Installation Steps (Basic) Preparation for Installation When installing on a round pole Pole mounting brackets × 2 * Applicable pole diameter ø60.5mm (2.4in.) make pilot holes of ø4.3mm (0.17in.), and secure the unit using nuts. After making holes, deburr the surface to preserve the waterproof property.

[1] Loosen the screws on the top and bottom covers, and remove the covers. * Do not loosen the screws completely. The screws may fall out. If a screw is lost, use an M3 × 6 Philips screw. Top cover The rubber cap is difficult to reattach if it is detached completely.
Page 17
[3] When wiring from a pole, cut the rubber bumps with scissors by referring to the wiring holes on page 15, and put wires through the installation base. Do not use an electric screwdriver when mounting the unit to a pole. Adjust the position so that the front of the base When pilot holes of 4.3mm (0.17in.) have been made, use faces the desired angle, and mount it to the pole.

Calibration (Name at OVS-01: Calibration) This function records (memorizes) the background of the detection area when no pedestrians or vehicles are present. This process makes the sensor’s vehicle detection capability higher and provides stable detection. NOTE Performing calibration correctly temporary objects which may be moved later in the detection area. calibration again.
Detection Area Check This function allows you to virtually check the invisible detection area using indicators on the application or the operation indicator. It is possible to verify the correct angle and size of the detection area. During this process, the human cancellation function is disabled, and any moving vehicles and pedestrians are detected.

[1] Stand at the center of the vehicle space (position [1] in the figure below), and walk in the direction the vehicle will move. The position where the operation indicator changes from blinking blue to blinking red (detection status) is the edge of the detection area. (In normal operation mode, the detection occurs a little ahead of the detection area edge.

[1] Stand at the center of the vehicle lane (position [1] in the figure below) and walk in the direction of vehicle access. The position where the operation indicator changes from blinking blue to blinking red (detection status) is the edge of the detection area. (In normal operation mode, the detection occurs a little ahead of the detection area edge.
Other Functions Whether or not the operation indicator turns on can be set from the application. Set it from the “LED” item on the “Input and output” screen. Operation indicator To minimize the influence of frost and snow, the sensor unit has a built-in heater.
Advanced Installation (Applied) The following setting items should be configured if the sensor does not operate as expected during a system operation check or if an error occurs. These do not need to be set for normal installation. Change the settings as required using the application. Angle The sensor processes detection responses based on the “Angle”...
Page 34
Sensitivity Boost, Sensitivity Boost Timer The sensor may enter the non-detection status if a pedestrian or an object passes between the sensor and a vehicle, which is parked away from the detection area. Due to the sensor’s characteristics, after entering the non-detection status, the status may not change back to the detection status even though there is a vehicle parked.
Page 35
Human Cancellation The human cancellation parameter makes detection less likely when a pedestrian enters the detection area. Adjust this after adjusting the detection sensitivity and making sure that target vehicles are fully detected. The detection response time and human cancellation rate have the relation shown in the figure below.
Input and Output Settings Types and methods of outputs as well as types and movements of inputs can be selected according to the connected devices and applications. 10-1 Mode Signals can be selected according to the application of the output signals. Refer to the section below and make a selection.

10-4 Input By inputting signals from other devices, outputs linked to other devices can be made. Change contacts according to the connected devices. Connect signals lines from a startup sensor or controller to the input terminals. When operating a charging system, the sensitivity can be raised by using inputs from an external source.
Troubleshooting Symptom Cause Action Connect to a 12–24VAC/DC power supply. The supply voltage may not be correct. Connect to a 12–24VAC/DC power supply. The power supply polarity is wrong (a wrong polarity Wire positive/negative contacts of does not cause a failure but the product will not work). the sensor power source correctly.

Symptom Cause Action Detection sensitivity is too high. Reduce the detection sensitivity. At the front edge of the detection area, a vehicle in the opposite lane may be detected. The detection range is too long. Adjust the detection range so that the front A vehicle in the opposite lane is detected.
