Count Recorder Hardware & Software Package

The PCDL-1000 is a miniature internally powered counter/counter total. This effective, low-cost recording device can be connected to most SenSource counters or can operate by itself with any sensor to recording and easily transfer data to your PC or Laptop. Operates for months at a time (typical life = 1 yr) on a 3.6-volt replaceable, lithium battery. Convenient programmable scaling factor allows you to divide or multiply counts to correct for error factors.

How it Works:

The PCDL-1000 may act as a total count accumulator, continuously generating counts over specifically defined intervals. Once activated the PCDL-1000 records counts within adjacent "time bin" periods. The bin period is selectable from 1 second to 12 hours. At the end of each bin period, the total count is stored in memory. The PCDL-1000 then starts another bin period and continues until either the memory is full (up to 16,363 records) or the test period has ended. If a 1-hour period is selected the PCDL-1000 can continue recording for up to 681 days. For setup and data recovery the PCDL-1000 is used in conjunction with a host PC running user friendly, Windows based software. The software will provide the user with a graphical output indicating
traffic flow rates as well as total people versus time. Or simply download the data to an Excel spreadsheet for easy data manipulation.
