CHAPTER 8 ZONES & CHANNELS

Figure 8.12 – Output Settings (Normal, Counting, Pulse)

˽

Detector Input – The Detector Input number provides a way for you to map inputs to

the intersection phase in the controller. By default, the Detector Input will be set to

“00;” if the input is left at “00,” then it is unassigned. This setting is for reference pur-

poses only and does not actually change the sensor.

˽

Phase – Since the SmartSensor Matrix is capable of monitoring more than one phase,

this setting allows you to enter the phase number that most closely represents the phase

the sensor is monitoring. By default, the Phase will be set to “00;” if the phase is left

at “00,” then it is unassigned. This setting is for reference purposes only and does not

actually change sensor operation.

˽

Channel Type – This drop-down list allows you to select the type of channel (Normal,

Counting or Pulse). A normal channel is presence detection; a counting channel is

a special pulse based on counting algorithms; and a pulse channel is a generic pulse

based on zone presence.

˽

Invert – This option allows the channel output to be inverted (i.e. channel output de-

faults to on, then switches off when a vehicle is detected).

˽

Min/Max Speed – Use this option to select minnimum and maximum speeds for the

channel.

Output Settings

The extend and delay settings can also be specified using the Output Settings button. This

button will open a window that will allow you to select individual channels to edit and also

to specify the minimum pulse width and pulsed channel width (Figure 8.13). The minimum

pulse width is the minimum duration a presence detection will be signaled via the contact

closure rack cards. The pulsed channel width is the duration the contact closure message

lasts for a pulse or counting channel. All output settings are specified in seconds.
