Introduction/Overview 

The new MIU-1500 is available with either an internal 418 Mhz receiver for smaller areas or an internal 900 
Mhz receiver which will allow for greater distances.  Additionally, the all new MIU-1500 unit also includes an 
external RS232 serial port to add an optional external receiver. 

The MIU-1500 Count Manager is designed to collect data from wireless counter sensors and display that data 
through reports that can be viewed with an ordinary Web browser application. 

The MIU-1500 gives reports of counts by half hour, hour, day, week and month.  The MIU-1500 also makes this 
same data available as text files downloadable using an FTP client program. 

The MIU-1500 can manage up to 16 sensors.  It can hold data for those 16 sensors for 3 months at 30 
minute intervals, and for 1.5 years at day intervals. 

Models 

The new MIU-1500 is designed to work in conjunction with the following Traf-Sys Wireless counters: 

Traf-Sys Directional Beam Sensors 
Traf-Sys Single Beam Sensors 
Traf-Sys Pulse Transmitters, used with Surround Sensor Sensors and Thermal Cameras 

Requirements 

•            The MIU-1500 with at least one counting sensor. 
•            A computer with an Ethernet card or network connection for TCP/IP communications. 
•            A Web browser application, such as Internet Explorer.
