INTRODUCTION
PR O D U C T OV E R V I E W
The PC-TB12-Series is a complete, self-contained, battery operated people counter. This system consists of a photoelectric
infrared beam transmitter and receiver, which can operate up to 30 ft apart in front-firing or side-firing modes. The counter
will increment as the invisible IR beam is broken, regardless of the direction of traffic. The on-board memory stores data
that can be extracted. This counter provides an easily installed, comprehensive network solution for local and central data
collection.
The PC-TB12-Series sensors are versatile and come in three varieties to suit your needs. The TB12-R is a non-radio sensor
that does not require a network, data is extracted via USB. The TB12N-WR is a Wifi sensor that easily integrates with any
802.11 b/g/n network. The TB12N-9R is a 900Mhz sensor that integrates with a 900Mhz sensor server making it an ideal
wireless solution that does not require a Wifi network.

HARDWARE OVERVIEW
RX UN I T FU N CT I O N S
Reading the current counts: When the IR beam is broken the LCD display on the RX unit will list the current
count value.
To view the counts without breaking the beam briefly tap the service button on the RX unit. The LCD counter will
then display the current total count as well as an F or S, indicating which mode (front- or side-firing) is being
used.
Clearing the LCD Counter: The counter may be reset by pressing the service button until the counter indicates a
zero count. The display will read new batt when it is reset to default.
Configuration Mode: When plugged into a PC via USB the LCD display should read Config. The RX unit must be
placed in configuration mode to change settings with the sensor utility software.
TX UN I T FU N C T I O N S
Indicate Mode: Briefly tapping the service button will allow the TX unit to indicate the programmed mode of
operation. The LED will flash 1 to 4 times.
o1 flash = Front-Firing Low Power
o2 flashes = Front-Firing High Power
o3 Flashes = Side-Firing Low Power
o4 Flashes = Side-Firing High Power
Configuration Mode: When plugged into a PC via USB the LCD display should read Config. The TX unit must be
placed in configuration mode to change settings with the sensor utility software.
AM B I E N T LI G H T DI F F U S E R
The RX unit with the LCD display is shipped with
two rubber lens covers inserted in the beam-
receiving openings. These lens covers are used to
reduce ambient light interference.
If you remove the rubber lens covers (not
recommended), store covers until system is
successfully installed.

1. Set the sensor to a static IP address rather than using a dynamic (DHCP) IP address. The radio must remain on for a
longer period of time to request and receive a dynamic address from the DHCP server.
2. Set the wireless access point to a specific channel, and program the sensor to connect on that particular channel.
If Auto-Channel must be used, limit the channels to 1, 6, and 11, and set the sensor to only search those three
channels. The more channels that the sensor must scan, the faster the batteries will be depleted.
3. If your location has more than one wireless access point that use the same SSID, set each access point to a specific
channel, and program the sensor to connect only to the channel of the closest access point. If multiple access
points have the same SSID and are using auto-channel, the sensor may bounce between multiple access points,
causing the radio to remain on for a longer period of time, depleting the batteries.
4. TB12-Series sensors should not be used for near-real-time data collection. Use the longest possible transmit
period. Although the sensor is able to transmit data at intervals as small as two minutes, it is best to use a 6-8 hour
(or longer) transmit interval to conserve battery power. (Keep in mind that logging is independent of the transmit
interval. For example, log data every 15 minutes, and send it every 8 hours. Although you must wait longer to
receive the data, you may still view the counts in smaller time intervals.)
5. Verify that you have adequate signal strength using the Wi-Fi Setup Utility. The sensors may have difficulty
connecting to the access point with signal strengths below -63 DbM.
6. Verify that sensors are aligned, and in the proper firing and power modes for the application. If the RX unit has
difficulty ‘seeing’ the beam from the TX unit, it will try to re-synchronize, which requires more power from the
batteries.
7. Verify that the following settings are DISABLED in the Advanced Options of the Wi-Fi Setup Utility:
a. DHCP Caching
b. ARP Caching
c. DNS Caching
d. Allow Channels 12 and 13 (If possible)
8. When performing a change of batteries, after swapping the batteries press and hold the service button next to the
USB port for approximately 10 seconds, or until the message NEW BATT is displayed on the LCD counter, release
the service button and tap the service button once more to force a new data transmission and service signal from
the sensors. (Use 3.6 Volt Lithium Batteries Only)
TB 1 2N - WR (WI F I )AC CU R A C Y C ON SI DER ATION S
1. Mounting Height –To avoid receiving multiple counts caused by swinging arms and legs, it is recommended that
the sensors be mounted at a height between 48 and 54 inches. If the sensors must be lowered to count children,
the arms and/or legs of adults may cause false counts.
2. Couples and Groups –Break-Beam sensors are most accurate when traffic is single-file, and going in one direction
at a time. If multiple people break the beam at the same time, the sensor will only count one. All though these
sensors are capable of spanning distances of up to 40 ft., it is important to remember that as you increase the
distance, and allow larger crowds to pass through at the same time, you decrease your accuracy.
3. TB12-Series sensors are non-directional sensors, and do not provide separate counts for entries and exits. If people
will enter and exit through the same sensors, counts must be divided by two.
4. IR Interference –Sunlight, automatic door sensors, night-vision security cameras, and other sources of infrared
light near the sensor may cause false or missed counts. Avoid mounting sensors within close proximity to a source
of infrared light. If sensors will be used in an area that receives full sun, the sensors should be tested in the desired
mounting location, in full sun, prior to permanently mounting them on the walls or door frames. Use the ambient
light diffuser grommets.

1. The sensors must be mounted so that they are no more than 40
feet apart (high-power mode) or 12 feet apart (low-power mode).
2. The sensors should be mounted 3-4 feet off the ground to count
all traffic, or 4-5 feet off the ground to count only adult traffic.
3. The mounting surface should be sturdy in order to prevent
misalignment from bumping into either the sensor or mounting
bracket.
4. A tape measure is accurate enough to mount the sensors level
enough so they can see each other.
5. The image on the right provides examples of both correct and
incorrect mounting for either Side-Firing or Front-Firing
configurations.
6. Door swing must be taken into consideration before mounting
the sensors (especially true for side-firing mode, where sensors are
typically mounted on the doorframe). Ensure that the door does not
break the beam when it opens or closes.

3. Attach the sensors to the back-plates.
Insert the dual tabs at point Ainto the receptacles on the back of
the sensor.
oThe sensor must be initially tilted at an angle, as shown in
the image on the right.
Once the tabs are inserted, tilt the other end of the sensor
toward the back-plate –inserting the larger, single tab at point B
into the receptacle on the back of the sensor.
When the tabs are in place, slowly apply some force to snap the
senor onto the back-plate.
Note: To remove the sensors from the back-plate use the small, blue
screwdriver to push on the locking tab in the small hole at point C, while
pulling slightly on the sensor to release it from the back-plate.

System Manager is used to define regions, districts, and facilities by breaking down your
organization into a tree that interfaces with MS SQL, the Service Configuration Utility, and Vea View.
Service Configuration Utility controls the service that is required for the applications to function.
Our service is named System_Manager_Service.
Vea View is a robust tool that allows you to see business metrics that combine multiple data
sources such as point of sale and customer traffic. Reporting can be automated and sent to your
recipient group.
The Sensor Utility and WIFI IR beam setup tool are named different, but are the same tool. The
programs are used with our TB-12R series sensors. Either tool can be used for all three model types
Wifi, 900 Mhz, and non-radio.
The applications allow you to plug your sensor in via USB and modify your sensor settings. You
can adjust network settings along with some network troubleshooting tools. You can also adjust
infrared beam settings. Also, you can adjust your logging time bins.
Server Manager software is used in conjunction with sensor servers. Server manager allows you
to define regions, districts, and facilities by breaking down your organization into a tree. Server
manager is stand-alone, no SQL required to connect your applications. You can generate reports
right from the server manager software.
