Selecting a Mounting Location
Consider the following guidelines when selecting a mounting location:
„„ Lane Coverage – Sensor mounting locations should be selected so that all
„„
„„
monitored lanes are within 10 to 200 ft. (3 to 61 m) and run parallel with
each other. If more than eight lanes need to be simultaneously monitored,
consider using multiple sensors or the SmartSensor HD, which can monitor
up to 10 lanes simultaneously.
Parallel Lanes – When the sensor is used to collect both mainline and
ramp data, the pole position should be selected so that the on and off ramp
lanes run parallel with the mainline. If lanes are not parallel, installation
of multiple SmartSensor units should be considered to achieve the sensor’s
±2° side-to-side angle requirement.
Sensors on the Same Pole – When multiple sensors are mounted on the
same pole, they will not be subject to interference if they are configured to
operating using different RF channels and are separated vertically by a few
feet. The higher sensor would typically be used for the lanes further from
INTRODUCTION o SMARTSENSOR USER GUIDE
the pole in order to minimize occlusion.
„„ Sensors on Opposing Poles – SmartSensor units facing each other on
„„
„„
„„
„„
„„
opposing poles should operate on different RF channels and be separated
by a 40-ft. (12.2-m) lateral offset, if possible.
Line of Sight – The SmartSensor is designed to work accurately in the
presence of barriers, but in general if there is an alternate mounting
location that would avoid any type of structural occlusion, this is
preferred. Avoid occlusion by trees, signs, and other roadside structures.
Neighboring Structures and Parallel Walls – It is also preferred that
sensor locations have a 30-ft. (9.1-m) lateral separation from overhead sign
bridges, overpasses, tunnels, parallel walls and parallel-parked vehicles in
order to avoid multiple reflection paths from a single vehicle.
Mounting Height – The mounting height should be based upon the offset
from the lanes of interest. For each offset, the minimum, maximum and
recommended range of heights is shown in Table 1.1, found in chapter 1. In
general, the range of recommended heights is between 9 and 50 ft. (2.7 to
15.2 m).
Mounting Offset – The minimum recommended offset from the edge of
the first lane of interest is 10 ft. (3 m).
Arterial Locations – Sensor sites on arterials or other roadway segments
with regulated stop lines should be selected at mid-block positions to
increase accuracy by increasing line of sight to stop-and-go vehicles.
Figure I.1 – Portable (left) and Permanent (right) Sensor Stations
„„ Freeway Locations – SmartSensor is often used at permanent ATR
stations. The number of stations along a single roadway and the distance
between stations should be selected to achieve adequate levels of statistical
8
INTRODUCTION o SMARTSENSOR USER GUIDE
„„
confidence. Permanent ATR stations, which are selected to cover interstate,
principal arterial and other national and state highways, are used to
establish seasonal adjustment factors for count data from temporary
collection sites (see Figure I.1).
Cable Lengths – Ensure that you have sufficient homerun and sensor
cabling. Cable runs as long as 600 ft. (182.9 m) using 24 VDC operation
and RS-485 communications. For longer connections, alternate wired and
wireless options should be considered.

Table 1.1 – Mounting Height Guidelines
Attaching the Mount Bracket to the Pole
Before attaching the mount bracket to the pole, first make sure that your cables
are long enough to reach the sensor height and to stretch across the distance
from the sensor to the cabinet.
Follow the steps below to correctly attach the mount to the pole (see Figure 1.2):
Look up the recommended mounting height from Table 1.1.
Insert the stainless steel straps through the slots in the mount bracket.
Position the mount on the pole so that the head of the mount is pointing
towards the middle of the lanes of interest.
Tighten the strap screws.

CHAPTER 1 o INSTALLING THE SMARTSENSOR 105
Figure 1.2 – Attaching the Mount Bracket to the Pole
Note
Depending on the site and type of traffic, the sensor may tend to overor undercount. If the sensor is overcounting, reduce the height of the
sensor by three ft. (0.9 m) and reconfigure the sensor. If the sensor is
undercounting, increase the height of the sensor by three ft. (0.9 m)
and reconfigure. Normally, reducing the height of the sensor improves
performance.
Attaching the Sensor to the Mount Bracket
Use the following steps to securely fasten the sensor to the mount bracket (see
Figure 1.3).
Align the bolts on the back of the SmartSensor with the holes in the
mounting bracket. The large 25-pin connector on the SmartSensor should
be pointing towards the ground.
Place the lock washers onto the bolts after the bolts are in the mounting
bracket holes.
Thread on the nuts and tighten.

CHAPTER 1 o INSTALLING THE SMARTSENSOR 105
Applying Silicon Dielectric Compound
Use the following steps to correctly apply the silicon dielectric compound:
Tear the tab off the tube of silicon dielectric compound.
Squeeze about 25% of the silicon into the connector at the base of the
SmartSensor as shown in Figure 1.5. Be sure to wipe off any excess
compound.
Figure 1.5 – Applying Silicon Dielectric Compound
Connecting the SmartSensor Cable
Attach the cable connector to the 25-pin connector at the base of the
SmartSensor as shown in Figure 1.6. The SmartSensor connector is keyed
to ensure proper connection; simply twist the connector clockwise until
you hear it click into place.
Strap the cable to the pole or run it through a conduit to avoid undue
movement from wind and reduce cable strain.

Wiring Communication
Once the sensor is installed, it will need to be wired for power and surge
protection. This chapter will explain how to connect lightning surge protection,
AC power conversion, DC power and basic communication.
Wavetronix Click! products allow you to quickly and easily connect power and
surge protection to your sensor application. Please refer to the Click! quickstart guides for more comprehensive product instructions. Chapter 9 contains
information on how Click! products make the sensor compatible with all
standard control cabinets.
A pinout diagram showing the sensor cable’s pinout and appropriate connection
points can be found in Appendix A of this document.
Connecting Lightning Surge Protection
It is strongly recommended that the sensor be connected to a surge protection
device. The Wavetronix Click! 200 and equivalent devices are designed to
prevent electrical surges conducted along underground cables from damaging
the sensor and/or the cabinet. The service end of the sensor cable should be
connected to the PROTECTED side of the Click! 200 in a cabinet mounted on the
sensor pole. This will help protect the sensor when lightning strikes the ground
in the vicinity of the cabinet (see Figure 2.1).

Note
If you choose not to use surge protection in your installation, please contact
Wavetronix Technical Services for assistance.
In many installations, the pole-mount cabinet is also connected to a main traffic
cabinet via an underground homerun cable. To protect the traffic cabinet, a
second surge device is strongly recommended. Follow the steps below to include
surge protection using Click! 200 devices (see Figure 2.2):
Install one Click! 200 device in a pole-mount box on the same pole as the
sensor being protected.
Install another Click! 200 in the main traffic cabinet.
Connect the SmartSensor cable from the sensor to the PROTECTED side of
the Click! 200 in the pole-mount cabinet. The SmartSensor cable should be
kept as short as possible.
Connect a SmartSensor cable from the UNPROTECTED side of the Click!
200 on the pole to the UNPROTECTED side of the Click! 200 in the main
traffic cabinet.

Figure 2.2 – Typical Cable Run
The Click! 200 contains three terminal connectors on both the top and the
bottom of the module (see Figure 2.3). The terminal connectors are removable
and are red-keyed, allowing the connector to plug into only one specific jack.
This both simplifies the wiring process and reduces the possibility of wiring
errors.
The back four terminals consist of one +DC power, -DC and two surge ground
connections; the middle four terminals are for RS-485 communication and
consist of a +485 connection, a -485 connection, an RS-232 ground connection
and a surge ground connection; the front four terminals are for RS-232
communication and consist of TD, RD, CTS and RTS.

connections, but are reversed from left to right.
Note
See Appendix B for a description of how to wire the Click! 200 using the old
SmartSensor cable as well as for a cable connector pin out diagram.
Wiring to Earth Ground
ALL Click! 200 devices should be mounted on a DIN rail that is connected to
earth ground either through an earth-grounded chassis or a 16 AWG or larger
grounding wire attached to a 7-ft. (2.1-m) grounding rod. Follow the steps below
to correctly wire to earth ground:
Connect the grounding wire from either the DIN rail or a GND screw
terminal on the UNPROTECTED side of the Click! 200 to the lug bolt on the
inside of the pole-mount box.
Connect another grounding wire from the exterior lug bolt to earth ground
(see Figure 2.4).
CHAPTER 2 o CONNECTING POWER AND SURGE PROTECTION
Figure 2.4 – Earth Ground Connections
Connecting AC Power Conversion
Since the sensor operates on 10-30 VDC, it is necessary to provide AC power
conversion when reliable DC power is not already available. Wavetronix
recommends using the following three Click! components:
„„ Click! 201/202 AC to DC converter
„„ Click! 230 AC surge module
„„ Click! 210 circuit breaker and switch
Warning
Make sure power to AC mains is disconnected while wiring the AC input.
A Click! 201 provides 1 amp of power and is capable of powering a single sensor,
while a Click! 202 provides 2 amps and can power two sensors. The Click! 230
helps limit current surges on the power lines; the Click! 210 interrupts power
during overload conditions and provides a convenient way to turn power on and
off.
Depending on your configuration, these Click! modules may be mounted in the
pole-mount cabinet or the main traffic cabinet. When mounted in the main traffic
cabinet, a homerun cable is used to conduct DC power and communication
signals to the pole-mount cabinet. For connections shorter than 600 ft. (182.9 m),
use the SmartSensor cable as your homerun cable. This will simplify the wiring
process and ensure reliable connections.

CHAPTER 2 o CONNECTING POWER AND SURGE PROTECTION
Caution
An authorized electrical technician should perform installation and
operation of this unit. Persons other than authorized and approved
electrical technicians should NOT attempt to connect this unit to a power
supply and/or traffic control cabinet, as there is a serious risk of electrical
shock through unsafe handling of the power source. Extreme caution
should be used when connecting this unit to an active power supply.
Wiring a Circuit Breaker and Switch
The Click! 210 is a compact circuit breaker DIN rail device designed to interrupt
an electric current under overload conditions. The breaker is trip-free and can be
easily reset after a current interruption by pushing the reset button.
To add a Click! 210 circuit breaker and switch (see Figure 2.5):
Mount the Click! 210 onto the DIN rail.
Connect power in to either side of the module.
Connect power out to the other side.
Figure 2.5 – AC Surge Protection
Wiring AC Surge Protection
To include AC surge protection in your installation (see Figure 2.3):
Mount the Click! 230 onto the DIN rail.
Connect the line conductor (hot) from the Click! 210 to terminal 5 on the IN
side of the Click! 230.
Connect the neutral wire from the AC terminal block or cord to the
terminal marked 1 on the Click! 230.
CHAPTER 2 o CONNECTING POWER AND SURGE PROTECTION
Connect the ground wire from the AC terminal block or cord to the
terminal marked 3 on the Click! 230.
Connect the outgoing and protected line wire to the terminal marked 2 on
the Click! 230.
Connect the outgoing and protected neutral wire to the terminal marked 6
on the Click! 230.
The terminal blocks 3 and 4 are directly bonded via the metal mounting foot of
the base element to the DIN rail. There is no need for any additional grounding
between terminals 3 and 4 and the DIN rail.
Wiring AC Power Into the Click! 201/202
Follow the steps below to properly wire an AC to DC power conversion module
(see Figure 2.6):
Mount the Click! 201/202 onto the DIN rail.
Connect the line (hot) wire from the Click! 230 into the L screw terminal on
the top of the Click! 201/202. The line wire is usually black.
Connect the neutral wire from the Click! 230 to the N screw terminal to the
top of the Click! 201/202. The neutral wire is usually white.
Figure 2.6 – Wiring AC Power into the Click! 201/202
Note
The NC screw terminal is not connected internally. Connecting a wire to a
no connect (NC) terminal simply gives it a convenient termination point.
Wiring DC Power Out of the Click! 201/202
Connect a +DC conductor (usually a red wire) to the + screw terminal on
the bottom of the Click! 201/202 (see Figure 2.7).
25
26
CHAPTER 2 o CONNECTING POWER AND SURGE PROTECTION
Connect a -DC conductor (usually a black wire) to either of the - screw
terminals on the bottom of the Click! 201/202.
Figure 2.7 – Wiring DC Power Out of the Click! 201/202
Note
Do not use the screw terminal marked DCOK; it provides only 20 mA and
should be used only for monitoring the power supply.
The screw terminal connectors on the top and bottom of the module are
removable to simplify wiring and are red-keyed, allowing the connector to plug
into only one correct jack.
Connecting DC Power
To power the sensor, 10-30 VDC needs to be connected to the Click! 200 in the polemount cabinet. Additionally, if there is a main traffic cabinet connected by a
homerun cable, you will need to connect DC power to the Click! 200 in that cabinet.
In the Pole-Mount Cabinet
Whether DC voltage comes from a homerun cable or from a Click! 201/202 within
the pole-mount cabinet, you can always wire the DC wires to the last screw
terminal on the UNPROTECTED side of the Click! 200 module. This will protect
your sensor from surges.
To wire DC power into the Click! 200:
Connect +DC (usually a red wire) to the +DC screw terminal.
Connect -DC (usually a black wire) to the GND screw terminal next to the
+DC terminal.
CHAPTER 2 o CONNECTING POWER AND SURGE PROTECTION
If the DC power comes from a Click! 201/202 in the pole-mount cabinet that
is surge protected using a Click! 230, you can also connect power to the T-bus
using a 5-position screw terminal. To wire DC power directly into a 5-position
screw terminal (see Figure 2.8):
Connect +DC (24 VDC) to the top screw terminal.
Connect –DC to the second screw terminal.

Note
Green T-bus connectors provide power and communication connectivity
on the DIN rail backplane; gray T-bus connectors only provide power
connectivity and are used to distribute power without connecting
communication.
In the Main Traffic Cabinet
If DC voltage is sent across a homerun connection, AC power conversion is
provided in the main cabinet. In the main cabinet, the DC wires out of the Click!
201/202 should be wired to the PROTECTED side and the homerun cable should
be connected to the UNPROTECTED side of the Click! 200.
Note
The purpose of the Click! 200 in the main cabinet is not to protect the
sensor, but the electrical equipment inside of the main cabinet.
The last screw terminal block on the PROTECTED side of the Click! 200 module
contains a +DC, -DC and two surge ground connections (see Figure 2.9).
Connect +DC (usually a red wire) to the +DC screw terminal.
Connect -DC (usually a black wire) to the GND screw terminal next to the
+DC terminal.

Wiring Communication
After wiring the sensor cable into the PROTECTED side of the Click! 200 in the
pole mount cabinet, two isolated serial connections are available. The sensor’s
native RS-232 port is available via the DB-9 connector on the faceplate.
In addition, the sensor’s native RS-485 connection is available in the pole mount
cabinet via the following three ports on the Click! 200:
„„ Screw terminals on the bottom
„„ RJ-11 connector on the faceplate
„„ T-bus backplane
Note
The Click! 200 does not convert RS-232 communication to RS-485. It simply
provides surge protection for these two independent connections.
One common way to connect communications back to a main cabinet is to use a
SmartSensor cable as your homerun cable. See Appendix C for information about
maximum cable lengths for wired communication. Wavetronix Click! products
facilitate a wide variety of additional wired and wireless communication
options. Contact a Wavetronix-authorized technical representative to find out
which options are best suited for your application.
Contact Closure Connections
While any of the RS-485 ports on the Click! 200 can be connected to contact
closure modules, it is often easiest to connect from the RJ-11 port. In some cases,
several contact closure cards can be daisy-chained together. However, the chain
CHAPTER 2 o CONNECTING POWER AND SURGE PROTECTION
should not be connected until each card has been independently programmed
(see Figure 2.10).
Figure 2.10 – Connecting Contact Closure Modules
Note
Wait to connect contact closure communications until after the sensor is
programmed using the configuration software.
See Chapter 9 for more information on contact closure communications.
