Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Warning: Changes or modifications not expressively approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. NOTE: This modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed on/inside your device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module.

There is a solid-state fuse that will automatically reset if an over current fault occurs. The unit is polarity protected if it is connected to power incorrectly. Please do not open the enclosure as this could void the warranty. The unit is factory configured for either MPH or KPH as indicated by the label on the back of the unit. Most units are configured for MPH. Rev 3/30/07 Manual P/N 108671-001 Wanco Inc. 5 INSTALLATION Your radar head was designed for ease of use and installation and no configuration is required. There are 4 #6 studs to facilitate mounting to a bracket or some other suitable structure. The unit should be secure as possible so that it cannot vibrate. The unit must be pointed straight down the road, with the back side pointed away from traffic as indicated on the label. If the unit is at more than a ten-degree angle to the traffic, either horizontal or vertical, it will start measuring a lesser speed than the actual speed and may not have as much range. See the following figure. The radar enclosure has a 6-foot cable attached to it to provide power and communications. Connect the flying black lead to ground and the flying red lead to +12V. Connect the male DB9 to a controller board, modem, computer etc. to provide communication. Since the radar acts like a DCE, to connect it to a PC only a gender-bender is necessary not a null modem. The output string is 8 bits no parity 1 stop bit (8n1) 1200 baud in Hexadecimal (Hex) not ASCII. Specifically, the data is (2)(84)(1)(SPEED)(1)(AA)(3). This string is output every .5 seconds. The RS232 port can be connected to a computer or some suitable controller for display of the measured speed or for some other purpose such as speed logging. There is nothing that is configurable through the communications port. The pinout of the cable on the DB9 is shown in the following figure.

Part of the signal that is transmitted from the radar transceiver is reflected back from objects such as moving vehicles. Due to the Doppler effect, the signal received from a moving object is slightly lower or higher in frequency than what was transmitted. This frequency offset is measured to determine the speed of the vehicle. Only the speeds of vehicles that approach the radar head are measured. Vehicles traveling away from the head are ignored. Please note though that in the first minute of operation any direction of movement will display so that a tuning fork can more easily be detected to test the radar. The vehicle with the strongest signal, which is normally the closets to the radar head is displayed. The radar he…

Potential Health Hazard EM Radiation Level The minimum separation distance calculated following FCC OET Bulletin 65 is calculated as follows, where S is power density, EIRP(dBm) = E 3 (dBμV/m) – 95.2 dB( mW/(μV/m) ) EIRP = 122.0 (dBμV/m) - 95.2 dB( mW/(μV/m) ) = 26.8 dBm = 478.6 mW ERP = EIRP – 2.15 = 26.8 – 2.15 = 24.65 dBm = 291.7 mW = 0.292 W Thus, the power density at 20 cm becomes S(mW/cm 2 ) = EIRP(mW)/(4ʌ R(cm) 2 ) = 0.095 mW/cm 2 NOTE: (1) Under no circumstances is the ERP of this device greater than 3W, as required by 2.1091 and the FCC mm-wave accepted test procedures.
