Configuration
Sensitivity
The ten position rotary switch is used to set the sensitivity. For most
installations the setting of 5 will work well. If motorcycle detection is required,
you may need to use a higher setting.
One second after changing the sensitivity setting, the detector will automatically
reset itself to implement the new sensitivity setting. The technician must make
sure that there are no vehicles or other objects over or near the sensor when the
reset occurs. If the zone was not clear, simply press the reset button once the
zone is clear.
DIP Switches
There are two DIP switches for adjusting the configuration of the TRIAD system.
There are no internal DIP switches or jumpers to configure.
When a DIP switch is moved to the left position it is in the ON condition. The
right position is OFF.
Pulse / Presence (Switch 2)
– This switch determines if the detector operates
using presence detection or pulse detection. The switch setting takes effect
immediately when changed.
OFF = the presence mode of operation is selected. ON = the pulse mode of operation is selected.
Fail Type (Switch 1)
– This switch determines if the output operates in a fail-safe or fail-secure mode of
operation.
During fail-safe operation, when the detector is in the presence mode of operation and a sensor failure is
detected, the output will stay activated during the failure. In gate applications this feature is used to
automatically open the gate if a sensor fails.
During fail-secure operation, when the detector is in the presence mode of operation and a sensor failure is
detected, the output will stay deactivated during the failure. In gate applications this feature is used to keep the
gate closed if a sensor fails.
It should be noted that a power failure will always result in a fail-secure operation. Fail-safe operation is only
available when a valid input voltage is applied to the detector. When configured for pulse mode the output will
always operate in the fail-secure mode.
OFF = the fail-safe mode of operation is selected. ON = the fail-secure mode of operation is selected.
