SECTION 7 - OPERATION

7.1.2 BATTERY OPERATION
The Falcon HR has an onboard battery monitor that
notifies the operator when battery voltage (internal or
external) is approaching or has fallen below the Falcon HR
regulation threshold. First the monitor senses the
condition where 30 minutes of transmitting battery life
remains. A flashing “BATT” indicator and an audio
warning tone every two minutes notify the operator that
battery life is limited. Speed data can still be taken until
the internal battery voltage level drops below the
minimum operating level. When minimum operating
voltage is sensed, the transmitter is disabled, last locked
speed is preserved and the “BATT” indicator becomes
steady. When the voltage falls further, the Falcon HR
shuts off to prevent complete discharge of the battery.
7.1.3 LOCATION
1. For stationary operation, select an area that provides a
good view of the traffic to be monitored.
2. Check the immediate area for potential interference
sources, such as large reflecting signs in the direct path
of the radar’s microwave beam, power substations and
other potential sources of electrical interference.
3. Position the patrol vehicle in a safe location, with easy
access to the roadway.
NOTE: Cosine effect, the angle between the target’s
direction of travel and the path to the radar, in the
stationary mode, will ALWAYS be in the driver’s
favor. Refer to the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration’s “Basic Training Program in
RADAR Speed Measurement” for speed reduction
information due to cosine angle.
