Sensor detection conditions • Below are the conditions that vehicles must satisfy to be detected by the sensor. 3300–5000mm Vehicle length: 3300mm (130in.) or more, 1200–2100mm (130–197in.) (47–83in.) 5000mm (197in.) or less Vehicle width: 1400mm (55in.) or more, 2.5t (5512lb.) 1900mm (75in.) or less or less Vehicle height: 1200mm (47in.) or more,...
Installation steps (Basic) Preparation for installation ■ Required Tools ■ ●Small screwdriver, Phillips #1 ●Screwdriver, Phillips #2 • On a square pole or a wall, drill holes to install the unit as shown below. If tapped holes cannot be made, make pilot holes of ø4.3mm (0.17in.), and secure the unit using nuts.
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.

[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). Log in to the sensor with smartphone App [7] Verify the detection area according to “6-1.Applicatiions”...
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.
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.

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 App. Main sensitivity 8-3-1 This parameter adjusts the sensitivity of detection when a vehicle enters the detection area.
Close range sensitivity 8-3-3 This parameter adjusts the sesitivity of close range 100-500mm (4-20 in.) from sensor when a vehicle enters the detection area. The vehicle detection capability (close range) and the false detection avoidance capability have the relationship shown in the figure below. Close range sensitivity 1...
Sensitivity boost, Sensitivity boost timer 8-3-6 This can be used to avoid contact between vehicles that move backwards soon after passing under a barrier and the descending barrier arm. By enabling this function, sensitivity is increased for a set time period to detect backward-rolling vehicles more easily.
Relay response time 8-3-7 This parameter adjusts the recognition time of the sensor. The respose time and the false detection avoidance capability have the relation shown in the figure below. Also it effects for human cancellation capability. +100ms +200ms +300ms Relay response time False detection HIGH...

Mode 8-4-3 Signals can be selected according to the application of the output signals. Refer to the section below and make a selection. Detailed settings can not be made for modes othe than “Detection” . Detection : A normal detection. (The output state reflects the setting of Output delay, Hold timer and others.) Pre-detection : Outputs a pre-detection and a normal detection both.
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.
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. Application : Link (OR gate, AND gate) When operating a charging system, the reliability can be increased by using inputs from an external device.
