Determine where the BA-220 DualBeam will be
installed:
In this side view, the important dimension is the height of the reader
above the pavement. The general rule of thumb is for the
bottom
of
the reader to be 40” above the pavement where the vehicle tires are
located.
BAI offers a standard mounting post that is 34” high. It is intended to
be used on a 6” curb or concrete mounting pad for a total height of
40”. To fabricate a mounting post refer to the appendix for drawings.
The reader should be mounted close to the edge of the road or drive
without being in danger of collision with a vehicle. It has a 6 foot
reading distance which will extend out across the road or drive. Traffic
should not pass by
closer
than 2 feet from the reader. Protective
bollards or barriers around the BA-220 DualBeam is recommended.
Bottom of reader
should be about 40”
above the
pavement
