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 1.7).

Grounding the Sensor

The SmartSensor Matrix must now be grounded:
1 Connect a grounding wire to the grounding lug on the bottom of the sensor (see Figure

1.5).

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.
