Manufacturer’s recommended mount-
ing locations:
1 e near side of approach. is is
the preferred location.
2 On a luminaire. is location
oen reduces the oset and in-
creases the mounting height.
3 e back side of mast arm.
4 e front side of mast arm. At
this location, 100 feet or more of
the sensor’s range is used to cross
the width of the intersection.
2Select the mounting location
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
˽6-conductor cable and accessory cables
˽Click 650 or preassembled backplate
˽Laptop with SmartSensor Manager Advance
(SSMA) downloaded from wavetronix.com
˽Bucket truck

Follow the steps below to nd the target
location:
1 Determine mounting height (between
17 and 40 feet is recommended; typical
mounting height is about 25 feet).
2 Determine your oset. is is the dis-
tance from the sensor to the center of
the lanes of interest.
3 Use the table to the le to determine
your target distance.
Example. If your height is 25 feet and your
oset is 10 feet, you will want to aim the
sensor 60 feet down the road.

4Align the sensor to roadway
1 Pan and tilt the mount so that the mount head points to
the target location in the center of the lanes of interest.
2 Attach the sensor to the mount making sure the sensor
can still roll with respect to the mount head.
3 Attach the Advance viewnder by centering the arched
notch over the top-middle of the sensor and inserting it
into position.
4 From behind the sensor, tilt the sensor until the target
location lines up between the target crossbars.
5 Pan the sensor until the target location is centered be-
tween the notches in the target crossbar. When you have
the correct view angle, the bottom center notch should
also line up with the bottom part of the long, narrow
alignment bar.
6 Roll the sensor until the long, narrow bar is parallel with the center of the lanes of interest on the road-
way. Vehicle paths should be parallel to the long, narrow bar.
7 To verify your alignment within the upstream detection area, move your head down so you can see the
top crossbar and the archway, then make sure the archways overlap and the top tabs line up with the top
crossbar. Vehicle paths should still be parallel to the long, narrow bar.
8 Tighten down the pan and tilt bolts, then tighten down the four bolts on the backplate.
3Attach the sensor and mount bracket to the pole
1 Insert the stainless steel straps through the slots in the mount bracket, then position the mount on the
pole so the mount head points toward the lanes of interest at a 45° angle. Tighten the strap screws.
2 Align the bolts on the sensor’s backplate with the holes in the mount bracket. e eight-pin connector
receptacle on the bottom of the sensor should be pointing towards the ground.
3 Place the lock washers onto the bolts aer the bolts are in the mount bracket holes. read on the nuts
and tighten.
5Attach the 6-conductor cable and ground the sensor
1 Squeeze 25% of the silicon dielectric compound into the connector at the base of the sensor; wipe o excess.
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 with enough slack to reduce strain.
4 Connect a grounding wire to the grounding lug on the bottom of
the sensor.
5 Connect the other end of the grounding wire to the earth ground
for the pole that the sensor is mounted on.
6 Route the service end of the cable back to the main trac cabinet.
Align long, narrow bar
with middle of lanes

Sensor roll

6Terminate the 6-conductor cable into the terminal block section
Terminate the sensor cable into one of the four ports on the back of the Click 650. For
each sensor you want to connect to the Click 650, do the following:
1 Remove one of the plugs from the back (they are numbered 1–4; you’ll
need to keep track of which sensor is plugged into which port).
2 Terminate the conductors from the cable into that plug, following the labels
on the plug (as shown at right), then reconnect the plug to the Click 650.
3 Each sensor port has a corresponding RJ-11 jack, LED, and switch on
the faceplate of the Click 650. Make sure the switch is turned on.
4 On the faceplate of the device is an SDLC port; connect a cable there to
connect the Click 650, and its attached sensors, to the SDLC bus and, via
that bus, to the controller.
NOTE. If your cabinet doesn’t support SDLC, you can connect from the sensor port RJ-11 jacks to contact
closure cards and communicate with the controller that way.
7Connect SmartSensor Manager Advance to the sensor
1 Make a physical or wireless connection to the sensor; generally you do this via a Click 650 or other
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 222 surge protector the sensor is connected to.
2 Download SmartSensor Manager Advance from www.wavetronix.com/support.
3 Launch SSMA and click Communication on the main menu. Based on the kind of connection you’re
making, go to the Serial or Internet tab.
4 Change any necessary settings, such as port, speed or address, and click Connect.
8Enter installation details and configure sensor
1 Select Sensor Conguration from the main menu, then 1. Installation Details.
2 Make sure your alignment is accurate enough to detect vehicles for dilemma zone protection. Use the
controls on the right to record where the sensor is in relation to the stop bar and lanes of interest. Use
the Trac button to change the direction of trac.
3 Click OK to save your changes.
Follow the steps below to automatically congure the SmartSensor Advance:
1 Select 2. Automatic Radar Conguration from the main menu.
2 Click the Play button. e sensor will need to detect free owing trac in order to
nish the conguration.
3 Click the Close button once the sensor is congured.
4 Click on the 3. Manual Radar Adjustment link to adjust the sensor thresholds, if
necessary. When the sensor has detected enough vehicles, there should be some
variation to the thresholds. If the thresholds are all the same, go back to step 2 and
click Play while more vehicles are traveling down the approach.
5 Make the sensitivity level adjustments and click Enter.
6 Click the OK button to accept the modications and close the Edit Sensitivity resholds window.

1 Click Channels-Alerts-Zones on the main menu and then click the Setup
Channels-Alerts-Zones button.
2 Enable a channel by clicking the Enabled checkbox.
3 Select Simple from the Type drop-down list. To see information about other
channel types, see the SmartSensor Advance User Guide.
4 Adjust the size of the zone by using the Range (feet): up/down arrows or by manu-
ally grabbing the zone’s blue arrows and dragging them anywhere on the roadway.
5 If your installation has criteria for the range, speed and ETA, it should be changed
here. If not, contact the engineer responsible for the intersection. Click the Speed
and ETA checkboxes to activate the Speed and ETA parameters.
6 Click OK to save the channel settings.
If you are not seeing detections appear at the desired distance, contact Wavetronix Technical Services.
9Set up a simple channel
1 Go to Tools > Backup/Restore and specify where you want the backup le to be stored, then click
Back-up Sensor Setup.
2 To use a backup le, use the Restore Sensor Setup option on the same screen.
11 Set up sensors on the Click 650
Before connecting the Click 650 to your network, you need to set the
static IP address, subnet mask and default gateway (these numbers may
be assigned by your IT personnel). You will set these using the OLED
menu on the faceplate.
1 Navigate down to Network Setup and push the Accept (green check
mark) button to open the networking screen (shown right).
2 Set your desired IP address by following these steps: use the le and right arrow keys to highlight a
number, then use the up and down arrow keys to change that number. en move to the next number.
Repeat until all the numbers are changed.
3 Press the right key one last time to navigate down to the subnet mask line. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the
subnet mask and default gateway. When you’re done with all three, push the green check mark button to
conrm your changes.
4 Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 jack on the faceplate of the device to connect your Click 650 to
your network.
5 Connect to the web interface to congure the Click 650. Using the web interface, you’ll be able to map sen-
sor channels to detector channels and monitor sensor connections.
