Operation by any other party is a violation of 47 U.S.C. 301 and could subject the operator to serious legal penalties. 3 Chapter 1 – INTRODUCTION Overview The SPIDER-650 is intended for determining the presence of objects that are within a 50-foot line-of-sight of the unit. The unit has a resolution of 1 foot with a maximum range of 50 feet. Installation The SPIDER-650 unit can be placed anywhere as long as the antennae are facing outward towards the open space of detection. The antennae are located on the side with the elevated plastic facing. The only components required are an external cable (see Figure 1) and power supply. The cable should be 9-pin female on both ends with one end having two terminals for distributing power to the SPIDER-650 unit. Figure 1 below shows banana leads as an example of a way to use an external power supply as the source. Battery terminal leads may also be used to power the unit as long as the battery can supply about 1 watt of power at its operating voltage (see Table 1). 9-pin Female (to Terminal) 9-pin Female (to RADAR Unit) Banana Leads (to Battery or Power Supply) Figure 1 - Communication / Power Cable Table 1 - Pin Description of Terminal-Side 9-Pin Female Pin Number Pin Name Description 1 GND Grounded 2 RD Received Data 3 TD Transmitted Data 4 N.C.

The below procedure assumes the user is running Windows 2000. Since other versions of Windows may deviate slightly from the following procedure, the user should check the operating system user’s manual for proper terminal setup procedures. HyperTerminal Setup To setup a HyperTerminal window under Windows 2000, adhere to the following procedure. STEP 1: Navigate to the Programs -> Accessories -> Communications folder and select the HyperTerminal icon. You should see a window similar to the one shown in Figure 3. Type a name for your HyperTerminal Session. The example below uses the “SPIDER-650” name. Once you have typed a name, click the OK button. 5 Figure 3 - Connection Description Window STEP 2: Determine which serial port the SPIDER-650 unit is attached to and enter it in the “Connect To” box shown below. Then click the OK button. Figure 4 - Serial Port Selection STEP 3: You should see the Port Settings dialog box come up next. Enter the settings exactly as they appear in Figure 5. Click the OK button when you are finished. Figure 5 - Serial Port Settings 6 STEP 4: Check the terminal settings window by navigating to the File -> Properties window and clicking the Settings tab. Make sure the properties are exactly as they appear in Figure 6. Figure 6 - Terminal Properties Powering the Unit Once the HyperTerminal setup is complete, applying power to the terminals will activate the unit. The HyperTerminal window should appear similar to Figure 7. This figure shows what the user will see in the HyperTerminal window on cycling power. Figure 7 - Initial Terminal Screen after Applied Power The screen displays the eight options available to the user. The most common option is the ‘g’ option. This will force the SPIDER-650 to transmit 5 consecutive pulses and recover and display the respective returns. Each of the 5 series of 50 returns is captured using a different sensitivity level on the receiver. Therefore, each row of asterisks on the HyperTerminal window displays a set of 50 returns received at a certain sensitivity level. The rows are arranged such that the first row of returns is captured at the least sensitive levels, while the last row of 50 returns is the most sensitive of the set. This display is illustrated in Figure 8 showing a target found at bin 13 at the 7 most sensitive setting. Typing the character ‘g’ on the terminal’s keyboard will place the user in this mode. Figure 8 - Terminal Screen after Executing 'g' Menu Item Aiming the Unit For best results, the unit should be aimed so that the white-faced plastic front is perpendicular to the line-of-sight between the unit and the target. Chapter 3 – ADVANCED MENU OPTIONS There are seven other advanced options available to the user if a custom software interface is to be used. DAC Menu Item The DAC Menu is the menu that allows the user to change sensitivity level…

Theory of Operation Spider-650is a lightweight, portable RADARdevice which utilizes ultra wideband (UWB) short-pulse technology to determine the pres- ence of, and the precise distance to, a target by measuring the round- trip time-of-flight of the transmitted pulse to the target and back. Spider-650can accurately determine the range to targets within a 50 foot distance from the unit, with a measurement accuracy of ± 1 foot. Spider-650provides a simple RS-232 or RS-485 interface for external control and monitoring. SPIDER-650 Features Specifications MULTISPECTRAL SOLUTIONS, INC.
