DISPLAYS / INDICATORS
- Display (LEDs) -- Target Speed
K band models
stationary: 15 to 209 mph (25 to 355 kmh)
moving mode: 15 to 209 mph max closing speed (25 to 355 kmh)
Ka band models
stationary: 15 to 200 mph (25 to 340 kmh)
moving mode: 15 to 200 mph max closing speed (25 to 340 kmh)
- Display (LEDs) -- Locked (target) Speed or Fastest target
- Display (LEDs) -- Patrol Car Speed
12 to 80 mph (34 to 126 kmh) -- in moving mode opposite direction traffic
20 to 80 mph (34 to 126 kmh) -- in moving mode same direction traffic
TARGET speed must be within +/- 70% of patrol car speed,
and faster or slower than patrol car by more than 3 mph (5 kmh).
- Speaker -- audio tone proportional to target speed (higher tone for higher speeds)
- Indicators (LEDs)
Low Voltage
RFI -- Radio Frequency Interference
INTERNAL FUNCTIONS
- speed displays automatically adjust brightness to lighting conditions
- RS-232 (9 pin connector) -- data to a video recording system
