Installation [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. The rubber lid is difficult Top cover to reattach if it is detached completely. - Page 16 [3] When running a wire from a pole, cut the terminal cover with nippers by referring to the wiring holes on page 14, and put wires through the sensor housing. Do not use a powered screwdriver when mounting the unit to a pole. ●...
- Page 17 [5] Install the sensor unit into the sensor housing. At this point, push excess wire out on the pole side. [6] Rotate the sensor unit to adjust its angle to meet the sensor installation condition (adjustable angle: 96° to left and right).

Page 18: Calibration
Calibration Calibration function This function memorizes the background of the detection area when no pedestrians or vehicles are present. This function ensures the stability of vehicle detection by recording the environment. Perform calibration after every sensor installation. This process makes the sensors performance higher and more stable. How to perform calibration [1] Verify that there are no vehicles, pedestrians, work tools, or any other temporary objects which may be removed in the detection area. -
Page 19: Detection Area Check
Detection area check Detection area check This function allows you to virtually check the invisible detection area using indicators on the App 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 objects can be detected. - Page 20 [1] Check inside the detection area 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 green to blinking red (detection status) is the edge of the detection area. (In normal operation mode, the detection area may be a little bit longer.

Page 32: Delay / Hold Timer
Delay / Hold Timer 8-4-5 Delay / Hold timer is the time between the sensor status change and the relay output change. Setting the timer shorter makes the response time faster. Note that detection also needs a response time, which is the time for the sensor to recognize an object and make the detection, separately from the timer time. -
Page 33: Input
Input 8-4-6 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.
