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 on
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.

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).

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).

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)

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.
Use the instructions in this section to connect the StatTrak-E to the optional solar panel.
The solar panel and the StatTrak-E come with IP68 electrical cable connectors for waterproof connection, as shown. The solar
panel and smart battery charger use the same port on the bottom of the StatTrak-E.
To connect the solar panel to the StatTrak-E:
A. Insert the solar panel connector into the StatTrak-E power connectors.
B. Twist to tighten the waterproof IP68 electrical cable connector onto the port, as shown.
