A short survey of applications and technology of Falcon radar detectors.
Microprocessor controlled radar detector for movement and speed detection applications at long distance range. Detects approaching and / or leaving vehicles and pedestrians (detection direction adjustable). Narrow detection zone with 12° x 17° antenna beam width. Parameter setting by the serial RS232 interface and manually through switches. If the adjustable speed threshold is exceeded the detector sets the signal output (relay) for an adjustable hold time. The detection distance range is adjustable in 5 steps.
Applications:
- Speed warning signs
- Speed activated variable message signs (VMS)
- Wrong direction driver detection
- Railway surveillance
- Movement detection
