4.3.2 Placement of Pedestals
Pedestals must be mounted between 800 and 915 mm apart (edge to edge) for maximum
reliable performance. There should be at least one pair of pedestals at each entrance/exit point of
the library. There should be a pedestal at each edge of the entrance, and a clear space of at least
500 mm around the edge of the pedestals to ensure that the antennas will not be detuned. This
clear space must not contain any metallic objects, but may contain some substrates such as non-
metallic/non-conductive building materials such as wood, glass, chipboards and plasterboards.
Be cautious to properly align the pedestal in order to centre the photoelectric beam sensor on the
reflector of the next pedestal.

distance (36 in. face panel to

distance (31½ in.) between a
pedestal and large metal
object.

Master pedestals (specific
synchronization ID, see
section 5.2 “Understanding
the L-SP2 Synchronization
Process”).
CAUTION: In case several pedestal row to be installed it is recommended every L-SP2 gate
being positioned in the same direction (the people counter of each looking toward the same
direction)
CAUTION: Each L-SP2 should be installed within following tolerances:
Horizontal angular alignment tolerance with reference to pedestals alignment: 0° +/-2°
Vertical angular tolerance with reference to ground surface : 90° +/-1°
