Special Features

Supplied Accessories

LED Display
To allow the counter unit to blend in with its surroundings and to discourage unwanted interference with the system, the digits of the integral display are not visible until they are activated with one of the supplied magnetic activators.

Reset
For maximum security the user can inhibit the reset feature. With the reset feature enabled, the display is cleared by holding one of the supplied magnets against the the front cover of the counter for 3 seconds. The Twincomm stores the download data on a separate memory chip which will not be erased even if the display is cleared.

Leg/Body Counting
The counter can be set to either record individual legs or whole bodies thereby increasing the choice of locations. The on-board processor automatically carries out the necessary calculations to obtain the correct number of people that have passed through the system.

Counting Direction
The Twincomm can be set to count in a specific direction meaning that traffic flowing in the opposite direction will be ignored. This feature is essential for premises with multiple access points that require individual monitoring. It is therefore possible to record the number of people entering a building without having to adjust the figures even if that same access point is used as an exit. Alternatively, if the system is set to count in both directions and the data downloaded to a PC the recorded data of the respective counting directions is listed separately making the system ideal for monitoring directional traffic at access points, corridors or passages. The counting directions can be selected or changed even after installation of the system.

Data Protection
The recorded data is stored on non-volatile memories and is therefore fully protected against power failure or accidental removal of the power supply without the need for back-up batteries.

Data download
The Twincomm features an RS232 output for interfacing the counter with a PC. With the counter connected to the serial port of a PC the user can download a whole month's worth of data in either ASCII or spreadsheet compatible formats.

Software
Our dedicated software, available as an optional extra, has many useful features but any communications software, as supplied with most PC operating systems, can be used for downloading. There are many ways of analysing the data but spreadsheets are the simplest way of producing timed counts, graphs and charts etc.

Connections
The supplied DIN plug is normally used to make up the RS232 link between the counter and PC but we can supply a 1.5m long ready-made serial cable for downloading the data to portable equipment.
