Regulatory Statements
FCC Compliance Statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
The users manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator shall caution
the user that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. In cases where the manual is
provided only in a form other than paper, such as on a computer disk or over the Internet, the
information required by this section may be included in the manual in that alternative form,
provided the user can reasonably be expected to have the capability to access information in that
form.
To comply with FCC’s RF exposure limits for general population / uncontrolled exposure, the
antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20
cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter."
Any changes or modifications to this product not authorized by Sensys Networks could void the
EMC compliance and negate the authority to operate the product.

RF Exposure Statement
This device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines. It should be installed and
operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator of RF energy and the body of
users, operators or others.
Improper use or tampering with the device is prohibited and may not ensure compliance with FCC
exposure guidelines.
Warnings
No Safety Switching
Sensys Networks does not allow its equipment to be used for safety applications such as
controlling a mechanical gate or switching a train to avoid a collision.
Lithium Thionyl Chloride Batteries
Sensys Networks uses Lithium Thionyl Chloride batteries in the following products:
•Sensors (VSN240-F, VSN240-T, VSN240-S)
•Repeaters (R 240-B, R 240-BH, R 240-B-LL, and R 240-BH-LL)
Lithium batteries are widely used in electronic products because they contain more energy
per unit -weight than conventional batteries. However, the same properties that deliver
high energy density also contribute to potential hazards if the batteries are damaged.
Improper use or handling of the batteries may result in leakage or release of battery
contents, explosion or fire.
Following are the recommendations of the battery manufacturer for proper use and
handling of batteries in the Sensys Networks devices mentioned above:
•DO NOT charge or attempt to recharge the batteries (batteries are NOT rechargeable)
•DO NOT crush or puncture batteries
•DO NOT short-circuit the batteries
•DO NOT force over-discharge of the batteries
•DO NOT incinerate or expose batteries to excessive heating
•DO NOT expose battery contents to water
•DO dispose of batteries and devices containing batteries in accordance with local
regulations
Note: Sensys Networks wireless sensors contain no serviceable parts and should never be
disassembled. Installation and removal of sensors from pavement should only be done by
trained personnel and care should be taken to insure that the sensor casing is not punctured
or crushed.

CHAPTER 2
Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the A CC and its additional components. The chapter also
describes the contents of a product shipment.
Access Point Controller Card (APCC)
The Sensys Networks VDS240 Wireless Vehicle Detection
System detects the presence and movement of vehicles with
magneto-resistive sensors mounted in the pavement.
Wireless sensors continuously transmit detection data to
access points that collect and forward data to remote traffic
management systems or local traffic signal controllers such
as the CalTrans Type 170, Type 2070 ATC and NEMA TS-1
and TS-2 controllers.
The Sensys Networks Access oint Controller Card (A CC),
is a second generation controller card that maintains low
power consumption, supports multiple radios, and allows
for additional communication and processing power. The
A CC, which is compatible with all of Sensys Networks
VDS240 Wireless Vehicle Detection System products,
receives and processes data from the sensors. The A CC
then relays the sensor detection data to a roadside traffic
controller or remote server traffic management system.

Access Point Controller Card Installation Guide Overview
Contact Closure Expansion Card
Additional capacity (to handle more sensors or controller channels) is provided by a contact closure
expansion card (EX card). EX cards use the same form factor as CC cards and are daisy-chained to
a CC card by front-panel RJ45 jacks or backplane connectors. Up to 63 EX cards can be used per
CC card.
Types of APCC Configurations
The A CC single-slot configuration consists of dual A CC radio ports, Sensys Networks Expansion
(EX) port, and contact closure interface via backplane to a traffic controller. It also has dual USB
2.0 full speed host ports and 10/100Base-T network access. The A CC dual-slot configuration adds
an SD memory card, real-time battery-backed clock, dual serial (DB9) interface, and an optional
second serial port or built in cellular modem.
APCC System
The minimum A CC system consists of an A CC and one S radio. The system can also consist of
multiple S radios and an isolator that offers electrical isolation up to 1500V, surge protection up
to 1500V, and AC power cross protection.
Figure 2-1: APPC system configuration
APCC Serial Port Protocol (SPP) Digital Radio
The A CC, along with the S , maintains two-way wireless links to an
installation’s sensors and repeaters, establishes overall time
synchronization, and transmits configuration commands and message
acknowledgements.
