INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the Houston Radar LLC’s directional doppler speed radar DR-500. This state of the art K-band microwave Doppler speed radar is specifically designed for the license free, battery operated speed radar market, for use in speed awareness trailers, school zones and other speed restricted traffic zone speed awareness uses.
The DR-500 is directional in nature. It rejects traffic moving away from it and only measures oncoming traffic. For optimal performance, keep in mind the following: 9 9 9 9 9 Radar should be mounted with the mounting bosses horizontal to the road. Radar should be pointed into the direction of the oncoming traffic. Radar should be placed along the size of the road to minimize the angle of the oncoming traffic to the radar.
The DR-500 radar has capacity to store up to 4Mb of traffic statistics and features an clock/calendar that retains time even when external power is removed. The clock is used to time stamp the collected statistics. This feature is an add-on software option. Please contact Houston Radar LLC for details and availability. Wire # Signal Name 1 +12V DC Directi Description on Input Radar + Power Supply.
This section describes these features and how to program the values into the radar using the IR remote. Stand in front of the radar, between 2 and 10 feet away and point the IR remote to the front face of the radar (the IR receiver window is the small circular hole below the rectangular window). Then follow the following steps to program the following functions: Speed Low Limit: Use this feature to only give speed awareness feedback to vehicles over a certain limit, for example the speed limit.
Set Serial Baud Rate: Note: This configuration is only required at the factory when mating the radar to the selected speed digit display panels. Once configured, the radar keeps the configuration even after power is removed and need not be reconfigured. Use this feature to set the baud rate of the serial data port by following the following steps: 1. Apply +12 V DC battery power to the radar power wires 2.
