1 Determine the oset by

measuring the distance
from the nearest detec­tion lane to the pole the
sensor is mounted on.

2 Find the recommended

mounting height by us­ing this table.

e range of ideal osets is

Tilt the sensor down towards the center of the trac

Attach the sensor and mount bracket to the pole

3

Attach the mount bracket to the pole:

1 Insert the stainless steel straps through the slots in the mount

bracket.

2 Position the mount on the pole so that the head of the mount

is pointing towards the middle of the lanes of interest.

3 Tighten the strap screws.

Attach the sensor to the mount bracket:

1 Align the bolts on the back of the SmartSensor with the

holes on the mounting bracket. e large 25-pin connector on
the SmartSensor should be pointing towards the ground.

2 Place the lock washers onto the bolts after the bolts are in the mounting bracket holes.
3 read on the nuts and tighten.

Align the sensor to the roadway

4

1 Tilt the sensor down so that the front is aimed at the center of the detection area.
2 Adjust the side-to-side angle to within approximately 2° of perpendicular to the ow of trac.
3 Tighten the mounting bracket bolts.

Attach the 9-conductor cable

5

1 Tear the tab o the tube of silicon dielectric compound and squeeze

about 25% of the silicon into the connector at the base of the SmartSen­sor. Wipe o any excess compound.

2 Insert the cable into the connector and twist clockwise until you hear it

click into place.

3 To avoid undue movement from wind, strap the cable to the pole or run

it through a conduit, but leave a small amount of slack at the top of the
cable to reduce strain.
