Force Activating Display
In order to test integrity of the LED digits, converting PNL10 into a slave display unit or
any other purposes the user may activate PNL10 display by using the following
procedure:
1. Make sure that PNL10 is connected to a computer or a controller with a standard
RS232 cable. PNL10 provides DB9 connector on the back for this purpose.
Optionally a Bluetooth wire replacement may be utilized.
2. Set RS232 parameters (baud rate, parity, etc.) to match that of the PNL10. For
PNL10 these parameters are configured via RS variable in SS300 radar non-
volatile memory as described in the SS300 manual.
3. Provide power to the PNL10.
4. After the initial count-up is completed, issue “bcd” command. This command
supports one or two parameters, must be terminated by a carriage return or line
feed and has the following format:
bcd:speed [flags]
where bcd is the command, speed is the value to be displayed and flags is an
optional parameter that can be used to activate or de-activate the white strobe or
an optional external message board. For example:
“
bcd:20”
will activate PNL10 and display the number 20
“bcd:55 1”
will change the number to 55 and activate the strobe
“bcd:55 0”
or
“bcd:55”
will turn the strobe off and continue to display 55
“bcd:0”
will deactivate display and turns off the digits. Speed value of 0 cannot
be displayed since it has a special meaning.
Note 1: bcd command overrides speed output from the detected targets but all other
PNL10 features such as brightness control and statistics collection remain operational.
Note 2: bcd command is supported by SS300 firmware version 129 and above.
Triggering an External Custom Message:
The PNL10 makes it very easy for OEM’s to connect an external custom LED string
message like “SLOW DOWN” (or any string of LEDs arranged in a local language). This
message can be activated whenever the strobe is active and will also blink if the strobe is
configured to blink. A second “THANK YOU” message can also be activated by the
PNL10 when the digits are turned on but the vehicle is below the limit at which the strobe
will be activated.
This configuration allows you to make a full functionality speed sign with a “SLOW
DOWN” type message that is activated if the measured speed is above the speed limit or
above the high-speed display cutoff and a “THANK YOU” activated below the speed
limit. Please refer to Appendix B for a schematic of this simple external message board.
