All detection field dimensions were measured in optimal conditions and with field size value 9.

3 DETECTION FILTER (REJECTION MODE)

Choose the right detection filter for your application with the remote control or the push buttons:

Detection of all targets Detection only of vehicles moving towards the sensor*
(pedestrians and parallel traffic are detected) (pedestrians and parallel traffic are not detected + disturbances are filtered)

Value recommendations according to angle and height:

1-6 1 = no specific filter

 ACCESS CODE
The access code (1 to 4 digits) is recommended to set sensors installed close to each other.

SAVING AN ACCESS CODE:

DELETING AN ACCESS CODE:

Once you have saved an access code, you always need to enter this code to unlock the sensor.
If you do not know the access code, cut and restore the power supply. During 1 minute, you can access the sensor
without introducing any access code.
