HOME

 page.

  

 

The

displays the following:

 

• 

Battery voltage

: If battery charge is 13.9+ V,   bat-

tery is charged 100%.  If voltage is less 

 

than 10V, the display will shut off to allow the bat-
teries a chance to recharge)

 

• 

Solar amperage

: If you have a solar sign the 

A

” 

(amperage) will be low if the battery is fully 

charged. Batteries need to be recharged if 

 

solar amperage level is between 1 to 3 Amps.

 

•

Action Buttons

 

A) 

Get Radar Data 

 

Used to download data from 

the radar speed sign. (

If you have not 

 

purchased a Streetsmart license for this sign, this 

 

option does not apply.)

 

B) 

Refresh 

-

 

Reloads the sign settings on the page.

 

 

C) 

Change Password 

-

 

Allows you to re

-

set the Wi

-

Fi password to something other than the default. If you change 

the default password, make sure you record it. Radarsign will not have a record of changed passwords. If lost you will 
need to reset to factory settings to create a new password.

 

General Settings

 

1)

 

Blinky Enabled 

 

Turns the single blue LED in the center of the display on or off. This Blue LED indicates that 

the radar is scanning. It is recommended you keep it enabled.

 

2)

 

Radar Enabled 

 

This should 

always

 be checked so the sign can detect vehicles. 

 

3)

 

MPH / KPH settings 

 

Select the setting for your country

s standard

 

 

Display Configuration

 

4)

 

Display Enabled 

 

Turns the display on or off.  

UNCHECK

 if you wish to collect traffic statistics in stealth mode 

to get a baseline of how fast the speeds are on the road in question.

 

5)

 

Speed Limit 

 

Enter the speed limit of the road where the sign is installed. The speed limit is only used to qualify 

a speeder vs. a non

-

speeder and has no effect on the display.

 

PLEASE NOTE: It is very important to consider the traffic speeds at the sign location when configuring 
the Minimum and Maximum display speeds settings in order to conserve the sign battery charge level 
and maximize the battery life

.

 

6)

 

Minimum Display Speed  

 

Set the speed to the lowest level you would like the radar sign display to activate. If 

approaching traffic is below the minimum speed setting the display will be blank. 

Guidance: Most customers 

select a speed matching or a few miles per hour below the posted speed limit.

 

 Setting this number too 

low will simply waste battery energy and reduce the battery charge level

.

 

 

7)

 

Maximum Display Speed  

 

Set for the highest speed you wish the sign display to remain active, usually no 

more than 20 mph higher than the speed limit. This is used to ensure drivers do not try to 

race

’ 

up the sign to 

unsafe speeds. Above this speed the Over Max Speed behavior is active. 

 

8)

 

Over Max Behavior 

 

Indicates the sign alert display when a vehicle is travelling faster than the max speed 

 

selection. Choose either 

Dashes

, or 

Blank

 (sign goes dark).
