Chapter 2: Pre-Installation Considerations General The following information on power, cabling, communications and placement should be taken into consideration prior to installing the RTMS Echo. Safety Information Please review the following information before installation. • • • • Read all instructions before using. • Use the RTMS Echo only for its intended purposes as described in this manual.
Chapter 2: Pre-Installation Considerations On power up, there will be an inrush current that will be several times higher than the operating current. The power supply must be able to handle this temporary current flow. If the power supply is unregulated (such as a simple step-down supply from 120 VAC to 24 volts DC), the output voltage may be higher than specified when the current draw is less than maximum available from the supply.
Chapter 2: Pre-Installation Considerations terminated with an RJ-45 connector, the connector must have an element to which the ground wire can be connected (see examples below). Figure 2-2: Example RJ-45 External Ground Connectors Breakout Boxes The design of an RTMS Echo installation should include a breakout box close to the RTMS Echo that can be used for setup and maintenance purposes, and can include surge suppression circuitry and external communications devices as required.
Chapter 2: Pre-Installation Considerations Surge Suppression/Filtering Surge Suppression: The CITEL MJ8-POE-B has been tested and is the recommended transient suppressor for RTMS Echo sensors. Filtering: The COSEL SNR-10-23-DT line noise filter has been tested and is the recommended filter for RTMS Echo sensors. Figure 2-4: Citel Surge Suppressor • • • • • • • • • • Power over Ethernet surge protector RJ-45 connection for PoE-A or B 10/100/1000 Mbps compatible Max DC power: – 7.
Chapter 2: Pre-Installation Considerations Connecting Power and Communications After the RTMS Echo has been mounted to the pole the connections for power and data communications must be made. For cable pinouts see “Cabling Considerations” on page 2-2. A 50 ft (15.24m) Cat 5e cable containing wires for both power and communications is included with the RTMS Echo sensor. It is strongly recommended that surge suppression be provided for both power and communications.
Chapter 2: Pre-Installation Considerations Figure 2-6: Single Surge Suppressor RTMS Echo User Guide ©2019 Image Sensing Systems Inc.
Chapter 2: Pre-Installation Considerations Providing a Proper Ground Providing a low resistance earth ground connection is essential to achieving effective surge protection. Total resistance from the protected circuit to the earth should be <5 ohms. A grounding rod (see Figure 2-7) should be at least 1.83 m (6 ft) in length and placed as close as possible to the base of the RTMS Echo mounting pole. The grounding conductor should be flexible copper braid or copper wire 12AWG or larger.
Chapter 2: Pre-Installation Considerations Surge induced into lines Lightning discharge Mounting pole, sensor and breakout box Power and comm lines Earth grounding rod Figure 2-8: Surge Channeled into Earth Ground Thunderstorm lightning is in its own class of destructive forces to sensors. Typically, it can generate 30 to 300 kA of current, far beyond the capabilities of any surge protecting devices.
Chapter 2: Pre-Installation Considerations Placement in Side-Fired Highway Configuration RTMS Echo is designed to mount on existing poles and road structures. Figure 2-9 shows typical cases of RTMS Echo side-fired/highway sites. The design considerations for each case are: RTMS Echo User Guide • Case 1 — Maximal utilization of the RTMS Echo zone capability.

Chapter 2: Pre-Installation Considerations Height, Setback, Tilt Requirements The RTMS Echo has a detection area of 250 ft (76 m), and is able to detect up to 12 lanes of traffic within that distance. ISS recommends mounting the Echo sensor between 15 and 35 ft (4.6 and 10.7 m) from the ground. The height is based on the distances from the closest and furthest zones. The mounting height and zone distances determine the angle (tilt) at which the sensor should be set. If the closest zone is 6 ft (1.
Chapter 2: Pre-Installation Considerations Guardrails and Barriers In almost all cases, median guard-rails or barriers do not interfere with traffic detection. In the few cases in which such interference may occur, e.g., large metal barrier, very tall barriers or movable metal fences, a good solution is to use a second sensor on the other side of the road. Each of the sensors can monitor lanes on its side of the barrier, requiring a smaller setback to cover fewer lanes, as shown below.
Chapter 2: Pre-Installation Considerations Elevated Roadway On elevated or sunken roadways with insufficient outside shoulders, it may be an impossible job for a single sensor. Two RTMS Echo units, configured as shown by Figure 2-12, will cover all lanes if detection zones are defined as shown in Figure 2-12. Figure 2-12: RTMS Echo on Elevated Roadway RTMS Echo can also monitor elevated highways from tall poles erected on the lower level.
Chapter 2: Pre-Installation Considerations Installing RTMS Echo on Sign Structures The installation of the RTMS Echo on Message Sign structures is acceptable only if the RTMS Echo is mounted to be offset from the overhead span of the structure. Structures can reflect the microwave signal and distort the accuracy of detection.
Chapter 2: Pre-Installation Considerations Grade Differentials When grade differences are small, a single unit on the high side may work, provided all lanes are within range. Figure 2-15: Small Grade Differentials When the grade differential is large enough to put a part of the lower level in a “shadow”, two RTMS Echo units are required as shown by the following.
Chapter 3: Sensor Installation & Setup General This chapter describes the procedure for installing and setting up the RTMS Echo sensor. Safety Information Please review the following information before installation. RTMS Echo User Guide • • • • Read all instructions before using. • Use the RTMS Echo only for its intended purposes as described in this manual.

Tighten the nuts securing the sensor to the mounting bracket. 6. Detect and adjust zones.
Chapter 3: Sensor Installation & Setup Detect and Adjust Zones The automated zone setup process requires free flowing traffic in all lanes of interest. It scans the range of the RTMS Echo beam and positions up to 12 detection zones, representing lanes where vehicles are detected. IMPORTANT: If the auto detect function is run after a zones configuration has already been established (auto detect was run once before), a new set of internal zone identifiers is established.
Chapter 3: Sensor Installation & Setup There will be about 1 minute of prep time before detection begins. As objects are detected the detection heat map appears in the radar beam image. Zones will appear when the system has determined that the detected objects are vehicles instead of stationary objects (i.e., barriers, etc.). The full process takes approximately 7 minutes; however, if all zones in the detection area appear, you can click All zones found to stop the process. 3. Click on the first zone. 4.

Only appears when Vehicle Counts is the selected operation. 10 Vehicle count provided by the user. Only appears when Vehicle Counts is the selected operation.
Chapter 4: Operations and Adjustments Optimizing Volume Count Accuracy The most common reasons for vehicle count discrepancies are: • Zone boundaries overlap or are too close – When this occurs, vehicles in one zone are shown as being detected in an adjacent zone. This is referred to as “splashing.” In this case, changing the zone by increasing or decreasing the boundary can eliminate splashing. • Improper sensor aiming – When this occurs vehicle counts are below what is expected.
Chapter 4: Condition B: Under Count in Near Zone Operations and Adjustments In the situation shown in Figure 4-4, the count for zone 1 is well below what is expected; vehicles are being missed. Figure 4-4: Under Count: Near Zone The above is probably due to aiming issues. The sensor may be missing small profile vehicles. Check the aiming of the RTMS Echo and make sure it is aimed down enough to view the first zone of traffic (zone 1). RTMS Echo User Guide ©2019 Image Sensing Systems Inc.
Chapter 4: Condition C: Under Count in Far Zone Operations and Adjustments In the situation shown in Figure 4-5, the count for zone 6 is well below what is expected; vehicles are being missed. Figure 4-5: Under Count: Far Zone The above is probably due to aiming issues. The sensor may be missing small profile vehicles. Check the aiming of the RTMS Echo and make sure it is aimed up enough to view the last zone of traffic (zone 6). RTMS Echo User Guide ©2019 Image Sensing Systems Inc.
Chapter 4: Condition D: Under Count in Several Zones Operations and Adjustments In the situation shown in Figure 4-6, the count for many zones is below what is expected; vehicles are being missed. Figure 4-6: Under Count: Many Zones In the above situation the signal strength reflection may be too low. This could be caused by the aiming angle is not perpendicular to the traffic. RTMS Echo User Guide ©2019 Image Sensing Systems Inc.
Chapter 4: Condition E: Over Count in Several Zones Operations and Adjustments In the situation shown in Figure 4-7, the count for many zones is above what is expected. Figure 4-7: Over Count: Many Zones In the above situation the signal strength reflection may be too high, causing “splashing” into adjacent lanes. RTMS Echo User Guide ©2019 Image Sensing Systems Inc.
Chapter 4: Condition F: Under Count in First Zone Past a Barrier Operations and Adjustments In the situation shown in Figure 4-8, the count for zone 4 is lower than what is expected. Figure 4-8: Under Count: First Zone Past Barrier The above could indicate there is some kind of barrier between zones 3 and 4. The signal from the barrier is imposing on zone 4, causing smaller vehicles to be missed. Moving the zone boundary away from the barrier should help resolve this situation.
