Mount the sensor
Defi nition.
Off set is the distance between
the pole the sensor is mounted on and the
edge of the fi rst lane to be detected.
Note.
For a more complete version of the
table, and more information about mount-
ing, refer to the
SmartSensor V User Guide
.
1
Prepare the sensor while still on the ground: remove the large bolts holding
the end knuckle to the mount, then use the four small bolts and lock washers
to attach the knuckle to the sensor backplate.
2
Once you’re ready to mount the sensor on the pole: insert the mounting
straps through the slots on the mount.
3
Position the mount on the pole at the height you chose from the table above.
4
Tighten the straps.
5
Attach the knuckle you prepared earlier to the mount using the large bolts
(the cable connector should be pointed down). Don’t tighten completely yet,
as you still need to align the sensor to the roadway.

1
Tilt the sensor down so the front is aimed at the center of the detection area.
2
If the sensor is installed on a road with an uphill/downhill grade, rotate the sensor so that the bottom edge matches the grade of
the road (this will require the purchase of a rotating sensor backplate).
3
Adjust the side-to-side angle so it’s perpendicular to the fl ow of traffi c.
Note.
Th e mounting location for your SmartSensor HD sensor(s) should have already been determined as part of the design process. If
it has not been, please consult the SmartSensor HD User Guide for complete design and installation guidelines.
