1 FOREWORD
The Capacity Kit is a device designed to count vehicles entering one or more
areas. It features digital inputs, relay outputs and open-collector outputs. In-
puts, whose signals usually come from magnetic loop detectors, can be associ-
ated in various ways with one of 5 area counters. Outputs are activated when an
area counter reaches a programmable threshold. For example, a traffic light can
be switched to red when an area is full.
The board features:
10 digital inputs for detection devices (magnetic loop detectors, pho-
tocells, etc.)
4 relay outputs
1 open-collector output
LCD display with 4 lines x 20 characters
12-key matrix keypad
2 SPECIFICATIONS
Power supply................................................: 220V AC ± 10%
Maximum current demand..........................: 100 VA
Dimensions......................................................: HxWxD 310x210x120
Operating temperature range...................: 0 °C +45 °C
3 ASSEMBLY
The board can be wall mounted.
If it needs to be fitted with the cable entries facing up, the front can still be kept
the right way round by removing the plastic parts that will hinge the door and
are snapped on.
Route the display and keypad cables carefully and make sure that there is no
mechanical interference with the transformer.
Avoid placing the board near sources of heat or in damp places.

5 BOARD CONFIGURATION (FIGURE 1)
The board must be configured via dip switch settings before the station is pow-
ered.

The operating mode is factory set to Stand Alone (S.A.).
The dip switches must be left with these settings.

USER GUIDE
6 PROGRAMMING
6.1
Count mode
There are 2 count modes:
Single input
Double loop
6.1.1
Single-input count
The count is made using a single input. Every 'no vehicle detected-vehicle de-
tected-no vehicle detected' cycle on an input causes one or more counters to
increase or decrease. This type of setup can be used when vehicles can pass
through the entrance/exit point in one direction only and has the advantage of
taking up just one input. See Example 1
6.1.2
Double-input count
The count is made using two inputs for each entrance/exit point. Every input-
triggering cycle - first, both, second only - causes a counter to increase or de-
crease. This type of setup can be used when vehicles can pass through the en-
trance/exit point in both directions, one at a time. It has the disadvantage of
taking up two inputs. In the event vehicle passage is detected by means of loops
and detectors, care must be taken to arrange the loops so that they will defi-
nitely be driven over by the vehicles, that they are close enough to minimize the
possibility of 2 vehicles passing over them at the same time, and far enough
apart not to trigger a reaction between the loops. See Example 2
6.2
Combination of counters
Each loop or pair of loops can operate one or more counters, increasing or de-
creasing them. For example, they can count the vehicles' passage from one area
to another, or a super-area can be created comprising one or more areas. See
Example 3
6.3
Input configuration
To determine the inputs' operating mode and their association with the count-
ers, enter the key sequence * 7 1 n #, where n - in the range 1 to 5 - indicates
the pair of inputs 1:A-B, 2:C-D, 3:E-F, 4:G-H, 5:I-J respectively.
Inputs C-D
C 1 2 3 4 5
D 1 2 3 4 5
+
The flashing cursor moves to the word Single or Pair. Press the * key to toggle
between the count with just one input Single and the count with double inputs
Pair.
Press the # key to carry on setting the counters.
Single input
The flashing cursor moves to the last line against the first counter '1' relating to
the first input (E.g. C). Press the * key to set it up as entry into the area '+'; exit
from the area '-'; or ' ' for no operation. Press the # key to proceed to the next
counter. Once you reach counter number 5, the next step is to configure the
second input in the pair (E.g. D), which is done following the same procedure.
Double input
The flashing cursor moves to the last line against the first counter '1' relating to
the direction of travel: first input, second input (E.g. CD). Press the * key to set
it up as entry into the area '+'; exit from the area '-'; or ' ' for no operation. Press
the # key to proceed to the next counter. Once you reach counter number 5,
the next step is to configure the reverse direction of travel, second input, first
input (E.g. DC), which is done following the same procedure.
6.4
Counter configuration
The key sequence * 7 3 n #, where n - in the range 1 to 5 - indicates the number
of the counter, calls up the counter definition screen.
Area 2
Maximum
Threshold
Hysteresis
In this example, the maximum value set for area 2 is 155: once this value is
reached, additional increase impulses will not have any effect.
The threshold is set to 140: this means that the associated output will be closed
when the count goes from 139 to 140.
Hysteresis set to 4 means that once the output has been triggered, the counter
must drop to 136 (140-4) before the output will open.
In this case, values are entered directly using the numeric keys and the # key is
used to move from one field to the next. If there is an error, repeat the proce-
dure.
