Introducing:
The rapid advances in the field of micro-electronics coupled with careful research into the requirements of prospective and existing clients have enabled us to develop a range of electronic People Counters that fulfil the needs and expectations of even the most demanding companies and organisations. Our commitment to produce and supply quality products that are also simple to operate and install continues to reinforce Q-Scan's reputation for performance and reliability.

Whether you are looking for a basic daily count or if you need a more detailed breakdown of your figures, with the added bonus of being able to download the recorded data to your PC, our range of models are designed to meet your requirements at affordable prices.

Operation principal:
The counter units transmit rapidly pulsed InfraRed beams to a prismatic reflector disk, which returns the beams to the receivers thereby creating a harmless and invisible light barrier. Q-Scan counters are available in single or twin beam configurations and, as both the transmitters and receivers are located in the counter units, only one single power source is required to drive the system.

The single beam systems will count a person every time that person crosses the beam regardless of the direction of approach whereas with the twin beam systems the user can select a preferred counting direction. If a person breaks a beam, the on-board microprocessor analyses the sequence of events and carries out calculations based on user selected parameters before sending the result to the memory chip. The non-volatile memory chip requires no batteries and any stored data remains intact even if the power supply is interrupted.

Records:
All our counters feature the 6-line x 16 character LCD display for viewing the recorded data and a USB port for downloading data to a laptop. This means that import several year's worth of count data for further analysis with spreadsheets or other comparable software.

Several of our more advanced models also feature a network interface for connecting to a RECAP system.

Q-Scan products are suitable for operation around the globe and are supplied world wide direct from our works. Each counter is thoroughly inspected and quality tested before they are individually packaged together with all the necessary accessories in a purpose made foam-padded container.

Power Supply:
All Q-scan Counters are shipped with a regulated power supply that provides the required 12Volt DC to drive the equipment. They are available in 3 pin UK, 2 pin European and 2 pin North American style with approximately 1.5 meter long leads and plug directly into a suitable mains electricity supply.

Operating Distance:
The maximum operating distance between the counter and reflector is factory set at 5 meters. It is possible to extend the operating distance of the single beam units by 1.5 meters with the addition of a second reflector.

Installation:
Installing the equipment is simple and requires no special skills. 2 keyholes in the base unit and a single hole through the centre of the reflector are provided for fixing purposes.

System Alignment:
The counter units feature alignment indicators that are initially used for setting the system up and then serve as warning indicators to alert the user of any alignment problems that may have occurred.

Single Beam:
The single beam systems will count a person every time that person crosses the beam regardless of the direction of approach. They are therefore best suited for locations with a single entrance or locations with multiple entrances where it is irrelevant whether an access point is being used as an entrance or an exit.

Twin Beam:
The twin beam systems are ideal for monitoring corridors and passages or locations with multiple access points where there is a need to distinguish between in-coming and out-going traffic.

User Preferences:
A number of preferences can be selected by the user to control Counter functions including leg or body counting, automatic divide by 2, Reset inhibit etc. The chosen preferences may be changed at anytime even after installation.

Enclosures:
The counter casings are manufactured from durable ABS and have an attractive textured finish. They are of a two-part construction and are internally coated with nickel screening for compliance with regulations on EMC emissions.

Essentially designed for indoor use only the counter units may, in certain circumstances and assuming that appropriate and adequate protection against all elements is provided, be sited outdoors.
