The Sprite is capable of recording in its memory up to several years of data collected under user defined parameters.
This data, once collected, can then be read out into your computer where it can be printed, edited, and otherwise
used to generate comprehensive traffic analysis reports.
Some tips to prolong the life of your Sprite
• Always dry the unit out completely after removing from the field.
• Remove batteries from unit when it is not in use. Make sure you retrieve any needed data
beforehand.
• Disconnect serial interface plug if serial communication is not required.  This will prolong
battery life by more than a factor of 30.
• Avoid placement of unit in drainage ditches or areas prone to flooding.
• Don’t leave counter display on when collecting data. Keep pressing <Previous> until
display blanks.  Counter will automatically enter a low power mode after 10 minutes of no
keypad or serial operation. Press <Next> to wake counter up.

Introduction
How To Use This Manual
This manual completely describes the use of the Sprite.  The only exception
is for actual retrieval of data once it has been collected.  That information 
is contained in the TrafMan Software Instruction Manual.
All users of the Sprite should read all of Sections III, and III of this
manual.  This will familiarize you with the basic equipment provided, what
types of data you can collect, and what type of sensors can be used. From
that point, you have three choices:
To operate the Sprite from its built in keypad.  All setup and configuration can be done from
there.  A computer can be used to retrieve the data after it has been collected or the data can be
manually read off of the Sprite display.  If this is your application, first read Section IV.a and
then read through the Section V examples to become familiar with basic operation.  Refer to the
rest of Section IV on an as-needed basis for more information.
To operate the Sprite from a computer (using the TrafMan Software).  All setup and
configuration can be done from a computer (in addition to retrieving the collected data).  If this is 
your application, refer to the TrafMan Software  for more information.  Use this manual for
clarification and technical information.
