Pearl Installation F.A.Q.
Q: At what height should the sensors be mounted at?
A: The PEARL counter should be mounted at approximately 54" inches (137cm) for Adult ONLY counting. If you wish to also include children in the count, then mount the counter at 24" inches. Note that mounting at a lower height may also include counts from carts, strollers and
____
Q: How wide an entrance does the PEARL counter cover?
A: The PEARL counters can cover an entrance as wide as 15 Feet (approx. 4.5m), Should you require a wider coverage, consider our 3DScope counter.
____
Q: Does the PEARL counter work through glass?
A: The PEARL counter requires an unobstructed view in-between the sensors in order to count accurately. Glass can have different tint, thickness or reflective properties therefore making NOT the recommended counting technology. Ask us about our 3DScope counter.
____
Q: What can I do if the Wi-Fi signal at our entrance is not strong enough for the PEARL?
A: You would need to possibly add a Wi-Fi extender. Click here to learn more about extenders and PEARLS
