SETTING THE SIGN IN “NORMAL MODE”
The simplest mode to put the sign into is the “NM” (Normal Mode). Instructions:
1. Turn the power on with the key. After the brightness number changes, start pushing the button and stop
on the two letter code “NM”.
2. As the display goes dark, it is now running in “Normal Mode”. In other words, the sign will display the speed
of oncoming vehicles from 5 mph (down to 1 mph is also available, see Advance Features Section) to 99
MPH without showing any alerts. So for this code only, no further programming would be needed.
PROGRAMMING THE SIGN IN “VIOLATOR ALERT” MODE
This section covers setting the standard “Violator Alert” functions including
the optional “Slow”, “Red & Blue” flashing signals.
Note:
The pushbutton instructions described in the following paragraphs
also apply to the use of the key chain remote control buttons.
Turn power on. After the brightness number changes, push the button and
stop on “VA”. The display is now in “Violator Alert” setup mode. The Violator
Alerts 1 to 5 will then begin to appear in the order of the photos as shown
below.
Note:
If the Timer is enabled, (see
“Setting the Clock and Timed Events”
) the sign will run in Violator Mode
(or any other mode) only during the selected event timed program. Otherwise, if the timer is disabled,
the sign will run continuously (not recommended for overly long periods of time when on battery
power only).
VIOLATOR ALERT 1: MS - MINIMUM SPEED
After seeing the “VA” screen, the display will show “MS” (see photo below)
along with a number. The number represents the lowest speed at which the
display will start showing all oncoming vehicles. When this number appears,
the operator has 5 seconds within to start pushing the button in-order to
program this “MS” speed setting. Press the button until the desired speed
setting is reached.
Note:
If the button is held down, the numbers will increment fast without
having to press the button many times.
The numbers will start over after 99 if you miss your desired speed without turning
off the power. If using the key chain remote, simply press either button to move
the numbers forward or backward). Once the desired setting is reached, stop and
wait for the next screen to appear after approximately 5 seconds. The screen will
then change to the next screen for speed setting.
VIOLATOR ALERT 2: SL - SLOW DOWN
The display will now show the “SL” (Slow Down) message and flashes with the
desired speed setting number. The red “Slow Down” message is effective in helping
to calm traffic. When the operator sees the setting number appear, push the button
within 5 seconds in-order to change this number until the desired speed setting is
reached.
Note:
You can set the numbers even when the words “Slow Down” are flashing.
Once the desired setting is reached, stop pressing the button and wait for the next
“Violator Alert”
“Minimum Speed”
