TSR Signal Ranking 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.
The TSR software is set up as an
option and can be activated through the
Programming section. We suggest you
turn TSR on if you are experiencing
extreme false alerts in your area. If not,
your detector is ready to start protecting
you right out of the box.
If you have any questions about this
new feature, please give us a call or visit
our website for more details
SWS
How SWS 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 RedLine can display
are listed on the facing page.
From the factory, your RedLine is
programmed with SWS decoding ON. If
SWS is used in your area, your RedLine
will display the safety messages
associated with the signal. If you do not
wish to detect this system, use the
Preferences feature to turn RedLine’s SWS
decoding OFF.
NOTE: Some of the safety
messages have been condensed, so
that each message can be displayed
on one or two screens on RedLine’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.
