Choosing a Mounting Location

Mounting location, height, and offset

Note. For more on cable lengths, see Smart Sensor Matrix Cable Length Recommendations, available in the online knowledge base.

Keep these general guidelines in mind as you choose your sensor mounting location:

• Make sure the sensor has a clear view of the area you want to detect. Pay particular attention to signs, poles, signal heads, and mast arms.
• The sensor needs to see at least 15–20 ft. (4.6–6.1 m) of a lane in order to detect it properly.
• Vehicles should typically enter the sensor’s footprint on the rounded edge.
• Make sure the footprint extends several feet beyond the stop bar.
• The front of the sensor should be at least 10 ft. (3 m) away from suspended power lines and other electrical cables.
• Keep cable lengths in mind when you pick mounting locations; when you use the Wavetronix 6-conductor cable, runs can be as long as 1000 ft. (304.8 m) if you’re using 24 VDC and RS-485 communications; for longer connections, consider alternate wired and wireless options.

The mounting location will vary based on your intersection and your needs. The locations in the image below are recommended because of their clear view of the detection area.

In an intersection with tethered span wire, you can mount the sensor using the Wavetronix span wire mount and other equipment.

Note. See Using the Span Wire Mount with the Smart Sensor Matrix, available in the online knowledge base.

Mounting on the back side of the mast arm

Note. Make sure the sensor has at least a six-foot offset to the nearest lane of interest.

• Allows you to place the sensor near the lanes of interest.
• May be the best location for wide approaches.

Mounting on the far side of the approach

• Gives you more flexibility with mounting height than mounting on the mast arm.
• May be the best location if detecting the left-turn lane is a high priority.

Mounting on the near side of the approach

• Gives you more flexibility with mounting height than mounting on the mast arm.
• If the mast arm or signal head is occluding the sensor’s view, this may be the best location.

Choosing a mounting height and offset
In general, the sensor should be mounted 20 ft. ± 5 ft.
(6.1 m ± 1.5 m) above the surface of the road. If mounting on a mast arm or other location where the height cannot be changed significantly, use the table below to choose an offset. If mounting on a vertical pole, where the offset cannot be changed significantly, use the table to choose a mounting height.

Definition. Mounting height is the distance between the sensor and the road’s height, not the bottom of the pole. If installing a new pole, remember that part of the pole will likely
be below ground.
Definition. Offset is the distance between the sensor and the edge of the first lane to be detected.

Occlusion

Note. The sensor does compensate for occlusion; if it sees a vehicle that then becomes occluded, it will extend the call until it sees the vehicle again.
Note. A good rule of thumb is that 50% of a vehicle must be visible above any barrier in order to be detected.

Occlusion occurs when one object blocks another object from the sensor’s view, as shown above. This can happen with:

• Tall vehicles like semitrucks
• Signs
• Barriers and sounding walls
• Trees and more

Fixing occlusion problems

• Move the sensor higher on the pole (keeping it within the guidelines in the mounting height and offset table).
• Move the sensor to another spot if possible, away from obstructions.

Multipathing

Multipathing occurs when a large flat surface near the sensor interferes with detection. A radar signal can bounce around several times between the surface and any vehicles before returning to the sensor. This can make the sensor detect a vehicle where there is none. This can happen with:

• Buildings
• Signs
• Guard rails
• Sounding walls and more

Fixing multipath problems

• Move the sensor if possible; make sure it is separated from overhead signs, overpasses, parallel walls, etc. A 30-ft. (9.1-m) lateral separation is ideal, but even just a few feet can make a difference.
• Adjust the sensor’s sensitivity thresholds in Smart Sensor Manager Matrix, as covered in chapter 6.

Installing the Smart Sensor Matrix

Note. Before attaching the mount to the pole, make sure your cables are long enough to reach the sensor height and to run from the sensor to the cabinet; see Smart Sensor Matrix Cable Length Recommendations, available in the online knowledge base.
Note. The mounting process will be different for a span wire mount; see Using the Span Wire Mount with the Smart Sensor Matrix, available in the online knowledge base.

Mounting the sensor

1. 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 in your chosen mounting location.

4. Secure the straps.

5. Replace the large bolts from step 1 and attach the sensor to the mount (the cable connector should be pointed down). Don’t tighten the bolts completely yet, as you still need to align the sensor to the roadway.

Aligning the sensor to the roadway

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. To help you visualize the installation, the sensor’s 90º field of view is imprinted on the top and bottom of the sensor case.
   Note. Do NOT roll the sensor to match the grade of the road.
   Note. You will complete the alignment process by connecting to SmartSensor Manager Matrix; see chapters 5–7.

3. 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.

Cable connection
Applying silicon dielectric compound

1. Tear the tab off the tube of silicon dielectric compound that came with the sensor.
2. Squeeze about half of the compound onto the connector at the base of the sensor.

Connecting the cable

1. Insert the cable connector into the sensor connector. Be aware that it is a keyed connector.
2. Twist the cable connector clockwise until you hear it click into place.
3. Run the cable through the pole/conduit. Leave some slack at the top to reduce strain on the cable connector and create a drip loop. The recommended way to do this is shown above, including using a zip tie to secure the drip loop to the mount. This method also gives you something to work with should you someday need to move the sensor to a different spot on the pole.
4. If there’s excess cable, don’t cut it, as you may need it in the future; leave it in the pole.

Note. If you can’t run the cable through the pole, run it instead through a conduit affixed to the pole.
Note. Don’t drill through the sensor mount while running cable.

Grounding the sensor

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.

Note. For more complete grounding schematics, see Intersection Grounding Schematics, available in the online knowledge base.

If the intersection is not bonded, run the grounding wire down the pole, alongside the cable, back to cabinet ground.

Wiring the junction box

1. Insert the cable coming from the sensor (the pigtail cable) through one of the cable grips. Twist the cable grip clockwise to tighten.
2. Do not strip the conductors. Land each conductor and the drain in the terminal blocks inside the box, according to color. Insert each conductor into the round hole on the plug portion of the correct terminal block and make sure it bottoms out.
3. Insert a small screwdriver into the square hole beside each conductor, and rock upwards to secure the conductor in place.
4. Insert one end of the cable that runs to the traffic cabinet (the homerun cable) into the other cable grip. Twist the cable grip clockwise to tighten.
5. Follow the instructions in steps 2–3 to land each conductor and the drain from the homerun cable into the correct spots in the terminal blocks, according to color.

Note. For best results, you may want to put a ferrule on the end of the drain, or twist the strands of the drain together tightly, before terminating it in the terminal block.

Installing Cabinet Solutions

The power, surge protection, and communication modules you will install vary based on what equipment you are using.

Using the Click 65x
Using the Click 65x line, power, surge, and communication are provided to a combination of four (Click 650) or six (Click 656) Matrix and Advance sensors all in one device. If your cabinet supports SDLC, you can connect the Click 65x straight to the controller; if your cabinet doesn’t support SDLC, you can connect the Click 65x to contact closure cards.

Warning. Failure to follow the guidelines in this chapter regarding proper surge protection will void the sensor warranty. If you need more information, contact support@wavetronix.com.

1. Run cable from the sensor to the traffic cabinet.

2. Place the Click 65x on a shelf in the cabinet or use U-channel mounting brackets to attach it to the cabinet wall.

3. Insert each conductor from the homerun cable into the corresponding round hole in the 7-position plug on the back of the Click 65x, shown below. Match each conductor to the correct label on the plug.

4. Insert a small screwdriver into the square hole above each conductor, and rock upwards to secure the conductor in place.

5. Power on the 65x by using the switch on the back; power on each connected sensor by toggling the appropriate switches on the front of the Click 65x.

6. Connect communication cables (Ethernet, SDLC, and/or RJ-11 jumper cables) into their respective ports on the front of the Click 65x.

Note. For more information on the Click 65x products, see the Click 65x Series User Guide.

Using the Click 600

1. Run cable from the sensor to the traffic cabinet.
2. Place the Click 600 on a shelf in the cabinet or use U-channel mounting brackets to attach it to the cabinet wall.
3. Insert each conductor from the homerun cable into the corresponding round hole in the 7-position plug on the back of the Click 600, shown above. Match each conductor to the correct label on the plug.
4. Insert a small screwdriver into the square hole above each conductor, and rock upwards to secure the conductor in place.
5. Power on the Click 600 by using the switch in the back; power on each connected sensor by toggling the appropriate switches on the front of the Click 600.
6. Connect jumper cables from the RJ-11 jacks on the front of the Click 600 to your contact closure devices.

Note. For more information on the Click 600, see the Click 600 Quick Start Guide.

Using a preassembled backplate

1. Run cable from the sensor to the traffic cabinet.

2. Use the included screws to mount the Intersection Preassembled Backplate in the cabinet.
   Note. This section assumes you are using the Intersection Preassembled Backplate from Wavetronix; if you bought individual Click modules instead, see Assembling the Click Power Plant, available in the online knowledge base.
   Note. Additional Click modules can be added to the backplate by placing a T-bus on the DIN rail and then rocking the module onto the T-bus.
   

3. Start by connecting the power cable. This backplate is shipped from Wavetronix with the conductors in the cable already terminated in a terminal block plug. Insert this plug into the power terminal blocks.
   

4. If for some reason the conductors aren’t terminated into the terminal block plug, terminate them by inserting each conductor into the corresponding round hole on the plug (match each conductor to the label of the same color on the plug). Do not strip the insulation. Insert a small screwdriver into the square hole above it, and rock upwards to secure the conductor in place. Repeat with each conductor.

5. Connect a 12 AWG wire from the earth ground terminal block to the cabinet’s earth ground.
   Note. All electronic components should be grounded.
   

6. Now wire the sensor cable: follow the instructions in step 4 to land each conductor from the cable coming from the sensor into the correct terminal block.

More information about this setup
This backplate is designed to be mounted in a traffic cabinet and to provide everything your sensor needs:

• The Click power plant, consisting of a circuit breaker, AC surge protector, and AC to DC converter.
• The Click 222, which is a lightning surge protector. This device is where the sensor cable is landed (via the terminal blocks). It protects the rest of the traffic cabinet from surges coming from the sensor cable. It’s also where you can plug in to communicate with and configure the sensor.
  There are no communication options besides RS-485 on the Click 222. An additional communication device can be easily added to communicate with the installation remotely or over RS-232.

2. From the Port drop-down, choose the COM port on your computer that the sensor is plugged into. If you are unsure of the port, select Search to cycle through all available COM ports.
3. Click Search. The first time you connect, use a Full search, which will find all the Matrix sensors on the selected RS-485 control bus and can take up to 30 seconds. A Quick search can be used for any subsequent connections and will take considerably less time.
4. Once the list of sensors appears, click on the sensor you would like to configure.
5. Click Connect.

Serial connection settings

• Timeout – This is how long the software tries to connect to the sensor before it gives up. You can increase this time if you’re having trouble connecting to the sensor.
• Full search – Select this when searching for sensors for the very first time on an RS-485 control bus. You need to perform a full search to completion before all sensors can be discovered using a quick search. If you perform a full search and then cancel before the search is complete, the sensors not discovered before the full search was terminated will also not be visible after a quick search.
• Quick search – Lets you quickly connect to sensors that were already discovered using a full search. If you add or replace a sensor on an existing control bus, you will need to do a full search before that new sensor will appear on a quick search.

Making an Internet connection

Note. The Matrix is not a native IP device. Therefore, connecting via the Internet requires a terminal server, such as a Click 65x, Click 301 serial to Ethernet converter in the cabinet, or an external modem to put it on a cellular network.

1. Click Communication on the main screen and then click the cloud icon at the top of the screen.
2. Under Network Address, enter the IP address of the terminal server (such as a serial to Ethernet converter or the cellular modem) that the sensor is connected to. Do the same with the port number in the Port field.
3. Click Search. The first time you connect, use a Full search, which will find all the Matrix sensors on the selected RS-485 control bus and can take up to 30 seconds. A Quick search can be used for any subsequent connections.
4. Once the list of sensors appears, click on the sensor you would like to configure.
5. Click Connect.

Internet connection settings

• Timeout – This is how long the software tries to connect to the sensor before it gives up. You can increase this time if you’re having trouble connecting to the sensor.
• Full search – Select this when searching for sensors for the very first time. You need to perform a full search to completion before all sensors can be discovered using a quick search. If you perform a full search and then cancel before the search is complete, the sensors not discovered before the full search was terminated will also not be visible after a quick search.
• Quick search – Lets you quickly connect to sensors that were already discovered using a full search. If you add or replace a sensor on an existing control bus, you will need to do a full search before that new sensor will appear on a quick search.

Making a virtual connection

Lane Verification
Verifying your configuration
Verifying lanes and outputs means comparing the detection data in the SSMM software with the actual traffic at the intersection; you can observe the intersection traffic yourself, or record it using a separate device. Make sure the sensor is detecting moving and stopped vehicles in all lanes.

Note. You can turn this feature off by unchecking the Queue Forming checkbox in the Advanced tab of the Sensor Settings screen.

Queue extension
When vehicles stop before and after a zone, the stopped vehicle queue is extended to fill the space between the two vehicles. This ensures that a queue of vehicles that extends in front and behind a zone will always activate the zone even if the vehicles are not directly over it.

If a vehicle stops within 30 feet of the stop bar, the stopped vehicle queue will be extended to the stop bar. This ensures that a vehicle will activate a zone even if it stops behind the zone.
