Operating Mode
Selecting Edit>Operating Mode allows you to switch between Side Fire and
Forward Fire operation modes. While Side Fire mode is standard, Forward Fire
mode allows you to detect trac from a forward-facing position, such as when
the sensor is mounted on a bridge across the road. With this setup, however,
the sensor can only detect one lane at a time and cannot detect cars until after
they’ve passed the mounting location. If you’re interested in a forward-facing
sensor, consider the SmartSensor Advance, which can detect vehicles in multiple
lanes up to 500 ft. (152.4 m) in advance.
If you would like to use the SmartSensor 105 in Forward Fire mode, call
Wavetronix Technical Services at 801-764-0277 for assistance and further
instruction.
