Figure 2. Sensor mounted one meter (3.2 ft) above the ground.
Figure 3. Sensor mounted 0.25 meters (0.8 ft) below the ground.
The charts within figures 2 and 3 indicate the excess gain for a typical car. Excess gain is the measure of “extra” signal detected by the sensor
in excess of the level needed to detect change in the magnetic fields.
Figure 3 illustrates a typical vehicle passing over a sensor mounted underground. Note that the excess gain is greatest when the front bumper
is positioned such that the rear axle is directly over the M-GAGE™.
The graphs represent the default sensitivity threshold levels (solid line) and half the default sensitivity (dotted line). As shown in the table, the
excess gain of the default sensitivity is twice that of the other sensitivity.
