READ THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FIRST (USER MANUAL)
1. Mount the bracket on the post (the post must be perpendicular to the road and the bracket must be
parallel with the vehicle movement axis). Use the viewfinder to check your installation.
2. Switch on the radar. The LED flashes 5 times at regular intervals.
3. Make sure that the Bluetooth is switched on or that the Bluetooth dongle is inserted in a USB port of
your PC. Start the Icoms software and follow the instructions.
4. Adjust the radar parameters (name of the counting site and Installation parameters):
• Type of installation :
i. Detection direction (approaching, moving away or bidirectional)
ii. Characteristics of the roadway: indicate any inclination of the road or the
post
• Installation height.
• Distance from the axis: distance from the post to the centre of the traffic lane (or the road
for bidirectional).
 The software calculates the inclination angle of the radar. Once the parameters have been
sent, this angle will be applied automatically to the antenna and the software will display the
measurements.
5. Check the accuracy of the lengths (car between 3 and 5.5 m, truck > 6 m).

RESOLUTION OF COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS
▪ Check the battery charge: the LED should light in cycles of 5 flashes.
▪ Check the Bluetooth communication has been correctly established (Dongle in a USB port,
configuration + connection). The Bluetooth logo should be displayed in the task bar.
▪ Avoid any port access conflicts, close any HotSync, PDA type applications, etc.
▪ If the problem persists, switch off the radar and switch it on again after a few seconds. Do
the same with the software.
