e Wavetronix SmartSensor Advance™ and Wavetronix SmartSensor Advance Extended
Range detect and continuously monitor the progression of moving trac out to a maxi-
mum range of 600 ft. (182.9 m) and 900 ft. (274.3 m) respectively.
Both trac sensors are designed for use on the approaches to signalized intersections. ey
are used to alert the trac 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 trac
ow through the use of a 10.525 GHz (X band) operating radio frequency. Both sen-
sors utilize Digital Wave Radar™ technology to provide a reliable Frequency Modulated
Continuous Wave. SmartSensor Advance Extended Range uses a new form of frequency
modulation to achieve its extended reach.
e 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
Extended Range, including mounting and alignment guidelines. Part two provides instruc-
tions for installing and using the SmartSensor Manager Advance software, including in-
