2Select a mounting height
Determine the oset by
measuring the distance
from the nearest detection
lane to the pole the sensor
is mounted on.
Find the recommended
mounting height by using
this table.

3Attach the sensor and mount bracket to the pole
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 V with the holes
on the mounting bracket. e large 26-pin connector on the
SmartSensor V 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.
4Align the sensor to the roadway
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.

5Attach the 8-conductor cable
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.

e SmartSensor V has internal surge protection, but the sensor must be properly grounded for the surge
protection to be eective.To achieve a good earth ground to the sensor follow the following steps:
1 Connect a grounding wire to the grounding lug on the bottom of the sensor.
2 Connect the other end of the grounding wire to the earth ground for the pole the sensor is mounted
on. If the pole is earth grounded, this can be done by drilling/tapping a hole in the pole and termi-
nating the grounding wire into this hole using a bolt, ensuring that a good electrical connection is
achieved. e grounding wire can also be terminated to a grounding rod at the base of the pole. Do not
run the grounding wire back to the main trac cabinet.
6Connect surge protection and power
If you bought a preassembled backplate, simply mount it in the main trac cabinet, then route the sensor’s
cable into the cabinet and terminate the wires into the blocks according to color. If you don’t have a preas-
sembled backplate, follow these steps to connect
power and comms to your sensor.
1 Disconnect the Click 200 from the DIN rail.
2 Disconnect the green screw terminals on the
PROTECTED side (top) of the Click 200
and wire the sensor cable as shown in the
diagram.
3 Mount the Click 200 on 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 UNPROTECTED side
(bottom) of the Click 200.
