• Reduces construction costs (no special poles/bucket trucks required) Through its user interface, the INTERSECTOR allows users to visually track vehicles as they approach the intersection and allows easy setup of detection zones to provide programmable inputs to a traffic control cabinet. The interface also provides the ability to verify that the system is functioning properly, or to troubleshoot the system, using a SIMULATION MODE.
Modular Plug Termination Tool (Crimp Tool) The INTERSECTOR is designed to be mounted at a height of 14 to 20 feet on a corner signal pole or on a mast arm no further than 10 feet from the signal pole. Maximum offset angle from traffic direction should be ±15 degrees.

Microwave Motion and INTERSECTOR Presence Sensor Installation Instructions CHANGING THE INTERSECTOR IP ADDRESS (cont.) To verify the software version of the TCIB: • Connect the laptop to TCIB RS232 port. This can be accomplished by using a USB to RS232 adaptor. Using the communications program Hyperterminal, which is supplied with Windows up to version XP, you can connect to the TCIB.
Page 25
Once you have opened Hyperterminal you must configure it for use with the TCIB or INTERSECTOR. You can either create a new connection when prompted, or you can select “File” then “Properties”. Select the COM port the RS232 is connected to on your laptop and select “Configure”.
