Installation

Instructions for setting up a mobile traffic survey.

Location

Pay attention to the local legal regulations and find out whether a permit is required to set up the mobile system at the location you have defined.

Obey local regulations regarding the minimum distance from the roadway.
The mobile system should not block any driveways or footpaths.
The mobile system must not obscure any traffic signs.

Select a suitable location for the installation. Please note that the height of the system when the pole elements are fully extended is approx. 6 m.

Step by step instructions

the mobile system must be attached to a fixed infrastructure
take the telescopic mast incl. mounting bracket and position it on an existing infrastructure (e.g. light pole, pipe post, etc.)

Installation of the telescopic pole at a light pole

Guide the supplied tensioning straps through the lugs (2x) of the mounting bracket and attach the tensioning straps to the pole you have selected (e.g. lighting pole, tubular post, etc.)

Installation of the tensioning straps
to prevent easy removal of the mobile BMA, install two padlocks through the ratchet element of the tensioning straps

Tensioning straps secured with padlocks
place the BMA on the top element of the telescopic mast and fix it in place with a twist-and-push movement

Sensor mounted
attach the BMA to the back of the lower pole strap
use the supplied reusable cable tie and pull it hand-tight

Sensor secured
connect the 2-pin black/blue plug to the BMA. Make sure that the plug is inserted straight

Powerconnector
Next, connect the 2-pin gray plug to the back of the battery box and close the plug fuse

Installation battery box
lift the battery box and place the battery box in the middle guide of the C-profile
if the battery box is in the correct position, you can insert a padlock through the hole at the lower end and close it

Battery box secured
loosen the twist lock on the mast element and raise the mast to the desired height
close the twist lock firmly in a clockwise direction to prevent loosening due to vibrations

Do this for all 4 mast elements if the maximum height is reached 13. check the current alignment of the BMA using the Control Center 14. you can adjust the alignment around the vertical axis by rotating the mast element 15. to change the alignment around the horizontal axis, the mast must be fully retracted and the cover of the sensor opened 16. turn the optical part of the sensor up or down to obtain the desired alignment and close the cover of the sensor 17. carry out steps 12 - 14 again 18. finally, place the mast lock around the twist lock of the lowest mast element and secure it with a padlock

Mast lock secured
Now you can set your sensor via the Control Center and configure the current traffic survey in the Data Center
