VMS - Radar Control

General

The optional radar speed detection feature installed on a trailer allows for the display of the speed of an approaching vehicle within a range of 100 to 200 metres, and traveling in excess of the trigger speed. The trigger speed is operator programmable from the control console in increments of one km/hr.

Aiming

The radar device is attached to the trailer mounting system at the top left hand side of the sign cabinet (when facing the front of the control cabinet). It will be aimed when you aim the sign at the oncoming traffic which is to be speed clocked as well as visually able to read the sign messages.

Operation

The radar activated message control is operator programmable through the sign keyboard controller. The radar messages to be displayed must be inserted in the 6 position "Radar Message Sequence". The operator may use either the factory pre-programmed messages, or those created by the operator.
