The Wavetronix SmartSensor Advance™ and Wavetronix SmartSensor Advance Extended
Range detect and continuously monitor the progression of moving traffic out to a maxi-
mum range of 600 ft. (182.9 m) and 900 ft. (274.3 m) respectively.
Both traffic sensors are designed for use on the approaches to signalized intersections. They
are used to alert the traffic controller of a vehicle’s arrival based upon the incoming range,
speed, and estimated time-of-arrival of each detected vehicle for applications such as high-
speed dilemma zone protection and queue reduction. In addition, SmartSensor Advance
Extended Range allows you to prioritize dilemma zone protection based upon the discov-
ery range of trucks and passenger cars.
SmartSensor Advance and SmartSensor Advance Extended Range monitor vehicle traffic
flow through the use of a 10.525 GHz (X band) operating radio frequency. Both sensors
utilize Digital Wave Radar™ technology to provide a reliable Frequency Modulated Con-
tinuous Wave. SmartSensor Advance Extended Range uses a new form of frequency modu-
lation to achieve its extended reach.
The SmartSensor Advance User Guide is divided into two parts. Part one provides a step-by-
step process for installing the SmartSensor Advance and the SmartSensor Advance Extend-
ed Range, including mounting and alignment guidelines. Part two provides instructions for
installing and using the SmartSensor Manager Advance software, including instructions for
both automatic and manual sensor configurations. Any questions about the information in
this guide should be directed to Wavetronix or your distributor.
