RAILMASTER-VP™ USER’S MANUAL

20

The

Railmaster-VP

contains an RFI detection

circuit that detects excess radio frequency
energy. When stray radio frequency energy
reaches an excessive level, the system
displays an RFI message and stops
processing and displaying speeds. The
system resumes normal operation when the
RFI condition no longer exists. At that time,
any locked speeds will display again.

5.2.7 Scanning

The

Railmaster-VP

is designed to use while

attached to a solid mount or hand-held in a
steady position. Moving or “scanning” the
antenna past stationary objects can cause the
system to detect motion. Obtaining a speed
reading from scanning will not happen when
you properly use the radar and is considered
deliberate misuse of the system.
