Attach the cable
1
Tear the tab off the tube of silicon dielectric compound that came with the sensor.
2
Squeeze about half of the compound on the connector at the base of the sensor.
3
Insert the cable connector into the sensor connector. Be aware it’s a keyed connector.
4
Twist the cable connector clockwise until you hear it click into place.
5
Run the cable through the pole. Leave a small amount of slack at the top; this
reduces strain and allows you to create a drip loop.
6
If there’s excess cable, don’t cut it, as you may need it in the future; leave it in the pole.
6
Set up the traffic cabinet
5
Set up the pole-mount box
Note.
Not all installations will include a pole-mount box; if yours doesn’t, disregard this section.
1
Use the included mounting brackets, and Band-It or a similar clamping system, to attach the Surge
Preassembled Cabinet to the pole.
2
Insert the sensor cable (pigtail cable coming from the sensor) through the rightmost cable grip on
the bottom of the box; twist the grip to tighten.
3
Terminate the conductors in the terminal blocks marked “To SmartSensor,” following the color
scheme on the labels; do not strip the insulation on the conductors.
4
Insert one end of the homerun cable (the cable that runs to the traffic cabinet) through the leftmost
grip, and twist the grip to tighten.
5
Repeat step 3 with the terminal blocks marked “To Traffic Cabinet.”
6
Make sure the box is grounded.

1
Use the included screws to mount the Standard Preassembled Backplate in the traffic cabinet.
2
Terminate the conductors from the power cable into the terminal blocks marked “110 VAC,”
following the color scheme on the labels; do not strip the insulation on the conductors.
3
Terminate the conductors from the homerun cable into the terminal blocks marked “Smart-
Sensor,” following the color scheme on the labels; do not strip the insulation on the conductors.
4
Make sure the backplate is grounded.
Note.
The backplate includes a Click 200, which has RS-232 and RS-485 ports for communications.
If you’d like to use a different Click communication device, mount it on the DIN rail.

Connect to SmartSensor Manager HD
1
Make a wired or wireless connection between your laptop and one of the Click 200s in the installation.
2
Launch SSMHD and click
Connect
on the main menu. Based on the kind of connection you’re mak-
ing, go to the Serial or Internet screen. Change any necessary settings, and click
Connect
.
3
On the main SSMHD screen, click the
Lanes
button, then click
Configuration
.
4
Click the magnifying glass icon to open the View menu, then click
Show Alignment
. To see an arrow
for each lane, click the sidebar button until the number 1 appears.
5
Watch the arrows to see where the sensor’s alignment is at.
6
If necessary, move the sensor manually to fix it. Give the software a few moments after each sensor move-
ment to adjust; a few vehicles need to pass by before it can report on the new alignment.
Note.
For configuration instructions, see the
SmartSensor HD User Guide
.
