Installation
Before going to the site to install the Traffic Engineering II Radar, check
that you have the following items from the installation kit:
You will also need a standard flat-head screwdriver or 5/16 inch nut driver
(not included with kit) to tighten the mounting clamp.
Check that your laptop is fully charged, has the latest version of the
STARnext software installed, and that the date and time on the laptop are
correct. You will synchronize the Traffic Engineering II Radar's time and
date to that of the laptop during setup.
Selecting a Site
When choosing a location to install the Traffic Engineering II Radar, keep
in mind that it will need to be mounted to a pole (typically a utility pole) or
tree, so the site will need to have one of these available for use.
For the best results, the Traffic Engineering II Radar should be installed:
• At a 45 degree angle to the flow of traffic.
• Six to ten feet back from the road.
• At least six feet above the ground.
• Where the far side lane is no greater than 50 feet away.
• Where traffic is free flowing.
The unit should not be installed:
• At an intersection.
• Near where vehicles are likely to park.
• In a position that causes the radar head to be at an extreme angle.
• Near where pedestrians are likely to be crossing.
• Where the Radar's "view" is obstructed.
