INSTALLATION OPTIONS
There are two main installation options: (A) middle of the trail, or (B) at the side of the trail.
•
The maximum detection range is approximately 1m (3.3ft.). That is, all bikes must pass within 1m (3.3ft.) of
the counter to be counted. Installing the counter within 0.75m (2.5ft.) of passing bikes is optimum. Overall
rule of thumb: the closer, the better.
•
The detection zone is spherical, extending out in all directions from the counter.
•
Use Option A on trails that are wider than 1m (3.3ft.); use Option B for trails less than 1m (3.3ft) wide.
Because the detection zone is spherical, the counter can be installed under a bridge or ramp as long as the
distances specified above are respected.
