  Attach the cable

Tear the tab off the tube of silicon dielectric compound that came with the sensor.

Squeeze about half of the compound on the connector at the base of the sensor.

Insert the cable connector into the sensor connector. Be aware it’s a keyed connector.

Twist the cable connector clockwise until you hear it click into place.

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.

If there’s excess cable, don’t cut it, as you may need it in the future; leave it in the pole.

  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.

Use the included mounting brackets, and Band-It or a similar clamping system, to attach 

the Surge Preassembled Cabinet to the pole.

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. 

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.

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.

Repeat step 3 with the terminal blocks marked “To Traffic Cabinet.”

Make sure the box is grounded.

Use the included screws to mount the Standard Preassembled Backplate in the traffic cabinet.

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.

Terminate the conductors from the homerun cable into the terminal blocks marked “SmartSensor,” 

following the color scheme on the labels; do not strip the insulation on the conductors.

Make sure the backplate is grounded.

Note. 

This backplate doesn’t come with a communications module besides the Click 200; if you use 

one, mount it on the DIN rail.

  Look for vehicle detections in the SmartSensor Manager software

  Connect to SmartSensor Manager HD

Make a wired or wireless connection between your laptop and one of the Click 200s in 

the installation.

Launch SSM. Based on the kind of connection you’re making, select either the 

Serial 

(COM Port)

 or 

Internet (TCP/IP) 

radio button, and click 

OK

.

If necessary, click 

Advanced

 to change any necessary settings; then click 

CONNECT

.

In the menu bar, go to 

Edit > Lane Configuration

.

The screen that opens shows vehicle detections as moving blue dots, called trackers. If 

the trackers match traffic on the road, the sensor is working properly.

Note. 

For configuration instructions, see the 

SmartSensor V User Guide
