Operating Modes
The Golden Eagle II is designed to be a versatile radar
system developed for law enforcement use. It has 7
different operating modes:
1. Stationary Front Antenna
2. Stationary Rear Antenna
3. Moving Opposite Direction Front Antenna
4. Moving Opposite Direction Rear Antenna
5. Moving Same Direction Front Antenna
6. Moving Same Direction Rear Antenna
7. Stopwatch
In the stationary mode, the Golden Eagle II obtains speeds
of target vehicles traveling in either direction. In the
moving opposite mode, it can obtain speeds of vehicles
approaching the patrol vehicle from the front or receding
from the patrol vehicle from the rear. In moving same
direction mode, it can obtain speeds of vehicles traveling in
the same direction as the patrol vehicle, and either ahead of
or behind it. It also automatically calculates whether the
target is slower or faster than the patrol vehicle.
The Golden Eagle II's stopwatch mode calculates the speed
of vehicles traveling between two marks using time and
distance. While in stopwatch mode the antenna
transmitters are turned off.
NOTE: The following guide to operating the Golden
Eagle II radar system is not intended to be a training
program. Before operating this unit or any other
traffic radar system, Kustom Signals recommends all
operators have prior training in radar speed
monitoring devices. Such courses are offered by
Kustom Signals, various state and local agencies and
either IPTM (Institute of Police Technology and
Management) or Northwestern University. Contact
your District Manager for further details.
