Description
Traf-Sys Thermal People Counting sensors collect accurate foot
traffic data in entrance applications. The Thermal Sensor
detects people by monitoring body heat, and is unaffected by
lighting or other environmental conditions.
Features
- Realize the true profit potential of your operation with
accurate traffic statistics
- WIRELESSLY transmits data to the Traf-Sys MIU-1000 Data
Controller, or through a cable to the MIU-40
- Thermal Imaging Technology is proven to be the most accurate in
the world for people counting
- Sensors can be networked together for wide openings with NO
loss in accuracy
- Detection patterns can be customized to any entrance
- Microprocessor offers constant auto-adaptation to changes in
the environment
- Sensor is compact for low visual impact
- The Thermal Sensor features "Auto Alert", a self monitoring
system capable of indicating equipment problems
Application
Traf-Sys Thermal People Counting sensors are ideal for an
installation where accuracy is most important. Each sensor can be
tailored to the entrance and environment in which it is installed.
Multiple sensors can be networked together to cover wider
entrances. This enables the sensors to "talk" to each other and
make decisions on what to count when someone passes between two
sensors.
Since Traf-Sys Thermal People Counting sensors use heat to
detect people traffic, they are unaffected by ambient lighting
conditions and will work in environments where a normal video
camera may not.
Placement and Installation
Traf-Sys Thermal People Counting sensors are best installed in environments where an overhead mounting height of 11.5 feet can be accommodated. We also offer Thermal Sensors with lenses designed for higher mounting environments. The 40° Thermal Sensor can be mounted as high as 20 feet and the 20° Thermal Sensor can be mounted as high as 27 feet. The sensors can either be mounted directly to a ceiling or to a wall using a bracket.
The detection pattern for each Thermal Sensor can be modified to fit your entrance. Each Sensor has a pair of lines that, when crossed by a pedestrian, will either result as an inbound or outbound count. The lines can be moved and curved independently of each other so you can make the detection pattern fit your environment.
The Traf-Sys Wireless Transmitter and Thermal People Counting Sensor require power at the entrance. So, an AC power outlet near the entrance is required.
