Section 1
Introduction and Preparation
Thank you for purchasing the RedStorm 2.0 System. This section will give you a broad overview of a typical system
and its capabilities. This may or may not reflect the specific hardware you have chosen.
1.1 Introduction to the RedStorm™ 2.0 Parking Guidance System

The RedStorm™ System is a stand-alone network of space available signs, Differential Zone Counters (DZ Counters)
and the SuperMaster Control Center which integrates with commercially available vehicle detection equipment.
The RedStorm 2.0 System is flexible enough to support a small surface lot or a multi-level parking structure. It is not
required to be tied-in with the main parking facility network and is the ideal system to integrate with existing loop detection.
Using sensors or loop detectors the DZ Counters keep a running count of the vehicles entering and exiting defined
zones or areas of the parking facility. The SuperMaster Control Center takes this information and uses it to display
available space counts on the Space Available signs. Each loop detector or pair of sensors is hard-wired to a DZ
Counter. Refer to Figure 1 for typical network topology.
We recommend reading through this manual before beginning the system installation and setup configuration.
1.2 Installation Preparation

2.3 Installation and Wiring of the RedStorm 2.0 SuperMaster Control Center
2.3.1 Mounting the Control Center
The SuperMaster Control Center enclosure should be located in a controlled area to prevent unlawful access to the system
controls. Area should also be protected from environmental elements.
All electrical connections should be made through the bottom of enclosure and sealed to prevent moisture from
entering enclosure. 120VAC is recommended to power Control Center. Wire in accordance with local electrical codes and
weatherproof all connections made through the enclosure.
Critical: To reduce risk of water damage, all conduit connections MUST be made on the bottom of the enclosure. Holes
made elsewhere will void the warranty.
2.3.2 Wiring the RedStorm 2.0 SuperMaster Control Center

The RedStorm 2.0 System MUST be installed in a daisy-chain topology. Reference typical Network Topology Diagram
(Figure 1) and site-specific network topology drawings previously provided. We recommend running a separate RS-485
network for each of the following: the Differential Zone Counters (DZ Counters) and sensors; exterior signs and/ interior
signs. CAT5 cable or better should be used to wire networks. Each daisy-chained network can be a maximum of 4,000 lineal
feet and will support up to 32 devices. If a stub connection is used between device and RS-485 network, maximum length
for stub is 10 feet. Proper terminating and bias resistors must be used. Refer to the TIA/EIA-485-A guidelines for additional
requirements. Refer to Figure BB on the Master Wiring Diagram on pages 18 - 19 for specific wiring detail.
Critical: Star and parallel network patterns WILL lead to interference and insufficient communication signal strength
which WILL result in lost vehicle counts and incorrect or missing sign updates.
The RedStorm 2.0 System MUST be connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to prevent vehicle count
interruption during a power disruption. The UPS is not part of the RedStorm System and should be provided by others.
We recommend having a knowledgeable telecom professional make the communication connections.
2.4 Operating the SuperMaster Controller

The SuperMaster is the main control for the RedStorm 2.0 System. From this control the user is able to:
• View and reset configuration settings
• View settings for counted zones within the parking facility. Clear Total In/Out counts.
• View Zone Controller configuration by address. Clear Total Counts; reset Total Counts, enable/disable Zone
Controller; reboot Controller; reset Transmit ID
• View 7-segment display configuration by ID#. View buffer count and select alternate ‘FULL’ message display.

The LED Counter Display will replicate the counts being displayed on up to 6 different 7-segment signs at any given time.
Enter the 7-segment sign address for the display you wish to replicate using the dip-switches to the right of the Auxiliary
LED Count Display. Refer to Figure 6 below for the binary code logic to set the address.
For convenience, 50 patterns are included below. Each value is represented both in binary form (1 ‘s and 0’s), then with the
corresponding actual value that is the Sign Number. The binary values relate directly to the way the individual switches
should be set. A 1 indicates that the switch for that corresponding position should be ON. A 0 indicates that the switch for
its corresponding position should be OFF. When all the switches are OFF, then the value is zero. When all the switches are
ON, the value is 255. When switches 1 and 2 and 3 and 5 and 8 are all OFF, and switches 4 and 6 and 7 are ON, then the value
is 22 as in our example below.
Remember black areas represent the switch positions, NOT the white switches themselves: a switch is up (ON) when the
black area is up, and a switch is down (OFF) when the black area is down. To set the eight switches to a particular value,
first choose the value from the chart below. Then set the eight switches to match the binary pattern to the left of the
corresponding Sign Number. 1 means UP and ON; 0 means DOWN and OFF.

Figure 9.
RedZone™ Overhead Sensor
3.3 Installing & Operating Loop Detectors, RedZone Overhead Sensors & Differential Zone Counters
The DZ Counters require an input signal from either an installed Loop Detector or a pair of RedZone Overhead Sensors. The
choice of which vehicle detection method to use usually comes down to whether the installation is in a new facility or an
upgrade to an existing facility with Loop Detectors already installed.
3.3.1 Installing Loop Detectors
RedStorm 2.0 takes the output from a loop detector and uses it to sense a vehicle’s presence. The loop detector output
MUST stay closed for as long a vehicle is over the loop. Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions and return to
these instructions once complete. Refer to Figure II on the Master Wiring Diagram on pages 18 - 19 for specific wiring detail.
3.3.2 Installing the RedZone Overhead Sensors
Signal-Tech’s RedZone Overhead Scanning Sensors require 12-24VDC and consume 100mA (.1Amp). Power for the sensor
is drawn from the RedStorm DZ Counter. The sensors are designed to operate in a temperature range between -4° to 140°
Fahrenheit. Each RedZone Sensor comes with an attached, 16 foot long cable used to connect the sensor to the RedStorm
Control Unit. This cable can be lengthened to a maximum of 350 feet using 4-conductor, 18 gauge cable. Refer to Figure HH
on the Master Wiring Diagram on pages 18 - 19 for specific wiring detail.
The RedZone Sensor is pre-configured at the factory as a ‘Normally closed’ contact. An LED indicator light on the face of the
senor will illuminate when the sensor is tripped.
A pair of RedZone Scanning Sensors MUST be installed at each vehicle scanning (counting) transition location. To ensure
accurate vehicle counts, place sensor pairs on the straightest part of an entrance, exit and or level/zone transition. A pair
of sensors is capable of handling both unidirectional and bidirectional vehicle counting. In bidirectional mode, the sensors
scan in an AB/BA sequence and communicate that information to the DZ Counter. The DZ Counter translates the scanning
sequence to AB/BA logic, adds and deducts and waits for the SuperMaster Controller to request count data. When data is
transferred to SuperMaster, the SuperMaster Controller updates the signage counts.
3.3.2.1 Bidirectional Sensor Logic
Bidirectional functionality is provided by the DZ Counter monitoring of the sensor inputs for a specific trip sequence.
This functionality is used when the DZ Counter is set to the following bidirectional sensor logic (Refer to Figure 10):
1. One of the sensors in a pair trips while the other is untripped. This will help determine the direction of travel.
2. The second sensor trips while the first sensor is still tripped.
Overlap
3. The first sensor that tripped is released, while the second sensor is still tripped. 300mS
4. The second sensor is released. A
5. A count is registered at this time. B

3.3.3 Mounting the RedZone Overhead Sensors

Front View Side View
When placing sensors, be sure the sensing field does not overshoot the
lane it is meant to scan (count) and keep the sensor scanning field away
from pedestrian walkways as this may interfere with accurate vehicle
counts. The sensors MUST be mounted in a location that is protected Optics center

3.3.4 Installing the DZ Counter and Enclosure
The DZ Counter should be located in a place protected from environmental elements. One (1) DZ Counter is required at
each transition point and is capable of monitoring up to two (2) pairs of RedZone Overhead Sensors or 4 loop detector
inputs.
We recommend mounting the enclosure with DZ Counter at eye level for ease of use during system maintenance. A 120VAC
power source is required at each DZ Counter location.
The RedZone Overhead Sensors draw their power from the DZ Counter. For optimal performance locate the sensors and
their associated DZ Counter within 50 feet of each other. This may be extended, by the installer, up to 350 feet using
4-conductor, 18 gauge cable.
Network DZ Counters and SuperMaster together using a RS-485, daisy-chained configuration. CAT5 cable or better should
be used to wire the network. Each daisy-chained network can be a maximum of 4,000 lineal feet and will support up to 32
devices. Proper terminating and bias resistors must be used. Wire in accordance with local electrical codes and weatherproof
all electrical connections made to the DZ Counter and enclosure. Refer to the TIA/EIA-485-A Guidelines for additional
requirements. Refer to Figure GG on the Master Wiring Diagram on pages 18 - 19 for specific wiring detail.
Critical: Star and parallel network patterns WILL lead to interference and insufficient communication signal strength
which WILL result in lost vehicle counts and incorrect or missing sign updates.
120VAC and low voltage should NOT be run in the same conduit.
We recommend having a knowledgeable telecom professional make the communication connections.

4.2 Installing Signage

To mount and power your signage, follow the installation and wiring instruction that shipped with them. If additional
copies are required, please contact Signal-Tech by phone.
4.2.1 Wiring Signage to the RedStorm Network
RedStorm 2.0 communicates to each sign using a 2-wire RS-485 network. Note: There are two (2) “G” (ground) connections
at the RS-485 plug; either one or both may be used as they are electrically tied together on the circuit board. Using one
of the “G” (ground) connections is necessary to ensure proper data transfer. Observe proper daisy-chain guidelines when
wiring the RedStorm sign network. Refer to Figure 1 on page 2 for details. Network connection for signs with multiple
7-segment displays within a sign will be made at the factory.
For specific wiring details on connecting the signage to the RedStorm 2.0 System refer to the RS-485 Repeater wiring, Figure
CC on the Master Wiring Diagram on page 18 - 19.
Critical: Communication and power wiring MUST be run through separate conduits to avoid cross-over interference.
ALL installations must be grounded. Additional protection against voltage transients on the network is highly
recommended.
4.2.2 Addressing Your Signs
Your Signal-Tech Space Available signage is designed to communicate with the RedStorm 2.0 SuperMaster Control via a
2-wire RS-485 network. The CC-Series 7-Segment Display Boards within each sign receives information from the RedStorm
SuperMaster Controller. Terminal blocks are present on the 7-Segment Display Boards, which are to be wired into the RS-
485 sign network. View the binary code dip switch configuration on the back of the board to determine the factory pre-set
address for the display or cycle power to the display and the display will briefly illuminate its address on power up.
Critical: DO NOT CHANGE THE PRE-SET ADDRESS. Doing so will cause the system to fail and it will not recognize the
proper inputs or display accurate vehicle counts.
