SpeedSentry Radar Speed Display - 18
Setup - Speedsentry Speed Display
This section covers the setup and installation of the SPEEDsentry unit, including the attaching the handle,
identifying a proper location, mounting the unit, and positioning the “YOUR SPEED” sign.
To attach the handle to the unit for easy carrying, use the included molded plastic
handle, 2 washers, 2 small screws, and a Phillips screwdriver. Remove the plugs
from the holes on the top of the unit. Align the handle with the predrilled holes on
top of the unit. Add fender washers to 1/4-20 screws and tighten both through hole
into handle from inside the unit.
The SPEEDsentry mounts to a pole, a vehicle hitch, or
a trailer. Pole-mounting options include a 4” aluminum
pole, a U-channel pole, square pole and other
available poles.
Choose a location near enough to the road to allow the
SPEEDsentry to face oncoming traffic as directly as
possible. Pointing the unit with a smaller angle ensures
greater accuracy of the radar. Mount the unit at a height
of 6’ to 8’ to the center of the display, if possible, for
optimal performance. Avoid mounting the unit with
direct sunlight on the face whenever possible. No matter
the mounting option you choose, make sure the
location prevents the unit from interfering with traffic.
NOTE: These same considerations also apply if you use
a ATS-5 trailer.
The mounting bracket allows multiple options for attachment to a pole. Holes in
the mounting bracket accommodate U-bolts (included), carriage bolts (included),
and metal bands (not included).
NOTE: The SS12 is NCHRP 350 accepted when mounted to a 4” aluminum pole
with a breakaway base using the supplied U bolts with the SPEEDsentry mounted
at least 5’ above the ground to the bottom of the unit and with a 26Ah battery
installed. (Acceptance letter SS-135)
