PT-210 Processor/Transmitter
Telonics designed the PT-210 for quick deployment in tactical or covert operations. The PT-210 includes all of the sophisticated processing capabilities of the larger PT-100, yet is so small that it is easy to transport and conceal. The case of the PT-210 is high-impact resistant aluminum and is waterproof. The entire unit weighs only 3.3 lbs (1.5 kg), or 4.2 lbs (1.9 kg) with batteries.
The PT-210 is microprocessor-controlled and allows the user to select a variety of parameters via a handheld programmer in the field or an IBM compatible computer in the lab. A single PT-210 can receive, process, and transmit information generated by seismic, infrared and magnetic detectors either individually or in various combinations. Furthermore, a user can program units to transmit in either digital or voice format, yielding maximum flexibility. The PT-210 seismic circuitry can discriminate between vehicles and pedestrians and send separate identifying messages. The onboard EIDS animal filter further determines whether a two- or four-legged animal triggered the system. Users can also take advantage of an additional sensor that provides a switch closure upon detection (i.e. breakwire, active infrared, or pressure mat). The PT-210 can even trigger an external camera upon detection. By connecting a remote antenna to the PT-210, users can extend the transmission range. The integral battery pack facilitates battery changes in the field. Under normal conditions, the PT-210 will operate for three to four months without a battery change. The standard power supply (sold separately) is eight Duracell MN1604 batteries (standard alkaline 9V transistor batteries), with other battery options available upon request. Customers can also use solar-powered or commercial power sources, if desired.
Telonics can sell this product only to law enforcement, military, and government agencies; these products are for use only within such agencies.
Key Features

- Ability to detect an object's direction of travel
- Mid-term deployment yields up to 200 days of continuous operation
- Pedestrian, animal and vehicle discrimination
- Ability to use two sensors to discriminate the circumstances of the detection
- External trigger for activating a camera or other device
- Low battery/daily status transmission to alert operator of a low battery condition
- Users can program PT-210 units to operate continuously or only on specific days of the week during specific hours of the day
- Both voice and digital transmission formats are programmable
- Additional sensor input supports breakwire, active infrared or pressure mat
- Compact and easily concealed
