Installing the SmartSensor Matrix is quick and easy. Once installed, SmartSensor
Matrix configures automatically and requires little or no on-site maintenance. The
installation process includes attaching the mounting bracket to the pole; attaching
the sensor to the mounting bracket; aligning the sensor; applying a silicon dielectric
compound to the sensor connector; and connecting the SmartSensor cable to the
sensor.
