3: Flash display
For each threshold, you can activate or deactivate the blinking of the LEDs
. In the “progressive”
mode,
the blinking and LED intensity increase over time. If you want the text or pictogram to blink as well,
turn on the "Text" switch. If the "Text" switch " is turned on and the blinking type is "none", only the
text or pictogram will blink.
Blinking allows you to reduce the power consumption of the display.
4: Strobe threshold
Choose here the speed from which you want to activate the flash. No flash can be achieved by keying
in 199 km/h or mph for the speed value.
Adjust its value on 199 km/h to deactivate the flash.
5: Duration
The user can choose, according to circumstances and application, the time during which the speed is
displayed. Two display types are available:
•
fixed time display
: the display is maintained from 1 to 20 seconds (user's choice), no matter the
speed of the vehicles or the traffic density. The radar does not measure during the display. To
activate this display type, select a
value between 1 and 20.
•
In function of the speed of the vehicles
: the system calculates itself the duration of the display,
according to two parameters: the measured speed (the higher the speed, the shorter the display)
and the effective range of the radar (the distance at which it measures the vehicles: even if the
standard detection range is 100 m, the actual range is 30 m if the system is installed at a distance
of 30 m of a corner or any other hindrance). The best distance in most cases is 80 m. The following
calculation is made: t=range/speed. If a vehicle drives at 60 km/h (+/- 15 m/s), the display time for
