Senstar LM100 luminaires
The luminaire is both the sensing unit and the lighting unit for the Senstar LM100 system. The
luminaires communicate over a wireless mesh network, relaying status information to the gateway
via the luminaire AP. Luminaires are usually mounted near the tops of the fence posts, and can
also be mounted on walls or other flat surfaces. The luminaire head contains the electronic
components (a MEMs sensor, LED lights and a wireless RF transceiver). Each Senstar LM100
gateway supports up to 100 luminaires (1 luminaire AP + 99 luminaires). The luminaires are
configured remotely through a UCM connection to the gateway. One or more luminaires can be
grouped into segments, and the segments can be grouped into zones (via the UCM software). The
detection parameters are set globally for all luminaires. However, each luminaire segment has an
independent alarm threshold and each luminaire zone can have independent light activation
controls. The global detection parameters include an Event Window, an Event Count and an Alarm
Window. There is also a Target Filter which can be used to screen out some sources of
environmental and mechanical noise. Each luminaire is supervised to protect against tampering
and the removal of the device.

The luminaire’s lighting properties are also set globally. This includes brightness, and response to
alarm conditions. There are 5 selectable luminaire alarm responses. Luminaires can be turned
ON, OFF, or strobed individually or in zones. For example, the luminaire that detects an intrusion
attempt can be strobed and the zone it is assigned to can be turned ON. It is also possible to
configure a luminaire zone to follow a routine lighting schedule, with or without providing intrusion
detection. For example, a number of luminaires could be used to provide walkway lighting and
building entrance lighting. These luminaires would be scheduled to turn on at dusk and off at
dawn. Alarm detection is not desired for these luminaires so the detection for this group of
luminaires would be disabled.
