Overview

This document describes a sensor system designed for counting people, likely for traffic monitoring in entrances or similar areas. The system consists of two main components: a receiver sensor (also referred to as a counter terminal) and a transmitter sensor. These sensors are designed to be installed on opposite sides of an entrance, facing each other and at the same height, to accurately detect movement.

Function Description

The primary function of this device is to count people passing between the transmitter and receiver sensors. It utilizes infrared technology for detection. The system can operate in two speed modes: low speed for normal walking detection and high speed for faster-moving targets. The receiver sensor features a display screen, indicator lights, and two touch buttons (K1 and K2) for operation and settings adjustment. The transmitter sensor also has indicator lights and a DIP switch for configuring its operation mode.

The receiver sensor records data based on a configurable save interval, which can be set to real-time, 1 minute, 30 minutes, or 1 hour. It stores up to 3200 records, which can represent accumulated in and out data per hour during business hours, or individual counts if set to real-time. This data can be queried directly on the device, showing annual, monthly, and daily visitor traffic. For more detailed analysis and long-term storage, the data can be exported to a computer via a USB cable or directly to a FAT32 formatted U disk (up to 32GB) using a provided converter.

The system also includes various indicator lights on both the counter terminal and the sensor counter transmitter to provide status feedback. These lights indicate conditions such as low battery, blocked sensors, data reading/writing, touch operation, and startup status.

Usage Features

Installation: The sensors should be mounted on the two sides of an entrance, facing each other, and at the same height. The maximum recommended distance between sensors is 25 meters. The optimal installation height is between 1.3 and 1.4 meters. The sensors can penetrate glass doors with a tilt angle of less than 30 degrees and are designed to be pasted on door frames or walls using double-sided stickers. It's crucial for the receiver sensor to receive a signal from the transmitter sensor; a red light flashing on the receiver indicates a lack of signal, while no red light indicates a successful connection.

Battery: Both sensors are powered by ER18505 batteries. The device provides visual cues for low battery status: a yellow light flashing on the receiver sensor or a red light flashing on the transmitter sensor indicates that the battery needs replacement. Correct battery installation direction is essential.

Receiver Settings: The receiver is operated using two touch buttons, K1 and K2. The screen automatically shuts down after 10 seconds of inactivity to conserve power.

  • Setup Menu Access: Long pressing K1 or K2 enters the setup menu. Alternatively, the receiver can be connected to a computer via a USB cable, and parameters can be set using client software.
  • Data/Time Set: To set the system time, long press K1 to enter the setting option. Long press K1 to change the position (e.g., year, month, day, hour, minute), and long press K2 to save and exit. Short presses of K1 and K2 adjust the numerical values.
  • Work Period: Similar to data/time settings, the work period can be configured. Long press K1 to enter the setting option, long press K1 to change position, and long press K2 to save and exit.
  • Probe Speed: The receiver offers two modes: high speed and low speed. Low speed is the default for normal walking detection. If faster-moving targets are expected, the high-speed mode should be selected on the receiver, and the transmitter sensor's speed status should be adjusted accordingly (via its DIP switch) and then restarted for the change to take effect.
  • Save Interval: For devices with data export functionality, the save interval can be configured. Options include real-time, 1 minute, 30 minutes, or 1 hour. The receiver saves records periodically based on this setting.
  • Data Query and Export:
    • On-device Query: From the menu bar, select "2 Data browse" and press K1 to enter. Long pressing K1 switches between year, month, and day views, while short pressing K1 or K2 switches between records. This allows viewing accumulated annual, monthly, and daily visitor traffic.
    • USB Data Export: Data can be exported to a computer via a USB cable.
    • U Disk Export: The device supports exporting data to a FAT32 formatted U disk (up to 32GB). A matching converter is required to connect the U disk to the Micro USB port on the sensor. To export, navigate to "cache management," select "a Download to U disk," and wait for the process to complete. The sensor only exports undownloaded data by default. To re-download all data, a "c re-download setting" operation must be performed first. Each sensor counter device has a unique ID, and the U disk will create a directory based on this ID to manage data from multiple devices. It is crucial not to operate the device during the data record download process.

Transmitter DIP Switch Function Definition: The transmitter sensor has a DIP switch with two settings:

  • Coding 1: High Speed (ON) / Low Speed (OFF)
  • Coding 2: High Power (ON) / Low Power (OFF) These settings allow matching the transmitter's operation mode with the receiver's probe speed and adjusting transmit power for long-distance installations.

Maintenance Features

Battery Replacement: When the yellow light on the receiver sensor or the red light on the transmitter sensor flashes continuously, it indicates a low battery and requires replacement. Ensure correct battery polarity during installation.

Troubleshooting Common Problems: The manual provides solutions for various common issues, primarily related to sensor alignment, obstructions, battery status, and operational mode mismatches.

  • Red light flashing on Counter terminal:

    • Misalignment/Height Difference: Adjust the installation position of both sensors so they are at the same height and face each other directly.
    • Obstruction: Remove any objects blocking the line of sight between the sensors.
    • Low Transmitter Battery: Replace the battery in the transmitter.
    • Mode Mismatch: Adjust the high speed and low speed modes on both the transmitter and receiver to ensure they are consistent.
  • Yellow light flashing on receiver sensor: Indicates a low battery in the receiver sensor, requiring replacement.

  • Yellow light constantly on receiver sensor: Suggests the touch button is not responding due to contact with the lid. Open the lid and stretch the button spring to resolve this.

  • Receiver sensor counts in one direction or disorderly:

    • Misalignment/Height Difference: Re-align and adjust the height of the sensors.
    • Interference from other infrared devices: Shut down the interfering device or relocate the sensor.
    • Strong light source interference: Turn off the interfering light source or relocate the sensor.
  • Red light flashing on receiver sensor for long-distance installation: Turn the transmitter sensor's 2# coded switch to the ON position (High Power mode) and restart the transmitter sensor. This increases the transmit power for better performance over longer distances.

Data Clearing: To clear all stored data from the receiver's cache, navigate to the "cache management" menu, select "b Empty cache," and then long press K2. It's important to note that this action is irreversible and will permanently delete all data. This operation only clears data and does not affect parameter settings.
