THE RADIX TRAFFIC BELOW GROUND VEHICLE DETECTOR. RTM MAGNETOMETER COMPONENTS. Radix Sensor RTM300 3-axis magnetometer technology monitors changes in the Earth’s magnetic field caused by vehicles passing over it.
E N D
RTM MAGNETOMETER COMPONENTS • Radix Sensor RTM300 • 3-axis magnetometer technology monitors changes in the Earth’s magnetic field caused by vehicles passing over it. • The processor interprets these changes and determines whether to indicate a detection event based on sensitivity settings and other criteria. • Rugged IP68 rated cylindrical housing, nominally only 18mm diameter. Draw cord can be fitted to the housing for easy and quick retrieval. • 2-wire connection back to RTM500 Interface Card located at Signal Controller via new or existing loop feeder cable.
RTM MAGNETOMETER COMPONENTS • Radix Interface Card RTM500 • Standard 3U Eurocard rack mounting into TR2512 detector backplane. • Delivers power, signals, sensitivity and other parameters to, and receives detection event data from, the RTM300 sensor. • Each RTM500 card supports connection of up to four RTM300 sensors. • Front panel detect & fault LEDs switch off after a pre-determined time to save power and are restored by a quick press of the reset button. • User selectable front panel switches to select sensitivities and presence times for each sensor channel.

INSTALLATION • The RTM300 Sensor is installed into cross carriageway ducting. • Ducts may be existing cable ducts at suitable road crossing points, or dedicated narrow bore ducts located nearer the surface. • Depending on the choice of duct diameter, it is possible to fit multiple sensors in one duct for detection in individual lanes. • Draw cords should be attached to each sensor to allow easy adjustment/removal.
INSTALLATION • The RTM300 Sensor is connected to the RTM500 Interface Card back inside the Traffic Controller using a 2-wire system via existing legacy or new loop feeder cable. • Connection to the feeder is made in the conventional manner and the use of a re-usable bottle joint is recommended for this purpose.
INSTALLATION • The RTM500 Interface Card is installed into a Standard 3U Eurocard Rack inside the Traffic Controller. • It is the same size as a standard loop detector card and fits into a standard TR2512 backplane.
SUMMARY The Radix RTM Magnetometer Vehicle Detector offers customers significant life cost savings over other below ground detection solutions.
