1.0 Introduction
The Model MS30-POE-S Outdoor Digital Microwave Transceiver is part of the INTREPID™ family of products.
It is a digital microwave field disturbance sensor providing perimeter protection for open areas, gates, entryways,
spot location, walls, and rooftop applications. It has been designed to provide optimal detection to 32.8 feet (10m)
with a width of 28 feet (8.53m) at the 30° angle setting.
Model MS30-POE-S incorporates state-of-the-art technology and innovative electronic circuitry to provide reliable
detection in the outdoor environment.
Model MS30-POE-S is configured with a 1.9-foot (.6m) null that reduces sensitivity to small objects very close to
the transceiver so that alarms due to rain or vibration are minimized. Advanced digital signal processing (DSP)
allows continuous monitoring of intrusion alarm and tamper switch status, received signal strength for align/path
fault and detection parameters. The Installation Service Tool (IST) software is used to configure and test the
sensor. This device can be configured for TLS 1.3 / SSL encryption.
Operating at K-band (24.125 GHz) frequency, Model MS30-POE-S is inherently less susceptible to outside
interference from airport landing systems, aircraft or marine radar and other microwave intrusion systems.
The Model MS30-POE-S has three (3) selectable RF frequencies (low, medium and high) to help minimize mutual
interference when used near each other.
Model MS30-POE-S Power over Ethernet power requirements is: 2.81 Watts on startup and 2.56 Watts typical.
The unit is Power over Ethernet and is IEEE 802.3af, Class 1 compliant.
1.1 Basic System Requirements
A browser is required to set up Model MS30-POE-S. The unit supports Firefox 54 or higher, Chrome 59 or
higher, and Edge 40 or higher. Other browsers can be used but usage, resolution, position, and colors may result
in improper configuration of the system. Model MS30-POE-S provides embedded setup tools which can be used
to configure, maintain, or troubleshoot the device. It can be connected to by pointing the browser to the local IP
address of the Model MS30-POE-S on the network.
It is recommended to avoid configuring Model MS30-POE-S for remote access through port forwarding or any
other means. If long distance connections are required, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) should be configured to
allow connection from inside the same network. Configuring Model MS30-POE-S or any other INTREPID™
POE Device (or INTREPID™ Series II sensors) to be accessible through remote connections in any way may
result in opening the device to outside attacks, cause the loss of private data, or cause connection issues between
devices.

3.0 Principles of Operation and Detection
3.1 Description
Model MS30-POE-S includes both transmitter and receiver in a single enclosure. The transmitter radiates
microwave energy that is reflected-back into the receiver by objects within the detection zone as shown in Figure
3.1. The observed detection zone is established by Sensitivity.
A microwave transceiver transmits microwave energy into the detection zone, and objects in the zone reflect energy
back to its’ receiver. Whenever an object is moving, the Doppler Effect shifts the frequency of its reflection, and the
transceiver generates an alarm whenever it detects a frequency shift in the reflected energy.
The size of a frequency-shifted reflection that will cause alarms is varied by the Sensitivity control causing the
detection zone for any object to vary. The detection zone for a large object such as a truck would be larger and for a
small object such as a man would be smaller.
Figure 3.1 – Operation of Model MS30-POE-S
To ensure a continuous perimeter, it is necessary to provide sufficient overlap so that the dead zone immediately
below and behind the sensor is protected.

4.0 Installation Instructions
4.1 Location of Model MS30-POE-S
4.1.1 Required Area
Model MS30-POE-S must be located in an area which is free of obstruction and moving/vibrating/shaking
objects such as chain link fences parallel/perpendicular to the detection field, metal structures, trees, bushes, tall
grass and large areas of water as shown in Figure 4.1. Large moving objects within the protection pattern will be
indistinguishable from an intruder and will cause nuisance alarms.
DO DONT
Figure 4.1 – Clear Area
Model MS30-POE-S Manual
11 Version 0
4.1.2 Terrain
The ground must be flat across the protected area. Any bumps, hills or ditches in the area will shadow the beam
and may provide crawl space for an intruder. Bumps or hills must be leveled, and ditches filled so that the area is
flat to within six (6) inches (152mm) Figure 4.2.
DO DONT
Figure 4.2 – Terrain
Provide good drainage. Large puddles may cause nuisance alarms. The protected area can be any stable, reasonably
smooth material such as concrete, asphalt, tilled earth, or gravel.
If there is grass or vegetation in the protected area it must be kept cut to a maximum of three (3) inches (76.2mm)
in height.
Snow accumulation should not exceed three (3) inches (76.2mm) in height. Model MS30-POE-S should not be
operated over open water.
Be aware that large, fixed objects reflect microwave energy and distort the detection zone as shown in Figure 4.3.

4.1.4 Best Security
Choose the location that will provide the best security yet be free from nuisance alarms. Always locate Model
MS30-POE-S inside a controlled access area to prevent unwanted nuisance alarms due to random foot traffic,
vehicles, or large animals. Typically, units should be mounted at a nominal height of 3.5 feet (1.06m) to 4.5 feet
(1.37m) or higher above ground level, and far enough inside fence to provide a clear area of protection.
When Model MS30-POE-S is used inside a fence, always orient the beam so that the detection zone does not include
the fence itself because the fence may move with high winds and cause nuisance alarms as shown in Figure 4.5.
DO DON’T
Figure 4.5 – Best Security

13 Version 0
4.2 Mounting Model MS30-POE-S
Prepare a rigid mounting surface for the Model MS30-POE-S motion sensor. Do not mount units on a cyclone
fence or any vibrating surface. A recommended mounting post is a 1.5 to 2.0 inch (38 to 50mm) galvanized pipe
(outside diameter 1.9 to 2.38 inches, 48.4 to 60.5mm), sunk into the ground in a concrete base, and protruding
above ground level to a height of 5 feet (1.52m).
Mount the transceiver at a nominal height of 3.5 (1.06m) to 4.5 feet (1.38m) above ground level (dependent on
detection requirements) and allow for height adjustment of at least plus or minus 1 foot (.31m). Height adjustment
and angle may be required during final alignment to achieve optimum detection. Other mounting heights may be
required for application reasons.
An 18-inch (457mm) ¾ inch (19mm) flex conduit is recommended between conduit fitting of transceiver and
rigid conduit as shown in Figure 4.6.
Model MS30-POE-S may also be mounted to a rigid wall or on the side of a building using the holes in the
mounting plate. It can also be mounted to Unistrut using the holes in the mounting plate. Unistrut will allow for
horizontal or vertical adjustments.

Figure 10.2 – Target Screen Adjustments
10.1 Target Vibration Suppression
The Target Vibration Suppression setting is used to suppress small moving or vibrating targets like weeds, tree
branches, and fences from causing nuisance alarms. The default setting is 2 (low suppression). It can be adjusted
from 0 (no suppression) to 18 (high suppression) as shown in Figure 10.2. Note: at high suppression settings
target detection will be affected.
10.2 Threshold Offset
The Threshold Offset setting is used to change the sensitivity of the unit. The default setting is 30dB. It can be
adjusted from 10dB (most sensitive) to 60dB least sensitive). As shown in Figure 10.2. This setting should be set
at the highest dB value to meet detection requirements of the site to minimize nuisance alarms. As the value is
changed, the red line on the Signal Amplitude chart will move up or down above the system noise floor. Note:
setting the value at 10dB will make the unit very sensitive and become prone to nuisance alarms. 15dB is usually
the lowest setting.
10.3 Detection Angle
The Detection Angle setting is used to change the angle of the detection area from 30° to 120° as shown in Figure
10.2. Default is 60°. When changed the blue area of the Target Chart will shift with the new setting. Set the angle
to meet site requirements.
Model MS30-POE-S Manual
28 Version 0
10.4 Detection Distance
The Detection Distance setting is used to change the detection distance range as shown in Figure 10.2. Default is
0.6m to 10.5m (1.97 ft. to 34.4 ft.). The 0.6m (1.97 ft.) setting acts like a null at the radome to prevent nuisance
alarms from in close targets like rain. The 10.5m (34.4 ft.) setting is the ideal setting for the range the sensor was
designed to detect. Generally, this setting should not be changed and should never be set to greater than 12m (39.4
ft.). The total adjustment range of the slider is 0m to 20m (0 ft. to 65.6 ft.). If the distance is changed, the blue
area of the Target Chart will shift with the new setting. Set the distance to meet site requirements.
10.5 Detection Speed
The Detection Speed setting is used to change the speed of target detection as shown in Figure 10.2. Default is
0.km/h to 50km/h (0mp/h. to 31mp/h).). The speed can be changed to meet site requirements. If the detection
speed is changed the Signal Amplitude chart will display gray boxes on the areas that have been changed as
shown in Figure 10.3. The Speed Mode has two (2) settings that work in conjunction with the Detection Speed.
These are Slow (50km/h) and Fast (100km/h). The default is Slow. When set to Fast the detection speed will
change to 0.km/h to 100km/h (0mp/h. to 62.1mp/h).). Set the speed to meet site requirements.
Figure 10.3 – Detection Speed Change
10.6 Distance Resolution
The Distance Resolution setting is used to change the Target Chart distances view as shown in Figure 10.2. There
are three (3) resolutions to choose from, 5m, 10m, 20m. When selected the blue area of the Target Chart will
change as shown in Figure 10.4. These settings are just for visual viewing of the range and targets on the screen
and have nothing to do with detection parameters. If set to 20m remember to adjust the setting to 12m or less.
Model MS30-POE-S Manual
29 Version 0

15.3 Certificate Management Notes
15.3.1 Server Certificate Update
Requirements for a certificate to be uploaded:
a. Maximum size must not exceed 16Kbytes.
b. Must be PEM format: the PEM format is the most common format that Certificate Authorities
issue certificates in. PEM certificates usually have extensions such as .pem, .crt, and .cer. They
are Base64 encoded ASCII files and contain "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" and "-----END
CERTIFICATE-----" statements.
c. Must contain the private key used to generate the certificate.
d. The algorithm for the private key must be either RSA or EC:
i. EC: only two elliptic curves 256-bits NIST curve (secp256r1), 384-bits NIST curve
(secp384r1) are supported based on supported elliptic curves by browsers.
1. Chrome: tls_grease_6a6a, x25519, secp256r1, secp384r1
2. FireFox: x25519, secp256r1, secp384r1, secp521r1, ffdhe2048, ffdhe3072
3. IE: secp256r1, secp384r1
ii. RSA, key size 1024, 2048, or 4096. The larger the key size, the slower the performance.
e. The private key can be unencrypted or encrypted with AES or 3DES. To successfully upload a
certificate with encrypted key, the password used for encryption must be provided for decryption.
Please see the Appendix for examples of valid certificate files.

1. Select “Restore Factory Defaults” from the Settings tab (Section 9.8).
2. Set the “Local Time” from the Settings tab (Section 9.2).
3. Set the “Node Name” from the Settings tab (Section 9.1).
4. Set a “Password” for this sensor from the “Network” tab (Section 11.7).
5. Set the network parameters from the “Network” tab to be used for this sensor (Section 11.2 to 11.9).
6. Set the “Alarm Hold” from the Settings tab for this sensor (Section 9.7).
7. Aim the sensor in the direction for detection. (Section 4.0).
8. Set the “Detection Angle and “Threshold Offset”. Walk test the unit. (Sections 10.3 and 10.4).
9. Once setup and testing are complete, select the Backup Config” from the Settings tab (Section 9.10).
10. Select the “Reports” tab (Section 12.0).
16.2 Testing
After steps 1 through 10 have been completed, the sensor is now ready for functional testing. The functional
testing is based on the user’s requirements. Typically, this would be walking, running, jumping and crawling
intrusion attempts to generate alarms. The testing person should weigh at least 77 pounds (35 kilograms). The IST
should be used to observe the testing. The Sonalert and the IST can be used while testing.
Adjust detection parameters by aiming/angling the unit and having a person walk towards the unit to set the range.
Use the IST to set the Threshold Offset until site requirements are obtained. Adjust the Threshold Offset to
optimize the sensor performance to meet detection requirements at the lowest setting possible.
Monitor the system for at least a week for nuisance and false alarm activity and make any needed adjustments.
17.0 Preventive Maintenance
Model MS30-POE-S requires no calibration other than alignment, Event Duration and sensitivity adjustment
during installation. To maintain a trouble-free system the following is recommended:
1. Clean and wax the radomes every 3 to 6 months using a Windex type cleaner and standard automotive
wax. (At maximum security installations, where detection of prone crawling targets is required, waxing
once a month is recommended).
2. Keep the isolation area clean and free of tall grass, weeds, debris, washouts, and obstructions.
3. After initial installation, save the Report from the IST for reference.
4. If standby batteries are used, they should be functionally tested every three months.
5. A site inspection should be carried out every six months. The inspection should include verifying data
from Step 3, checking for physical damage (cracks, leaks, corrosion, etc.) checking for isolation zone
changes (washouts, materials placement, vegetation growth, loose fence fabric, etc.).

18.0 Troubleshooting
Model MS30-POE-S is a sophisticated transceiver that utilizes very high impedance circuitry. Therefore, critical
circuits are factory aligned and tested, then packaged with shielded circuitry. The enclosed circuits are not field
repairable; however, adjustments (in the IST) are available externally so that performance may be measured, and
problems may be identified.
1.0 INSPECTION
Remove the radome (be sure to save the radome screws). Look for bad network connections, water ingress,
insects or blown fuses. DO NOT TOUCH THE ANTENNA.
Reviewing the technical manual making certain Model MS30-POE-S installed is set up in accordance with
Southwest Microwave Inc. instructions.
2.0 ELECTRICAL TEST
2.1 Input Power
Make sure the LEDs on the network port are illuminated.
2.2 Alignment
Make sure the unit is oriented and angled for the site-specific detection area.
2.5 Threshold Offset (Sensitivity)
Using the IST check and verify reading as discussed in Section 10.7. With no movement in the detection
pattern the Target should have little or no movement. Movement in the detection pattern (Doppler signal)
should cause an alarm to be generated whenever threshold is exceeded.
2.6 Tamper Switch
Install the radome. Be sure it is seated properly and secured tightly. Use IST software to check that
tamper switch(s) is actuated and cleared when the radome is replaced and removed.
