M C Border Security Inc. introduces the RAM100 www.xeostech.com
Remote Alarm Monitoring - Iridium
Monitor Remote area Sensors Near Real-Time
via Iridium Satellite
Due to the increased demand for border security and monitoring of secure areas we have developed the RAM100 . When remote monitoring of secure areas is needed and conventional communications such as RF and cellular are not available, you need satellite coverage. This system can run autonomously for long periods of time under battery power and generate alarms from sensor triggers. Alarms are sent back via email to the user and the user can send commands back to the RAM100 .
The system is designed to survive adverse environmental conditions and continue to operate.
How Does it Work?
Under battery power the Remote Alarm Monitor generates alarm messages from external triggers. Messages are sent by satellite transmitter to orbiting Iridium satellites and relayed to the user via email. Emails can be configured to be forwarded to operational personnel via SMS. Note: more than one person can be notified via SMS.
A typical installation includes up to 4 magnetic seismic, or Passive Infra Red sensors (e.g.Cartell type CP-1) connected to the RAM100 via cable glands. Sensor wires are terminated inside the RAM100 via terminal strips. Note: Any senor that can trip a contact closure relay can be used with the RAM100 .
An internal power supply (alkaline, lithium or lead acid) can power the RAM100 for extended periods of time. Optionally, an external power source can be connected to the RAM100. One power source supplies power to all the sensors as well as the RAM100 itself.
In addition to alarm messages, the RAM100 can also be configured to send out status messages. Status messages report sensor health, battery voltage, satellite antenna health and number of alarm events (NOE). An example STATUS message is: Mon:1234/Sen:1OK/Sen:2OK/Sen:3OFF/Sen:4OFF/
Batt:12.6/ RSSI:4/NOE:2378

Loaner Equipment
If your unit is out of commission, M C Border Security will do its best to keep you in the fight! Loaner units will be on a first come first serve bases.
• Designed to be buried, the RAM100 will survive submersion up to 1m in water. The device will communicate with satellites when buried under 3 cm of light earth material.
• 4 Sensor Inputs, 2 Outputs, 1 Analog Input
• Notifications will be pre-defined SMS messages
• Message latency less than 1 min from trigger
• SMS notifications are generated from emails forwarded from the device. Up to 5 email addresses can be specified as recipients of alarm messages. (Unlimited SMS forwarding)
• Magnetic Sensors will be primarily used with the RAM100
• Any sensor that can trigger a contact closure relay can be used with the RAM100
• Internal or External power source

RAM100 Technical Specifications
Configuration. The RAM100 can be programmed via the Iridium interface. Configuration will also be possible via serial port. Configurable parameters include
Status Timer, Check Messages Timer, Input Trigger
Logic, Output Trigger Logic
Sleep mode. The sleep mode will put the system in a low power state to conserve battery power. The system will wake up periodically to check for pending requests
that may be queued by the Iridium network. The sleep cycle will be configurable from 1 hour to 1 week.
Status request. The response will report the current health of the system. The system will only respond to a request after it wakes up.
Diagnostic/test mode that is activated by a push-button and will turn ON the diagnostic LED’s. The system will support in field testing of each sensor as well as
the Iridium satellite link.
On Power Up, the system shall send a status message via the Iridium modem indicating that it has been ACTIVATED
Specifications subject to change without notice
