QUICK START GUIDE
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:
˽Mount bracket and Band-It clamping system
˽Sensor cable and homerun cable
˽Click equipment and pole-mount box
˽Laptop with SmartSensor Manager, downloaded
from wavetronix.com
˽Bucket truck
2Select a mounting height
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 Smart-
Sensor V 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
1 Tilt the sensor down so that the front is aimed at the center of the detection area, as shown below.
2 Adjust the side-to-side angle
as close to perpendicular to
the ow of trac as possible.
5Attach the cable and pole-mount cabinet
To attach the cable to the sensor and the pole:
1 Squeeze about 25% of the silicon dielectric compound into the con-
nector 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 con-
duit, 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.
6Connect surge protection and power
Standard Vs 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 un-
sure, consult Chapter 2 of the SmartSensor V User Guide or Wavetro-
nix 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 (SSM) on your laptop to connect to
the sensor:
1 Make a physical or wireless connection to the sensor; gener-
ally 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 SSM and click on the Serial,Modem or Internet
radio button depending on the kind of connection you’re
making.
3 Click OK.
8Enter the sensor settings
Go to Edit > Sensor Settings to access the Sensor Settings. e
Sensor Settings window contains three tabs that allow you to edit
the following settings (if necessary):
˽Serial Number – Text elds for identication
˽Multi-drop ID – Text elds for identication
˽Description/Location – Text elds for identication
˽RF Channel – Prevents radars from interfering
˽Measurement Units – English or Metric
˽Baud Rate – Normally set at 9600 bps
˽Other data collection settings
1 Select Edit > Lane Conguration.
2 Once the Lane Conguration page opens, click on the Auto-
matic button.
3 If you would like to set constraints on the conguration, use
the Edit Range Blinders and Manage Gains buttons (see the
SmartSensor V User Guide for more information).
4 Click the Restart button.
5 Conrm the conguration restart by clicking Yes in the box
that appears. SmartSensor Manager will now automatically
begin detecting and conguring lanes. e conguration
process will take a few minutes, depending on trac ow.
6 Aer the lanes have been detected and congured correctly, save the conguration by clicking the
Finished button.
9Auto-configure the sensor
