3. FINAL POSITIONING/FINE TUNING
See Figure 3a for some basic positioning tips. Keep
in mind that the 18” tall characters are readable to
1000 feet. If the radar unit is picking up vehicles too
far away, simply rotate the unit clockwise so that it’s
facing the opposite curb a bit more. Likewise, if the
unit is picking vehicles up too close or not far away
enough, rotate counter-clockwise. Remember, you
may adjust the radar gun angle (aim) in the FAST-18
as well as the mounting angle of the enclosure on the
pole for maximum fine-tuning, Figure 3b.
4. WIRING
Your FAST-18 comes equipped to be powered by 12
volts D/C. The required voltage is shown on the rating
tag on rear of sign and on the inside of the enclosure.
This tag also includes your serial number and model
information. If you are unsure what you’ve purchased,
please contact us before proceeding. Enlist the services of a licensed electrical
contractor for installation assistance if needed.

SECTION B - OPERATION
1. POWER UP
Now that your enclosure is pole-mounted securely, the “YOUR SPEED” sign
is affixed, and your wiring is completed, you are ready to power up. Find
the included key, insert into the switch at the bottom, right side of the
enclosure. Turn clockwise ¼ turn to the “ON” position.
When first turned on, the display will show a number between zero and
9. This number indicates the brightness level of the display indicating the
brightness is being set automatically due to the surrounding sun light.
Note:
The brightness control is always on automatic but it can be checked
for proper operation by the user, if needed. To check this, refer to
codes 1003 and 1004 in

You will see there is a small programming push button located underneath the display at one bottom corner
(blue arrow Figure 4a). This button or the remote will set all display features.
