Wavetronix SmartSensor Advance Extended Range (SS-200E) - User Guide - Manual (Page 26)

CHAPTER 1 • INSTALLING THE SMARTSENSOR ADVANCE 25
To avoid undue movement from the wind, strap the 6-conductor cable to the pole or run it
through a conduit, but leave a small amount of slack at the top of the cable to reduce cable
strain. Route the cable from the sensor location back to the main traffic cabinet.
To set up your network in an orderly fashion, it is recommended that labeling be used
on the service end of each SmartSensor 6-conductor cable. A convenient way to label the
cables is to mark the last seven digits of the serial number on each sensor and the direction
of traffic monitored (see Figure 1.19).

Grounding the Sensor
The SmartSensor Advance must now be grounded:
1 Connect a grounding wire to the grounding lug on the bottom of the sensor (see Figure
1.17).
2 Connect the other end of the grounding wire to the earth ground for the pole that the
sensor is mounted on. Do not attempt to run the grounding wire back to the main
traffic cabinet.
