EMX CarSense 303 Instruction Manual

Instruction Manual
The CarSense303 features advanced 3-axis, magnetoresistive sensing technology. The small size of the
CS303 allows for easy installation in pavement with a single saw cut. It provides cost savings on labor and
materials when compared to the multiple cuts and corner reliefs required for the installation of inductive
loops. The sensor measures the Earth's magnetic field and responds to disturbances caused by ferrous
objects. Three sensing elements provide magnetic field measurement in the X, Y and Z axis, improving
detection sensitivity. The CS303 flat pack (FP) and direct burial (DB) sensors are also suitable for
above ground installations, making them ideal for use in confined areas or hidden in non-ferrous
architectural components for security purposes. The CS303's exciting new technology provides a
high-sensitivity, compact and cost-effective solution for reliable vehicle detection.
NOTE: When power is applied to the CS303-C-1 controller and a CS303-FP or DB sensor is connected,
the settings on the controller will be sent to the sensor. The sensor stores these settings even when
disconnected from the CS303-C-1. However, the controller is required to program and recalibrate
the sensor.
