Radio Communicators

TRV-100/TRU-100

Long Range UHF/VHF Radio Transmitters

The TRV-100 & TRU-100 are PIMA's Long Range VHF/UHF Radio Transmitters. Designed to relay transmissions reliably over the radio, the transmitters can also serve as a backup channel to the PSTN communication.

The transmitters can use 2 frequencies (one by one) in the same range: UHF Low/High or VHF Low/Medium/High.

The second frequency can be used per event type, e.g., test events can be transmitted on the second channel only - or be used as the transmitter’s only frequency.

The  TRV-100 & TRU-100  are programmed with PIMA’s COMAX PC application.

SAT-8

Standalone encoder

The SAT-8 is a standalone event encoder, that is used for connecting any non-PIMA control panel to a Central Monitoring Station by the TRV/TRU-100 long range radio transmitters.

The SAT-8 can also be used as a radio alarm-signaling panel (e.g., for connecting thermostats of sensitive cooling systems).
The TRV/TRU-100 VHF/UHF transmitters support two frequencies for improved load balance and are equipped with various protocols to support different CMS.

The SAT-8, i.e., the transmitter frequencies as well as different transmission parameters, can be programmed directly, by connecting to a PC with the COMAX application. The The 
For better performance, it is advised to install the SAT-8 within a closed metal box. PIMA offers such a complete set. The TD-800 includes a SAT-8 assembled in a closed metal box with TAMPER protection with a Power Supply (P/S) and backup battery connection (not included.)

The SAT-8 has a built-in encoder, automatic battery and ransmission check.

Features

• Two Working Frequencies: The SAT-8 can be programmed with two different working frequencies. Each event can be assigned with either frequency. This option enables different scenarios where two frequencies are required (i.e., the first frequency is used for emergency events transmission while the second frequency is used for testing).
• Swinging Input Blocking: When an input is generating 16 consecutive signals, for a period of four minutes, it is regarded as Swinging Input and it is blocked until no signal is detected, at that input, for a period of 10 minutes.
• The input is blocked so the CMS radio network is not jammed by the transmitter. When an input is blocked, an event code is sent to the CMS.
• Transmission LED: A transmission LED is turned ON every time the SAT-8 is transmitting information.
• Auto Test Mode: The SAT-8 shall perform a periodic transmission test as programmed.
• Manual Test Mode: A manual transmission test can be executed by pressing the TEST button.
• Low Voltage Test: The SAT-8 is monitoring the battery voltage and when it drops beneath 11 Vdc, a low battery event is sent to the CMS.
• Fully Programmable: The SAT-8 parameters can be programmed in the field by a laptop PC with COMAX application and an DPR-101

 Parameters that can be programmed:

• Transmitter Frequencies
• Radio Format
• Account Number
• Frames Per Transmission
• Transmission Intervals
• Auto Test Interval
• Event Frequency Select
• Report Code for all events

SAT-N

Universal PSTN to Ethernet & GPRS Communicator

The SAT-N communicator allows the connection of PIMA’s CAPTAIN Intruder Alarm System and non-PIMA systems to PIMA’s NETsoft and NETsoft Pro CMS softwares, via cellular or TCP/IP networks. It provides a solution for alarm systems with no PSTN output as well: the phone line terminals can be connected to the SAT-N, which will route the events via the GSM-200 or the net4pro

ChannelsThe SAT-N has 3 channels: GSM + GSM/GPRS, both via the GSM-200 cellular transmitter, and Ethernet (TCP/IP), via the net4pro card;

Features

• Easy installation and field programming
• Continuous phone line testing (only when used as a backup channel)
• Support in separate supervision for the GSM-200 and the net4pro
• Temporary switching to GPRS/Ethernet by dialing CMS2 telephone number
• Optional anti-substitution/replay syncing with the Central Monitoring Station
• 3 open ACKs
• Tamper switch report code
• Lightning and ESD protection

Assembley optionsThe SAT-N has 2 assembley options:

• As a standalone product, mounted in a metal box together with the P/S-2 power supply, a backup battery, and optional Tamper switch, net4pro and GSM-200.
• Mounted on a bracket with the P/S-2 power supply

The SAT-N parameters are programmed via PIMA’s COMAX upload/download PC application; it supports only the ContactID© protocol (for the PSTN input).

SAT-9

Phone Line to Radio Communicator for Non-PIMA Control Panels

The SAT-9 allows non-PIMA control panels to report the Monitoring Station via the Radio. The communicator incorporates the TRV-100 or TRU-100 Long-range Radio transmitters. It is connected to thecontrol panel's PSTN line termainals - when a report is sent over the line the SAT-9 relays it to the Monitoring Station via the Radio. PIMA's Sentinel decoder is used to decode the transmission and transfers it to the Monitoring Station mangement application.

The SAT-9 has a built-in encoder and it performs periodic radio and telephone auto tests. The parameters of the SAT-9 and the transmitter’s frequencies as well as different transmission parameters are programmed by the COMAX Upload/Download PC/ laptop application.

Features

• Two operating modes:
  • Main channel: all events are transmitted via the Radio;
  • PSTN backup: events are transmitted via the Radio if the PSTN channel fails to
• Support in various protocols:
  • Input PSTN protocols: ContactID©, Pulse, DTMF;
  • Output Radio protocols: PID, PAF™ / NPAF™, Intrac 2000, Milcol-D
• Programmable account numbers: the SAT-9 can be programmed with the connected control panel's account numbers
• PSTN line monitoring:  line interception for programmed phone numbers

Programmable parameters

• Which transmitter frequency for which PSTN format;
• Radio format;
• Account number;
• No. of Frames per transmission;
• Transmission intervals;
• Auto test intervals;
• Three ACK protocols and frequencies;
• Report codes for all telephone events
