Page 12: Installation
TrafiCam with TI (9 wires) 3. Installation Do not remove the lens cover until TrafiCam is installed. Ensure that the system power is off before starting the installation. Step I: Mount the TrafiCam sensor on a stable pole. • Fix the mounting tube to the brackets (Torque max = 1,3 Nm). -
Page 13: Step Ii: Connect The Traficam Sensor To The Interface
TrafiCam with TI (9 wires) Step II: Connect the TrafiCam sensor to the interface. Use a shielded twisted pair cable, UV-resistant, 10 wires+shield. At the TrafiCam side: • Open the sensor. • Loosen the cable gland. • Insert the cable into TrafiCam through the gland. -
Page 14: Step Iii: Mount The Interface By Clicking It On The Din Rail
Use the RS-232 to RS-485 converter cable and the DB9 serial cable. Finally connect the power supply and remove the TrafiCam lens cover. You optimise the position of TrafiCam via visual verification (TrafiCam PC Tool, see next). Always verify that there is no horizon in the image! -

Page 18: Set Up The Traficam Sensor
A zone is displayed according to its detection mode. Zone displayed according to its detection mode: presence (left), stop (middle) and loop (right) The factory default setup of the TrafiCam sensor is displayed when you first open TrafiCam PC Tool. This default configuration has one presence detection zone. -
Page 19: Edit The Default Presence Detection Zone
If you wish to delete the zone direction: double-click the direction point. TrafiCam PC Tool assigns an output to the zone automatically. The number in the zone refers to the assigned output. To change the assigned output: right-click the zone and select an output from the drop-down menu. -
Page 20: Activate The Setup Of Traficam
TrafiCam starts a learning cycle. The learning cycle takes a few minutes. During the learning cycle all presence detection zones are active and the outputs change their status accordingly. When you View the detection a message will indicate that TrafiCam is learning. After the learning cycle the system becomes operational. - Page 21 TrafiCam with TI (9 wires) Guidelines to edit the zones ALWAYS VERIFY THAT THERE IS NO HORIZON IN THE IMAGE! SIZE AND POSITION OF THE ZONE The zone should have the length and the width of a regular vehicle. For detection at the stop bar place the zone as such that the vehicle will stop in the middle of the zone.

Page 23: The Filtering Functions
Camera movement suppression This function avoids unwanted detection in a situation where TrafiCam is moving (mounted on a pole that may be swinging because of the wind). You set the level of suppression. A high level may reduce the detection sensitivity. - Page 24 TrafiCam with TI (9 wires) Default: 240 s Selection: 10-600 s Detection LED You can stop the indicator function of the detection LED.

9. Other functions View the detection TrafiCam PC Tool allows to view live detection on the whole video image or on a single presence detection zone. Traficon recommends to use this function only for diagnostic purposes; viewing live detection may reduce the performance of the TrafiCam sensor. -
Page 26: Set The Vehicle Counting Function
• Click OK. Set the vehicle counting function TrafiCam provides a vehicle counting function based on pulses which are sent to the controller. The number of pulses corresponds with the number of vehicles, the length of the pulse indicates the zone occupancy. -
