A short survey of applications and technology of Falcon radar detectors.
Radar detector with lowest power consumption below 50mW. Microprocessor controlled radar detector for movement and speed detection applications at long distance range with data output for the measured speed values. Detects approaching and / or leaving vehicles (detection direction adjustable). Narrow detection zone with 12° x 17° antenna beam width. Parameter setting b the serial RS232 interface an manually through switches. The detector sets a relay if the speed exceeds or falls below the adjusted speed threshold. A third relay indicates the vehicle movement direction. Numeric data output of all measured speed values by RS232 interface. Cycle time for the measurement is adjustable between 200ms and 3 s. The distance range is adjustable in 5 steps. With the integrated discharge protection he is particularly suitable for solar and batter powered applications.
