Connecting the SmartSensor 6-conductor Cable 

The next step is to plug the SmartSensor 6-conductor cable into the connector. The sensor 

connector is keyed to ensure proper connection (see Figure 1.6); simply twist the plug end 

of the connector clockwise until you hear it click into place.

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 1.7).
