TRAX Apollyon User’s Manual

What is the EZ Belt?

The EZ Belt is a revolutionary new form of road tube that eliminates the 
need to measure tube spacing in the field.

The belt consists of two pneumatic tubes connected together at a 4 inch 
spacing by a thin layer of rubber. Since the two tubes are manufactured at 
a set distance apart, there is no need for you to do any measuring while in 
the field. When connected to a TRAX Apollyon recorder, you can record 
accurate data for volume, speed, class and gap using the EZ Belt.

The EZ Belt is installed in the lanes you want to record, then mini-tubes 
are connected to the end of the belt and run back to the TRAX recorder.

The EZ Belt should be replaced on a fairly consistent basis.

 Like other 

types of road tube, older belts will eventually develop splits in the tubes that 
can allow water to enter. When an air pulse is received, this water can be 
forced back into the unit’s air switch, potentially causing damage. Do not 
risk expensive repair bills by trying to squeezing a few extra studies out of 
old tube. One rule of thumb is to replace the EZ Belt after 30 days of use.

Installing the EZ Belt

Proper installation of the EZ Belt is very important for collecting accurate 
data with your TRAX Apollyon. The EZ Belt and the TRAX Apollyon’s 
air switches comprise the sensing device for the unit. As with all receivers, 
the sensor has to be functioning properly to record reliable information. 
With this in mind, examine your installations carefully and be absolutely 
certain that your unit is recording data as programmed.

A slideshow demonstration of the proper techniques for installing the EZ 
Belt can be viewed on the JAMAR web site at 

www.jamartech.com.

We recommend viewing this demonstration if you are new to the process 
of installing the EZ Belt, or would like additional tips on installation.
