Follow the steps below to wire
the contact closure outputs to
a controller, data logger or BIU
(bus interface unit):
1
Wire the screw terminals
on the top of the device
labeled 1–8. These termi-
nals represent the primary
outputs with primary one (P1) representing the lane closest to the sensor. For dual-loop emulation, the contact closure
outputs must be wired with the primary always leading the secondary.
2
Wire the bottom screw terminals also labeled 1–8. These terminals represent the secondary outputs, with secondary one
(S1) representing the lane closest to the sensor.
3
Wire one of the remaining GND screw terminals to a logic ground. One GND terminal must be connected for the primary
and secondary outputs to function.

Operating mode
Presence –
Outputs contact closures for single-loop or dual-loop emulation. Dual-loop emulation will signal
the radar’s speed and duration measurements; single-loop emulation will signal the radar’s duration (no
speed information).
Pulse –
Outputs contact closures for single-loop or dual-loop emulation. Dual-loop emulation will signal
the radar’s speed measurement using the time elapsed between the onset of the primary and secondary
outputs (no duration measurement); single-loop emulation will signal that the radar detected a vehicle (no
duration or speed information).
Actuation –
Outputs contact closures for single-loop emulation. This is the only mode used by SmartSensor
Advance.
One-Loop Speed –
Outputs contact closures for single-loop emulation. The duration is based upon the
speed of the detected vehicle.
Autobaud –
Hold the push-button until the green LED flashes. While autobauding, the green and yellow
LEDs will flash intermittently, as well as the 16 digital output LEDs. If the autobauding is unsuccessful, the
LEDs will remain in that state indefinitely. If it’s successful, the yellow LED will flash, then the device will
return to its normal state and default to the Presence mode.
