2. LOCATION SELECTION
In order to optimize your traffic calming results, there are a few simple things to keep in
mind and simple steps to follow. You'll want a mounting location that's on a relatively flat
stretch of road and is not too close to any stop signs, intersections, or sharp curves in the
road. A clear line-of-sight relatively free of obstructions such as large trees, fences or
other landscape features is desired. The radar unit is single-directional, so only the speed
of oncoming vehicles is displayed. If solar powered, solar panel should be mounted on the
South side of the pole and be clear of shade from trees and buildings. Any shade over the
panel will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the charging system.
3. HANGING THE SIGN
Your FAST 350/360/375 includes mounting hardware for a 4" (4.5" OD) pole. Please do not
over tighten mounting hardware at this step as you may wish to "fine tune" the exact
angle of your sign for optimum results as described in Section 4. If you have special
mounting needs and plan to modify the enclosure, please be careful to ensure that your
hardware does not contact interior components. Also be sure to use a sealant to maintain
a weatherproof environment inside the sign. Improper installation may cause damage to
interior components and void warranty.
4. FINAL POSITIONING / FINE TUNING
See Figure 3a for some basic positioning tips. Keep in mind that the 18" tall characters are
readable to 1000 feet. If the radar unit is picking up vehicles too far away, simply rotate
the unit clockwise so that it's facing the opposite curb a bit more. Likewise, if the unit is
picking vehicles up too close or not far away enough, rotate counter-clockwise.
Remember, you may adjust the radar gun angle (aim) in the FAST 350/360/375 as well as
the mounting angle of the enclosure on the pole for maximum fine-tuning, Figure 3b.
