1.VIS-CAM System Installation Manual
1 Introduction
1.1 Document Overview
This document describes the steps necessary to deploy an installation of the JAI Vehicle Imaging Subsystem, described as VIS from this point forward.
This manual also contains information about maintenance, troubleshooting and RMA (Return Material Authorization) procedures.
JAI strongly recommends that the installer read this manual thoroughly, in order to obtain sufficient knowledge about the VIS equipment, before initiating the actual installation.
1.2 Product overview
The JAI VIS consists of the following components:
• TLS-300 Traffic light sensor.
• The VIS Camera, comprised of an EN- camera with zoom-lens or fixed focal length lens, and an
anti-glare filter, a weatherproof housing with sun shield, heater resistors, interconnection PCB, and a pan-tilt-roll mounting bracket.
• TNF-31 Flash unit or optional TNC-60 permanent illumination.
• VJP-300 EN-Junction panel with terminal blocks and RJ-45 connectors
and embedded diagnostics Features
• RS485-to-Ethernet Converter
• System interconnection cables
• Optional gigabit Ethernet switch
• Optional 24V DC Power Supply
• Optional Laser Vehicle Trigger
• ENSetup Program
• Installation Documentation
Introduction 1
Figure 1. VIS elements
1.3 System Components description
1.3.1 Traffic Light Sensor – TLS300
The JAI traffic light sensor is the driver of the VIS control network. It controls video signal parameters of each camera to ensure high contrast images of passing vehicles and their license plates, regardless of vehicle speed, weather or ambient light conditions.
Under the clear plastic dome of the traffic light sensor are mounted, in opposing directions, two vertical plates and corresponding light collection staffs that protrude above a flat black base plate. The sensor measures the ambient light reflecting off the face of both vertical plates. The design is such that when the face of one plate is in direct sun, the other one is in shadow. These two measurements identify the range of light levels that the camera is required to image without saturation when a vehicle and its license plate are in the camera’s field of view (FOV). To ensure correct functionality of the TLS-300, it is very important to ensure during installation, that the sensor’s base plate is levelled with the road surface, and that the orientation of the sensor is rotated so that the direction from the vertical plate A to vertical plate B is the same as the direction of the traffic flow being observed by the traffic camera (see Figure 2).
2 Preparing for Installation
Figure 2. Back shot VIS installation.
The TLS-300 light sensor is an essential component that ensures the VIS cameras will be ready to capture high quality images of any vehicle and its license plate in virtually all weather and light conditions.
It is very important to ensure that sensor positioning closely resembles real road conditions where the vehicle image is most likely to be captured.
The light sensor is connected by means of the J-Panel VJP-300 and an RS485-to-Ethernet converter to the Ethernet switch.
1.3.2 VISCAM
The VISCAM uses a state-of-the-art progressive interline transfer CCD that captures all of the vertical resolution at once, thereby eliminating field-to-field imaging delays. The use of progressive scanning allows the camera to freeze the motion of a rapidly moving vehicle at high resolution.
The VISCAM 300 houses a JAI TS-9720EN, the VISCAM 350 houses a JAI TS-1327EN, and the VISCAM 400 houses the TS-2030EN Ethernet camera with a built in IBM Power PC using an embedded Linux O/S and 64Mb memory for various operations, such as frame store, JPEG compression, vehicle fingerprint extraction, license plate find, running applications, and so on.
When the TLS-300 Traffic Light Sensor is used to control the VISCAM exposure settings, no moving parts (such as an auto-iris lens) are included in the VIS system. This helps ensure high reliability for the system.
A 12.5 mm to 75 mm manual zoom lens is provided as a standard with the VISCAM 300. This allows the VISCAM to be mounted in a wide range of positions while ensuring sufficient resolution on the vehicle license plates. A 35 mm fixed focal length lens is provided standard with the VISCAM 400. A zoom lens is also available as an option. An anti-glare polarizing filter is mounted in front of the lens to reduce smear in the picture caused by sun glints.

1.3.3 Illumination
1.3.3 (a) TNF-31 Flash
The TNF-31 Flash generates light in wavelengths that are invisible to the human eye, but visible to the camera. This makes the flash suitable for illuminating both oncoming and receding views of traffic. Unlike near-infrared illuminators, the TNF-31 yields high contrast images of license plates even if they have red characters on white or yellow backgrounds.
The TNF-31 Flash is automatically enabled whenever the TLS-300 Light Sensor determines that ambient light is insufficient to produce a picture of usable quality. When the TNF-31 is enabled, it fires every time the vehicle detector triggers the camera.
1.3.3 (b) White light LED.
JAI offers White LEDs mounted inside the camera enclosure. This option is usually employed when certain rare color combinations on license plates do not yield sufficient contrast with the TNF-31 Flash option alone.
1.3.4 VJP-300 Junction Panel.
The VIS J-Panel is the central connection point for the VIS components. The J-Panel is a DIN-Rail mounted PCB equipped with various interface terminals for interconnection of the VIS components; this can be Ethernet connection, serial connection, TTL trigger feed and power supply. It offers the possibility of manually selecting trigger polarity to the camera. Furthermore the J-Panel is equipped with status LED’s and trigger switches for diagnostics and troubleshooting purposes.
1.3.5 RS485 Device Server.
The MOXA RS485 Device Server enables connection of RS485 serial devices to the Ethernet. The purpose for the MOXA RS485 Device Server in the VIS system is to convert Ethernet to RS485 communication for the TLS-300 Light Sensor.
1.3.6 ENSetup Program.
The ENSetup Program is an Ethernet based software tool specifically designed to assist the installer with VIS installation, and EN-Camera configuration and diagnostics. The program runs on a standard PC / Laptop with Windows XP installed. Refer to Section 4 on page 31 of this manual and the VISCAM 300/400 EN Setup Manual for details.
1.4 Operational Overview.
During installation, the VISCAM and the optional light source are aimed at the area of the road where vehicles and their license plates are most likely to pass through. The Traffic Light Sensor continually registers the ambient light. The camera uses this information to set up exposure variables to ensure an optimal image of the vehicle and license plate. During transition from day to night the camera enables the optional TNF-31 Flash and/or white light LED’s to secure adequate image quality during low ambient light conditions.
1.4.1 Trigger Mode
• A vehicle passes by a vehicle detector, sending a trigger to the VIS.
• The VIS employs a trigger to snap a video image of the vehicle and license plate when they are
optimally positioned in the camera field of view.
• The optional flash, if used, fires simultaneously with the camera to ensure correct exposure for
the image if the ambient lightning is too low.

2.1 Installation Preparation
To prepare for installation, consider the fundamental requirements for an effective deployment of the Vehicle Imaging Subsystem. There are two basic ways to position the camera: over the lane or beside the lane. Figure 3 and Figure 4 depict a typical over-lane installation. Figure 7 and Figure 8 on page 13 depict a typical beside-lane camera installation.
2.1.1 Over Lane Positioning
Over lane camera mounting is always employed when the road width being monitored contains more than two lanes of traffic, when a convenient overhead structure is already in place, or when preventing vandalism is a paramount concern.
The VIS’s varifocal (zoom) lens is adjusted during installation to create 135 pixels across a 1
foot wide license plate (standard for US style of plates, may differ by region) placed 2 feet above the ground level at the nominal trigger position (loop or light curtain, etc.). This resolution maximizes license plate reader, vehicl e matcher, or other image processing techniques performance. The highest performan ce from the subsystem is achieved when the variation in plate size is kept to within ± 5% which typically means that the vehicle trigger accuracy should be within ± 1 foot (@ trigger plane defined by client.) at all speeds. Low latency vehicle triggering is very important and should not be overlooked. Please contact JAI for support on this issue.
Figure 3. Typical Over Lane Site Layout
Preparing for Installation 5
Figure 4. Typical Over Lane Site Layout Plan.
2.1.1 (a) Camera tilt considerations
The requirement to freeze the motion of high-speed vehicles limits how steep or shallow the tilt angle of the camera may be. For example, it is important to prevent the horizon from appearing in the image, and thereby allowing the sun to blind the camera. For over lane installations, a camera tilt between 20° to 30° is recommended–with 25° being considered the optimal angle. This angle of tilt is the best compromise between minimizing visibility blockages caused by closely spaced vehicles and maximizing plate visibility for plate mounts that are slightly recessed or tilted downwards.
2.1.1 (b) Asynchronous triggering considerations
When the VIS is operated in trigger mode, a vehicle detector is employed to cause the camera to capture an image at the precise moment the vehicle is in the best position to image both the vehicle and its license plate. The delay between the time the vehicle passes the trigger position on the road and when the trigger signal actually reaches the VIS must be kept to a minimum to prevent high-speed vehicles from moving out of the area viewed by the camera before the image is snapped.
2.1.1 (c) Camera height versus trigger distance considerations
It is critically important, to select the correct distance between the camera and the location on the road where the camera is triggered to capture an image. Minimizing the cost of installation is usually also an important concern. This means that whenever possible, it is best to use existing structures or previously installed elements. The following charts (Figure 5 and Figure 6) provide a wide range of trade-offs between camera height and trigger distance to enable the installer to select convenient camera and light sensor locations relative to existing mounting structures and vehicle trigger locations. Adhering to the installation options provided in the installation charts, yields camera images that are generally suitable for automatic license plate readers (ALPR).
To use the charts correctly, please follow the steps below.
1. First measure the height above the road to convenient camera mounting locations.
2. Measure the distance along the road from directly beneath each candidate camera position to
convenient trigger locations.
6 Preparing for Installation
3. Select the appropriate installation chart for either USA or European style license plates. To
obtain charts for license plates from other countries, please contact the JAI ITS division directly at (+1) 408 7470 300 – 102.
4. Plot the candidate camera-height / trigger-distance pairs on the chart and determine if the
selected location lies within the wedge of recommended values.
5. If several locations are suitable, choose the one that yields the greatest overall slant range
between camera and trigger location.
The standard VISCAM unit is equipped with a 25 – 75 mm zoom lens. This lens provides the full range of camera height and trigger distance listed in the installation charts.

Generally the flash head must be separated from the camera by a radial distance of at least three and a half feet (1.2 meters).
If the flash is positioned closer to the camera, reflections from the license plate will cause overexposure.
If possible, position the flash head in level with the reference plane shown in Figure 9. This plane is in level with the top surface of the camera enclosure, but slices through the center of the lens.

3 Installing the Vehicle Imaging System
The individual components of the system is electrically linked together as shown in Figure 1, “VIS elements,” on page 2. The VIS CAM 300/400 camera has connections to the J-Panel and an optional Flash, Night Light and Laser Vehicle Detector. The J-Panel has connection to two VIS CAM 300/400 cameras, one Traffic Light Sensor, a 24V Power Supply, a Lane Controller, a RS485-to-ethernet converter for the light sensor signals, Trigger input, an optionally second J-Panel and finally a gigabit Ethernet switch.
3.1 Installing the TNF-300 Traffic Light Sensor.
When installing the Traffic Light Sensor ensure the unit is positioned higher than either the camera or the flash unit so the A-side is in direct sun whenever the targeted vehicles license plates are. See Section 2.1 on page 6 for general site layout guidelines.
It is extremely important the light sensor be properly positioned at the site. The light sensor must be placed so that no shadows from surrounding structures are cast on side A when the license plates being imaged by the VISCAM are in direct sunlight.
Because sun angles at any given site can change according to time of day and time of year, it is important to verify that the proposed setup will function on the actual spot.
3.1.1 To install the Traffic Light Sensor:
1. Disconnect Power
2. Loosen the four hex screws and remove the flange from the mounting base. See Figure 10.

Requirements
5. The jacket is removed from the cable in the camera end and the wires are stripped as shown in the
Figure 16 below. There are two sets of four twisted pairs. Four of the pairs are for ethernet signals. These pairs are individually foil shielded and have a common braid shield. The other four pairs are individually foil shielded without the common braid shield. The shield on the Ethernet pairs must be run as close to the connector as possible. All wires must be stripped for insulation app. 7mm.
Figure 16. Camera cabling as it appears before electrical installation.
6. The cable is separated into the Ethernet part (with the braid shield) and the power and control

32 Installing the Vehicle Imaging Subsystem
4 System Set-Up
This section provides a generic procedure for aligning one or more VIS CAM 300/400 cameras and their associated equipment at a site. If you received a specific installation manual from JAI for your project then follow those instructions instead of the procedure described here.
The example installation process described in this section assumes that:
• The cameras are being mounted on an overhead structure directly over the lane(s) being
observed. The process for aligning a camera mounted at the side of a lane is essentially the same as aligning a single camera mounted directly over the lane.
• The site employs an accurate vehicle detection device that outputs a discrete TTL signal to the
VIS system whenever the back (or front) of a vehicle crosses a fixed line across the road. This line is referred to as the “trigger line” in this document. Examples of such triggering devices are: Peak’s trafficLoop, STI’s Vehicle Detector light curtain, and JAI’s Laser Vehicle Detector.
• License plate reading or vehicle matching is performed on the images produced by the VIS
system. In these cases, precise location and alignment of the cameras is critical to project success. If the VIS images are only for human interpretation, then achieving the exact camera alignment is much less critical.
• The installer is familiar with using the ENSetup program supplied by JAI. Please refer to the
ENSetup Program User’s Guide if you are unfamiliar with this software. JAI offers engineering support and software tools to help select the optimum camera and trigger locations to meet your specific project needs. Contact ITS Engineering Support at (408) 383-0300 for further information about obtaining JAI assistance.
4.1 Preparation for Alignment
4.1.1 Pre-Alignment Checklist
• Make sure you have a JAI supplied setup computer with the ENSetup program installed.
• The Setup computer needs to have an Ethernet network adapter installed (preferably 1 Gigabit
Ethernet Adapter) and the TCP/IP network configured with the correct IP-address, subnet-mask and default-gateway.
• The Setup computer and the cameras need to be on the same subnet. The cameras are shipped
with the standard IP-address “10.0.0.65” and subnet-address “255.255.255.0”, and the Setup computer needs to be assigned an IP-address “10.0.0.xx” in order to automatically discover the cameras using the ENSetup program (NB! “xx” must not be “65”).
• All cameras have to be given unique IP-addresses before the alignment begins. This is done using
the ENSetup application.
• Confirm all VIS CAM components and cables are properly connected.
System Set-Up 33
4.1.2 Select a Suitable Vehicle, License Plate, and Plate Stand for the Setup
To accurately set up the Vehicle Imaging Subsystem, the system installers need access to:
1. A vehicle that can be temporarily parked on the road
2. A plate that is: a. typical in size and color for the site b. clean, flat and in “like new” condition
3. An adjustable plate stand that allows the plate to be mounted in a vertical plane, at various heights above the road, and at variable roll angles. The stand must allow the plate to be placed at both the nominal plate height and the minimum expected plate height. The stand must also allow the plate to be rolled at least + or – 10 degrees from horizontal but held firmly in place once a specific roll angle is selected. The stand should be heavy enough so that the wind will not blow it over or move it.
Table 12 Typical minimum plate heights and nominal plate heights:
Plate Height Front of Vehicle
minimum (bottom edge) 8in or 20cm

4.1.3 Select the Camera to Align
• If the site employs a single camera per lane, then you can choose any lane to start the
alignment procedure.
• If the site employs multiple cameras regularly spaced across a roadway to provide continuous
fieldof- view coverage from edge to edge, select one of the cameras at either edge of the roadway to be the first camera to align.
• Align all remaining cameras in order from the first camera aligned to the last camera at the
other side of the roadway. The next camera aligned is always the one adjacent to the camera most recently aligned.
4.1.4 Validate the Installation Geometry
The VIS cameras and vehicle trigger line should have been installed at the locations agreed to by you and JAI. Typically JAI utilizes a specially developed Excel worksheet to confirm the suitability of the equipment placement at the site from an image processing perspective. See Figure for an example worksheet. However, equipment is often not located where the worksheet specifies. It is therefore imperative that the actual equipment layout at any given site be measured to verify that the cameras and trigger are located at the desired locations relative to each other. If necessary, move the camera/trigger positions until the distances required in the worksheet are met. If it is not possible to move the equipment to the required locations, then the impact of any changes to the subsequent image processing must be assessed. Enter the actual camera locations into the Input section of the JAI worksheet and then note the changes in the Results section. If there are any questions about the suitability of a specific camera/trigger layout, contact your JAI representative for advice.
4.1.5 Edit the alignment settings on the Setup Computer
In order to carry out the alignment properly, the ENSetup program has to be configured with two values from the worksheet. See the ENSetup Program User’s Guide (Video Window Setup section) for details on changing Video Window properties.
Using the ENSetup program, make sure the “tilt line” and “plate num cols” items on your Portable Setup computer are exactly the same as the measurements, including the proper plate size parameters measured in Section 4.1.4, “Validate the Installation Geometry,” on page 32. All other
34 System Set-Up
camera settings should already be correct for the site installation, but it is a good idea to verify that this is true before proceeding. The Setup Computer is now properly configured to support lens adjustments and camera aiming.
4.1.6 Connect the Setup Computer to the Camera
• Position the Setup Computer next to the camera being aligned. If the alignment is conducted in
bright sunlight, shield the monitor screen with a hood to make it visible. Make sure that no portion of the computer or cables interfere with the camera’s view of the road.
• Connect the Setup Computer’s network adapter with the camera network. This can be done
directly to the I/O boards X1 and X3 connectors or using a local Ethernet switch. It is preferable to use a local Ethernet switch instead of a local direct connection to the I/O board. A direct connection between the Setup computer and the camera will disconnect the camera from the site LAN and thereby disconnect the light sensor as well.
Figure 30. Example of a network connection using a local switch.
The network connection between the Setup computer and the camera can be established using a local switch. Two separate ports of the Ethernet Switch are connected directly to the I/O board connectors X1 and X3. The Setup computer is then also connected to one of the free ports on the switch. If the switch is running on 24V dc, the I/O board is capable of supplying up to 0.5A on connector X15 located next to X1 and X3. The pin marked with #1 on X15 is +24V dc.
System Set-Up 35
4.1.7 Drive and Park the Setup Vehicle Correctly
• Drive the setup vehicle slowly towards the trigger line through the center of the cameras field
of view in the same manner (heading) as a typical driver would occupy this lane.
Note: This is important, make sure that the vehicle is driven exactly the same way as the average
driver would through the section of roadway being viewed by the camera.
• Stop the vehicle approximately one foot (0.3 meter) past the trigger line. Make sure that the
vehicle is parked aimed in the same direction as the average driver would point their car if they were driving through this section of roadway.
• To help the driver of the vehicle properly aim the car while driving, instruct him (or her) to
always look forward down the road as they would normally. Use a sound to signal the driver when to stop.
4.1.8 Properly Position the License Plate Stand
Using your portable plate stand, position a license plate:
• at the minimum expected trigger distance from the camera.
• at the minimum expected plate height above the road.
• at the location along the trigger line where the center of the horizontal field-of-view of this
camera is desired.
Rotate the plate on the stand until the top and bottom edges are level with the vehicle parked behind the trigger line (to within a + or – a couple of degrees). Secure the plate on the plate stand so that the adjustments you have just made do not change.
4.1.9 Perform Initial Lens Adjustment and Camera Aiming
1. Back away all of the thumbscrews on the lens holder until they do not touch the knurled adjustment rings on the lens.
2. Make sure the lens aperture adjustment is fully open (rotate the third ring from the front of the lens fully counter-clockwise until it stops at the f1.2 setting). Secure the thumbscrew that lines up with the aperture ring until it just presses against the ring. Next tighten the thumbscrew that lines up with the knurled ring closest to the camera body until it just presses against the lens. Do not tighten any Lens Holder thumbscrews beyond a slight pressure against the lens.
3. Loosen the roll, pan, and tilt bolts on the JAI camera mounting head until each axis can be easily adjusted by hand but any particular setting will stay in place after you let go.
4. Power on the Setup computer and then start the ENSetup program. Press the “Video Window” button to open the Video Window and then select the camera for adjustment from the tree-view on the left side of the window. Press the “Live” button in the toolbar to start the video streaming. Press the “Tilt Line” button to show the alignment guidelines. The “Tilt Line” can be moved using the mouse, or if the “Tilt Line” is selected, using the arrow-keys.
5. Interactively adjust the roll, pan, and tilt of the camera mount and the lens zoom and focus rings:
6. Adjust the lens focus ring (and camera pan and tilt as necessary) to obtain a focused image of the plate on the plate stand. If at any time you cannot fully focus the plate because the focus ring on the lens has reached the end of its turning movement, perform the back-focus procedure described in the JAI document titled “Zoom Lens Back-Focus Procedure.”
36 System Set-Up
7. Adjust the lens zoom ring to obtain a plate width approximately equal to the distance between the short vertical sizing marks that appear above the tilt line. Readjust focus as necessary. See Figure 31 for more information.
Figure 31. Initial Camera Alignment Display example.
8. Turn on the “Roll Bar” display on the Setup computer and then roll the camera mount until the horizontal bumper and trunk seams on the vehicle appear perfectly level with the horizontal line of the display. Use one 7/16" closed-end wrench on the roll gear to fine-tune the roll angle. Hold the roll position with the wrench while you use a second wrench to gently tighten the other roll bolts. Then apply both wrenches to corresponding bolts on opposite sides of the mount. Twisting in opposite directions to fully secure all of the roll bolts. This approach prevents the roll adjustment from changing while you tighten the bolts. See Figure 32.
System Set-Up 37
Figure 32. Roll Bar Display example.
Pan the camera mount until the plate stand is centered under the default position of the vertical line in the middle of the “Roll Bar” display. Securely tighten the pan bolt. Be careful not to change the pan of the camera while you tighten the bolt. Oppositely twisting two 9/16" closed-end wrenches is recommended (one for the bolt head and one for the nut) to help prevent the pan from moving while you tighten the bolt.
Switch back to the “Tilt Line” display. Tilt the camera mount until the plate is positioned just above the tilt line. Re-adjust the zoom as necessary until the plate just fits in between the zoom markers on the “Tilt Line”. Changing zoom usually requires that the tilt adjustment be modified also. Do not tighten the Tilt bolts until after the final lens adjustment. See Figure 33.
38 System Set-Up
Figure 33. Readjustment of camera tilt and zoom display.
The camera mount and lens are now ready for final adjustment.
4.1.10 Finalize Lens Adjustments and Camera Aiming
4.1.10 (a) Reposition the License Plate Stand at the Nominal Trigger Line
Use your portable plate stand to position the license plate:
1. at the normally expected (nominal) trigger distance from the camera.
2. at the nominal plate height above the road.
3. at the location along the trigger line where the center of the horizontal field-of-view of this camera is desired.
Rotate the plate on the stand until the top and bottom edges are perfectly level with the vehicle parked behind the trigger line. Secure the plate on the plate stand so that the adjustments you have just made do not change.
4.1.10 (b) Perform Final Camera Mount and Lens Adjustments
The final focus adjustment is facilitated using the “Focus Bar” display on the Video Window. Press the “Focus Bar” button on the toolbar. This displays a “Focus Bar” marker on the Video Window that will open a separate “Focus Bar” window where the pixel-values taken from the focus bar marker is displayed. The “Focus Bar” marker cam be moved with the mouse pointer, or if the “Focus Bar” marker is selected, using the arrow-keys.
1. Position the “Focus Bar” marker directly over the license plate.
System Set-Up 39
Figure 34. Focus Bar marker display.
2. Adjust the lens zoom ring until the plate width just barely fits in between the short vertical zoom markers on the display.
3. Have your assistant tape the lens front-focus chart to the stand so that it appears in-between the zoom markers. Make sure the black and white bars are vertical in the image.
4. Carefully adjust the lens focus ring until the focus bar waveform display is maximized in amplitude spread. The “Focus percentage” display shown on the left side of the “Focus Bar Waveform” window should then be maximized when the picture has got the best focus. If necessary, readjust the zoom and focus until the width of the plate is just inside the zoom markers and the waveform spread of the bars is maximized.
40 System Set-Up
Figure 35. Focus Bar Waveform display.
5. Gently snug the zoom and focus lens holder thumbscrews against the lens without changing any of the lens settings.
6. Uncover the license plate by removing the lens focus chart.
7. Use the mouse to move the waveform cursors to the top and bottom of the waveform amplitude variation. The “Black Cursor” is located at the bottom of the waveform display, and the “White Cursor” is located on the top of the waveform display.
8. Verify that the waveform amplitude variation (for characters in both direct light and shadow, if possible) is at least 25 and that no portion of the waveform fully saturates either black or white.
System Set-Up 41
Figure 36. Focus Bar Waveform Display with waveform cursors.
9. Use one hand to carefully hold the focus ring of the lens in place while you rotate the filter ring on the very front of the lens with your other hand. Turn the filter ring until the white mark on the ring is oriented straight up (or down). Secure the filter ring in place with a small dab of RTV glue.
10. Printout the image of the screen using the “File -> Print…” menus on both the “Video Window” and the “Focus Bar Waveform” windows to document the settings. If no printers are connected, the “PDFCreator” printer driver can be used to save the pictures as PDF-files.
11. Have your assistant move the plate stand back to the near trigger line and re-position the plate at the minimum plate height.
12. Drive the setup vehicle slowly towards the trigger line in the same heading as normal traffic flow and center it directly between the camera being aligned and the adjacent camera that has already been aligned. Marking the position halfway between adjacent cameras at the trigger line with some marker is advisable to help the driver properly aim the vehicle.
13. Park the vehicle at the location where it just barely causes the trigger to cause an image to be captured. For loop triggers, park the vehicle where a vehicle would normally be located when the loop trigger signals the VIS to capture an image.
4.1.11 Flash Head Alignment
The following section provides a general procedure to align the VIS flash head. Be sure to follow any specific alignment procedure provided with your system.
Align the flash head at night and after aligning the cameras. Park a light colored vehicle underneath the camera and where the vehicle detector triggers the camera.

6.7.1 Functionality
The J-Panel has one input for 24V DC (X6). There is one unfused output (X7) and four fused outputs for Camera 0 (connector X1, fused 2A), Camera 1 (connector X2, fused 2A), Light Sensor (connector X3, fused 2A) and RS485-to-ethernet Converter (connector X8, fused 300mA).
It is possible to reset all fuses and they also reset automatically (PTC type) after removal of excessive load. The three power LED indicators are electrically located between the fuse and connector and the status of the fuse is therefore indicated on the LED: when the LED is green the load is ok, when the LED is red an overload condition is present.

6.12.1 Functionality
The signal path for the Lane Controller is shown in Figure 83. The signal lines symbolizes the two balanced RS485 wires.
6.12.1 (a) Common Lane Controller
If one lane controller is to be connected to camera 0 and camera 1, LC DATA terminals labelled D0 on X15 is used.
The signal runs to Camera 0 and is daisy chained back. When S2 is in position “OPEN” D0 is connected to Camera 1 and daisy chained back to connector X4. X4 has connection to a termination resistor that is activated when no plug is inserted into X4. If more J-Panels are to be connected to the same lane controller, see Figure 6.12.5.
Connection to
6.12.1 (b) Two Lane Controllers
If separate lane controllers are to be connected to the two cameras, databus D0 is connected to Camera #0 and databus D1 is connected to Camera #1. Switch S2 must then be in position “TERM”. The 120 ? termination resistor is then connected between the RS485 wires.
