Page 5: Introduction
2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.0 Introduction The WW200 uses an external radar module to detect wrong-way events. Once a vehicle has been detected, it will activate the system’s LEDs to warn the driver of their error and encourage self-correction. Radar positioning, sensitivity, range and detection speed can be adjusted so only wrong-way events trigger the system. A WW200 can be paired with multiple WW200 or WW100 flashing warning signs if equipped with the wireless add-on. -

Page 16: Adjusting Speed Units, Detection Limits And Sensitivity
Speed Limit: wrong-way vehicles travelling above or below this speed (depending on the “Trigger Event” setting) will trigger an activation of the connected WW200 system. Default setting is 5 mph. Maximum Detectable Speed: vehicles travelling above this speed will not trigger an activation of the connected WW200 system. -
Page 17: Adjusting Trigger Output Configuration
WW100 system(s) continue to flash after the radar module stops sensing wrong-way vehicle motion. Default is 10 seconds. Trigger Event: this setting changes the conditions under which an activation of the WW200 system is triggered: None: no activations will occur. -
