you position detection coverage to track vehicles for several feet before they reach the
rst zone. e closest detection zone provided by SmartSensor Advance and Smart-
Sensor Advance Extended Range is 50 . (15.2 m) from the location of the sensor. e
farthest detection zone provided by SmartSensor Advance Extended Range is 900 .
(274.3 m). e farthest detection zone provided by SmartSensor Advance is 600 .
(182.9 m). e sensor is usually used to detect incoming trac, but it can detect in-
coming or outgoing trac, and it lters out the opposite direction trac. With Smart-
Sensor Advance Extended Range, incoming large vehicles are typically discovered by
about 750 . (228.6 m) and small vehicles are typically discovered about 600 (182.9
m) from the sensor. With SmartSensor Advance, most incoming large vehicles are dis-
covered by about 500 . (152.4 m) and most small vehicles are discovered about 400
(121.9) from the sensor.

Figure I.1 – Mounting Locations
Line-of-sight – Position the sensor so that it will have line-of-sight to the entire detec-
tion area of interest. Avoid structural occlusion including trees, signs and other road-
side structures.
Closest roadside – If you install the sensor on the side of the road (instead of over-
head), select the location closest to the lanes of interest. is will prevent departing
trac from occluding approaching detections.
Through-Movement Detection – If only through-movement detection is desired, po-
sition the sensor to avoid detection of turn-only lanes. Consider using speed lters to
remove the impact of turning vehicles.
Mounting Height – Mounting the sensor as high as possible is recommended to reduce
same lane occlusion. A maximum of 40 . (12.2 m) and minimum of 17 . (5.2 m) is
recommended. If the sensor is higher than 30 . (9.1 m), the oset should be less than
50 . (15.2 m) to increase accuracy.
