2. Adjust the horizontal and/or vertical alignment of the receiver unit slightly.
3. After adjusting the receiver, select the Recalibrate button on the UCM. Once the self-
calibration is complete, check the Gain value to determine if it is at a lower level than the
original value. A lower displayed Gain value indicates an improved received signal.
4. Adjust the horizontal and/or vertical alignment of the transmitter unit slightly.
5. After adjusting the transmitter, select the Recalibrate button on the UCM. Once the self-
calibration is complete, check the Gain value to determine if it is at a lower level than the
original value.
System verification tests
Once the setup and calibration procedures are completed, test and verify the UltraWave sensor.
The type of tests recommended to verify the proper operation of the UltraWave system depends
on the type of installation, and your site specific security requirements (see
).
The following table lists the types of tests and the levels of security to which they apply:
Running a UCM Response plot during the testing will provide a record of the test results along with
an indication of the signal magnitude created by the test subject. Typically, the Crawl Target
Threshold is exceeded first as the test subject enters the microwave field. The Upright Target
Threshold may also be exceeded, depending on the type of test.
is a flow chart of
UltraWave calibration testing.
1. Start the UCM and establish a connection to the UltraWave receiver.
2. Start a UCM Magnitude Response plot.
3. Perform the tests recommended for your level of security while recording the plot.
If each test results in an alarm, use the current Threshold settings and monitor the system for
nuisance alarms.
If the nuisance alarm rate (NAR) is acceptable use the current settings.
Note
Ensure that the final displayed Gain value is less than or equal to the
initial Gain value (step 1).
