Introduction

Complete the steps below to integrate the Wavetronix SmartSensor Matrix system into a signalized intersec-

tion. If you need technical support, please contact Wavetronix Technical Services at 801.764.0277. For more

information, see the SmartSensor Matrix User Guide.

The following are the suggested Matrix mount-

ing locations:
1 The back side of mast arm – Allows the

sensor to be placed near the lanes of interest

and may be the best location option for

wide approaches. Mount the sensor toward

the end of the arm, to avoid occlusion from

passing vehicles, but make there’s at least

6 ft. (1.8 m) lateral seperation between the

sensor and the first lane of interest.

2 The far side of approach – Usually mount-

ed on a corner vertical mast pole or strain

pole. If the sensor is mounted on a vertical pole with a mast arm, you can usually avoid occlusion by

mounting the sensor away from or below the mast arm.

3 The near side of approach – Typically best if detecting the left turn lane is less important; also allows

you to mount the sensor high enough to avoid occlusion.

Note. The sensor must be at least 6 ft. (1.8 m) from the first lane of interest—that is, if you drew a line from

the sensor to the ground, that line should hit the ground at least 6 ft. from the first lane you need to detect.

These components,

all available from
