Installation

Components and Specifications #

The SMATS radar detector system consists of the TrafficXHub (data aggregator and router) and a smartmicro forward-firing radar. TrafficXHub must be connected to the smartmicro radar JBox using the RS-485/12V data/power cable provided by SMATS. The picture below shows the cabling setup and the recommended installation heights.

The radar must be installed facing the preceding and/or approaching traffic, as shown in the picture. The optimal radar pitch, roll, and azimuths can be adjusted by SMATS staff guidance (onsite or remotely).
