Introduction

The  Traf-Sys/Walker  Wireless  OmniCounter
Wireless  Infrared  People  Counters  provide  a
simple and elegant, yet effective way to track foot
traffic  through  a  given  area  or  entrance.    The
counter  consists  of  two  parts,  a  transmitter  and
receiver,  and  determines  traffic  based  using
infrared beam breaks; upon beam break, the LCD
counter  will  increment  and  the  person  will  be
counted as having passed through your monitored
area/entrance.
