We are proud to announce changes in our traffic
counter technology that will improve accuracy and performance .
Breakaway Engineering in 2005 has helped us totally
redesigned the brains and optics of our traffic counter system.
The new features added are:
Feature...Better
Optics that focus on a tighter frequency.
Benefit...Eliminates outside interference such as headlight distortion or
direct sunlight causing innacuracy.
Feature...Solid
Alignment Programming
Benefit...Very easy installation and solid beam connectivity insuring the
highest accuracy possible.
Feature...Automatic
gain control the existing counter is effected by ambient
lighting changes.
Benefit...Your new counter will automatically adjust to any lighting
issue..
Feature...More
efficient power management so the beams are stronger using less
electricity.
Benefit...Better performance and more money in your pocket.
Feature...Diagnostic
capability
Benefit...If something does go wrong we are able to identify the problem and
fix it without touching the hardware.
Engineering Specifications
1. IR detector is a diode rather than an
opto-transistor and less prone to saturation and with a higher frequency
response.
2. The higher frequency operation allows signal
modulation at a rate more than seven times higher, with an additional
secondary modulation at 1.2 KHz.
3. The signal undergoes an electronic automatic
gain circuit to compensate for detector variations.
4. The received signal is demodulated through a
very narrow band pass filter, allowing a small fraction of noise signal
through to the measuring system compared to the previous circuit.
5. A more sophisticated algorithm reduces false
counts by correlating both the entry and the exit from the beam network to
authorize a valid count.
