Quick Setup Guide for theTRAX I
1. Turn the TRAX I ON.
2. From the Main Menu, TAB to “STAT” and hold down the DO key. Check the
battery voltage (bat:X.Xv). For longer studies (week or more) the voltage should
be at least 6.4. It can be less for shorter counts, but should not be below 6.1.
Release the DO key when finished checking.
3. TAB to “Utilities” and press the DO key once. TAB to “Defaults” and press
the DO key once.
4. With “INT” flashing, press the DO key once. TAB to select the interval length
desired and press the DO key when your selection is flashing.
5. TAB to “Space” and press the DO key once. Enter the spacing of your tubes
for the study. This is only required for class, speed or gap types of studies. All of
these studies require 8 ft. This setting does not affect volume studies - if you are
doing a volume count, you do not need to set the spacing. Hit the DO key when
your selection is correct.
6. Hit the DO key twice with “Exit” flashing to return to the main menu. Note:
the default settings will remain stored in the counter for all future counts.You
will not need to set them again unless you are going to do a different type of
study.
7. From the Main Menu, press the DO key when “Count” is flashing.
8. Select the type of study you wish to do by using the TAB key and hitting DO
when your selection is flashing. The options are: Basic, Volume Only, Per Veh
(Per Vehicle) and Binned (Class/Speed/Gap).
Basic: the most complex of the studies, it time stamps every axle hit.
Use this only if you are interested in the raw data of a traffic study.
Volume Only: the simplest of the studies, it creates a study based on
one count for every two axle hits.
Per Veh (Per Vehicle): one step below Basic, it allows extensive
manipulation of the data but does not time stamp every axle hit.
Binned (Class/Speed/Gap): this study can provide Class, Speed and
Gap binned files.You can choose to do one, two, or all three of these
studies at the same time in any combination.
9. After selecting your type of study, you will be prompted to select a tube
layout. Refer to the descriptions on the TRAX I or to Chapter 4 for the appropri-
ate selection. TAB to your selection and press the DO key to select it.
10.You will then be prompted to select a site code. Press DO with “Yes”
flashing to enter one or press DO with “None” flashing to not use a site code.
11. Press DO with “Start” flashing to begin your study!

What is theTRAX I?
The TRAX I Counter/Classifier is an automatic traffic recorder designed
and built by JAMAR Technologies, Inc. It is designed for ease of use, but
containsmany optionsand features thatare needed forcomprehensivetraffic
data analysis.
The TRAX I can collect data in four modes: basic (raw) data, volume only
data, per vehicle data and binned class, speed and/or gap data. These vari-
ous modes allow you to go from a simple one lane volume count to a multi-
lane, individual axle time-stamped raw data collection with the same piece
of equipment.
The TRAX I can store up to 32 different studies. It stores the type of study
done, the date and time, a site code and the data for the study. At any
convenient time, you can transfer the data to your computer or a data mod-
ule through the RS-232 serial port and process the data. Reports for vol-
ume, class, speed and gap can be generated using JAMAR’s data analysis
software.
How is theTRAX I powered?
The TRAX I is powered by a rechargeable lead gel battery. Depending
upon use, batteries may last for several months before they need to be
recharged. The TRAX I displays the battery voltage when it is first turned
on.This allowsyouto determineifthere isenoughbattery powertocomplete
a study. Generally, battery voltage should register at 6.3VDC or higher for
a full charge. Refer to Chapter 6 Battery Care for more information on
battery maintenance. TheTRAX I can also be purchased with a solar panel
option.
POWER ON, DO andTAB Functions
An OFF/ON switch on top of the front panel is used to power the unit. A
four line by 20-character display helps you select the proper entries. All
options are clearly displayed, with the currently selected option flashing.
The bottom two lines of the display are used to explain the option that is
highlighted.
Two buttons are all that are used to move from menu to menu, and to select
from the various options shown on the display. One key (TAB) is used to
move the highlight to the option you want, and another is used to imple-
ment it (the DO key). In general, you press the TAB key until the option
you want is flashing, and then press the DO key. If you move the highlight
too far and overshoot the desired option, just keep pressing the TAB key
until it is re-selected.

the keypad.
After you power on the TRAX I the
sign-on screen is displayed. This
shows the version number of the
firmware in the TRAX I in the lower
right-hand corner.
The second screen, as shown below, displays the tube spacing that is set in
the TRAX I, the amount of memory the counter contains, the amount of
memory remaining for new studies, the number of counts stored in memory,
the status of the battery and the time and date that is set in your TRAX I.
After a few seconds, the screen clears and the Main Menu is displayed.
