Introduction The Wavetronix SmartSensor utilizes patented Digital Wave Radar™ technology to detect lane occupancy, traffic volume and average speed in up to eight lanes of traffic simultaneously. Classified as Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar, SmartSensor collects data using a 10.525 GHz (X-band) operating radio frequency. The installation and configuration process is quick and easy. Once installed, SmartSensor configures automatically, requires little or no on-si

6. Connecting SmartSensor to Power and Communication Devices A typical sensor installation requires a pole-mount box containing surge protection and connections for power and communications. SmartSensor is compatible with all standard control cabinets; a table describing the SmartSensor cable’s pin-out and appropriate connection points inside the control cabinet can be found in Appendix B of this document. However, to simplify the connection process, Wavetronix has developed the C

Figure 5 – Short Distance Cable Run Long Cable Run (41-100 feet) A long cable installation includes any installation with a SmartSensor cable longer than 40 feet. Follow the steps below to correctly add surge protection to a long cable run (see Figure 6): 1. Connect the SmartSensor cable from the SmartSensor to the PROTECTED side of the Click! 200. 2. Mount a Click! 200 (or equivalent) device on the same pole as the protected sensor, and mount another Click! 200 in the cabin

The Click! 200 has 12 screw terminal connections on both the top and the bottom (see Figure 7). The screw terminals on the top of the module are surge protected: Back The back four terminals consist of one +DC power, -DC and two surge ground connections; Middle The middle four terminals are for RS-485 communication and consist of a +485 connection, a -485 connection and two connections for ground. One of the ground connections is used as ground for RS-232 communication; Front
