Multifunction card

Single-board plus interface board, supplied by Senstar-Stellar, that provides: sanity timer to 
automatically reboot Senstar 100 when software or hardware failure is detected, open collector 
outputs for external alarm reporting and Senstar 100 ready signal, 2 serial ports, 4 dry contact 
output relays. 

Node ID

A unique identifier assigned to each Senstar 100 control unit (computer). The default value in 
the sample site data is Node 1.

Power reset harness

Computer wiring assembly, which connects the Multifunction card to the computer’s reset 
circuitry. It enables the sanity timer to automatically reboot the Senstar 100 system when a 
hardware or software failure is detected.

Primary device

Device, which connects to a serial port on the CU, and is used to collect or respond to alarms. 
The list of primary devices includes: Redundant CU, Video Switcher, Control Module, Interface 
Module, Sennet Network, Starcom, Custom Handler, David 300, Video Controller, Fiber Sensys, 
FOIDS, Weather Logger.

QNX

Stable, multi-tasking, highly reliable real time PC operating system with low memory 
requirements and extremely fast response time.

Redundant CU

One of the 36 primary device designations in the database is reserved for the connection of a 
redundant CU. The Senstar 100 system supports up to 16 CUs connected via the QNX network.

Sanity timer

Automatically reboots Senstar 100 when a software or hardware fail is detected - a feature of the 
Multifunction card.

Save user data function

Function in the Startup program that makes backups of user-defined data - alarm prompts, 
checklists, alarm causes, passwords, etc.

Secondary device

Device that assists in the running of the Senstar 100 system - includes touchscreen, mouse, 
modem, printers (event loggers).

Select keyboard type 

function

Function in the Startup program that specifies the type of keyboard you wish to use.

Select monitor type 

function

Function in the Startup program that specifies the type of monitor you are using.

Site Creation 

Software module that allows you to create and modify your own site database and draw maps.

Startup program

Senstar 100 program that is used to initialize the hard disk, load the application software and 
sample site data, make backups of the master disks, align the touch screen, select the keyboard 
character set, select the monitor type, and save user-defined data (autostarts from the QNX boot 
disk).

Video switching function

One of the 36 primary device designations in the database is reserved for the connection of a 
video switcher. Software function that controls video switchers using serial data 
communications.
