The sensors should be mounted 3-4 feet off the ground to count
all
traffic, or 4-5
feet off the ground to count only
adult
traffic.
The mounting surface should be sturdy in order to prevent misalignment from
bumping into either the sensor or mounting bracket.
The image on the right provides examples of both correct and incorrect mounting for
either Side-Firing or Front-Firing configurations.
Door handling (door swing) must be taken into consideration before mounting the
sensors (especially true for Side-Firing mode, where sensors are typically
mounted on the doorframe). Ensure that the door does not break the beam when
it opens/closes.
Back-Plate Configuration
1. Mount the sensor back-plates to the desired surface (
before
attaching the sensor units).
If the LCD Display is to be used, the orientation of the back-plate is critical
Determine if the sensors will be used in Front- or Side-Firing mode, and if the RX
unit is to be mounted on the left or right.
