4 DYNAPCN 10-01-00 OVERVIEW

4.1 DynaPCN 10-01-00 general description

The DynaPCN 10-01-00 is a compact and autonomous device based on a stereoscopic vision technology.

It has been developed to count passengers as they enter in and exit from buses and trains.

It can also be used to count people entering and exiting buildings or areas with restricted access.

The DynaPCN 10-01-00 integrates 4 high luminosity infrared LEDs on the front panel.

The LEDs allows to illuminate the scene and obtain an accurate and precise counting in any type of lighting

condition.

The angle of the front panel respect to the frame can be adjusted from 0° to 45°.

This adjustment allows you to install the DynaPCN 10-01-00 also on sloping ceilings.

If you need to install the DynaPCN 10-01-00 with the front panel angled more than 35° respect to the

frame, for aesthetic / antivandalic purposes, you can request the accessory Case Extension, to mount on

the rear side of the frame.

The Case Extension purchasing code is: M11-10-10-00.

The following figures show some examples of installations on-board buses.

The DynaPCN 10-01-00 can be installed in an opening on the roof or using a customized holder.
