Sensys Gatso TD1 Multi Track Radar User Manual

Sensys Gatso TD1 Multi Track Radar

INTRODUCTION

The TD1 radar is a multi track radar built to measure the speed of traffic. It emits radar signals and receives the reflected signals for vehicle detection and speed measurement. The TD1 can simultaneously measure the speed of multiple passing vehicles. The TD1 can measure receding traffic, approaching traffic or both simultaneously for stationary enforcement.

Connections

Backside of the TD1 has two connections and three mounting points:

• Left round connector: Power, Ethernet, and CAN bus communication connections.
• Right rectangle connector: Homologation connection

Power and communication connection

The power and communication connection is connected to the system computer and contains; network for communicating, CAN bus and power. Power for the TD1 antenna is distributed via the system computer.

The system computer is the central processing unit in an enforcement system. The computer processes all data coming from sub devices in the enforcement system.

Cabling

The radar cable shown in the figure below is used to connect the TD1 to the system computer. Both sides of the cable have an identical connector with an indication tab which helps the user connect the cable. A red dot indicates the indication tab.

Fuse

The connection string between the system computer and TD1 has two additional fuses for a safe and reliable operation. One multi-fuse is placed at the system computer side and protects the hardware in the system computer and the radar cable. The other fuse is placed in the TD1 and protects the TD1 electronics against overcurrent.

Homologation connection

This connection is not used by the user. This connection is used by SGG employees for simulation of traffic for yearly verification or fault detection.

Status indication

At the right side of the homologation connector an indication LED will show the status of the radar.

● OFF – Power not available
● RED blinking – Start up
● RED – Error
● GREEN – Operation

A second LED will state the network activity.

Modes

When power is applied to the TD1 the status LED will blink RED. After 10 seconds the status LED will lit GREEN and the TD1 is in operation mode.

In operation mode the RF will be present.

FCC DECLARATIONS

Compliance statement (part 15.19)

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. this device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Warning (part 15.21)

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

RF Exposure (OET Bulletin 65)

To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, this transmitter should only be used or installed at locations where there is at least 20cm separation distance between the antenna and all persons.

Information to the User (Part 15.105 (a))

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Used symbols

Text with an exclamation mark in a red triangle means:

Please read the information carefully and/or carry out the given instructions precisely. Ignoring this warning may cause personal injury, cause damage to the system, or produce false data.

Text with an i mark in a green circle means:

Please read this information to not only use the system accurately and safely, but also efficiently.

Precautions RF radiations

The radar used does not pose a serious threat or cause adverse effects to people working on them, or using them, nor anyone in the vicinity.

Each radar generates electromagnetic fields with a certain frequency and power where the average output power of our radars is very low, a few milliwatts.

This is not considered hazardous to health, even when used in very close proximity to the body. However, as with all technologies, it is best to work safely to minimise exposure, no matter how small it may be.

Following recommendation can be observed:

• Keep radar emission areas clear of (metallic) objects to limit reflections;
• Do not cross, stand or walk in and/or limit the time present in the radar emission area;
• Keep a distance (> 60 cm) from a powered radar unit when in the radar emission area;

Do not place (large) metal objects directly in front of the radar, this can cause reflections and may damage the radars high frequency electronics due direct reflection.
