Quick Setup Guide for the Traffic Counter Tester II
1.
Attach the air tubes to the air switch ports on the Traffic Counter Tester
II (TCTII) and plug the power supply connector into it.
Note:
Only use the
power supply provided with the TCTII. Substitutes may cause damage.
2.
Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet (110V@60Hz) and turn
on the TCTII by sliding the power switch to the ON position.
Caution
: Be
sure to connect to the TCTII before plugging into the outlet.
3.
At this point, the unit should be on, and the LCD should display the
following:
4.
Press TAB until
SET SPEED
is displayed at the top left corner of the
display (this should take 4 presses). The TCTII is now in SET SPEED
mode. This mode sets the vehicle speed for modes A,B; A to B, B toA; and
Classify. Pressing DO in this mode will increase the speed by 5 MPH. The
speed can be set from 5 to 80 MPH. Speeds in the range of 35 MPH to 55
MPH are recommended.
5.
Press TAB until
SET TUBE
is displayed. This mode sets the distance
between the road tubes. Pressing DO in this mode will cycle the road tube
distance through the following options: 4 inches, 2 ft., 4 ft., 8 ft. and 16 ft.
If
USER
is displayed as the tube spacing, then the tube spacing has been
overridden by software, as is discussed in chapter 4. Set the tube spacing
in the TCTII to match the tube spacing in the counter you are testing. This
may require that the spacing in the counter be adjusted.
6.
Press TAB again, and
SET TIME
will be displayed. This mode sets
the length of time that a test will run. The options are 15 min., 30 min., 45
min., 1 hr., 2 hr., 5 hr., 24 hr., and “—-“. When a test is started, it will run
for the length of time specified and then stop. If “—-“ is selected, the test
will run indefinitely, and must be stopped by pressing DO.
