Senstar LM100 luminaire AP
The luminaire AP functions as a standard luminaire providing intrusion detection and routine
lighting. It also serves as the access point through which the distributed luminaires communicate
with the gateway device. A two-wire RS-485 connection between the AP and the gateway enables
half-duplex communication between the two devices. Individual luminaires are polled for status
information, and when an alarm condition occurs, the luminaire detecting the alarm transmits the
status change. This information is passed over the wireless mesh network until it is received by the
luminaire AP. The luminaire AP sends the data to the gateway over the RS-485 connection. The
gateway processes the received signals and triggers an alarm when the information indicates a
valid alarm. The luminaire AP includes a 3 m (10 ft.) 4-conductor cable to make the power and
data connection to the gateway. The luminaire AP can be installed up to 100 m (328 ft.) away from
the gateway by splicing in a suitable length of data/power cable. To use the extended cable length
requires a minimum 24 VDC power supply.

Senstar LM100 gateway
The gateway is the central controller for the Senstar LM100 system. It communicates with the
distributed luminaires through a 2-wire RS-485 connection to the luminaire AP. The gateway
receives the alarm and status information from the luminaires, and depending on the method of
alarm reporting, it either passes the data to the Silver Network Manager (NM) or it activates the
onboard outputs to signal alarm conditions and status information. System setup and configuration
for the luminaires is done using the Universal Configuration Module (UCM) through either a direct
USB connection to the gateway device, or remotely through the Silver Network Manager.

The gateway can be mounted outdoors on a post, either on, or separate from, the fence on which
the luminaires are installed. A rigid fixed post is recommended for outdoor applications. The
gateway can also be installed indoors or outdoors on a flat stable surface. Post-mounting
hardware is supplied for post sizes ranging from 4.5 cm to 12.7 cm (1¾ in. to 5 in.). The hardware
required for surface-mounting the gateway is customer-supplied. The gateway enclosure is hinged
on one side and includes a lockable latch (padlock not included).

The gateway includes ten input/output (I/O) ports, each of which can be configured as either an
input or an output. Option cards are available to provide an additional 4 inputs or 4 outputs. There
are two selectable control modes for the gateway’s I/O, local control mode and remote control
mode. The control mode is set in software, via the UCM. The default setting is local control mode,
in which the gateway controls the on-board relays to signal alarm and supervision conditions (user
specified relay activation conditions). In local control mode, the inputs are used to activate user-
selectable luminaires (i.e., when the input goes high, activate one or more luminaires). In remote
control mode, the alarm data is carried over the Silver Network to a host security management
system (SMS). Remote control mode enables the security management system (SMS) to control
the gateway’s relays as output points to operate other security equipment. The input ports provide
inputs to the host SMS for reporting the status of auxiliary devices. In both modes, you can
configure the gateway’s input/output response according to your site-specific requirements.
