4.4 Accessories
4.4.1 DataCollector
The DataCollector is used for the parameterisation of the
SDR and for downloading data using the SD card.
A corresponding customer access to the website
www.myTrafficData.com is required for the generation of
setup files.
For exact information on how to operate the DataCollector,
please refer to the instructions enclosed with the
DataCollector.
4.4.2 Card Reader
The card reader allows you to read the SD card of the

Our installation system allows mounting of the SDR on poles, trees, buildings, etc. When
choosing the installation location for the SDR you must make sure that no objects such as trees,
buildings, etc. block the SDR’s “view” of the road.
The following requirements must be observed during installation of SDR:
Technical requirement
Installation height min.1m up to max. 2m min.1m up to max. 8m
Roadside from edge of traffic lane min.1m up to max. 3m min.1m up to max. 10m

The horizontal alignment can also be made with the Laser45. This optional accessory allows
the user to easily, quickly and precisely set the important 45° angle as precisely as possible.
(i) Caution! Before starting the adjustment process, make sure to disconnect the SDR
electronic from the power source.
(ii) According to the assembly drawing (see below), measure the distance (d
assembly position of the SDR and the road markings and position a reflector (d
) between the

identical spacing some distance away (10m to 15m).
(iii) Attach Laser45 using a vacuum cup to the front side of the radar unit or to the
Smartbracket and fix it. Switch the Laser45 on by turning the wing screw and focus the
direction of the reflector roughly by tilting the laser guidance (elevation).
(iv) Now align the rotatable combination of Laser45, SDR and / or Smartbracket such that the
laser beam strikes the reflector positione some distance away. This ensures a very
precise 45° alignment.
(v) Finally tighten the assembly screws of the Smartbracket and if necessary hook in the
SDR box and lock it.

Vertical alignment
The vertical angle depends on the installation height of the SDR.
At a height of 1 m the correct angle is 90°. The angle becomes smaller as the installation height
increases. The angle range goes from 45°-90°.
Should the installation height vary you can calculate the correct vertical angle via myTD – see
chapter 10.
Vertical alignment with use of a DataCollector:
ATTENTION! Configuration of an SDR via DataCollector is subject to the restriction that it
cannot be installed higher than 2.0m (6,6 feet). The vertical angle remains 90°.

8 Commissioning
8.1 Power supply via AkkuPack
Please refer to the enclosed AkkuPack instruction for the
maintenance and loading technology for the AkkuPack.
The standard size of the SDR accommodates enough
space for the AkkuPack, which has a battery operating
time which is up to 12 days (at a surrounding temperatur
of 20°).
For the installation of the AkkuPack inside of the SDR
case first open the load securing strap. Afterwards please
insert the AkkuPack in the opening and fasten the strap by
pulling.
Should you wish to double the battery operating time,
DataCollect offers the opportunity to increase the size of
the case, so that two AkkuPacks can be inserted.
8.2 Power supply via PowerUnit
For the installation instructions of the PowerUnit, please
refer to the enclosed commissioning instructions.
To laterally insert the PowerUnit into the deep
SmartBracket, first remove the cross bar from the
SmartBracket and then push the PowerUnit into the clear
opening.
