Carmanah MX Series Passive Sensor Kit Installation guide

  • Hello! I have reviewed the Passive Sensor Kit Install Guide you've provided. This document provides instructions for installing and interfacing Carmanah's MX Series SmartWalk and TC26-B sensors. It details the wiring connections, DIP switch settings, and different applications for various models. I am ready to answer your questions about these sensors and their installation.
  • What type of sensors are covered in this guide?
    What are the different applications for SmartWalk sensors?
    What is the purpose of the TC26-B sensor?
    What is the recommended setup for pedestrian push buttons?
    What is the recommended setting for SmartWalk DIP switch #4?

SmartWalk Sensor
TC26-B Sensor
This guide only covers interfacing the sensor to power and flasher modules. Sensor must be
configured per manufacturer's documentation to operate properly.
Ensure correct sensor model is used for each application:
• SmartWalk XP-S: crosswalk pedestrian sensing
• SmartWalk TX-S: trail user sensing
• TC26-B: vehicle sensing
Pedestrian push buttons should be used in parallel with SmartWalk sensors to provide manual
activation option.
Only SmartWalk model numbers ending in “-S” can be used with solar systems.

1. Prepare pole and install bracket and sensor per manufacturer's instructions.
2. Ensure SmartWalk DIP switch #4 (Fail Safe) is set to OFF position.
3. Fish sensor cable through pole.
3. Cap (or cut at end of jacket if permitted by local regulations) unused white wire.
4. Except when connecting directly to MX 400 (which has screw terminals to accept spade/ring terminals),
cut off terminals from wire ends and strip insulation 0.35".
5. Connect sensor wires to power or flasher module trigger terminals per table below.
6. Configure sensor per manufacturer's instructions and perform a walk/drive-by test to confirm proper
operation.
NOTE: READ ALL INCLUDED INSTALL GUIDES BEFORE SYSTEM INSTALLATION
