LOCATION SELECTION
In-order to optimize your traffic calming results, there are a few simple things to keep in mind and simple
steps to follow. You’ll want a mounting location that’s on a relatively flat stretch of road and is not too close
to any stop signs, intersections, or sharp curves in the road. A clear line-of-sight relatively free of obstructions
such as large trees, fences or other landscape features is desired. The radar unit is single-directional, so only
the speed of oncoming vehicles is displayed. If solar powered, solar panel should be mounted on the South
side of the pole and be clear of shade from trees and buildings. Any shade over the panel will significantly
reduce the effectiveness of the charging system.

HANGING THE SIGN
Your FAST-18 includes mounting hardware for a 4” (4.5” OD) pole. Please do not over tighten mounting
hardware at this step as you may wish to “fine tune” the exact angle of your sign for optimum results as
described in
”Final Positioning/Fine Tuning”
. Drilling or modification of sign housing will void warranty.
