SureCross™ DX80 M-GAGE™ Node with Integrated Battery Overview The M-GAGE™ sensor uses a passive sensing technology to detect large ferrous objects. The sensor measures the change in the Earth’s natural magnetic field (ambient magnetic field) caused by the introduction of a ferromagnetic object. The M-GAGE provides a direct replacement for inductive loop systems and needs no external frequency box. Its unique design allows quick installation within a core hole.

SureCross™ DX80 M-GAGE™ Node with Integrated Battery Parameters Baseline Filter (M-GAGE) Threshold and Hysteresis (M-GAGE) When the Baseline Filter, or drift filter, is on and the magnetic field readings are below a threshold setting, an algorithm is used to slowly match the device’s baseline to the current ambient magnetic field. This filtering helps to account for natural fluctuations in the magnetic field. Threshold and hysteresis work together to establish the ON and OFF points for analog inputs.

SureCross™ DX80 M-GAGE™ Node with Integrated Battery Configuration There are four ways to configure an M-GAGE™ Node: 1. M-GAGE Node DIP switches 2. M-GAGE Gateway DIP switches (see Banner document p/n 139075 for more information) 3. M-GAGE configuration using the M-GAGE Node register 13 4.

SureCross™ DX80 M-GAGE™ Node with Integrated Battery M-GAGE Gateway DIP Switches The special M-GAGE Gateway, models DX80G*M6*6P6ZP, can configure up to two M-GAGE Nodes. To use the special M-GAGE Gateway’s DIP switches to configure the M-GAGE Node, refer to the M-GAGE Gateway data sheet, Banner p/n 139075. Configuration Using Register 13 A host system can configure the M-GAGE Node by setting I/O 13 on the M-GAGE Node. Writing a defined value to the Modbus register sets the M-GAGE operation immediately.

SureCross™ DX80 M-GAGE™ Node with Integrated Battery Installation The charts within figures 2 and 3 indicate the excess gain for a typical car. Excess gain is the measure of “extra” signal detected by the sensor in excess of the level needed to detect change in the magnetic fields. Figure 3 illustrates a typical vehicle passing over a sensor mounted underground. Note that the excess gain is greatest when the front bumper is positioned such that the rear axle is directly over the M-GAGE™.

SureCross™ DX80 M-GAGE™ Node with Integrated Battery Good Placement Figure 10 shows the optimum placement of M-GAGE™ sensors for vehicle detection. When the sensor is positioned in the middle of the traffic lane, it can be configured to a threshold level to detect vehicles only in the lane of interest. This is known as lane separation, or not detecting a vehicle in an adjacent lane.

SureCross™ DX80 M-GAGE™ Node with Integrated Battery Buried Installation End cap, 4” dia PVC To protect the M-GAGE in a buried application, Banner Engineering recommends installing the device within a protective 4” dia PVC enclosure. Form the enclosure using a cleanout fitting with a thread-out plug and end cap. To create a waterproof environment for the M-GAGE Node, follow these steps: 1.

SureCross™ DX80 M-GAGE™ Node with Integrated Battery Determine the geometric center of the space the vehicle would normally occupy and mark this location as the center of the hole. Score the asphalt in a square around the center point or use an auger drill to create a hole for the PVC enclosure. Figure 7. Score the asphalt. Using a masonry or diamond blade in a circular saw, cut the marked square, leaving clean, sharp edges for patching later.
