IDENTIFICATION:
•Part Number: TC-0A-SDLC
•Product Name: INTERSECTOR™SDLC
•Software Compatibility:
oV3.2E: Intended for the INTERESECTOR SDLC or any Intersector that is being updated from V2.0F
oV3.1E: Intended for Intersectors being upgraded from V1.9U
DESCRIPTION
The INTERSECTOR SDLC is a microwave motion and presence tracking sensor designed for vehicle detection at
intersections. The sensor offers several advantages over inductive loop detectors and camera-based systems:
•Detection is not affected by weather conditions
•Immune to sunrise / sunset or post-rain glare
•Not susceptible to in-road breakage
•Multiple lanes can be covered by a single unit
•Lane by lane detection configuration ability
•Easily installs on corner signal poles and signal mast arms
•No privacy concerns
•Reduces construction cost
Through the INTERSECTOR HUB portal, the INTERSECTOR SDLC allows users to visually track vehicles as they approach
the intersection and allows easy setup of detection zones to provide programmable inputs to a traffic control cabinet.
The portal also provides the ability to verify system functionality.

MOUNTING LOCATION –GUIDELINES
IMPORTANT NOTE:
MS Sedco recommends a “Pre-Analysis” be performed for the intersection where the INTERSECTOR SDLC is to be
installed. The Pre-Analysis provides key information that can be helpful with the initial setup of the sensor relative to
mounting height, distance from detection zone, number of lanes, etc. The information below helps to outline the
basic requirements to assist in the proper location and setup of the sensor.
1. Fundamental guidelines for installation:
Mounting height should be between 14 ft. and 20
ft. on a corner signal pole or on a mast arm no
further than 10 feet from the signal pole
The maximum offset angle (azimuth) to the
direction of traffic should be no more than +/- 15º
The sensor must be mounted level
Distance from the sensor to the Stop Bar should
not exceed 160 ft.
Distance from the sensor to the closest detection
zone should be at least 60 ft.
Typical detection range of the INTERSECTOR SDLC
is 600 ft.
The INTERSECTOR SDLC has a detection width
angle of 30 degrees. For best results the sensor
should be mounted at a tilt angle between
horizontal and 6 degrees downward plus or minus
the slope of the road.
2. Tilt angle (elevation) in degrees based upon mounting height vs. distance to front of the detection.
Keep in mind that the angle is relative to the slope/grade of the roadway.
MS Sedco recommends the use of an angle indicator for this procedure.

to help point the sensor at the center of the detection zone as shown below.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
1. All power and data for the INTERSECTOR SDLC is accomplished through any of the 6 sensor ports provided at
the INTERSECTOR HUB. An ethernet cable with RJ45 connections must be plugged in at the back of the
INTERSECTOR SDLC and at one of 6 sensor ports. Power Over Ethernet (POE) is provided through the port.

2. If making the ethernet cable specific to the installation, adhere to the following cable configuration:
CONFIGURATION AND PROGRAMMING
Upon successful mechanical installation of the INTERSECTOR SDLC and cabling to the HUB, refer to the
INTERSECTOR HUB User’s Guide for complete programming and setup instructions.
TESTING & VALIDATION
Upon completion of all Intersector and HUB installation and setup procedures, all functions shall be tested to ensure
safe and reliable performance. As a minimum…
•Verify all devices have been properly secured
•Verify all wire connections and plug-ins are properly secured
•Ensure all defined settings and zones have been saved at the HUB
•Verify that each zone operates as expected per the configuration that has been defined
•Verify that the proper SDLC output shows up on the controller as vehicles go into each zone
•Ensure the Fail-Safe time (in seconds) is appropriate for the application
•Observe real-time traffic flow and ensure sensor and HUB performance is performing correctly
