Wanco® Metro™ Message Sign
4.5 Optional equipment
4.5.1 Cellular modem
A cellular modem allows you to communicate with the sign from a remote location via
the Internet. The modem is installed inside the control box and is wired to the message
sign computer.
If your sign has a modem, you can use Wanco remote control software installed on your
computer to perform all the functions from a remote location that you would
otherwise perform using the controller and keyboard at the sign. The modem does not
allow remote control of the message sign winch.
Wanco remote control software can be downloaded from www.wanco.com. Contact
the Wanco Customer Service Department for details (see Section 1.4, page 2).
The cellular modem is optional, auxiliary equipment that may not be included with
your message sign.
If you want to add a modem to your sign, it can be installed in the field. Contact the
Wanco Customer Service Department for details (see Section 1.4, page 2).
4.5.2 Radar
When a message sign is equipped with speed-detection radar, the sign can be
configured to display messages based on the speed of passing vehicles. The radar head
is installed on the bottom of the message sign display cabinet and is wired to the
message sign controller.
The message sign is preprogrammed with several messages that use radar-detected
speed (such as displaying the motorist’s speed), and you can also program your own
radar-based messages by inserting a specific “field code” into your message. For
instructions, see the controller user-interface manual.
Radar is optional, auxiliary equipment that may not be included with your message
sign.
If you want to add radar to your sign, it can be installed in the field. Contact the Wanco
Customer Service Department for details (see Section 1.4, page 2).
