The LRS-FP and DB sensors have the ability to detect in 3 dimensions (X, Y, Z axis).
In most applications, all three axes should be switched on (DIP switch 1, 2, and 3).
Note that the LRS-FP sensor allows for the best
implementation of the axis settings. The installer
knows the direction of all axes because of the
flat pack’s fixed orientation within the saw cut.
(See the axis diagram in the photo below.)
The only known axis for the LRS-DB sensor is the
Y axis, which is in the same direction as the lead.
To find the axis most affected by an unwanted
disturbance when using the LRS-DB, perform the
following procedure:
A. Calibrate the sensor with the disturbance removed.
B. Move the disturbing object into position.
C. Select each axis individually, observing the ULTRAMETER
TM
display for each.
D. Turn off the axis that causes the lowest number to appear due to the disturbance.
6. After the sensor is working correctly, cut the pavement according to the instructions starting below.
Use a hard sealant, such as epoxy, around the sensor. The sealant fill should not extend
above the roadway. Incorrect fill allows vehicle weight to press on and move the sensor in the
concrete, which will cause the sensor to go into detection. Press the RESET button on the
LRS-C1 once the sensor is in place.
7. Retest the product to ensure proper detection.
LRS-FP Installation
The flat pack requires a 2” x 3/8” x 6” cut in the pavement
for the sensor, with a 5/16” x 2” deep saw cut for the cable
lead. Backer rod should be place at a minimum of every
10-14”. Hard epoxy pavement sealant should then be
used to fill the cable and sensor cavities. Make sure
pavement sealant does not extend above roadway
surface.
TIP:
Sensor laying flat
Note: The Y axis is always the direction of the cable.
