3.1 Determine Installation Location on Pole
The radar module should be mounted on the pole so that its front surface directly faces and has an unobstructed
view of oncoming traffic. The radar module cable is 9.8 ft long; to allow sufficient cable slack, the vertical distance
between the radar mount and the MX system should be at most 7 ft.
For optimal radar performance:
Mount radar at least 6 ft above the ground (for maximum range).
•
• Minimize the angle between target traffic and the radar module.
If the radar module can't be located near the side of the road, it may need to be pointed further
up the road to detect vehicles effectively.
3.2 Install Carmanah MX system on Pole
Use the instructions supplied with your system to install the Carmanah MX system onto the pole.
