RTMS User Manual for Model K4 Draft 1 Page ii EIS Electronic Integrated Systems Inc. Page iii Draft 1 RTMS User Manual for Model K4 Brief Description The RTMS (Remote Traffic Microwave Sensor) measures the distance to objects in the path of its microwave beam. This ranging capability allows it to detect moving and stationary vehicles in multiple detection zones. The sensor can be mounted on road-side poles and aimed at a right angle to the road; refered to as the side-fired configuration. A single sensor can monitor traffic in up to 8 lanes. Sensors may also be mounted on overhead structures to monitor traffic in a single lane; the forward-looking configuration. The internal processor calculates volume, occupancy and average speed as well as vehicle class by length in each lane and transmits the information using its data port. Optional contact closure outputs are also available for for compatibility with loop based systems. For optimal accuracy, EIS strongly recommends installation of all RTMS and RTMS related products by personnel trained by EIS. EIS also strongly recommends surveying of installation sites for all RTMS and RTMS related products by personnel trained by EIS.

The maximum standby period during, which RTMS draws negligible power, is 254 minutes i.e. 4 hours, 14 minutes. Low Voltage Disconnect Option Protects the battery against damaging deep discharge if the voltage falls below 11.5 V. Recommended in applications where the battery charging equipment does not offer such protection. Factory options are indicated by labels on the bottom of the unit. EIS Electronic Integrated Systems Inc. Page 2 Draft 1 RTMS INSTALLATION SIDE FIRED CONFIGURATION RTMS User Manual for Model K4 3 Mounting and Aiming The distance between the close edge of the first lane of traffic to be monitored and the front of the structure on which the RTMS is mounted is referred to as set-back; it is the most important parameter in the setup and installation of an RTMS. Generally the more set-back that can be obtained, the easier the calibration will be. Use the diagram in Figure 2 to determine the setback required to monitor a given number of lanes. Once the set-back is set, the associated height can be determined. Height is with reference to the road surface of the detection area; not the bottom of the mounting pole. Example:
For 5 lanes the minimum set-back should be 12 feet [3.7m]. A set-back of 12 feet [3.7m], requires a height of 17 feet [5.2m]. Note: It is better to be 20 feet [6 m] further back from the minimum than 2 inches [5 cm]
closer than the minimum. If ground conditions allow, move the RTMS further back. The mounting height is based on the setback. Height is selected to allow the RTMS to be aimed so that it gets maximum return signal while covering all required lanes. Mounting an RTMS at a height different from the recommended height will not improve accuracy. Equivalent lanes include median strips, as an example, an eight lane road with a two lane wide median strip has 10 equivalent lanes. Boresight line Figure 1 RTMS Aiming Attach the RTMS to the roadside pole using bolts or stainless steel banding. Aim the RTMS as indicated on the diagram above. A 7/16 wrench is required to release/tighten the ball-joint bolt.
- Secure the RTMS to the mounting bracket by inserting the lynch pin
- Adjust the RTMS to be perpendicular to the travel lanes.
- Look from behind the unit and use the top aiming fin to tilt so that the top of the RTMS is aimed to the first 1/3 of the monitored lanes.
- Keep the RTMS level, side to side.
- Lock the aim by tightening the ball-joint bolt. EIS Electronic Integrated Systems Inc. RTMS User Manual for Model K4 Setback/Height diagrams Draft 1 Page 3 Figure 2 - Set-back Distance Chart Equivalent lane calculation is measured from edge of first lane of detection to outside edge of the last lane of detection and dividing this number by the average lane width. 12 feet is considered typical lane width. Example: total detection area = 120 feet; lane = 12 feet; 120/12 = 10 equivalent lanes If more room is available increase the setback as much as possible; then obtain the proper mounting height based upon actual set-back distance. Figure 3 Mounting Height Chart EIS Electronic Integrated Systems Inc. Page 4 Draft 1 CABLING RTMS User Manual for Model K4 4 Surge suppression Although the RTMS has built-in surge suppression, it is strongly recommended that external surge suppression be installed with every detector. In situations where long cable runs are utilized, the communication and power lines of the RTMS should be equipped with external surge protecting devices on the same pole as the detector. The suppression devices should be located close to the sensor; e.g. in a cabling cabinets mounted on the pole below the RTMS. See Appendix 1 for further details on installing surge suppression. The RTMS Cable RTMS units use a single 32-pin MS connector for power and communications. The RTMS ships with all required connectors, crimp pins and back-shells. The RTMS cable should be made from 20 or 22 gauge stranded wire arranged in pairs. Cables that will be exposed to outdoor conditions should be UV shielded. The number of pairs required depends on the communication options chosen:
Table 1 Cable pairs required Communication Options
# of Pairs Standard RS232 or RS485 plus power Standard RS232 plus power and Internal RF modem option TCP/IP and RS232 or RS485, plus Zone contact option can be added to any of the above A cable such as the Belden number 95xx (xx indicates number of pairs, i.e. 9516 is a 6-pair cable) or similar should be used. In preparing a cable note the following:
1 per zone (max 8) power 4 4 6 The crimp pins are designed for stranded wire. Do not use cable employing solid wires EIS suggests the Daniels Manufacturing Corporation crimping tool M22520/1-01 AF8 with head
. no. M22520/1-02 or equivalent. Do not solder crimp pins!
Thread cable through the backshell before inserting pins into shell. Use the insertion tool (red) to insert wires with crimped pin into shell. Use the extraction tool (white) to remove a crimped wire to correct an error. It is recommended to use a cable with at least one spare pairs of wires for future growth. Consideration needs to be made with regards to placement of an access point within view of the monitored lanes, as an example, an access panel or cabinet on the pole. This allows verification of the sensors calibration to be easily be done by seeing the RTMS data together with the actual roadway data. EIS Electronic Integrated Systems Inc.

1. The DB9 connectors and terminal blocks serve as a demarcation point, which allows unplugging the RTMS from the transmission line for direct connection to the laptops COM port for setup. 2. Terminating resistors (100-120 ohms) are required at the extreme ends of the Receive and Transmit transmission pairs. 3. Transmit and receive pairs must be transposed when connecting to a DTE (PC, Data processing System). To interface with a PC a RS-485/232 converter may be required as PCs typically do not have RS-485 interfaces 4. RS-485/232 converter connector type and pin assignment are not shown as these are not standardized and vary between models. EIS Electronic Integrated Systems Inc.

Manual Zone Setup Set the number of zones to 8 and position all zones in sequence with the first zone at approximately 8 meters from the sensor (farther if the sensor is higher than 5M). Observe approaching (or receding) vehicles in the lane as "waves" of blips and adjust the tilt and sway angles so that blip waves from small vehicles go through at least 5 of the 8 zones and so that vehicles in adjacent lanes do not show blips in the zones. Detection of vehicles from an adjacent lane indicates that the sensor is angled in that direction or aimed too high. Set Fine Tune control to +5. Observe approximately 50 vehicles. Find three consecutive zones, for which vehicle counts are in close agreement with each other. The location of these three zones will form the speed-trap. Note their position on the ra bers 1, 2 and 3 over these three consecutive zone positions, then reduce the total number of zones to 3. nge scale and using ZONES, move zones num Only Zone #1 is used for volume and occupancy data.

Improper fine tune setting for the road geometry (lane width, barriers, etc.) will result in splashing and, therefore, over-counting. In some cases, attempts to cover too many traffic lanes with a single RTMS may result in inability to find a correct fine tune setting and compromised performance.
