Installation of the Counting System
Below we will describe installation of the counting system and especially the count sensor in details.
Correct installation of the sensor will improve the accuracy of the entire counting system. Examples of
further actions to improve accuracy, such as mechanical solutions, will follow.
The Count Sensor
The MZC is the heart of the counting system
-
but in order to make the counts, we need sensors. The
ultrasonic sensor SBPSUSCNT is designed for this purpose. The sensor must be installed indoors or in such a
way that the housing is not exposed to water.
Other sensor types, like for instance optical sensors or loop detectors, can be used. They just need to be
connected to a Dupline® transmitter.
In this chapter we will describe the ultrasonic sensor.
Sensor Hardware
Only the count sensor SBPSUSCNT can be used together with the MZC. Other ultrasonic sensors do not
work with the MZC system. The base holders SBPBASEA and SBPBASEB can be used with the count sensor.
