passes the Armadillo (/- 25 feet (8m) of the Armadillo).
Most outgoing traffic will trigger a beep within 50 to 200 (15 to
60m) feet after crossing the Armadillo though large tucks may be
tracked as much as 300 (90m) feet when permitted by road
conditions.
If you do not hear a beep for each vehicle (within the stated
accuracy count of the counter), adjust the pointing angle or
mounting height to get a clearer “view” of the traffic.
The “Live Data” feature of our Android App can make the
detection verification process easier.

Connecting to the Armadillo to Retrieve Data
There are two ways to connect to retrieve data from the Armadillo:
Retrieving data using the USB interface:
1. Connect the provided cable to the weatherproof connector
on the bottom of the box and
tighten to secure
the
connection. Plug the USB connector on the other end in a
USB slot on a Microsoft Windows computer.
2. Power on the Armadillo. Windows will detect a USB to
RS232 converter and install a COM port. If your computer is
connected to the Internet it will automatically install the
drivers. Otherwise drivers are located on the provided flash
drive in the
USBdrivers
folder.
When connected to the USB port or USB charger, the stats box will
also slow charge the internal battery and supply power to the
Armadillo in the case of a depleted battery.
Retrieve data using the built in Bluetooth wireless interface:
You must have a Bluetooth adapter on your computer or an Android smartphone or tablet to
make a Bluetooth connection. On the computer, Bluetooth is indicated by the icon in the task
bar. A Bluetooth Class I USB adapter is provided.
