Make a connection
Open SmartSensor Manager HD (SSMHD) on your laptop to connect to the
sensor:
1 Make a physical or wireless connection to the sensor; generally you
do this via a Click device that has a communication connection with the
sensor—for instance, you could connect to an Ethernet device on the
same T-bus as the Click 200 surge protector the sensor is connected to.
2 Launch SSMHD and click Communication on the main menu. Based on
the kind of connection you’re making, go to the Serial or Internet tab.
3 Change any necessary settings, such as port, speed or address, and click Connect.
1 Select Lane Setup from the main menu, then 1. Sensor Alignment.
2 Adjust the sensor according to the arrow. A green arrow means the sensor is
positioned for optimal performance; a yellow or red arrow means the sensor is
NOT correctly aligned with the roadway. If the sensor is too far out of align-
ment, you’ll receive an error message pop-up.
3 Tighten the strap screws holding the mounting bracket the rest of the way once
the sensor is aligned properly.
For this tool to function properly, trac must be owing freely. Each time you adjust
the sensor, several vehicles need to pass before the alignment tool’s output is valid.
From the SSMHD main menu, open Settings, to congure certain settings for this sensor.

later.
