carmanah MX Series Passive Sensor Kit
Product Information
The MX Series is a passive sensor kit designed for pedestrian safety. It includes two sensor models: SmartWalk Sensor and TC26-B Sensor. The SmartWalk Sensor is compatible with solar systems and can be used with pedestrian push buttons for manual activation.
Note
- This guide only covers interfacing the sensor to power and flasher modules. Sensor must be configured per manufacturer’s documentation to operate properly.
- Ensure correct sensor model is used for each application:
- SmartWalk XP-S: crosswalk pedestrian sensing
- SmartWalk TX-S: trail user sensing
- TC26-B: vehicle sensing
- Pedestrian push buttons should be used in parallel with SmartWalk sensors to provide manual activation option.
Caution: Only SmartWalk model numbers ending in “-S” can be used with solar systems.
Installing Instructions
- Prepare pole and install bracket and sensor per manufacturer’s instructions.
- Ensure SmartWalk DIP switch #4 (Fail Safe) is set to OFF position.
- Fish sensor cable through pole. Cap (or cut at end of jacket if permitted by local regulations) unused white wire.
- Except when connecting directly to MX 400 (which has screw terminals to accept spade/ring terminals), cut off terminals from wire ends and strip insulation 0.35″.
- Connect sensor wires to power or flasher module trigger terminals per table below.
- Configure sensor per manufacturer’s instructions and perform a walk/drive-by test to confirm proper operation.
