Sensor Alignment; Aligning The Sensor To The Roadway - Wavetronix SmartSensor Advance User Manual

Prepare the sensor while still on the ground: remove the large
1
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.
Once you're ready to mount the sensor on the pole, insert the
2
mounting straps through the slots on the mount.
Position the mount on the pole in the spot you chose from the
3
previous chapter.
Tighten the straps.
4
Attach the knuckle you prepared earlier to the mount using the
5
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.

Aligning the sensor to the roadway

Determine the distance to the target. The target is the exact
1
spot on the road that the sensor should be pointing at. Find the
target distance by using the sensor's height and offset in the
following table(s).

Chapter 2: Installing the SmartSensor Advance
Note. Be sure to
keep the straps
adjustable, because
once you've used the
alignment tool in the
software, you may
need to fine-tune the
sensor's positioning.
Note. In some
cases, it is possible
to increase
performance at far
ranges by increasing
the target distance
by 25-50 ft.
