CHAPTER 1 - Introduction
Hawkeye is a third generation 3D-UHD UMRR with unprecedented detection and data
collection capability. The radar can not only detect vehicles at the stop bar, but also up
to 1000 feet away from it. It provides separation in speed, range and angle with nearly
100% accuracy, and utilizes high-speed modulation of adaptive beams to achieve
those characteristics.
To take full advantage of the technology, the traffic professionals and any deployment
project parties must ensure that the solution components and adjacent parts are
properly assembled and installed. Rhythm has been partnering with top manufacturers
with proven track record of development and innovation in the field of traffic and
overall detection technologies.
The Hawkeye hardware solution components and physical parts have been approved
for quality by Agency Standards: UL497B and UL508A. They are compliant and
compatible with NEMA TS1 and TS2 traffic cabinets and controllers via industry
standard connections. The Hawkeye radar solution has been devised to integrate well
with both Rhythm owned deployments and with new, brand agnostic solutions.
Tip: For information on monitoring the Hawkeye data analytics software, refer to the
Hawkeye ASPM User Guide.

PAGE 2 Hawkeye Radar Installation and Maintenance Guide v1.0

CHAPTER 3 – Prerequisites:
Prior to Mounting the Radar Sensor
Determine Where to Mount the Radar Sensor
The radar sensor will need to be mounted to a ridged pole.
• If mounting on a mast arm, the radar sensor should be mounted out on the
mast arm in front of on-coming traffic, but no more than 1/3 of the length of
mast arm from the upright. The mast arm should be near horizontally level.
Install Extension Arms
• If installing on a vertical pole, extension arms can be used to provide a more

direct view of the on-coming traffic for the radar sensor. If extension arms are
being used, ensure they are installed.
• If installing on a diagonal mast arm, a vertical extension pole must be used.

The included mounting bracket is unable to rotate the radar sensor enough to
face the approaching traffic, so rotation on the vertical pole is required.
Pull Network Cable
Outdoor, direct burial-rated CAT5e or better (CAT6 recommended) cable needs to be

run to the location where the radar sensor will be installed.

CHAPTER 4 – Mounting the
Radar Assebly
The Pole Bracket
The radar and monitoring camera bracket consists of three major parts. Some assembly
will occur during mounting. The pole bracket contains an ethernet surge protector and
grounding lug.
Fig. 2 Assembly of Pole Bracket with Surge Protector

CHAPTER 4 – Mounting the Radar Assebly
The Middle Bracket
The middle bracket will connect the pole bracket to the radar and camera bracket
assembly. It supports adjustments for the radar to be rotated (left/right) and tilted (up/
down).
Fig. 3 The Middle Bracket

The Radar and Camera Bracket Assembly
The radar camera bracket assembly contains the radar sensor and camera mounted on
a single bracket.
Fig. 4 The Radar and Camera Unit Assembled

Mount the Pole Bracket Assembly
Mount the Pole Bracket Assembly as level as possible in all directions, but with a slight
incline.
• If the mast arm rises significantly, mount the bracket on the most level section
of the mast arm closest to the vertical pole.
• If this causes the radar sensor to be mounted more than half-way out on the
mast arm, then the radar bracket must be mounted to the vertical pole or a
small vertical pole extension must be used.
Fig. 5 Pole Bracket Assembly with Incline Set
7 Hawkeye Radar Installation and Maintenance Guide v1.0 PAGE 7

Attach the Middle Bracket to the Radar and Camera Bracket Assembly
The Middle Bracket will need to be assembled to the Radar and Camera bracket using
four M6x16 mm bolts. Ensure the Middle Bracket is oriented to pivot on the top bolts,
with the tilt adjustment opening at the bottom. These bolts are used to adjust the tilt/
depression angle of the radar sensor.
Note: Use a 10 mm wrench to tighten the bolts.
Fig. 6 Middle Bracket Facing the Radar and Camera Bracket
Fig. 7 Middle Bracket Holding the Tilted Sensor

Attach the Middle Bracket to the Pole Bracket Assembly
Next, attach the Middle Bracket to the Pole Bracket Assembly, which is already mounted
to the pole, using two M6x16 mm bolts. These two bolts can be used to adjust the
rotation of the radar left and right.
Note: Use a 10 mm wrench to tighten the bolts.

Fig. 9 Hardware Assembly Ready

CHAPTER 5 - Terminating the
Network Connections
1. Pull the ethernet cable to the IN port of the ethernet surge protector and provide
enough excess for a drip loop.
2. Terminate the burial rated CAT5e (or better) field ethernet cable using a shielded
RJ45 connector.
Fig. 10 Surge Protector with In and Out Connectors Fastened
3. Open the ethernet surge protector enclosure by removing the 4 Philips-head screws.
Tip: The screws are captive, so they do not need to be removed from the cover
completely.
4. Remove the cable gland caps and pull out or push through the split ring sealing
insert. The PCB for the Ethernet surge protector is labeled with ports IN and OUT.

CHAPTER 5 – Terminating the Network Connections
5. Install the cable gland cap over the network cable, insert the sealing ring, and
connect the network cable from the traffic cabinet to the IN port inside the ethernet
surge protector enclosure. Ensure the beveled side of the sealing ring faces out.
6. Pull slightly on the Ethernet cable to ensure it is locked into the Ethernet port.
7. Insert the sealing ring into the gland completely and then attach the cap.
Fig. 11 Ethernet Cable Fitted into the Surge Protector
Fig. 12 Ethernet Cable Attached to the PCB In Port

CHAPTER 5 – Terminating the Network Connections
8. Perform the same process for the radar network cable. The network cable from the
radar is already terminated with a shielded RJ45 connector. Pull it through the holes in
the middle bracket and insert it into the OUT side of the ethernet surge protector.
9. Install the cover on the enclosure. The image below shows what the final assembly
will look like.
Fig. 13 Radar Cable Pulled Through the Connector
Fig. 14 Final Assembly with Sensor

CHAPTER 6 – Grounding
and Connecting
Ground the Ethernet Surge Protector
1. Connect a 12 AWG or thicker copper wire to the provided ground lug.
2. Run the wire to the base of the pole and attach it to the ground rod. If a ground rod
is not available, attach the ground wire to the mast arm or extension arm directly.
Fig. 15 Grounding Going through the Pole
Connect the Equipment in the Cabinet
This installation guide does not cover connecting the In|Sync processor or other
Processing Unit to the traffic cabinet or connecting various other modules that are used
to interface the Processing Unit to vehicle detection, ped detection, and controller
inputs and outputs. Refer to the In|Sync Installation or Hawkeye Cabinet Installation
manual for that information.
Install the Equipment Panel and Connect Network Cables
1. Make sure that the equipment panel contains the following components:
• 24 VDC power supply

• 48 VDC power supply
• 10/100 unmanaged non-PoE network switch
• 4x single port passive PoE injector and Ethernet surge protectors
• DIN Relay

CHAPTER 6 – Grounding and Connecting
Fig. 16 Connecting Network Cables to Equipment Panel
2. After installing the equipment panel to a side wall or shelf, plug the two AC power
cables into the surge protected AC power strip provided. This will power the 24 VDC
and 48 VDC power supplies.
3. Next, connect the field network cables for the radar sensors to the 4x single port 48
VDC passive PoE injector and Ethernet surge protectors. The ports are labeled Radar.
The radar devices should be connected to the ports in this order for simplicity:
a) Port 1: North Bound radar

b) Port 2: South Bound radar
c) Port 3: East Bound radar
d) Port 4: West Bound radar
Note: These are passive PoE/always-on PoE network ports. Do not connect
anything except the radar sensors to these ports or you will risk damage to your
network port or device.
4. The DIN rail mounted fuses are 1 A slow blow. Numbers 1-4 have to correspond to
the labeled PoE injector ports.

CHAPTER 6 – Grounding and Connecting
Ground the Equipment Panel
1. Connect a 12 AWG or thicker gauge copper wire to the ground lug or ground bar.
2. Connect the other end of the wire to the traffic cabinet earth ground bus bar.
Fig. 17 Fastening the Ground Wire to the Traffic Cabinet

CHAPTER 7 – Installing the
Processing Unit
Installing the Processing Unit
1. Position the processing unit on a shelf or install with rack mount brackets.
2. Connect the green 3-conductor 24 VDC power cable from the equipment panel’s
24 VDC power supply to the processing unit.
3. The processing unit has two network ports, each with a specific purpose. The LAN
port is designated to be connected to the traffic network via the cabinet network
switch used to provide communications between all the traffic cabinets on the corridor.
Connect the LAN port to an available port on the cabinet network switch. Only the
processing unit will be connected to the traffic network.

CHAPTER 8 – Alignment of
Camera and Radar
Context Camera Alignment
With the view of the context camera streaming, determine if any adjustments are
needed. If the camera needs to be tilted down, loosen the set screw on the top of the
device using the provided tool. Loosen only enough to allow the camera eye to move.
Move the eye to the best position to provide a full view of the approaching vehicles
and tighten the set screw.
Fig. 29 Context Camera Set to Position

CHAPTER 8 – Alignment of Camera and Radar
Radar Alignment
After verifying successful communications, use the Hawkeye Configuration Software

to assist in adjusting the alignment of the radar sensor.
Tip: Another person is required to assist in the alignment adjustments. One person will
adjust the radar sensor and the other person will need to be connected to the processing
unit and use the Hawkeye Configuration Software to verify alignments.
Elevation
1. Select the Elevation and Roll menu item under the Guided Alignment menu
section on the left. Select the Sensor in the drop-down box.
• The recommended Pitch is listed in the top box. This is the configured Pitch
angle which was determined to provide good coverage of the detection
zones.
• The current Pitch angle is listed in the bottom box.
Fig. 30 Setting up Radar Pitch

2. Adjust the radar sensor Pitch down/up using the 4 bolts which attach the Radar and
Camera Bracket to the Middle Bracket, so that it is as close as possible to the configured
Pitch.
Fig. 31 Pitch/Tilt Adjustment Bolts
Incorrect – Angle Too Much Declined
If the angle is too far negative, tilt the sensor up toward the sky until it is within 0.5
degrees of the desired pitch angle.
Fig. 32 Low Pitch Detection

Incorrect – Angle Too Much Inclined
If the angle is too far positive, tilt the sensor down toward the ground until it is within
0.5 degrees of the desired pitch angle.
Fig. 33 High Pitch Detection
Correct – Angle Close to Configured Value
The angle is correctly set.
Fig. 34 Correct Pitch Detection

Roll
In the Elevation and Roll menu, the Roll angle should be at 0 degrees if the radar
sensor was mounted level. However, anything within +/- 3 degrees is acceptable. If
the Roll angle is too much out of specifications, the radar sensor bracket may need
to be adjusted with the band straps to ensure the sensor is level or the radar sensor
pole bracket assembly may need to be mounted on a separate horizontal or vertical
extension arm.
Azimuth or Rotation Angle
To verify the Azimuth or Rotation Angle of the radar sensor, live vehicles must be
present and moving through the intersection. As vehicles are detected, they will be
displayed in the map/intersection view of the Hawkeye Configuration Software.
Prior to adjusting the rotation angle of the radar sensor, the Snap-to-Lane feature of the
radar sensor must be disabled.
Disable Snap-to-Lane
1. Open the Command dialog by going to the Views > CAN Data Views > Command
option from the main title bar menu.
Fig. 35 Disabling Snap-to-Lane

2. Select the IP Address of the sensor from the CAN drop-down menu, and enter the
following settings:
• ParNo: 54
• Value: 0 (off)
• Action: 214
3. Click the Send button to turn off snap-to-lane.
Fig. 36 Snap-to-Lane Settings

CHAPTER 9 – Adjustments
and Validation
Mounting Bracket Sensor Rotation Adjustment Bolts
1. Locate the sensor rotation angle adjustment bolts.
2. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the two bolts using a 10mm wrench or socket
and make the adjustments.
3. Then, check the result in the Hawkeye Configuration Software.
Fig. 37 Adjusting Sensor Rotation
• From the perspective of the radar facing the approaching traffic, if the vehicles
are being detected to the left of the detection zones, the radar sensor must
be rotated to the left. The recommended Pitch is listed in the top box. This is
the configured Pitch angle which was determined to provide good coverage
of the detection zones.
• If the vehicles are being detected to the right of the detection zones, the radar
sensor must be rotated to the right.
4. The adjustment will not be noticed unless the vehicles are moving. A vehicle that is
stopped will not show the adjustment. After rotating the sensor, verify the view with
newly arriving vehicles.

CHAPTER 9 – Adjustments and Validation
Vehicles on the left – rotate left
Fig. 38 Sensor Adjustment to the Left
Vehicles on the right – rotate right
Fig. 39 Sensor Adjustment to the Right
Alignment is within tolerance - fine tune in the software
The vehicles are still not aligned perfectly with the detection zones, but the sensor
rotation is within acceptable tolerance. Use the software tools to rotate the radar
sensor within the map to align the vehicles to their lanes and detection zones.
Fig. 40 Sensor Aligned with Approach

Rotate Sensor for Fine-Tuned Adjustment
Adjusting Sensor on the Map
1. Select the Sensor Positions menu item under the Site Plan section on the left in the
Installation Wizard.
2. Select the radar sensor to adjust on the map or select it from the drop-down list.
Fig. 41 Positioning UMRR-1 on the Map

Adjusting Sensor to Presence and Advance Zones
The vehicles arriving are not perfectly aligned to the lanes and detection zones. The
vehicles further away from the radar sensor appear to the top of the lanes. This means
that the radar sensor will need to rotate down. However, as the vehicles get closer to
the stop bar, they are aligned within the lane well. This means that after rotating the
sensor down for vehicles far away, we will need to make additional adjustments for
closer vehicles.
1. Select the red arrow that is protruding from the radar sensor and drag it (down for
this example) on the map to rotate where the sensor is facing.
2. Rotate it so that the arriving vehicles are perfectly aligned to the lanes.
3. You can also manually enter the Azimuth angle to make fine-tuned adjustments.
Fig. 42 Entering Azimuth Angle for UMRR-1

Adjusting Sensor to Lanes
After we rotated the sensor down, the vehicles further away are aligned correctly, but
now the vehicles close to the stop bar are at the edge of the lane on the bottom.
1. We will need to move the radar sensor to pull those vehicles up.
2. To do this select the red circle that represents the radar and drag up (in this example).
3. This will modify the X and Y position of the radar which can manually be entered as well.
Fig. 43 Lane Edge Manual Adjustment

4. The vehicles are now perfectly aligned into the lanes and the zones. Vehicles furthest
away and closest to the stop bar travel within the lanes and are aligned to the detection
zones.
Fig. 44 Accurate Alignment with Field of Detection

Enable Snap-to-Lane
1. Open the Command dialog by going to the Views > CAN Data Views > Command
option from the main title bar menu.
Fig. 45 Enabling Snap-to-Lane
2. Select the IP Address of the sensor from the CAN drop-down menu, and enter the
following settings:
• ParNo: 54
• Value: 1 (on)
• Action: 214
3. Click the Send button to turn on snap-to-lane.

Save Configuration
Lastly, save the configuration to the radar sensor.
1. Select the Save Configuration menu item under the Guided Alignment section.
2. Uncheck the box for All Sensors and select the sensor from the drop-down menu.
3. Click the Apply Settings button.
Fig. 46 Saving Radar Configuration

CHAPTER 10 – Networking Needs
Post-Installation
The following requirements are valid for both stand-alone (without In|Sync) and
complete solutions (with In|Sync)
Networking Bandwidth
To operate successfully following the installation, the Hawkeye radar solution requires
network connection within steady networking bandwidth. This chapter provides an
overview of the available communication methods.
“Bandwidth” is the amount of network communication traffic that can flow through a
given point. Think of bandwidth as plumbing and water as traffic. A small copper pipe
allows a small stream of water to flow, but to get more water to the other end faster,
you need a larger diameter pipe. Similarly, if you need more network traffic to get to
the other end faster, you need more bandwidth. Water traffic can be measured in cups
or gallons; network traffic is measured in “bits” and “bytes.” A byte equals eight bits.
* All bandwidth speeds are raw throughput speeds and do not count networking
overhead, which can use up to 30+% of the bandwidth.
** DSL and cable modem connections typically advertise their speeds as something like
1.5 to 10 Mbps. However, this is the download speed. Hawkeye radar communication
is more dependent on upload speeds.

CHAPTER 10 – Networking Needs Post-Installation
Tip: Be careful when reading specifications that mix bits per second (bps) with Bps
(bytes per second). For example, a 100 Mbps connection is slower than a 50 MBps
connection (50 MBps = 400 Mbps).
There is also confusion regarding the definition of “kilo.” In some computing contexts, it
means 1024; in others it means 1000. Similarly, “mega” can mean either 1,000,000 or
1,048,576 (1024 x 1024). However, these numbers are close enough in practical terms
to not matter.
Note: Rhythm Engineering requires a minimum of 2 Mbps download and 1 Mbps

upload speed. It is recommended that customers consult their Communications
department and Rhythm Engineering for finding an optimal networking solution for
their specific deployment.
Hawkeye Networking Requirements
The Rhythm system uses Internet Protocol (IP) address labels to communicate. IP
communication is a robust and proven technology that has allowed the Internet to
evolve.
The word “Internet” in Internet protocol can be a little misleading – it is not necessary for
the network to be open to the rest of the world. Typically, the network used by Rhythm
products is either sequestered behind firewalls or totally isolated. Municipalities with
an existing networking plan can often just incorporate the traffic network into their
broader networking scheme. However, it is required that Rhythm Engineering can
connect to the existing network by means of a VPN tunnel, to provide remote support
and maintenance to Hawkeye system units.
Before installing Hawkeye, be sure to have the following networking items in

place:
• A fully configured and installed router with VPN and firewall capabilities
• VPN access for at least four unique Rhythm users
• Static IP address assignments for each device processing unit, with designated
subnet/gateway.
• Minimum bandwidth of 2 megabits per second (Mbps) download speed and
1 Mbps upload speed.
Note: The only networking equipment provided by Rhythm Engineering is the network
switch that resides on the equipment panel (for communications at the intersection).
All other networking equipment must be purchased separately.
