Contents of your Model TC-400:
➢
1 radar and display housing with YOUR SPEED faceplate
➢
1 battery housing
➢
2 lithium iron battery packs
➢
1 AC battery charger
➢
2 keys on Radarsign keychain (used to lock the radar speed sign display to the battery housing).
The keys are attached to the sign handle.
➢
1 Go Bracket (stainless steel) for mounting your radar speed sign on existing poles
➢
1 set of mounting hardware for your Go Bracket; Contains 2 stainless steel carriage bolts (3" long) with lock

TC-400 Installation Process:
Using the keys attached on the housing handle, open the TC-400 cabinet and remove the radar speed sign from the
housing by lifting off the hinges.
1. Remove the packaging, the battery charger, and the batteries from the
battery housing.
To ensure your batteries have full charge, use the enclosed charger to charge
both battery packs before deploying the radar speed sign. An initial charge
time of 6 hours at room temperature for each is recommended. If the
charger light turns green sooner, that is OK too.
Maintenance Note: Batteries will generally last for 5-7 years if regularly
charged.
Do not wait until your batteries are completely exhausted to recharge.
2. Remove the Go Bracket from the back of the battery housing.
3. Mount the Go Bracket to your existing pole. The hardware included should
allow you to mount the bracket to a 2" x 2" square post, or a U-Channel
post. The Go Bracket is a universal bracket, allowing for longer bolts, and
has slots for ½" pipe clamps, banding, or strapping material.
(If the pole is
round or larger than the 3
"
bolt can support, please obtain a longer bolt, or
use a pipe clamp, banding, or strapping to mount the bracket. All are cus-
tomer supplied.)
Whatever method you choose, be sure to secure the bracket with the
hardware as shown in the photo to the right. This will provide you the
maximum protection against theft of the radar speed sign. The Go Bracket
is labeled
TOP
and
BOTTOM
. When installing, make sure you mount the
bracket with the top side up.
Many users will purchase additional Go Brackets and leave them on existing
poles around town. They are small and unobtrusive. This allows the owner
to create a circuit to rotate the radar speed sign on a regular basis, multiply-
ing the value of your investment. Mounting and un-mounting the radar
speed sign can be completed in about 1 minute, with NO TOOLS!
