivers, communications network, display and control PC

and software) may also be referred to as personal alarm system or simply the system.

Each PPD is identified by a unique user settable ID code that identifies it to the system. It is

activated by pushbutton, and optionally by a lanyard pull-pin and a man-down tilt angle detector.

This document describes setting the ID codes and options for PPD units, as well as PPD

maintenance.

1.1 Scope

This manual is intended for use by qualified service technicians who are responsible for the

maintenance of the personal alarm system. This manual assumes that the reader has a basic

knowledge of electronics and Windows O/S PC operation and is familiar with the system

operation and configuration.

1.2 Related Documentation

The following additional manuals are available for reference.

The Flare System Administrator Manual (T1DA1202-001) describes Flare system management,

configuration and database creation and calibration. Intended for the Flare system administrator.

The Flare Maintenance Manual (T1DA1302-001) describes the methods for maintaining the

Flare system, including preventive and corrective maintenance procedures. Intended for technical

personnel, responsible for the maintenance and repair of the system.

2.0 PPD ID SETTING OVERVIEW

PPD units will not generally come from the factory (new or repaired units) with the site specific

settings unless a pre-programming order and the necessary information have been provided.

PPDs are shipped with IDs related to their serial number and as such may fit a unique and

appropriate operation range without further configuration. Typically a PPD need be set up only

once, sometimes spares are required to be setup to temporarily replace units that are out of

service for battery maintenance.

PPD Maintenance Manual

T1DA0502-002, Rev A Page 6

A site may have PPD IDs set within a certain range to prevent other PPD ID RF transmissions

from an adjacent site from being picked up and displayed. Adjacent facilities must establish a

mutual plan of ID ranges or frequency of operation to isolate each system. There are also pull-

pin and man-down option settings that the user may wish to customize.

2.1 PPD ID Guidelines

This section describes the various factors controlling PPD ID offset and range settings.

The PPD supports IDs in the range 0-4095, and there are two offsets that may be applied, the

PPD offset and the low battery (LB) offset.

There are also two PPD ID range types in use with the Flare System. The old range type (type 0)

evolved from the need to retain backwards compatibility with existing systems and compatibility

with the ID coding of other transmitter vendors. The new range type (type 1) was introduced to

simplify offsets and ranges. The Flash system uses only range type 1.

There are also two types of ID modulation, the older 12 bit, and the newer modulation which

uses 14 bits to provide optional PPD features such as pull-pin and man-down module (tilt)

alarms. For each of these there are ini settings, which must be set before any ID programming is

performed. Note that the ini settings used in setting PPD IDs (Transmitter Programmer.ini) must

match the corresponding settings in the system ini file.

2.1.1 PPD Offsets

The PPD offset is a value that is added to the ID set via the Transmitter Programmer software to

form a PPD transmit ID. This is the code that the PPD transmits. In addition, for 12 bit mode the

low battery condition is signified by adding a low battery offset:

PPD transmit ID = PPD ID + PPD offset

PPD transmit ID for LB = PPD ID + PPD offset + LB offset

For a user-programmed ID of 1001 in 12 bit mode (with PPD offset = 467 & LB offset = 500):

PPD transmit ID = 1001 + 467 = 1468

PPD transmit ID for LB = 1001 + 467 + 500 = 1968

The system (Flash or Flare) in which the PPD is used must be configured with the same offset

values in its ini file as those used to program all of the PPDs. When configured correctly, the

system software subtracts the same offsets from the received PPD transmit ID and displays the

original user set PPD ID.

2.1.2 Range Type 0 (early Flare systems - circa 2002)

The PPD offset follows the rules:

if the PPD ID is in the range 0 to 999 then the PPD Offset = -3300

if the PPD ID is in the range 1000 to 4095 then the PPD Offset = 467

PPD Maintenance Manual

T1DA0502-002, Rev A Page 7

In the older Range type 0 Flare systems, the range programmed into the sensors would not be

translated by offset, (for the example in section 2.1.1, the range downloaded to the sensors for

100 PPDs starting at ID 1001 would be 1001 – 1600, to handle the PPD IDs 1001-1100 and the

low battery IDs 1501-1600).

2.1.3 Range Type 1

In the Range type 1 Flare and Flash systems, the range programmed into the sensors is translated

by offset, (for the example in section 2.1.1, the range downloaded to the sensors would be 1468-

2068). However, the PPD offset in range type 1 does not follow the rules of range type 0 and can

be any value - ideally zero. Therefore we can have the much simpler case:

For a user-programmed ID of 1001 in 12 bit mode (with PPD offset = 0 & LB offset = 500)

PPD transmit ID = 1001 + 0 = 1001 = PPD ID

PPD transmit ID for LB = 1001 + 0 + 500 = 1501

The range that is downloaded to the sensors for 100 PPDs starting at 1001 would be 1001-1600.

No offset is added to the PPD ID or range, and no offset is subtracted by the system.

2.1.4 Low Battery Offset

In 12 bit mode, the system will examine the incoming PPD transmit ID value, subtract the PPD

offset, and compare the result to the minimum and maximum ID values in its ini file. In this way,

the system will determine if the received alarm is a low battery alarm. If it is a low battery alarm,

the system will subtract the low battery offset and display the correct PPD ID.

Newer PPD firmware (program code version 3.00 and above) supports 14 bits of modulation.

This can be used with Range type 1 systems. In 14 bit mode the 2 additional bits are available to

provide alarm type information, push-button, low-battery, pull-pin, and man-down. In this case,

no low battery offset is used.

Systems with new hardware (Range Type 1), with 14 bit PPD IDs have no offsets, or extended

range for low battery, and are therefore, simpler. Especially when adjacent sites require non-

overlapping PPD ranges.

Existing sites must keep offsets and ranges as originally established. Note your existing ini file

settings and record them in site specific documentation.

The following table shows the offset and range guidelines for legacy installations.

3.0 PPD PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE

The PC software Transmitter Programmer (p/n T1SW0800) and a programmer adapter

(p/n T1FG0600) are required to configure PPD IDs and other parameters.

3.1 PC System Requirements

The PPD Programming Software (Transmitter Programmer.exe) requires a PC running a

Windows operating system with a serial port available. Programming requires a minimal amount

of system resources such as hard drive space and RAM memory. The software should run

without problem on virtually any modern desktop PC.

3.2 Installing the Program Files

The programming software consists of three main files:

Transmitter Programmer.exe

TxProgrammer.ini

Frequencies.txt

To install the software, copy the files from the provided media (CD or Floppy Disk) to a

directory on the Maintenance PC's hard drive. The files can be copied into a folder called

C:\TransmitterProgrammerX.XY where X.XY is the release version. There is also an install

notes file supplied to help guide the installation. If desired add a desktop shortcut to the

application after installation.

3.3 Configure the INI File

This section describes the configuration of the TxProgrammer.ini file that must be completed

before attempting to program PPDs. Do this BEFORE programming any PPDs. All PPD units at

a facility must be programmed with the same ini offset settings.

To edit the ini file, open the TxProgrammer.ini file in the working directory (e.g.,

C:\TransmitterProgrammerX.XY). This will open the file for editing. Enter the values as

described below, save your changes and exit.

There are five parameters that must be reviewed and set to your site specific values. Once values

are established for a site, and the PPDs are programmed, they cannot be changed without

potentially having to reprogram all PPDs.

PPD_Offset - 0 for new sites

Low_Battery_Offset - can be 300, 500, 1000, N/A for 14 bit PPDs

PPDId_Low_Limit - lowest PPD ID in use at the facility

PPDId_High_Limit - highest PPD ID in use at the facility

Type - (0 for 6 volt PPDs, 1 for 9 volt PPDs)

PPD Maintenance Manual

T1DA0502-002, Rev A Page 9

The values depend on requirements for non-overlapping PPD ID ranges (in the case of adjacent

sites), the site Range Type (0 or 1), and the PPD firmware version.

COMM_PORT - the port connected to the programmer adapter (1=COM1)

3.3.1 Man-Down Module Parameters

The ini file contains a number of parameters under the heading [ManDown]. You can set these

values to your site Man-Down Module (MDM) settings so each time the transmitter Programmer

software is started your values are shown in the MDM setup dialog.

4.0 CONNECTING AND PROGRAMMING THE PPD

The PPD programmer adapter (p/n T1FG0600 aka. DWI p/n A76440-2) is an interface that

connects between the PC and the PPD being programmed. The interface assembly consists of a

straight through serial cable, and the adapter box (dongle) and adapter board (T1BA0800)

interconnected by approximately 24 in. of 20-conductor ribbon cable. The adapter board is

fragile and should be handled carefully. Particular caution should be exercised to avoid bending

or breaking the adapter pins.

4.1 Programming Adapter Board

The adapter board has a function jumper J1. For programming, this jumper must be in the 2-3

position as shown in Figure 4.1. Ensure that the ribbon cable socket is inserted with the proper

orientation into the connector of the adapter board. Mate pin 1 to 1. Pin 1 on the socket and

connector are designated with an embossed triangle.

T1DA0502-002, Rev A Page 10

4.2 Connect Adapter Box (dongle) to PC

Connect the dongle to the PC using a 9 Pin EIA-232 straight-through cable maximum length of

3 m (10 ft.). Connect the adapter to the appropriate COM port on the PC on which the

Transmitter Programmer software has been installed. The DB-style connectors can only be

plugged in, in one orientation. Gentle pressure is all that is required. If excessive force is needed,

the connector and plug may not be properly aligned and continued force may damage or break

the connector pins.

4.3 PPD Battery Removal

The PPD programming interface connector is located in the battery compartment. Remove the

battery cover (Figure 4.3). Only remove the battery cover at a workstation equipped with

electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection since static sensitive components are exposed. The

battery cover is fastened with security screws requiring a Torx security driver bit.

Remove the battery from the battery compartment by gently tapping the transmitter case against

the palm of the hand while the battery cover is removed. The battery will fall into your hand,

retained by the flying leads of the battery clip. Carefully unsnap the battery clip and set the

battery aside.

4.4 Attaching adapter board to PPD

The adapter board is inserted into the programming connector located in the bottom of the

battery compartment shown in Figure 4.4. Note the notch guides on each side of the battery

compartment opening. The adapter board is made to fit into these guides to aid in aligning the
