3. HANGING THE SIGN
Your
PMD 250
includes mounting hardware for a 4” (4.5” OD) pole. Please do not over
tighten mounting hardware at this step as you may wish to “fine tune” the exact angle of
your sign for optimum results as described in Section 4. If you have special mounting needs
and plan to modify the enclosure, please be careful to ensure that your hardware does not
contact interior components. Also be sure to use a sealant to maintain a weatherproof
environment inside the sign. Improper installation may cause damage to interior
components and void warranty.

FINAL POSITIONING / FINE TUNING
See F
igure 3a
for some basic positioning tips. Keep in mind that the 12” tall characters are
readable to 750 feet. If the radar unit is picking up vehicles too far away, simply rotate the
unit clockwise so that it’s facing the opposite curb a bit more. Likewise, if the unit is
picking vehicles up too close or not far away enough, rotate counter-clockwise.
Remember, you may adjust the radar gun angle (aim) in the
PMD 250
as well as the
mounting angle of the enclosure on the pole for maximum fine-tuning, F

Assembly - ADD “YOUR SPEED” SIGN
Install the “YOUR SPEED” sign on the enclosure. For the PMD 250 you will notice (2)
tamper-resistant screws and (3) button-head screws running horizontally atop the face of the
sign. Remove screws (tamper-resistant tool is provided in your tool kit), affix the “YOUR
SPEED” sign being careful that it is face up, and tighten the screws.
