How Safety Radar Works - Beltronics Ultimate Pro 100 Owner's Manual

Technical Details
TSR Traffic Signal Rejection Software
Your radar detector includes a new
optional boost in anti-falsing software to
eliminate excessive alerts from erroneous X
and K-band sources.One example of this is
traffic flow monitoring systems.These
systems,which are becoming more widely
used in several countries,generate K-band
signals to measure the flow of traffic on a
given road.Unfortunately most detectors
see this as a real threat and will
alert you to it unnecessarily.Our
new proprietary software (TSR),
intelligently sorts,ranks and rejects this
type of false alarm automatically.The result
is ultimate protection without excessive
false alarms.
TSR is a programmable option that is
defaulted"On"in the bands settings.
If you have any questions about this
new feature,please give us a call or visit our
website for more details.

How Safety Radar Works

Safety Warning System,or SWS,uses a
modified K-band radar signal.The SWS safety
radar system has 64 possible messages (60
currently allocated).The SWS messages
your Pro100 can display are listed on the
facing page.
From the factory,your Pro100 is
programmed with SWS decoding OFF.If
SWS is used in your area,your Pro100 will
display the safety messages associated with
the signal.If you wish to detect this system,
use the Programming feature to turn the
Pro100's SWS decoding ON.
NOTE:Some of the safety messages
have been condensed,so that each message
can be displayed on one or two screens on
the Pro100's eight-character display.
Since Safety radar technology is
relatively new,and the number of
transmitters in operation is not yet
widespread,you will not receive Safety
signals on a daily basis.Do not be surprised
if you encounter emergency vehicles,road
hazards and railroad crossings that are
unequipped with these transmitters.As
Safety transmitters become more prevalent
(the number of operating transmitters
is growing every day),these Safety radar
signals will become more common.
