Vetronics (Vehicle Electronics)

Four products: the SENTRA KBM camera power distribution module, the SENTRA-16 seat and seat-belt monitoring system, the TDG-VMS-111 video management system and the TDG-DSP-101 rugged display. SENTRA KBM and TDG-VMS-111 take 28 VDC vehicle power to MIL-STD-1275E; SENTRA-16 and TDG-VMS-111 exchange data with the vehicle over CAN-Bus.

The two products do different jobs and can be used together on the same vehicle. The SENTRA KBM Camera Power Distribution Module supplies the vehicle's cameras, operator display, mission computer and seat module from a single unit; choose it when power distribution and the collection of video lines are the task. The SENTRA-16 Seat & Seat-Belt Monitoring System monitors the occupancy of 16 seats and the fastened / unfastened status of 16 seat belts and passes the data to the mission computer over CAN-Bus. The cameras themselves are in the Vehicle Camera Systems category.

The input is a 28 VDC military vehicle electrical system to MIL-STD-1275E, with reverse polarity protection and galvanic isolation. On the output side there are at least 11 isolated 12 VDC camera outputs, a 24 VDC ±0.2 V mission computer output (min. 200 W), an isolated 24 VDC display output (min. 25 W) and a separate seat module output. All connections use MIL-DTL-38999 connectors; a single 5-pin connector per camera carries video, audio and IR control lines together with the supply, and the video lines are collected on one harness (min. 12 × 75 Ω).

The unit reads its sensors over 32 channels (16 seats + 16 belts) and sends the data to the vehicle mission computer, and if required to the safety and warning systems, over CAN-Bus (ISO 11898, 500 kbps). It runs from 18–32 VDC (24 VDC nominal) and draws less than 15 W; the physical connection is a MIL-DTL-38999 connector, and the flanged base bolts to the vehicle chassis. If the vehicle has no display, SENTRA-16 can be supplied as a single package with an optional TEDEG military monitor.

The SENTRA KBM datasheet specifies −32 °C … +55 °C operation, a ≥ IP55 aluminium enclosure and humidity, altitude (≥ 2,500 m), rain, sand-dust, salt fog, solar radiation, vibration and 20 g / 11 ms shock to MIL-STD-810G CHG-1 methods; for EMI/EMC it lists MIL-STD-461G CE102, CS101/114/115/116, RE102 and RS103. SENTRA-16 is designed for an IP65 enclosure, −32 °C … +55 °C operation and −40 °C … +70 °C storage. If your programme requires qualification, we agree the test plan and your report requirements with you at the quotation stage.

Yes. SENTRA KBM is a COTS product, but configuration, pin assignments and harness interfaces are finalised for your platform through a pre-order ICD (Interface Control Document), and you can request a 3D CAD / STEP file for integration work. SENTRA-16's modular architecture adapts to different vehicle platforms, and the product can be supplied together with a TEDEG military monitor for visual monitoring.

Turkish and English datasheets for both products are on the product pages. For a quotation, send the platform type, the number and positions of cameras, the power needs of the display and mission computer, the number of seats to be monitored and the vehicle data bus (CAN-Bus) details through the quote form; the ICD and harness details are completed together before the order.
