2.2 Attaching the sensor to the bracket
1. Make sure that the switch is set to full duplex.
Note: Currently only full duplex sensors work with the
SRO.

2. Attach the SRO to the sensor using the screws.
3. Attach the bracket to the sensor using the provided
screws. Arrows on the figure indicate where the screws
should go.
Note: At the back of every sensor is a tag indicating the
product description, serial number and the top side of the
sensor
4. Strap the sensor onto the pole loosely to allow for azimuth
adjustments when necessary. With azimuth angle set
correctly, tighten the straps.
5. To tilt the sensor for correct elevation setting, loosen the
screws on either side of the bracket and adjust the
elevation setting.
6. Note: there is an angular scale at the bracket side with
increments of 2 degrees.
7. Once the desired elevation angle is obtained, secure the
sensor in place by tightening the screws.

2.3 Connecting Sensor to supplied cable set
Connect the banana plugs to a DC
power supply. Voltage range must be
within 24 –32V.
Red Plug = +24…32V
Black Plug = Ground.
2.3.1 RS485 Interface
1. Connect RS485 Pins to the DB-9
connector of the RS485-to-USB
converter
(RD_Caiman_Service_RS485-
USB_Moxa)
2. The USB connector of the RS485-to-
USB converter shall be plugged into
a free USB slot of your used
computer.
2.3.2 Ethernet Interface
1. Attach the Ethernet Connector into
the Ethernet-Port of your PC

3 Software Usage
3.1 RS485 Interface
Before using the RS485-to-USB converter it is necessary to install the driver first. The latest
version can be found on the homepage www.moxa.com/product/UPort_1130_1130I.htm.
You find the driver under “Drivers & Software”.
For installation follow the instructions from the manual. You can find the manual on the some
link under “Manual”.
Before starting the TMC
please check the Com-Port of
the RS485-to-USB-adaptor.
In the Windows Device
Manager COM and LPT-
Interface can be found the
actual Com-Port. Here it’s Port
6.
Also, before starting the TMC
please check, if the adaptor is
set to four wire mode.
In the Windows Device
Manager multiple
connection adapter UPort
1130 characteristics
Ports Configuration
If you configure a project in
TMC, you have to make sure
that you choose the correct
port number in the dropdown
box under the “Test”.
Otherwise a connection is not
possible.

3.2 Ethernet Interface
If you use your computer’s internal Ethernet port, you do not need to do any previous
installation. The most Ethernet to USB adapters are automatically recognized by Windows.
To communicate with the radar, you
have to configure the IP address and
subnet mask of your adaptor to
192.168.11.1 and 255.255.255.0.
After that you are ready to use the
TMC.

4 Determining the Sensor position
4.1 Build a model of the intersection or highway situation using the
TMC
This step happens in the office. Use a notebook PC.
At first, build a model of the intersection or highway. It can be based on CAD data, satellite
pictures or on-site measurements.
Please install the latest TMC software.
To download theTMConfigurator software, go to either
https://www.swarco.com/products/detection-sensors/traffic-light-systems/caiman-pro-m
or
https://www.swarco.com/products/detection-sensors/traffic-counting/caiman-pro-i
Click Downloads at the bottom of the page and chose TMConfigurator Installer to download
the software Traffic Management Configurator (multi-language).
After initial registration the software can beused. For each PC a new registration is necessary.
4.1.1 Finding the optimal mounting position
The sensor should be mounted to a stiff pole. For best performance we recommend a distance
of 35m to 70m to the stop bar or area of interest. If you like to use the existing infrastructure,
the following positions are possible:
A: On Vertical Pole (optimal position)
B: Adjacent to Luminaire
C: On Mast Arm
We recommend position A for best
performance, as a stiff and motion-free
mounting base is required. If the structural
conditions of the luminaire or the mast arm
allow a stiff attachment of the sensor,
position B and C are also possible
alternatives.
Note:
The sensor must be mounted on a stiff and solid support. Vibration, oscillation or
any kind of movement will reduce sensor performance.
