Section A – Installation
2. LOCATION SELECTION
In order to optimize your traffic calming results, there are a few simple things to keep in
mind and simple steps to follow. You’ll want a mounting location that’s on a relatively flat
stretch of road and is not too close to any stop signs, intersections, or sharp curves in the
road. A clear line-of-sight relatively free of obstructions such as large trees, fences or
other landscape features is desired. The radar unit is single-directional, so only the speed
of oncoming vehicles is displayed. If solar powered, solar panel should be mounted on the
South side of the pole and be clear of shade from trees and buildings. Any shade over the
panel will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the charging system.
3. HANGING THE SIGN
Your FAST 350/360/375 includes mounting hardware for a 4” (4.5” OD) pole. Please do not
over tighten mounting hardware at this step as you may wish to “fine tune” the exact
angle of your sign for optimum results as described in Section 4. If you have special
mounting needs and plan to modify the enclosure, please be careful to ensure that your
hardware does not contact interior components. Also be sure to use a sealant to maintain
a weatherproof environment inside the sign. Improper installation may cause damage to
interior components and void warranty.
4. FINAL POSITIONING / FINE TUNING
See Figure 3a for some basic positioning tips. Keep in mind that the 18” tall characters are
readable to 1000 feet. If the radar unit is picking up vehicles too far away, simply rotate
the unit clockwise so that it’s facing the opposite curb a bit more. Likewise, if the unit is
picking vehicles up too close or not far away enough, rotate counter-clockwise.
Remember, you may adjust the radar gun angle (aim) in the FAST 350/360/375 as well as
the mounting angle of the enclosure on the pole for maximum fine-tuning, Figure 3b.

5. Assembly - ADD “YOUR SPEED” SIGN
Install the “YOUR SPEED” sign on the enclosure. For the RU2 Fast 350/360 you will notice
(2) tamper-resistant screws and (3) button-head screws running horizontally atop the face
of the sign. Remove screws (tamper-resistant tool is provided in your tool kit), affix the
“YOUR SPEED” sign being careful that it is face up, and tighten the screws. For the 375,
(4) tamper resistant screws and (6) button-head screws install the R2-1 “YOUR SPEED”
sign.
6. WIRING
Your FAST 350/360/375 comes equipped to be powered either 12 volts D/C or 100-277
volts A/C (50/60 Hz). The required voltage should be noted on the end of the power cord
that leads into the enclosure. If you are unsure what you’ve purchased, please contact us
before proceeding. Enlist the services of a licensed electrical contractor for installation
assistance if needed.
For A/C powered units the power cord exiting the back of the enclosure has three wires;
a WHITE = Neutral lead, BLACK = Line (Hot), and GREEN = Ground. Please be cautious and
take care to observe polarity of wires while installing. If optional Data Recording System is
purchased, an additional wire is included – WHITE = Data positive, BLACK = Data
Negative, GREEN = Data.
For D/C powered units WHITE = Positive, BLACK = Negative, and GREEN = Data (for the
optional data collection unit).

Section B – Operation
7. POWER UP
Now that your enclosure is pole-mounted securely, the “YOUR SPEED” sign is affixed, and
your wiring is completed, you are ready to power up. Find the included key, insert into
the switch at the bottom, right side of the enclosure. Turn clockwise ¼ turn to the “ON”
position.
When first turned on, the display will show a number between zero and 9. This number
indicates the brightness level of the display indicating the brightness is being set
automatically due to the surrounding sun light. Note: The brightness control is always on
automatic but it can be checked for proper operation by the user, if needed. To check this,
refer to the paragraph “Auto Intensity Diagnostic Mode, code 9981” in the Advanced
Features Section.
You will see there is a small programming push button located underneath the display at
one bottom corner (blue arrow Figure 4a). This button or the remote will set all display
features.
Figure 4a Figure 4b
Key Chain Remote Control
•The left button directs the numbers up with the other directing down. When
the sign is in run mode, holding both buttons in for 1 second resets the sign
without having to cycle the power key.
•To replace its battery, remove the small Phillips head screw located on the
lower back and replace with a type 27A, 12volt alkaline cell.
8. PROGRAMMING THE DISPLAY
The speed codes and their meanings
Read over the following programming codes listed in the Speed Code Table
below to become familiar with the two-letter groups (modes) you want to set in
the sign using the push button. Concentrate on the “Normal Mode” (NM) and
“Violator Alerts”
(VA) modes only, for now. Notice that they are grouped so that for example, when
“VA” is selected, you can set the “Minimum Speed”, Flash (speed), Blank (speed),
etc. As the last numbers are entered, the display is ready and goes blank.

SETTING THE SIGN IN “NORMAL MODE”
The simplest mode to put the sign into is the “NM” (Normal
Mode). Instructions:
1. Turn the power on with the key. After the brightness number changes,
start pushing the button and stop on the two letter code “NM”.
2. As the display goes dark, it is now running in “Normal Mode”. In other
words, the sign will display the speed of oncoming vehicles from 5 mph
(down to 1 mph is also available, see Advance Features Section) to 99
MPH without showing any alerts. So for this code only, no further
programming would be needed.
PROGRAMMING THE SIGN IN “VIOLATOR ALERT” MODE
This section covers setting the standard “Violator Alert” functions including the
optional “Slow”, “Red & Blue” flashing signals. Note: The pushbutton instructions
described in the following paragraphs also apply to the use of the key chain remote
control buttons.
Turn power on. After the brightness number changes, push the button and stop on
“VA”. The display is now in “Violator Alert” setup mode. The Violator Alerts 1 to 5 will
then begin to appear in the order of the photos as shown below. Note: If the
Adaptive Micro Systems LLC | 7840 North 86th Street | Milwaukee, WI 53224
Phone [phone] | AdaptiveDisplays.com

Timer is enabled, (see Section 11 “Setting the Clock and Timed Events) the sign will run
in Violator Mode (or any other mode) only during the selected event timed program.
Otherwise, if the timer is disabled, the sign will run continuously (not recommended for
overly long periods of time when on battery power only).
“Violator Alert”
Violator Alert 1: MS - Minimum Speed
After seeing the “VA” screen, the display will show “MS” (see photo below) along with a
number. The number represents the lowest speed at which the display will start
showing all oncoming vehicles. When this number appears, the operator has 5 seconds
within to start pushing the button in order to program this “MS” speed setting. Press the
button until the desired speed setting is reached. (Note: If the button is held down, the
numbers will increment fast without having to press the button many times. The
numbers will start over after 99 if you miss your desired speed without turning off the
power. If using the key chain remote, simply press either button to move the numbers
forward or backward). Once the desired setting is reached, stop and wait for the next
screen to appear after approximately 5 seconds. The screen will then change to the next
screen for speed setting.
“Minimum Speed”
Violator Alert 2: SL - SLOW DOWN (Optional Feature)**
Check your packing slip or order to verify that this optional feature has been included
with your product. If this feature was ordered, the display will now show the red
“SL” (Slow Down) message and show a speed setting number. The red “Slow Down”
message is effective in helping to calm traffic. When the operator sees the setting number
appear, push the button within 5 seconds in order to change this number until the
desired speed setting is reached. Note: You can set the numbers even when the words
“Slow Down” are flashing. Once the desired setting is reached, stop pressing the button
and wait for the next screen, after approximately 5 seconds.
Adaptive Micro Systems LLC | 7840 North 86th Street | Milwaukee, WI 53224
Phone [phone] | AdaptiveDisplays.com

“Slow Down” Message
Violator Alert 3: RB - Red and Blue flashing lights (Optional Feature)**
Check your packing slip or order to verify that this optional feature has been included
with your product. If this feature was ordered, the display will now show “RB” which
effectively flashes the Red and Blue flashing light pattern at the driver while displaying
their speed. The operator has 5 seconds to start pushing the button in order to change
the number setting. Note: You can set the numbers even when the “Red & Blues” are
flashing. Press the button until the desired speed setting is reached. Once the desired
setting is reached, stop and wait for the next screen after approximately 5 seconds.
“Slow Down” // “Red & Blues”
Violator Alert 4: FL - Flashing Speed
The display will now show “FL”. When drivers go over this setting, they will see their
over-the-limit speed flash. The operator has 5 seconds to start pushing the button in
order to change the speed setting. Press the button until the desired speed setting is
reached. Once reached, stop and wait for the next screen to appear after
approximately 5 seconds.
“Flashing Speed”
Violator Alert 5: BL - Blanking Speed
The display will show “BL” which is the speed limit that the display will no longer show
the oncoming vehicles speed. This setting will prevent drivers from increasing their
speed over this speed limit to see how fast they can go. Press the button until the
desired speed setting is reached. Wait approximately 5 seconds and the sign will go
dark. The display is now in service and operating in “Violator Alerts” mode.

Phone [phone] | AdaptiveDisplays.com

“Blanking Speed”
** Optional SLOW DOWN and Flashing Red & Blue Violator Alerts can be purchased and
activated at any time. Call Customer Service 866-982-2107 for pricing and information.
Notes:
•After this last “BL” screen, all of the violator alert settings have been saved even
after the sign is switched off. When the sign is turned on again, it will run thru
all of the modes and their speed settings for the operator to review.
•If desired, the sign can be pre-set at your base facility for transportation and
set-up at a different location.
•The violator alerts can be set in any order, but not at the same speed. If
attempted, this setting will skip to the next available number. To get the best
effect from the alerts, set the speeds at least 3-4 MPH difference. If you wish to
not use one of the violator alert settings, set the speed high, i.e. 97 MPH.
•Holding the button will scroll through the numbers faster for quicker setup. If
the desired setting is passed, the numbers will start over after 99.
•If using the optional key chain remote, the left button advances the numbers
while the right button reverses them.
•To start over, either turn off/on the sign with the power key OR when using the
key chain remote, hold the left button in for 3 seconds for a power reset.
After setting the clock, (see Section 11 “Setting the Clock & Timed Events”) the
sign will revert back to Normal Mode (NM). If Violator Alert mode is desired, it
will have to be set to “VA” mode again.

Traffic Set-Up Examples
35 mph neighborhood speed limit
Set the “MS” (the radar detected Minimum Speed limit) at 5 mph, the
“SLOW DOWN” message at 35, “Flashing Speed” at 40mph, the “Red and Blues”
at 50 and the Blanking Speed at 60. This is what will happen: Oncoming vehicles
speeds will be shown on the sign traveling from 5 to 34 MPH. If the vehicle is
traveling 35 to 39, the SLOW DOWN message will flash. Between 41 and 49, their
speed will be displayed while flashing. Over 50MPH, the display will show the
Red + Blue flashing lights pattern. At 60 and above, the display is blank. As the
vehicle slows, the appropriate “Violator Alert” will show for their speed until they
reach 34 MPH where their speed is displayed normally.
School Zones
Set the “MS” (the radar detected Minimum Speed limit) at 15 mph (so drivers in a
school zone obeying the speed limit are not distracted), the “Flashing Speed” at
16mph and the “Blanking Speed” for 40mph. This is what will happen: For speeds
under 15 MPH, no speed will be displayed. The display will flash the speed for
vehicles traveling between 16 and 39 MPH. No speed will be displayed above 40
MPH.
Open Road
Set the “MS” (the radar detected Minimum Speed limit) for 45mph, the
“Slow Down for 70mph, “Red and Blues” flashing pattern for 75mph,
“Flashing Speed” for 65, and the “Blanking Speed for 85 (to prevent vehicles
speeding by the sign to see how fast they can go). This is what will happen:
Normal vehicles will just see their speeds from 45 to 65 MPH. Vehicles moving at
66 to 69mph will see their over-speed flash. If they travel over 70 mph, the red
“Slow Down” message will flash. Vehicles speeding over 75mph will see the “Red
and Blues” flashing lights pattern. No speed will be displayed at 85mph or above.
9. RESULTS
The readings from the radar unit are filtered. The radar unit is very sensitive, so for
continuity of the oncoming driver, not every reading may be displayed. If there is a
difference between vehicle speeds of more than 3 miles per hour per second (extreme
acceleration or deceleration), the display will simply hold the last recorded speed for a
few seconds rather than jumping back and forth between speeds. A couple of examples:
Example 1:
Example 2:
If a vehicle is traveling at 35mph and the car behind him is traveling at
40mph, the sign will display the first vehicle at 35 until it passes. The
first vehicle’s speed will show for 1-1/2 seconds after it passes, so the
radar can establish and display vehicle two’s speed at 40mph.
If a vehicle accelerates towards the sign from a stop at greater than 3
miles per hour per second, no speed will be displayed. If a vehicle
accelerates at 3 miles per hour per second or less, the sign will display
the speed as it increases.

10. ADVANCED FEATURES
In addition to the standard features there are some advanced features available mainly for
trouble shooting.
To enter the Advanced Feature mode, turn the unit ON and press the programming button five
(5) times before the intensity number blinks. First an “A” will appear on the left digit and a
number on the right. Press the programming button until the appropriate number is shown for
that slot. Wait for a “B” to appear and repeat this for “C” and “D” as well. This will put you into
that mode until the unit is turned off and back on again. See below a list of codes and slots for
these advanced features.

Minimum Speed Mode
Lower speeds of 5 mph are distracting in most applications but are desirable in some. As a
default, the display will only show down to 5 mph but down to 1 mph is available. Putting in
the minimum speed code will turn on and off the down to one mode. If after putting in the
minimum speed code, the display shows “S1” then the speed will show down to 1 mph. If “S5”
shows then the speed will only show down to 5 mph.
Alternate Slow Down Mode
The display can show the “Slow Down” violator alert two ways. One is that only “Slow Down” is
shown if the vehicle speed is over that set speed. The other is that the “Slow Down” will show
and then the vehicle speed will display, alternating between the two until the vehicle slows
below the set speed. Both are very effective but one could be preferred above the other. The
default is just “Slow Down”. To switch from one or the other, put in the code and if the display
shows “On” then only the “Slow Down” message will display. If after the code is put in and “Off”
shows then the display will alternate between “Slow Down” and their speed.
Demo Mode
Demo Mode will allow you to select 1 of 6 Demo. The display will show DM for Demo Mode
and then a number. Change the number to the desired demo. Please note the sign when
turned off will not turn on back on Demo Mode, but normal operating mode.

Display Diagnostic Mode
Display diagnostic mode will make several patterns on the display used to test the display
integrity. Pressing the program button five (5) times while the display is blank just after The
red and blue test will exit and return to Main Menu.
Auto Intensity Diagnostic Mode
Auto Intensity Diagnostic Mode will test the ability to auto adjust the brightness of the display
according to the ambient light. A small sensor in the center of the sign reads the outside light
so the processor may determine how bright to make the display. Once in this mode, the
outside light can be varied and will show a number from 0 to 9, with 0 being the lowest and 9
the highest. Putting your hand over the sensor can change this reading.
Turning the Radar Acceleration Filter On and Off
Once this code is put in the display will show either an “On” or “Off”. “On” means the filter was
off and will now be turned on. “Off” means the filter was on and will now be turned off. We
recommend the Filter be “On” for most applications.
Turning the No Display Availability On and Off
This feature simply leaves the “ND” mode in or out of the main menu. “On” means the display
availability was off and will now be turned on. “Off” means the Display Availability was on and
will now be turned off. We recommend the Display Availability be “Off” for most applications.
Turning the Set Time Availability On and Off
This feature simply leaves the Set Time mode in or out of the main menu. “On” (or code EN –
Enable) means the Set Time Availability was off and will now be turned on. “Off”
(Code DS – Disable) means the Set time Availability was on and will now be turned off. We
recommend the Set Time Availability be “Off” for most applications. See Section 11 for
detailed operating instructions.
“Optional” Slow Down and Red Blue Violator Features
These features are built in to your radar display but may not be configured to operate
because they are either not appropriate for the application or were not purchased.
These optional Violator Alerts may be viewed by running the demo mode in the “Advanced
Features” section of this manual.

11. SETTING THE CLOCK AND TIMED EVENTS
Note: Unless the sign is to be powered on and off automatically at certain times, it is not
necessary to set the clock
The internal timer is a 24 clock used to turn off the display’s system to extend battery
life or to prevent disturbing residents at late or early hours. This feature will not
take into account weekends, holiday or daylight savings time. The Set Time
function must first be “turned on” in order to set the On/Off times. See Section 10 –
Advanced Features, code 9989 to activate this function. Once the feature is activated,
you will see the following codes added to the startup display setting:

SETTING THE EVENT TIMER
Note: If you become lost while setting any of the numbers, the settings operate the
same as the display set. In other words, if any numbers are missed the first time around,
they will repeat again by holding in the pushbutton. Also, the power key can be cycled
on and off to start over from the beginning or the key chain remote option allows you
to advance or reverse all numbers using both of its buttons.
As an example, let’s set the sign to operate only during normal to high traffic
hours (for conserving the battery) to run daily from 5:30 AM to 11:45 PM. The
current time is 8:17 AM. These would be the programming steps:

15. TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS
1. If no speed is displayed:
a) Check power and/or battery(s), if applicable. Battery(s) should be outputting
at least 12 volts.
b) On solar powered units - check solar regulator indicator lights, if applicable.
Check the power to the charger from your solar panel and power out from
the regulator to the battery measures higher than 12 volts. If solar panel is
shaded, batteries may fail prematurely and/or sign will not operate
continuously.
c) Check your “Set Time” feature and be sure your clock is set properly to
display at the correct times. If in doubt, disable the set time feature.
d) Make sure sign is not set in “ND” – No Display mode.
2. If a “NR” is displayed:
Please note the radar can be accessed via a panel on the back side of the LED display.
Use the “L” key to remove the tamper resistant screws and slide the cover over.
a) Check the radar gun connector to be sure of a good connection.
b) Check the indicator light on the back of the radar unit:

Notes
•Inserting the SD card will not automatically erase the previous data. See the
paragraph “Format Card” (part of the In Depth Guide) for the information on
deleting all of the files on a full SD card.
•The data recording unit will save the previous settings, including date, time and
custom file name, if custom name set up and enabled.
•The backlight on the display will turn off after 1 minute of inactivity from the user. If
a card is in the unit, it will continue recording data and display speeds, Figure 3. Press
any key to turn on the backlight again.
Figure 3 – Speed of oncoming vehicles being recorded.
•The data is saved in an ASCII text format and can be viewed using the Traffic Count 7
or you can create your own reports and graphs with the raw data and your own
programs like Microsoft Excel®.
•A 128MB SD card can save over 6,000,000 vehicle entries. Note that the more
vehicles saved on your card, the longer the reports will take to generate.
Section B - In Depth Guide and Setting Commands – Data Recording Unit
Use the + and – buttons to navigate thru the Settings Menu. To select the displayed
option, press the Enter button.
The Settings Menu allows you to:
•Your File Name - This is helpful if you decide to move the trailer to a different location
on the same day. Each file can list, for example, the street name so when you are ready to
run the reports, you can easily identify each location. If you have multiple trailers/signs,
each unit can have a unique name or number.
a) Make Your File Name
The file name is (8) characters long and can be any combination of letters, numbers, and
spaces. The default file name is in “MMDDYY.RU2” format. If the first file is not deleted
and the card is used again on the same date, the next file will read “MMDDYY-

1.RU2”. It will automatically rename the files up to “MMDDYY-9.RU2”. When 10 such
automatically renamed files are already present, you will get an error message.
Settings Menu
Figure 5 – Settings Menu with custom file name set.
To input a new file name, press the “Enter” key at the Your File Name screen. Use
the + and – keys to select the characters and press “Enter”. The cursor will move
to the next space. Once all (8) characters are entered, the screen will read
“Custom File Name Successfully Set”, then the screen goes back to the Return to
Main Menu - + Enter screen. Press “Enter” to return to the main screen.
•Format SD Card - Erasing data on the SD card can be done while the data recorder is
mounted inside the trailer enclosure. This feature is used to delete any existing files on
the SD card. Press the Enter button to use this feature. The display will read “Insert card
(– to cancel)”. To erase the card, insert the card into the memory slot located on the
right side of the data recorder. When it’s finished, the display will read “Format Done,
Remove Card”. The SD card must now be removed to return to the menu features.
2) Error Messages
ERR! Card Lost (Press any Key)
If the SD card is removed without stepping thru the saving data section, this error will
appear. Go back to Section 1 to record new data. Note: Data is written to the card as
vehicles are recorded. The data can be recovered if the card is not cleared.
Write Error/Card Error! Try another SD or Format Card.
If the SD card is bad or full, this message will appear. If the card is bad, try re-formatting
it in the data recorder side slot or your personal computer (if equipped to do so, see
NOTE under “formatting card, as listed above). If this does not remove the error, the
card is likely bad and needs to be replaced.
File Name Max Reached, Clear SD Card or Set Custom Name
If you have tried to use the same file name 10 times, this error will display. To resolve
the error, you can do any or all of the following:
•Create a new file name.
•Clear the file name (so the date will be used).
•Format the SD card, erasing the older files.
