Warranty Exclusions
Due to important installation considerations, the following sensors will not be
warranted.
1. Sensors that aren’t installed flush with the road surface.
If the road sensor is installed above the road surface, damage to the sensor
could result from equipment contacting the sensor.
If the sensor is mounted below the road surface, incorrect measurements
are possible due to the pooling effect of material on top of the sensor that
is not representative of the road surface.
2. Sensors with exposed sensor cable in the road surface.
