Installation
Installing The S200P Sensor On A Hill (Cont)
Uphill Applications:
1.
Uphill applications can cause a loss of signal strength because the
sensor may end up higher than the antenna. This would be similar to
a normal application with the antenna mounted low to the ground. It
may be necessary to raise the antenna higher than normal to have a
good range to the uphill sensor.
2.
Installing the sensor parallel with the driveway will help eliminate the
lip but will change the orientation of the antenna pattern of the
sensor to more of an angle and may not reach as far.
3.
Because the AP100 antenna will be naturally lower in an uphill
application, be careful that an open or closed gate does not block the
line of sight. The angles become much more and line of sight can be
blocked more easily.
4.
Consider the antenna placement with the opposite sensors that may
be downhill. For example, the inside sensor may be uphill, but the
outside sensor may be downhill requiring the antenna to be placed to
have a clear line of sight to all sensors.
5.
In some rare applications, it may be necessary to add a second
antenna down the driveway to help with the signal and application.
Installing The S200P Sensor In Snow
Sensors may be installed in snow locations but the following
precautions should be taken:
1. Install the sensor flush with the road surface so shovels and snow
plows will not damage the sensor.
2. If better signal strength is needed and use of an Above Ground Cap
on top of the driveway is not possible, mount the sensor with at
cutaway around it. The cutaway should be wide enough for the
above ground cap to be recessed deep enough that a snow plow will
not hit it. Make sure to seal the cap so it does not move. Screws or
anchors are recommended for this application so future access for
service is more simple.
Installation
Above Ground Cap
The Above Ground Cap is used to help raise the S200P Sensor
antenna above the ground for better signal strength. It is
important to secure the cap and sensor in place when installation
is complete. To install the cap and sensor:
1. Remove the standard cap from the sensor.
2. Screw the Above Ground Cap securely onto the sensor making sure
the top has sealed against the O-rings.
3. Place the sensor in the hole with the alignment line on the housing
facing toward the lane of traffic.
4. Spread silicone or sealant on flat side of cap and press onto driveway.
5. Secure the housing and cap with a sealant or red heads so the sensor
and cap will not turn or move when a vehicle drives over it. The cap
must be secure enough to prevent any stress or torque on the
inground housing. Failure to properly secure the cap will result in
damage to the inground housing.
Installation Tip:
It may be easier to drill a few holes in the cap and secure it to the
driveway using red head screws. This will make it easier to
remove for service.
IMPORTANT! The Above Ground Cap must be secured
and not allowed to move. If not properly secured, it may
damage the sensor housing allowing moisture to enter
the system and damage the electronics. Water damage
to the sensor is not covered under warranty.
