Operating Mode
Selecting Edit > Operating Mode allows you to switch between Side Fire and Forward
Fire operation modes. While Side Fire mode is standard, Forward Fire mode allows you
to detect traffic from a forward-facing position, such as when the sensor is mounted on a
bridge across the road. With this setup, however, the sensor can only detect one lane at a
time and cannot detect cars until after they’ve passed the mounting location. If you’re in-
terested in a forward-facing sensor, consider the SmartSensor Advance, which can detect
vehicles in multiple lanes up to 500 ft. (152.4 m) in advance.
If you would like to use the SmartSensor 105 in Forward Fire mode, call Wavetronix Tech-
nical Services at 801-764-0277 for assistance and further instruction.
