  • Page 13: Calibration

    Calibration ●Calibration function This function records (memorizes) the background of the detection area without any pedestrians or vehicle present. This process makes the sensor detection capability higher and provides stable detection. If any noticeable changes occur around the detection area (such as construction of a wall or fence), you must perform the calibration again.

  • Page 14: Detection Area Check

    Detection Area Check ● Detection Area Check Function This function allows you to visually check the detection area of the microwave and ultrasonic signal using the operation indicator. It is possible to verify the correct angle and size of the detection area. *This detection area check must be performed after calibration.
  • Page 15 [3] Stand at the edge of the vehicle lane (see Figure [B]), walk along the border and verify that the operation indicator keeps blinking green (not detecting). If the operation indicator changes to yellow or red, adjust the sensor angle and/or range setting again. After the adjustment, perform calibration again and start from [2].
