Figure 6.2 – Installation Details Screen
The roadway part of the screen is used to illustrate the sensor’s position relative to the stop
bar; the controls on the right side of the screen allow you to specify the direction of traffic
to be monitored and the sensor’s position. The distance units are displayed in the bottom-
right corner of the screen.
The OK button saves the settings to the sensor; the Undo button restores the settings to
the screen’s initial values; and the Cancel button closes the screen without saving changes
to the sensor.
Changing the Traffic Direction
The SmartSensor Advance can be configured to detect traffic moving towards or away from
the sensor, but will not detect stationary vehicles.
The arrow displayed on the roadway represents the direction of traffic flow being detected
by the sensor. Click the Traffic button to change the monitored traffic direction. The direc-
tion of the arrow displayed on the button shows the direction that will be selected if the
button is clicked, and always points in the opposite direction as the arrow on the roadway.
Positioning the Stop Bar
The ability to move the stop bar up and down the display adds flexibility in representing
the relative location of the sensor to the stop bar and the direction of traffic flow. The loca-
tion of the stop bar is always represented as a distance of zero (the sensor range is relative
to the stop bar).
Position the stop bar by clicking on the stop bar or its label and dragging it anywhere on
