RTMS Echo
Quick Start Guide
Mounting Height and Tilt Recommendations
Mount the RTMS Echo
NOTE: Always follow local wiring codes and local standards that apply
to the location in which the RTMS
Echo is being installed.
1. Attach the bracket to the roadside
pole (or another specified
location) using stainless steel
banding or bolts.
2. Secure the RTMS Echo to the
mounting bracket using the
washer, lock washer and nut.
Make sure that the cable
connector is on the bottom of
the unit when it is mounted.
3. Adjust the RTMS Echo to be
perpendicular to the travel
lanes and level with the road.
This is the roll and can be fine
tuned in section 5.
4. Tilt the RTMS Echo so that the sensor is aimed at the farthest
monitored zone. The tilt recommended in section 2 can be fine
tuned in section 5.
5. Hand tighten the nuts for the moment. Final tightening will be
done after the aiming process (section 5).
CAUTION:
Make sure the mains are
turned off prior to connecting the wires.
6. Undo the protective cap on the
sensor’s connector.
7. Insert the RJ-45 connector
from the cable to the RJ-45
receptacle on the bottom of the
sensor.
8. Tighten the cable’s locking
collar by turning it a quarter
turn to the right.
9. Connect the other end of the
cable to 12-24VDC power and communications in the breakout
box according to the pinouts shown below. In addition, the silver
(non-colored) wire must be connected to Earth ground.
NOTE: Surge suppression is recommended and filtering may be
required (see the help system for details).
