5.5.4.6 Detector Alignment – Optional

With this optional method, the detector uses a combined ‘movement and static’ detection

algorithm. In this case the detector is aimed slightly towards oncoming traffic and towards

the centre of the centre of the carriageway, as shown in Figure 19 below.

To use this installation method, use configuration DIP switch 6 (set to ‘1’), or using the

appropriate terminal command ‘DAA’ set to ‘1’, to activate the combined ‘movement and

static’ detection algorithm

For optimum performance, this alignment is not recommended. However, this alignment

can be used where the users would prefer to limit detection to vehicles moving towards

the detector and a drop in detection performance is acceptable. This may also be of use

on installations, for example, with very narrow lanes.

Movement Algorithm)
