Preface
Safety of Installation and Maintenance Personnel
In the interests of health and safety, when installing, using or servicing this
equipment the following instructions must be noted and adhered to:
(1) Only skilled or instructed personnel, with relevant technical knowledge and
experience, who are familiar with the safety procedures required when
dealing with modern electrical/electronic equipment, are to be allowed to
use and/or work on this equipment. All work shall be performed in
accordance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
(2) Such personnel must take heed of all relevant notes, cautions and
warnings in this Handbook and any other Document or Handbooks
associated with this equipment.
(3) The equipment must be correctly connected to the specified incoming
power supply.
(4) Mains voltages may be present within traffic signal heads. Before any
maintenance work within the signal head is carried out, any mains supply
to it must be isolated or switched off.
(5) Only trained / competent persons should work on this equipment.
(6) Surfaces within the associated traffic signal get hot, e.g. lamp, lens and
reflector. Therefore care should be taken when working in such areas.
(7) Any power tools must be regularly inspected and tested.
(8) Any ladders used must be inspected before use to ensure they are sound
and not damaged.
(9) When using a ladder, before climbing it, ensure that it is erected properly
and is not liable to collapse or movement. If using a ladder near a
carriageway ensure that the work area is properly signed and coned.
(10)Any personnel working on site must wear the appropriate protective
clothing with high visibility jackets and safety boots as a minimum.

Safety of Road Users
It is important that all personnel are aware of the dangers to road users that
could arise during repair and maintenance of traffic control equipment.
Ensure that the junction area is coned and signed as necessary to warn
motorists and pedestrians of any dangers and to help protect the personnel
working on the site.
Wireless Safety
The WiMag detection system is a wireless based system.
This product system does emit RF signals which are below the statuary
requirements. However, it is recommended that precautions are taken to
reduce prolonged exposure when operating directly in front of the antenna
area.

2 System Overview
The WiMag system is made up of a number of key components, each of which plays an
important part. The heart of the WiMag system is a wireless magnetometer sensor, which
is installed just beneath the surface of the road. The sensor monitors the background
magnetic flux, and the disturbances of the magnetic flux caused by vehicles are then
detected. The sensor passes the detect information wirelessly back through to an access
point. The information is then passed via an interface card to a traffic controller.
Note: The WiMag system vehicle detection latency is more than the SDE
requirement of 2ms. So the WiMag system cannot be used to provide vehicle
detections for speed discrimination.
Two illustrative system diagrams (below) are provided for reference.

3 System Elements – Common WiMag Detection
Equipment
3.1 Magnetometer Sensor
The magnetometer sensor is a loop equivalent product that utilises disturbances in the
magnetic field to detect passing and/or stationary vehicles.
Figure 4 : Magnetometer Sensor
The sensor is a wireless in-road magnetometer. It has an inbuilt low-power wireless
transmitter/receiver and a dedicated battery. The battery is designed to have a life
expectancy of at least 10 years. The sensors will continuously self-calibrate so that the
earths magnetic fluctuations are always considered as part of the detection decision.
The magnetometer sensor is manufactured by Sensys Networks Inc. Siemens supply the
VSN240-F variant, which can be used for both road and stop-line applications.
Configuration of this device is performed through the access point (reference section 0
below).

3.3 Flex-AP Access Point
The access point is effectively a wireless gateway that maintains two-way wireless links
to the sensors and repeaters. It establishes overall time synchronization, transmits
configuration commands and message acknowledgements, and receives and processes
data from the sensors.
The access point has a wired connection (via a RJ45 connector) to relay the
magnetometer sensor detection data to a roadside traffic controller via an interface card.
Table 4 : Acccess Point (AP)
There are multiple variants of the access point that have been provided by the
manufacturer, Sensys Networks Inc, however Siemens supply the Flex-AP variant only.
The access point requires 48V supply, which is derived from a PoE interface, via an
appropriate street Ethernet cable.
