Device Installation
Step-by-step guide for installing the trailpulse pedestrian counting sensor in the field.
SCHRITT 01
Position & Optimise
The recommended spacing between mats is 0.5 to 1 m. On steep terrain, spacing should be closer to 0.5 m. If people are moving quickly, a spacing of about 0.8 to 1 m is advisable. The mat detects steps about 20 cm in front of and behind the mat, so the total detection zone is up to 50 cm. Walk through the zone several times and check that every pass is reliably detected.
SCHRITT 02
Mark – Clear – Dig
Once the optimal position is found, mark the outline of each mat. Remove the mats and clear the installation area of roots, stones and loose material. Dig a shallow recess so the mat surface is flush with the surrounding path. Place the mats in the recess and check the fit.
SCHRITT 03
Compacting
Compact the fill material in the sensor area carefully so that as little loose material remains as possible. Good compaction of the soil prevents resonance, extends the life of the device and reduces severe erosion. The fill material over the mat can be slightly raised when installing, as the soil will settle over time.

Test with the Installer App
After completing the installation, open the trailpulse Installer App and run your final test passes. Check the detection timestamps and confirm that response times are within the expected range. When all readings confirm normal operation, close the installation session.
