response when noise is generated, the SAS-1 operating status is OK. Click the Stop Button on
the SAS Monitor and Setup program display.

The SAS ID is of the form SASxxxx, where xxxx is a four digit number (i.e. SAS0001,
SAS0002,.etc.). For installations where only one SAS-1 will be connected to a cabinet controller
via a home run cable or wireless link, you should set the SAS ID to SAS0001.

For installations where multiple SAS-1s will be connected to a single cabinet controller via
a single home run cable or via wireless links, you must set each SAS ID to consecutive
values starting at SAS0001

. For example, a traffic monitoring station with three SAS-1s

connected to the roadside cabinet controller using a single home run cable, should have the SAS
IDs set to SAS0001, SAS0002, and SAS0003. This allows the cabinet controller to distinguish
the data from each of the SAS-1 units.

To set the SAS-1 ID, click on the menu item, Sensor/Change SAS ID. An Information Dialog
Window will popup asking for the new SAS ID. The new SAS ID may be incremented or
decremented by left clicking in the upper or lower portion or the SAS ID Field. After
providing the new SAS-1 ID, click OK. The Status Message at the bottom left of the SAS
Monitor and Setup Display should indicate a positive response (OK) from the SAS-1 and the
SAS-ID Field will be updated to the new ID value. If the “OK” response is received, then click
the Start Button to verify SAS-1 operation with the new SAS ID value. If the Blue Lines begin
to draw as previously described, then the SAS-1 recognizes its new ID. Click the Stop Button.
If the positive “OK” response is not immediately received, click the Stop Button and click on
the menu item Sensor/Get SAS ID. If the returned ID is not what you set, repeat the above
procedure for setting the SAS-ID.

Disconnect the power connector, the pluggable terminal block connector (short home run cable),
and the serial PC cable from the SAS-CT.

The SAS-1 and its interfaces have been checked out and are now ready to be installed at the
traffic monitoring site.
