Installation
height
and

affect

area.
Use
an

tool

to
see
how
these
factors
affect
the
field
of
view,
and
consequently
the
section
of
road
surface
being
measured.
The
recommended
installation
height
for
a
Wintersense SDI-12
smart
sensor
is
3
to
5 met
re
s
(10
to
16
feet).
Sensors
can
be
installed
higher
if
required.
However,
the
higher
the
sensor
is
installed,
the
larger
the
surface
measurement
area
will
be.
This
increases
the
risk
of
sensing
the
temperature
of
unwanted
objects.
In
addition,
a
large
measuring
distance
may
result
in
reduced
accuracy
under
certain
atmospheric
conditions.
The
following

and

show
typical
installation
parameters
and

target
dimensions.
