2Select a mounting height
1Ensure that all necessary components are available
You will need a number of items in order to install your sensor, including but not limited to the items below:
Use the table to select the mount-
ing height for the sensor based on
the oset from the nearest detec-
tion lane. e range of ideal osets
is highlighted in gray. If possible,
use the height contained in the
second column (Recommended
Mounting Height).
In areas with a lot of truck trac,
consider a higher mounting height
to help mitigate occlusion.
Note. is table is truncated. For
a complete table, refer to the HD
user guide.

1 Attach the mount bracket to the pole using the straps.
2 Tighten the strap screws partway. e sensor alignment will need to
be ne-tuned later, so keep the straps slightly loose.
3 Attach the sensor to the bracket; the connector at the bottom of the
unit should point towards the ground.
4 Place the lock washers onto the bolts, thread on the nuts and tighten.
3Attach the sensor and mount bracket to the pole

4Align the sensor to the roadway
5Attach the cable and pole-mount cabinet
1 Tilt the sensor down so that the front is aimed at the center of the detection area, as shown below.
To attach the cable to the sensor and the pole:
1 Squeeze about 25% of the silicon dielectric compound into the connector
at the base of the sensor. Wipe o any excess.
2 Insert the cable into the connector and twist clockwise until it clicks.
3 To reduce strain, strap the cable to the pole or run it through a conduit,
leaving a small amount of slack at the top, as shown.
To attach the pole-mount cabinet to the pole:
1 Attach the mounting brackets to the back of the pole-mount box;
thread in the mounting straps.
2 Attach the pole-mount box to the pole using the mounting straps.
3 Run the sensor/homerun cables through the cable grips on the bot-
tom of the pole-mount box.
2 Adjust the side-to-side angle
as close to perpendicular to
the ow of trac as possible.
is will be ne-tuned later.
6Connect surge protection and power
Standard HDs use the 8-conductor cable. To land this cable from the
sensor to the Click 200 in the pole-mount cabinet, do the following:
1 Disconnect the Click 200 from the DIN rail.
2 Disconnect the green screw terminals on the appropriate side of
the Click 200 and wire the sensor cable as shown at right.
3 Connect the Click 200 to the DIN rail.
4 Connect the ground terminal to the DIN rail and the earth
ground wire to the lug bolt on the bottom of the pole-mount box.
5 Connect the exterior lug bolt to earth ground.
6 Connect 10–30 VDC to the +DC and –DC terminals on the
appropriate side of the Click 200.
Note. e Click 200 has sides marked PROTECTED and UNPRO-
TECTED; which you use depends on your installation. If you’re
unsure, consult Chapter 2 of the SmartSensor HD User Guide or
Wavetronix Technical Services. This image shows wiring into the protected side, as
you would do if you had an underground cable run
connecting the pole-mount box to a trac cabinet.

7Make a connection
Open SmartSensor Manager HD (SSMHD) on your laptop to connect to the
sensor:
1 Make a physical or wireless connection to the sensor; generally you
do this via a Click device that has a communication connection with the
sensor—for instance, you could connect to an Ethernet device on the
same T-bus as the Click 200 surge protector the sensor is connected to.
2 Launch SSMHD and click Communication on the main menu. Based on
the kind of connection you’re making, go to the Serial or Internet tab.
3 Change any necessary settings, such as port, speed or address, and click Connect.
1 Select Lane Setup from the main menu, then 1. Sensor Alignment.
2 Adjust the sensor according to the arrow. A green arrow means the sensor is
positioned for optimal performance; a yellow or red arrow means the sensor is
NOT correctly aligned with the roadway. If the sensor is too far out of align-
ment, you’ll receive an error message pop-up.
3 Tighten the strap screws holding the mounting bracket the rest of the way once
the sensor is aligned properly.
For this tool to function properly, trac must be owing freely. Each time you adjust
the sensor, several vehicles need to pass before the alignment tool’s output is valid.
From the SSMHD main menu, open Settings, to congure certain settings for this sensor.
˽Description – (General tab) Add text here to help you identify the sensor later.
˽Location – (General tab) Add the sensor’s location here to help you identify it
later.
˽Output Type – (Advanced tab) Ensure that this is set to Antenna.
8Enter the sensor settings
Follow the steps below to automatically congure the SmartSensor HD:
1 From the Lane Setup window, click 2. Lane Conguration.
2 In the window that opens, click the Tools icon and select Clear Edit Area.
3 Click the Tools icon again and then click Restart Auto Cfg. Click OK.
4 As the tool runs, blue lanes will appear where the sensor detects them. Once
all the lanes have been detected and placed, Click OK. If no lanes appear,
click on the magnifying glass and make the top line says “Hide Auto Lanes”;
this indicates lanes are set to be shown.
5 A window will pop up to ask if you’d like to save the conguration. Choose Yes.

10 Set up data collection
e Data Setup & Collection link on the main screen lets you set up data collec-
tion. For a basic HD installation, you will need to congure the following settings.
Definitions
Select Data Setup & Collection from the main screen, then click on Bin Deni-
tions. In this section you will dene classications of vehicles based on certain
criteria; once bins are set, data can be collected for these groups of vehicles.
˽For class, use the -/ +buttons under the class section to add or remove bins.
˽For speed, use the -/ +buttons under the speed section to add or remove bins.
˽For any given bin, click on it and type or use the -/ +buttons to change the
denitions.
Click OK when you’re done.
Interval Data
Click Interval Data on the Data Collection screen to change the interval (a dened
period of time in which data is collected about all vehicles that pass the sensor).
Once the screen is open, click the clock icon and change the time, then click OK.
Approaches
Click Approaches on the Data Collection screen to congure your approches (lane
groupings used in data collection). To create approaches:
1 Select the lane for the approach from the Lanes list on the le, then click the
right-facing arrow to assign them to the approach.
2 Repeat step 1 for all lanes you want in the approach.
3 Enter a name for your approach in the text eld at the top of the window.
4 Click OK to save.
11 Create a backup
Aer conguring the sensor, you should always make a backup of the sensor settings.
1 Select Tools from the main menu, then click Backup/Restore.
2 Under the Back-up File heading, click on the magnifying glass. In the window
that opens, navigate to where you want the backup le to be stored. Give the
backup le a name, and then hit OK.
3 Click Back-up Sensor Setup.
To use a backup le, use the Restore Sensor Setup option on the same screen.
