School Zones
Set the “MS” (the radar detected Minimum Speed limit) at 15 mph (so
drivers in a school zone obeying the speed limit are not distracted), the
“Flashing Speed” at 16mph and the “Blanking Speed” for 40mph. This is
what will happen: For speeds under 15 MPH, no speed will be displayed.
The display will flash the speed for vehicles traveling between 16 and 39
MPH. No speed will be displayed above 40 MPH.
8. RESULTS
The readings from the radar unit are filtered. The radar unit is very sensitive, so for
continuity of the oncoming driver, not every reading may be displayed. If there is a
difference between vehicle speeds of more than 3 miles per hour per second (extreme
acceleration or deceleration), the display will simply hold the last recorded speed for a
few seconds rather than jumping back and forth between speeds. A couple of examples:
Example 1:
Example 2:
If a vehicle is traveling at 35mph and the car behind him is traveling
at 40mph, the sign will display the first vehicle at 35 until it passes.
The first vehicle’s speed will show for 1-1/2 seconds after it passes, so
the radar can establish and display vehicle two’s speed at 40mph.
If a vehicle accelerates towards the sign from a stop at greater than 3
miles per hour per second, no speed will be displayed. If a vehicle
accelerates at 3 miles per hour per second or less, the sign will
display the speed as it increases.
9. ADVANCED FEATURES
In addition to the standard features there are some advanced features available mainly
for trouble shooting.
To enter the Advanced Feature mode, turn the unit ON and press the programming
button five (5) times before the intensity number blinks. First an “A” will appear on the
left digit and a number on the right. Press the programming button until the
appropriate number is shown for that slot. Wait for a “B” to appear and repeat this for “C”
and “D” as well. This will put you into that mode until the unit is turned off and back on
again. See below a list of codes and slots for these advanced features.
