StatTrak-E Quick Start Guide, TraffiCloud Subscriber Edition

Step 3:Choosing a Site for your StatTrak-E Page 5 All Traffic Solutions

Selecting a physical location for the StatTrak-E

The site you select for the StatTrak-E will vary with your requirements, however you should generally adhere to the following

guidelines:

Guideline What to do

Choose a flat

location,

adjacent to the

roadway

Choose a location on a flat straight road section, directly adjacent to the roadway, where the

line of sight from the StatTrak-E to the vehicles being counted will be uninterrupted by other

traffic lanes, or parked vehicles or sidewalks. Consider how the location may develop with time,

such as trees or other new structures that may block the StatTrak-E or solar panel.

Choose the

distance from

intersections

Place the StatTrak-E at least 100 ft. (30 m)away from any intersection (avoid locations near

stop signs or traffic lights).

Choose the

distance from

the roadway

Ideally, place the StatTrak-E within 12 ft. (3.7 m)of the roadway.

Set the

mounting

height

Attach the StatTrak-E to the pole at a height anywhere from 5ft.6in. at the bottom of the

enclosure to 8 ft. (between 1.7 m and 2.5 m) at the top of the enclosure.

Choose your

pole type

You can secure the pole bracket to any type of pole using banding straps, lag screws, or nuts

and bolts. The included banding straps are sized to mount the StatTrak-E either to a 2-in. (5-

cm) Telespar-type pole, a 4-in.- to 5-in.- (10-cm to 13-cm)diameter round metal pole, or a 4-

in.x4-in. (10cm x 10cm)wooden pole. For larger poles, you'll need longer banding straps,

available from hardware stores.

Avoid stop-

and-go traffic

Avoid locations with frequent tailgating or stopped traffic, as data accuracy is significantly

impacted by these traffic conditions.

Use a stable

structure

Mount the StatTrak-E on a stable and firm structure. Avoid structures that are likely to be

affected by wind or rain.

STEP 4:MOUNTING A SOLAR PANEL

Solar charging is typically strong enough to keep the StatTrak-E battery adequately charged, but battery charge levels can be

compromised by lack of direct sunlight — from cloudy or hazy conditions to excessive shade, to snow, leaves, pollen, or dust

buildup on the panel. To avoid the need for recharging, locate the panel where you know there will be good sunlight and keep the

panel clean. If you do need to recharge the StatTrak-E after deployment, use the instructions in

Replacing StatTrak-E batteries

page15 to ensure optimum battery charge levels, recharging, and storage.

If your purchase does include a solar panel, mount it high on the pole

out of easy reach of vandals, optimally 10ft. to 12ft. (3m to

3.7m)above the road surface. Use the supplied solar panel bracket

and follow the instructions included in the bracket packaging.

The two-part bracket allows for full adjustment to best position the

panel towards the Sun. If your site will be in the northern hemisphere,

it's optimal to position your solar panel towards due Solar South (not

magnetic South), and if your site will be in the southern hemisphere,

it's optimal to position your solar panel towards due Solar North (not

magnetic North).

Regardless of whether you are in the northern or southern hemisphere, Solar North/South is the position of the Sun in the sky at

exactly the midpoint between sunrise and sunset.

StatTrak-E Quick Start Guide, TraffiCloud Subscriber Edition

Step 4:Mounting a solar panel Page 6 All Traffic Solutions

The solar panel should be angled 15 degrees above the latitude of the installation site. For example, if the latitude of the

installation site is 45degrees then the solar panel should be installed at an angle 60degrees down from horizontal, as shown.

You can easily obtain the latitude of the installation site from mapping apps or websites, such as by doing an Internet search for

"latitude your_city" where your_city is the name of the city or region where the panel is being installed.

NOTE:For details about assembly and mounting of the solar panel and bracket, refer to the installation document

included with them. See also

Step 7:Connecting a solar panel to the StatTrak-E

on page10.

STEP 5:INSTALLING THE MOUNTING BRACKETS

The StatTrak-E comes with a pole mounting bracket that enables you to mount the device securely to virtually any type of pole.

To attach the pole bracket to the StatTrak-E (first-time setup only):

lAttach the bracket to the back side of the StatTrak-E using the included hardware:

i. Place the StatTrak-E face down on a workbench or other smooth, flat surface.

ii. Place the pole bracket back to back with the StatTrak-E, aligning the top end of the bracket with the top back side of

the StatTrak-E. The top end of the bracket has the threaded bolt fittings for attaching the angle bracket, as shown.

The top of the StatTrak-E has the round antenna and the bottom has the key slot and charger port.

iii. Install the bolts into each of the four bottom, corner holes on the StatTrak-E and the pole bracket, also as shown.

If you'll be installing the StatTrak-E on a Telespar-type pole:

For installations on Telespar-type square poles at the roadside, which require angling the device at 45 degrees to the flow of

traffic, you'll need to install the two included pole adapters as follows:

A. Plug the larger adapter into the angle bracket by aligning it to the round middle slot and the inner banding strap slots and

pressing it into place, as shown.

B. Slide the metal pole adapter clip onto the bottom notch in the back of the pole bracket, as shown here:

Insert the banding straps for pole mounting the StatTrak-E:

A. Thread a stainless steel banding strap through the mounting slots on the pole bracket. Ideally, make sure the small buckle

on the strap is positioned to secure the loose end of the strap (as shown below right).

ATS | Chantilly, VA | USA | Tel: 1-866-366-6602 | Email: [email protected] | Web: www.alltrafficsolutions.com

StatTrak-E Quick Start Guide, TraffiCloud Subscriber Edition

Step 5:Installing the mounting brackets Page 7 All Traffic Solutions

B. Squeeze the second stainless steel banding strap into a narrow loop (as shown below middle)and thread it through the

mounting slots on the angle bracket, being careful not to pinch your finger between the bracket and the banding strap.

C. Do one of the following:

lFor 4-in. (10 cm)poles, thread one of the longer banding straps through the inner bracket slots of the angle bracket

and the other longer banding strap through the bottom slots of the pole bracket. You won't need the shorter strap.

lFor 2-in. (5cm)Telespar-style poles, thread the shorter banding strap through the outer slots of the angle bracket and

thread the longer banding strap through the bottom of the pole bracket, as shown.

To set the downward mounting angle:

lInstall the angle bracket onto the pole bracket, making sure to place the

bracket so that the angle numbers are facing up:

i. For roadside installations, install and tighten the angle bracket

into the 17-degree slot.

ii. For median installations, install and tighten the angle bracket into

the 12-degree slot.

iii. Thread the bolts and washers into the threaded fittings and tighten

them with a wrench.

STEP 6:MOUNTING AND AIMING THE STATTRAK-E

Use the steps in this section for help with median setup. Like speed-enabled radar signs, the StatTrak-E must be located in close

proximity to the traffic being monitored, directly facing the traffic in close proximity to the traffic being monitored, directly facing the

traffic for median installations, or facing the roadway at a 45-degree angle for roadside installations.

Positioning the StatTrak-E

To optimize accuracy of the data capture, position the StatTrak-E on the median at the roadside or on the median so that the

device has an unobstructed line of sight to the traffic lanes you want to measure and detects vehicles when they're about 100 ft. (30

m)feet away. The green LEDon the base of the StatTrak-E flashes when it detects a vehicle.

Installing the StatTrak-E on a pole

»Place the StatTrak-E on your selected pole at the planned horizontal angle to the traffic and a height between 5 ft. 6 in. and 8ft.

(1.7 m and 2.5 m). Then, tighten the included banding straps to the pole with a nut driver and power tool.

To install the StatTrak-E on a Telespar-style pole:

»Make sure you install the pole bracket and angle bracket adapters (roadside installations only)as shown on the previous page.

»Set the required horizontal angle to the traffic (directly facing the traffic for median installations) (directly facing the traffic for

median installations or angled at 45 degrees for roadside installations).

StatTrak-E Quick Start Guide, TraffiCloud Subscriber Edition

Step 6:Mounting and aiming the StatTrak-E Page 8 All Traffic Solutions

Step 6a:Positioning for roadside installations

Use one of the following approaches to set up roadside monitoring. For two-lane traffic moving in the same direction:

For bidirectional traffic:

If you use a smaller horizontal angle than 45 degrees (more directly facing the traffic), speed data will be improved, but vehicle

counts will not be as accurate.

These steps apply equally for two-lane traffic moving in the same direction or bidirectionally.

To monitor two lanes of moving traffic:

A. Install the StatTrak-E closest to the incoming lane of traffic, as shown above.

B. Position the device at a 45-degree angle to the traffic.

C. Recheck the downward angle you set on the previous page to ensure it's at 17 degrees.

Step 6b:Positioning for median installations

Positioning for median installations

For median installations, you'll need to check the lane measurements and use the steps below.

WARNING:RISK OF INJURY OR FATALITY. Exercise caution and follow local traffic regulations when entering

roadways. If necessary, estimate the lane measurements.

Lane measurements

If safe to do so, check the following lane measurements at the installation site to ensure that they correspond with the defaults set

in the StatTrak-E mobile app (see

Using the mobile app

on page12). If it's not safe to enter the roadway, do your best to estimate

the lane measurements.

Lane measurement Default value

Distance to the middle of the first lane 13 ft. (3.6 m)

Distance to the middle of the second lane 23 ft. (7 m)

Lane width 13 ft. (3.6 m)

StatTrak-E Quick Start Guide, TraffiCloud Subscriber Edition

Step 6:Mounting and aiming the StatTrak-E Page 9 All Traffic Solutions

To set up monitoring for four lanes, bidirectionally:

Use the following setup to monitor four lanes of traffic, with two lanes moving in one direction and the other two lanes moving in the

opposite direction. For median installations, traffic must be moving in opposite directions, as shown below.

A. Install the StatTrak-E on a pole on the median of the road.

B. Position the device directly facing either direction of traffic, parallel to the roadway (a 0-degree angle).

C. Recheck the downward angle you set on page8 to ensure it's at 12 degrees.

Here is an example StatTrak-E median placement, covering four lanes, with two lanes outgoing and two lanes incoming.

STEP 7:CONNECTING A SOLAR PANEL TO THE STATTRAK-E

CAUTION:Before doing any maintenance on a StatTrak-E, it is critical that you first turn off the power. This will

prevent the risk of minor electrical shock and damage to electrical components. Also, you should always

disconnect the solar panel beforehand if ever you need to change the batteries. See

Replacing StatTrak-E

batteries

on page15.

Advanced settings

Traffic

volume/burst

Set the radar sensitivity to adjust for capacity of vehicles and congestion, such as sudden

volume increases and vehicles passing simultaneously. The range is from two, where two small

vehicles may be interpreted as one larger vehicle, to 10, where small vehicles will be correctly

identified but long vehicles may be over-counted. The default setting is six.

Radar

sensitivity in

percent

Set the radar sensitivity, ranging from least to most sensitive. Radar sensitivity is used to tune

the radar system to detect harder to detect vehicles with lower reflectivity, or that are smaller or

farther away. If you set the sensitivity value higher, the radar can detect weaker signals from

smaller or less reflective objects. The range is from one percent to 100 percent. The default

setting is 60 percent.

Feature What you can do

Radar

amplification

factor

Radar amplification, when applied to received radar signals, enhances the signal, which can

improve vehicle detection when further away or in heavy weather conditions. The range is from

one to seven. A setting of one applies minimum amplification, so the radar will primarily detect

large vehicles and may skip smaller ones. A setting of seven applies maximum amplification and

in addition to detecting large vehicles, will better detect smaller vehicles. The default setting is

seven.

Statistics

speed

Enable the system to calculate and display vehicle speeds and defines the range of speeds to

be recorded. The default range is from three mph to 100 mph (five to 160 km/h).

You can also perform the following functions with the mobile app:

Feature What you can do

Date and Time Tap Date and Time, and then tap the Sync button to synchronize the date and time of

STEP 10:CONFIRMING YOUR INSTALLATION

Use either of the following methods to confirm that the StatTrak-E is working:

First, make sure the device is powered on. See

Step 8:Powering on the StatTrak-E

on page11.

»Check the green LEDat the base of the StatTrak-E. The LEDflashes 30seconds after you turn on the device and whenever it

detects a passing vehicle.

»Check for Real Time Readings in the StatTrak-E mobile app. See

Using the mobile app

on page12.

At this point, your work is complete until the StatTrak-E finishes collecting your traffic data. All Traffic Solutions recommends

conducting traffic studies for at least two weeks. The data uploads automatically to TraffiCloud.

REPLACING STATTRAK-E BATTERIES

Use this procedure to replace StatTrak-E batteries. No electrical certification is required to complete this procedure.

If you purchased a solar panel with the StatTrak-E, only one battery is included.

CAUTION:Before doing any maintenance on a StatTrak-E, it is critical that you first turn off the power. This will

reduce the risk of damage to electrical components or minor electrical shock.

To avoid overloading StatTrak-E circuit boards with electricity from the solar panel (if equipped), ALWAYS

disconnect the solar panel before changing batteries.

What you'll need

»One or two fully charged lithium iron phosphate batteries supplied by All Traffic

Solutions. Batteries from other vendors are not supported.

»A Torx T-30 security bit (included with your original shipment), a nut driver, and

power screwdriver or drill.
