VAS designer, this simply means the system power is more efficiently managed by the ability to select the area of interest accurately (regardless of vehicle size). Designed to be simple to use and quickly deployed with a variable sign solution, the 332 range and low speed can be set-up via an RS232 serial interface. -

SIGN ACTIVATION RADAR adjustments. AGD 332 The relatively wide beam profile of the 332 ensures good detection coverage of single or dual lane approaches with relatively little adjustment of the sign in relation to the direction of approaching targets. SIGN ACTIVATION RADAR The recommended mounting height of the radar within the sign is between 2-5 meters with the optimum being 3 metres. - Page 6 AGD 332 PHYSICAL INSTALLATION SIGN ACTIVATION RADAR AGD 332 The 332 is a true range measuring radar that allows the user to select the range that target starts reporting on SIGN ACTIVATION RADAR tracked targets. AGD 332 Each target needs to return sufficient signal in order for the radar to track its range. A target return amplitude is related to its Radar Cross Section (RCS) which is in part related to the reflecting area of the target.

Dynamic frame rate is used to reduce the power consumption of the 332 whilst no valid targets are being SIGN ACTIVATION RADAR detected. It does this by reducing the number of times the transmitter looks for a target per second, after the 332 AGD 332 has not detected a target for 1 second. -
