LRS-DB Installation

For vertical installation, drill a 7” x 1.5” hole in the

surface with a 5/16” x 2” deep

saw cut exiting the cutout for the

communications /power cable. Backer rod

should be placed 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.

When mounting above-grade, make sure that

the sensor is placed at a height to maximize the

sensitivity of the detector. This typically means

installing it at door level to prevent dropouts.

The maximum distance maintained between

the sensor and the vehicle should be less than

five feet.

The sensor should be secured to minimize any

movement that might provide false detections

or dropouts. Consideration should be made to

ensure the sensor is not mounted next to moving

metal (for example, barrier arm counterweight).

Securing the sensor may be accomplished with at least one 1” ID (internal diameter) plastic pipe/conduit strap.

If plastic straps are not available, aluminum may be used, but should be placed towards

the cable-end of the LRS-DB to avoid sensitivity related issues. The LRS-FP can be secured with cable ties and

suitable mounts.

The sensor can be installed inside of any non-ferrous architectural structures, such as fiberglass, plastic,

aluminum, etc.

Cabling should be enclosed in conduit to minimize environmental degradation.

Note: The Y axis is always the direction of the cable.
