TDC1-PIR

Product catalog summary
Overview
The TDC1 Series by ADEC Technologies AG are advanced traffic detectors utilizing Passive Infrared (PIR) technology for single-lane traffic data acquisition. They provide comprehensive traffic data such as vehicle class, speed, length, occupancy time, and time gap via RS 485 databus.
Typical Applications
  • Vehicle counting (volume)
  • Individual vehicle speed measurement
  • Vehicle classification
  • Presence detection
Working Principle
The detectors use multiple PIR detection zones, combining static and dynamic channels to form five detection zones. They detect vehicles based on thermal radiation contrast against the road surface, converting analog sensor data into digital information without external computing.
Mounting Recommendations
Ideal mounting points include gantries, overpasses, bridges, or roadside poles. The system features multi-channel PIR detection, full temperature compensation, and algorithms to mitigate environmental impacts.
Features
  • Ultra low power consumption (≤ 60 mW)
  • Five detection zones
  • Vehicle classification by length (up to 5 classes)
  • Auto calibration using mounting height and lane distance
  • Wide mounting height range (5.5 m to 18 m)
  • Detection of standing and wrong-way vehicles
  • Wide operating temperature range (–40 to +70°C)
  • Remote configuration and setup
Technical Specifications
  • Supply Voltage: 5.5 – 30 V DC

TDC1-PIR-1

TDC1 SeriesLow-Power Non-Intrusive PIR Traffic Detectors for Single Lane Traffic Data Acquisition Features • Ultra low power consumption < 60 mW, ideal for solar powered installations • Multi channel PIR detection Total of five detection zones • Vehicle classification by length 3 standard classes, up to 5 vehicle classes possible (depending on customer length threshold setting) • Auto calibration Auto calibration using mounting height and distance to the centre of the observed lane via dedicated commissioning software • Wide mounting height range Mounting height between 5.5 m and 18 m (max. offset 45° from detector's mounting location to the centre of the observed lane), Application-dependent limitations apply. • Detection of standing vehicles • Detection of wrong-way drivers • Wide operating temperature range (-40 to +70°C (-40 to +158°F) Optimal performance in all weather and climate conditions • Remote configuration and setup With dedicated commissioning and installation software The TDC1 Series are advanced traffic detectors using Passive Infrared technology. Comprehensive traffic data including individual vehicle class, speed, length, occupancy time and time gap are provided via RS 485 databus. Typical Applications ADEC TDC1 Series detectors are specifically designed for a variety of Traffic Data Collection and traffic control applications where low power consumption is required: • Vehicle counting (volume) • Individual vehicle speed • Vehicle classification • Presence detection Working principle TDC1 traffic detectors employ multiple PIR detection zones. A combination of static and dynamic detection channels form a total of five detection zones. The thermal radiation contrast of a vehicle moving into or through the detection zones against the background radiation of the road surface correlates to the passage or presence of a vehicle. The sophisticated signal processing transforms the sensors analog data into digital information for each event without the need for external computing equipment. Mounting Recommended mounting points are gantries, overpasses or bridges or alternatively on a pole at the roadside. Clearly superior performance and reliability are a result of: • Multi-channel PIR detection • Full temperature compensation across entire temperature range • Sophisticated algorithms eliminating impact of environmental changes ADEC Technologies AG • Gublenstrasse 1 • CH-8733 Eschenbach SG^ Switzerland • www.adec-techno
