Step 1: Find the best mounting location
To find the best location to install thePCN-1001, pay particular attention to the following considerations:
•
Check the installation height
Ensure that the PCN-1001 installation height is suitable for your application, also taking into consideration the
local population’s average height.
The ideal installation height is 225 cm
.
The installation height of the PCN-1001 should allow sufficient distance between the front panel and the
average users’ height.
This should be done for the following reasons:
o
If the PCN-1001 is installed too low, a high person passing under the PCN-1001 may hide another person
that is close to him.
o
If the PCN-1001 is installed too low the detection area may not cover the entire width of the door.
o
The velocity of a high person will appear to increase as its head gets closer to the cameras; this may
cause an inaccurate detection, and the person may not be counted correctly.
•
Check the distance from the gate
The distance between the PCN-1001 and the gate should be large enough to prevent the inclusion of the
upper area of the gate’s frame.
The recommended distance between the PCN-1001 and the gate is about 50 cm.
•
Check the gate width
Measure the width of the gate and evaluate:
o
how many PCN-1001 devices you need to install
o
if you need to use a Wide-gate configuration
•
Check the centrality
Verify that you can place the PCN-1001 in the middle of the gate (if you are using the Wide-gate configuration,
the group of PCN-1001 devices has to be placed in the middle of the gate; refer also to “
If not, the area in front of the gate may not be entirely seen by the cameras: if the detection area is shifted to
the right or to the left, some people may not been seen and therefore counting errors may occur
•
Check that the front panel is horizontal
Verify that you can keep the front panel of the PCN-1001 horizontal (you can adjust the angle of the front
panel respect to the frame from 0° to 45°). If the front panel is not placed horizontal, this may cause counting
errors.
•
Check the cameras coverage area
The PCN-1001 must be placed in a way that any person crossing the gate, also passes under the PCN-1001.
It is recommended to install the PCN-1001 with a maximum distance of 50 cm from the gate.
If not, the area in
front of the gate may not be entirely seen by the cameras (the detection area will be too far from the gate)
•
Check you have the required installation space
The PCN-1001 shape allows it to be mounted unobtrusively in the roof space over a gate or door.
You need to prepare a recess with the following dimensions:
o
Height:
82.0 mm
o
Width:
208.5 mm
o
Depth:
41.5 (70.0 mm with optical panel at 45°)
The frame of the PCN-1001 has four mounting holes which allow the PCN-1001 to be secured using four M5
screws
You will have to provide all necessary fixing screws or bolts. This will depend on the location, material, and
any applicable regulations. We suggest using anti-vandalism screws to increase security.
