www.wavetronix.com 801.734.7200 SmartSensor Matrix INSTALLATION QUICK START GUIDE 1 Choose a mounting height/offset ˽ If mounting on a mast arm, where the height can largely not be changed, use the table at right to choose an offset (distance from the first lane of interest). ˽ If mounting on a vertical pole, where the offset can largely not be changed, use the table to choose a mounting height. ˽ In general, mount the sensor about 20 ft. ± 5 ft. (6.1 m ± 1.5 m) above the road surface. 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 Insert the mounting straps through the slots on the mount. 3 Position the mount on the pole in the spot you chose from the mounting table in the previous step. 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. Offset Height 6–15 ft 12–25 ft 15–50 ft 15–25 ft > 50 ft 25–60 ft 1 Tilt the sensor down so it is aimed at the center of the lanes of interest. 2 Adjust the side-to-side angle so that the sensor’s 90º field of view covers the approach. Note. Make sure the front edge of the sensor’s footprint covers beyond the stop bar. This allows you to detect vehicles that do not stop at or behind the stop bar. 3 Align the sensor to the roadway 2 Mount the sensor Note. The mounting location for your SmartSensor Matrix sensor(s) should have already been determined as part of the design pro- cess. If it has not been, please consult the SmartSensor Matrix User Guide for complete design and installation guidelines. 1 Connect a 12 AWG grounding wire to the grounding lug on the bottom of the sensor. 2 If the intersection is bonded, connect the other end of the grounding wire to the earth ground for the pole that the sensor is mounted on. If the intersection is not bonded, run the grounding wire down the pole, alongside the cable, back to cabinet ground. 4 Ground the sensor

T e mounting location for your SmartSensor Matrix sensor(s) should have already been determined as part of the design pro- cess. If it has not been, please consult the SmartSensor Matrix User Guide for complete design and installation guidelines. Use the table at right to choose a suitable of set (distance from the f rst lane of interest), based on the height of the span wires you’ll be mounting on. 1 Prepare the sensor while still on the ground: remove the large bolts holding the end knuckle (the one with four holes) to the mount, then use the four small bolts and lock washers to attach the removed knuckle to the sensor backplate. 2 Secure a span wire hanger assembly, namely the PELCO SP-1050-FL-L-SP0003 or SP-2045-FL-L, to the top and bottom span wire. If the hanger assembly is too long for the location and part of it hangs below the span wire, we recommend that you cut of the excess. If the hanger assembly is too short for the location, switch to a hanger assembly with a longer extension bar. 3 Use the 5/16 bolts that were included with the Pelco hanger assembly to attach the rest of the span wire mount to the hanger assembly (the knuckle with six holes is the one that attaches to the span wire assembly). It’s recommended that you put the mount roughly in the middle of the extension bar, for stability. 4 Attach the knuckle/sensor 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. Offset Height 6–15 ft 12–25 ft 15–50 ft 15–25 ft > 50 ft 25–60 ft 1 Tilt the sensor down so it is aimed at the center of the lanes of interest. 2 Adjust the side-to-side angle so that the sensor’s 90º f eld of view covers the approach. Note. Make sure the front edge of the sensor’s footprint covers beyond the stop bar. T is allows you to detect vehicles that do not stop at or behind the stop bar. 3 Align the sensor to the roadway 2 Mount the sensor T e SmartSensor Matrix can be installed in two ways: � On a pole or mast arm, using the SmartSensor mount. � On two vertically aligned span wires, using the SmartSensor span wire mount. T e intersection must conform to certain require- ments in this case; see the knowledge base article called Using the Span Wire Mount for more information. T is document will cover installations using the span wire mount. For the regular mount, see the SmartSensor Matrix quick start guide.

SmartSensor HD QUICK-REFERENCE GUIDE www.wavetronix.com 801.734.7200 2 Select a mounting height 1 Ensure that all necessary components are available You will need a number of items in order to install your sensor, including but not limited to the items below: Use the table to select the mount- ing height for the sensor based on the offset from the nearest detec- tion lane. The range of ideal offsets is highlighted in gray. If possible, use the height contained in the second column (Recommended Mounting Height). In areas with a lot of truck traffic, consider a higher mounting height to help mitigate occlusion. Note. This table is truncated. For a complete table, refer to the HD user guide.

The sensor alignment will need to be fine-tuned later, so keep the straps slightly loose. 3 Attach the sensor to the bracket; the connector at the bottom of the unit should point towards the ground. 4 Place the lock washers onto the bolts, thread on the nuts and tighten. 3 Attach the sensor and mount bracket to the pole all-guides.c om
