Page 5: Installation
INSTALLATION MOUNTING HEIGHT, ANGLES, CLEARANCE Mount the radar on a firm structure within a recommended height range of 2m-5m. For optimum performance the radar should be situated on a pole adjacent to the carriageway with an unobstructed view of advancing traffic. -
Page 6: Connecting Power
INSTALLATION CONNECTING POWER • Set your power supply to the correct voltage, which can be found on the label on the top of the unit. • Connect the unit to the supply. • Once powered, the front LED will flash five times whilst the radar performs its self check routines. -

Flow control (handshaking) None (see *BAUD command on page 19) The product will always respond to the “AGD” command via RS422. All outgoing commands should end with a carriage return <CR> character; this is typically the enter/return key of a keyboard, though may be an advanced option in some emulators. -

USER CONFIGURATION TERMINAL SETUP The following Tera Term screenshots will show how to set up and configure the 307 radar detector. These screenshots were produced using the following terminal settings, in order that the commands sent to the 307 would be shown on the terminal screen along with the responses from the radar. - Page 13 USER CONFIGURATION TERMINAL SETUP 3: In the main window, select ‘Setup’ from the top menu and left click on ‘Terminal’ 4: In the Terminal setup window, ensure that Receive is set to CR+LF and that local echo is active...

Page 19: Rs422 Command Details
An advancing target is one that travels towards the front-face of the detector. A receding target is one that travels away from the front-face. The 307 can be configured to report advancing targets only, or both advancing and receding targets. Note that this parameter is also accessible via the switch settings. - Page 20 USER CONFIGURATION RS422 COMMAND DETAILS *LED This command will determine whether the front LED is illuminated during a detect state. Note that this parameter is also accessible via the switch settings. Typical response – #LED?0 where 0 = off and 1 = on *LOWSPEED This command accesses the Low Speed threshold/cutoff in kph.
- Page 21 Typical response – #REBOOT!... *SAVE The 307 needs its settings to be saved after adjustments have been made. Changes not committed with the *SAVE! command will be forgotten on the next power-cycle or *REBOOT!. To maximise the detector’s flash memory, this command should only be used when changes have been made.

RS422. For this reason most RS232 interfaces will not be suitable. 3. When the unit receives an AGD command it will always return a legible response. Send an AGD command to ensure the serial connection is setup correctly. Try sending at each baud rate to identify whether unit has changed from the default value. - Page 24 HELP TROUBLESHOOTING RS422 speed messages cause problems with connected equipment 1. The *MS command controls how often the radar sends a speed message. Sending fewer messages each second may help connected equipment. 2. The *MS command also controls the format of each message. Choosing a format with fewer characters will reduce message overhead.
