ESP (Extended Serial Protocol)
ESP is a communications protocol defined by Valentine
Research and included in V1s with software version*
3.892 and higher. It enables two-way communication
and data sharing between V1 and ESP-enabled devices.
V1’s with ESP are identified by the ESP logo on the front
face below the Control Knob.

Traff ic Monitor Filter
Traffic Monitor Filter is a software algorithm designed to
eliminate the false alarms caused by SpeedInfo, a traffic
flow-measuring system being installed along some U. S.
highways, which sends frequent K-band radar bursts into the
traffic stream. See
www.speedinfo.com
to learn more.
Traffic Monitor Filter is installed, b ut not activated at the
factory. For activation instructions, go to our website;
from the home page select Ask Mike, then Tech Reports,

).
Because K-band POP-radar protection is switched off
when Traffic Monitor Filter is enabled, we suggest you
retain the factory setting if SpeedInfo is not operating
in your area. Ka-band POP Protection is not affected
by Traffic Monitor Filter.
How to know if Traffic Monitor Filter is enabled
During the start-up sequence, just after “P...O...P,” the
symbol “ ” will appear if Traffic Monitor Filter is enabled.
