The TPS VO4 Series People Counter
The TPS VO4 People Counting Sesnor and TPS VO4 Node are people counting sensor devices with the imaging optics, sensor, signal processing and interfacing electronics all contained within a moulded plastic housing. The unit is installed on the ceiling in a downward facing direction detecting the heat emitted by people passing underneath as Infra-Red radiation collected through a germanium lens with a 60° field of view.
One of our TPS VO4 IP ‘master’ people counters can be used as a single counting node which can be connected directly to an Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). Additionally, the IP master people counter sensor can be connected to a number of TPS VO4 Node People Counters to cover a wide entrance. Up to 8 units can be linked together to span the wide opening and these will appear to the user system as a single counter unit with a wide ‘footprint’. Only one IP address is required per people counter unit.
Both data output and counter configuration is handled via the IP connection. This allows true remote configuration and data integration via IP. Firmware upgrades to the counter may also be available periodically which can also be done remotely via IP. Configuration can alternatively be performed via direct serial connection to the master counter using the TPS Accessory serial cable. A serial to USB convertor is also included for other inputs to the people counting sensors
IP Interface Specification: Standard RJ45 sockets are provided on the rear of the unit for structured cable (CAT5) connection. Power can be supplied over the CAT5 with the TPS Power Injector accessory or directly to the power terminals on the people counter unit base. Power over the Ethernet (PoE) now also supported.
