3 INTRODUCTION
3.1 CONCEPT
The TMS-SA is a compact, self-contained and portable traffic counter.
The battery, memory and sensor are contained in a single housing.
•It is installed alongside the road;
•It is discrete;
•It is not in direct contact with passing vehicles;
•It is silent
•The technology used makes the equipment impermeable to cold, heat, mist, surrounding
pollution, variations in light, humidity, etc. Note however very heavy rainfall (sudden shower
or flurry, combined with gusts of wind during a storm for example) can create false detections
(parasitic measurements) in the receding direction (measurement of vehicles moving away).
The Icoms Software automatically detects the false detections due to rain. It is then up to the
user to decide to filter out the data to erase the undesirable measures. The function of this
filter is explained further in this document, p. 29
3.2 FUNCTIONS
The equipment enables the counting of vehicles, speed measurement and classification of vehicles
according to length, with a record of the date and time of passingof each vehicle. It saves the measured
data for each vehicle.
The software supplied with the equipment enables a precise and complete analysis of the data.
3.3 TECHNOLOGY
This is a Doppler effect radar, using the same technology as enforcement radars.

10
4 PREFACE
The TMS-SA communicates with a PC via a Bluetooth® link. Before configuring your TMS-SA, it is
necessary to install the Icoms Detections software (IcomSoft TMS-SA) and, if not already installed on
your PC, the driver for the Bluetooth transmitter/receiver (dongle).
PLEASE UNINSTALL ANY BLUESOLEIL DRIVER PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED ON YOUR
COMPUTER. IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE ICOMSOFT TMS-SA.
4.1 MINIMUM REQUIRED CONFIGURATION
▪Operating system (OS): Windows 7 or later
▪Configuration:
oDisk space: 1 GB minimum
oRAM memory: 1 GB
oProcessor min 1.5 GHz
oBluetooth 2.0 class 1 (100 m)
The use of Bluetooth equipment of a level earlier than 2.0 is strongly advised against, it may not
provide the required data throughput needed for good communication with the radar. Furthermore,
if there are nearby devices operating in the same frequency range such as internet routers, or other
Wi-Fi devices or GSM, Bluetooth version 1.1 manages the frequency plans very badly. Class 2 is equally
strongly advised against (various pre-installed internal Bluetooth) in areas with interference (see also
below, Bluetooth connection with the PC, Notes).
4.2 INSTALLATION OF THE ICOMSOFT TMS-SA
1. Close any running applications.
2. Place the USB key in the USB slot, navigate to 6_IcomSoft\TMS-SA\Windows\ and execute
IcomSoft-TMS-SA-setup-x.y.z.exe (x.y.z refers to the version of the IcomSoft TMS-SA supplied by
your distributor).
3. If you have downloaded the software via a website, double-click the ".exe" file to start the
installation process.
4. Follow the instructions.

5 INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
The radar installation sequence is as follows:
1. Choose the installation site;
2. Mount the support;
3. Place the radar on its support;
4. Connect the PC to the radar;
5. Send the configuration parameters;
6. Check the accuracy of the data.
An incorrect installation can change the precision on the data. See p. 44 for more information about
the influence of the installation of the accuracy of the data.
The best results are obtained with the following conditions:
•measure on a single traffic lane in only one direction. Please remember that very heavy rainfall
(sudden shower or flurry, combined with gusts of wind during a storm for example) can create
false detections (parasitic measurements) in the receding direction (measurement of vehicles
moving away).
•mounting pole perpendicular to the road (a deviation in the post of 6 degrees can create a
speed measurement error of 5 %. The software allows the road gradient or slope to be
corrected for, see p. 21),
•measure outside braking, acceleration and congestion zones.
The green areas in the following diagrams indicate the best installation height and road distance
combinations. It is possible to operate outside the zones concerned, but the measurements will be less
accurate. This colour code also appears in the software during the selection of the installation
parameters
Graph 1: one direction
Graph 2: both directions
Example:
•For measurements in one direction, if the distance between the pole and the centre of the
lane is 4 m, the recommended height is between 1.5 and 4.5 m.

14
•For measurements in both directions, if the distance between the pole and the centre of the
road is 5 m, the recommended height is between 1.5 and 4 m.
5.1 PHYSICAL INSTALLATION OF THE RADAR
5.1.1 CHOOSE THE DIRECTION ACCORDING TO THE DETECTION DIRECTION
The equipment can measure vehicles that are moving towards or away from the radar. It is therefore
possible to install the equipment behind a road sign (more discrete). The various possibilities are
depicted in Figure 1as shown in the IcomSoft:
Figure 1: position of the radar and detection direction
Two important elements must be considered when choosing the installation site: the distance
between the post and the centre of the traffic lane (or the separation between the lanes for
bidirectional measurements, see Figure 2) and the height of the radar installation.
In general, the distance cannot be changed, it depends on the post or mast, which are often fixed.
Figure 2: distance to the axis, unidirectional - bidirectional
The height is measured between the roadway and the base of the radar (bottom edge of the housing).
It is chosen as a function of the distance, as indicated on page 13.
5.1.2 POSITIONING THE MOUNTING BRACKET
The mounting bracket is made from two parts: one part is mounted at the back of the radar, the
another part is mounted on a signpost or other vertical support. Two types of mounting systems are
available, in order to make the mounting easier on places where it is difficult to place the standard
support parallel to the road.
5.1.2.1 Change the radar mounting bracket
The TMS-SA is equipped by default with the 45° oriented bracket, as shown on Figure 3.

Figure 3: 45° oriented conical bracket
To install the optional bracket, remove the 4 nuts and take out the conical part.
Figure 4: TMS-SA without bracket
Replace the conical part by the steerable bracket as shown on
Figure 5. Please make sure the marks coincide.
Figure 5: steerable bracket
The nuts tightening torque must be 22 Nm.
5.1.2.2 Installing the pole support –Standard 45° mounting bracket
Ensure that the support plate is well parallel to the road thanks to the alignment tool integrated in the
equipment (for easily aligning the bracket). The spirit level enables you to check that post is
vertical/parallel to the ground.

16
Figure 6: alignment tool
Measure the distance between the post and the road. Record the same distance 15 m further away
and place an object (a traffic cone with a marker, for example) that allows you to sight parallel to the
road. Once the object is aligned in the viewfinder, firmly secure the bracket to the post and check the
alignment again to make sure the bracket has not moved while it was being secured.
Figure 7: mounting bracket
Once the movable bracket has been mounted, the radar can be installed as shown in Figure 8 and
Figure 9:
Figure 8: pole bracket + rear bracket
Figure 9: radar installed on the pole bracket
5.1.2.3 Installing the pole support –Optional steerable bracket
An optional support has been developed for the TMS-SA in order to offer a wider range of positioning
angles, instead of the fixed angle of +/-45 degrees. On some poles, it is indeed difficult to find the
parallel with the road and to properly install the standard 45° bracket.

17
Attach the TMS-SA bracket to the post using the clamps, as shown in Figure 10 & Figure 11.
Figure 10: support & clamps, side view
Figure 11: support & clamps, front view
5.1.2.3.1 Positioning TMS-SA at 45°
Place the TMS-SA on the bracket as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13.
FIGURE 13 also shows the alignment of the two holes on the right using the orange arrow. When the
two holes are aligned, the TMS-SA is aligned at 45 ° to the bracket on the pole. If the road is parallel to
the support, the TMS-SA is aligned for use.
Figure 12: TMS-SA with bracket
Figure 13: 45° mark
Slide a screw through the two aligned holes to secure the TMS-SA orientation as shown in Figure 13.
Then use the clamping screw and tighten the screw securely to ensure the correct fixing of the TMS-
SA.
Figure 14: orientation screw
Figure 15: 45° orientation

18
Figure 16: clamping screw
Figure 17: orientation at 45° with clamping screw and
optional padlock
5.1.2.3.2 Positioning TMS-SA at -45°
If the TMS-SA has to detect in the opposite direction, the steerable bracket allows to change the
orientation of the detector as shown in Figure 19. The orange arrow in Figure 19 shows the indication
of-45 ° when the two holes are aligned. If the road is parallel to the support, the TMS-SA is aligned for
use and you can proceed with the orientation screw and the clamping screw as shown in Figure 20 and
Figure 21.
Figure 18: clamping screw
Figure 19: -45° mark
Figure 20: -45° orientation screw
Figure 21: orientation at -45° with clamping screw and
optional padlock
5.1.2.3.3 Random angle mounting
When the pole is not parallel to the road and the TMS-SA must be aligned at another angle, the
steerable bracket can change the angle. Figure 22 shows the TMS-SA mounted at a different angle. In
this case, there is no orientation screw because the orientation holes are not aligned and therefore do

19
not allow the orientation screw to be set to +/-45 ° relative to the post. To align the TMS-SA, the upper
edge of the steerable bracket serves as a viewfinder. Align the upper edge by putting it parallel to the
edge of the road to put the TMS-SA at the right angle, as shown in Figure 22. Then use the clamping
screw to secure the desired direction of detection of the TMS-SA.
Figure 22: clamping screw with TMS-SA at a different angle
5.1.2.3.4 Anti-theft padlock
The upper part of the TMS-SA support includes a slotted hole which gives access to a second hole to
be able to pass an anti-theft padlock, as indicated by the orange arrow in Figure 23.
Figure 23: insertion space for anti-theft padlock
5.1.3 THE ANGLES
2 angles determine the installation and accuracy of the measurements:
Horizontal (, with reference to the vehicle movement axis): ALWAYS 45°, where the base of the radar
is aligned with a point situated halfway between the parallel and perpendicular axis of the road.
Position the mounting foot in parallel with the vehicle movement, as indicated above. When you
position the radar on the bracket, it will be automatically positioned at 45° (see Figure 8 and Figure 9).
Vertical (): determined by the software according to the height of the installation and the distance to
the vehicle movement axis. This angle will be adjusted automatically after you have sent the
installation parameters to the radar and it has switched to "measurement" mode. The software makes
it possible to fine tune this angle according to the slope of the road and/or the inclination of the post.
Align the upper edge parallel to
the edge of the road, this serves as
a viewfinder.

5.2 CONFIGURING THE RADAR
Launch the IcomSoft TMS-SA software. See chapter 4.3, p. 10 for the connection with the radar. You
can also set up the radar with an Android app. See chapter 11, p. 45 for further information about it.
5.2.1 STEP 0/5: BASIC PARAMETERS
If data are already written in the memory of the radar, the software will suggest erasing it. Before
confirming, please check the data are saved.
