IRISYS IRC3020 INDOOR PEOPLE COUNTER WITH RELAY OUTPUT The IRISYS IRC3020 people counter is the latest model in the Irisys thermal array based people counter family, running the same counting algorithms as the recently launched IRC3010 IP enabled People Counter but with a simple relay output. The IRC3020 is a direct replacement for the IRC1004 unit which is no longer available. The IRC3020 can also be used as a replacement for other relay output counting devices (beam-break devices etc.), providing an easy upgrade and an improvement to counting accuracy. The IRC3020 is applicable to a wide variety of counting applications: • Retail, Shopping Malls & Shops • Leisure, Hotels & Casinos • Transportation • Smart Buildings The key benefits include: • Operation independent of ambient light • Minimal set up • User-Definable Count Lines & functionality • Wide Opening Capability up to 8 units • Ease of setup using a Windows computer • Lower installation costs • Low ongoing support costs A high accuracy, easy replacement upgrade for relay output counters. IRC3020 interfaces directly to existing data logging systems. Description of the IRC 3020 The IRC3020 is a people counting device with the imaging optics, sensor, signal processing and interfacing electronics all contained within a moulded plastic housing. The unit is used in a downward looking manner as the unit functions optically ‘seeing’ the heat emitted by people passing underneath as Infra-Red radiation collected through a germanium lens with a 60º field of view. The sensing area is a square on the floor whose width is approximately equal to the mounting height, for example, at 3.5m the unit ‘sees’ a 3.25 x 3.25m square on the floor. Mounting height ranges between 2.2 and 4.8m can be covered with the standard lens and a 40º field of view version offering increased mounting heights is also available. The IRC3020 can be used as a stand-alone counting unit which can be connected directly to a pulse counting logging unit. Alternatively, up to 3 IRC3020 units can be connected together to cover a wide entrance. Up to 8 units can be linked together in this manner to span the wide opening, with any one of the units acting as the ‘master’ unit outputting data to the logging unit. The wide opening arrangement is configured as if it is a single counter unit with a wide ‘footprint’. Each IRC3020 unit has both relay outputs and CAN data bus connections, allowing any one IRC3020 unit to operate as either stand alone counting unit, or as master counter or as a node on a wide opening network. Counter configuration is carried out via a serial interface connection accessed by a clip-on module. Any laptop running Windows software can be used to configure the counting lines for accurate counting in many environments. Firmware upgrades to the counter may also be available periodically which can also be loaded via the serial link.

SPECIFICATION Coverage Pattern: The mounting height determines the maximum coverage area available, as shown below. Detection Speed Range: 0.5ms-1 – 3ms-1 Temperature Sensitivity: < 2.0K Count Lines: There are two count lines, allowing counting in both directions (i.e. ‘in’ and ‘out’). The lines may be user-configured in a number of ways: 1. User Configurable The count lines are user configured by a drag and drop mechanism. Both line position and shape may be modified. Figure 1 shows a standard line position, whilst Figure 2 shows a user configured alternative. Fig 1. Fig 2. 2. Count...
