SpeedAlert 18 Quick Start Guide

Thank you for purchasing an All Traffic Solutions SpeedAlert 18 data-enabled radar sign.

This Quick Start Guide will show you how to install, power, and configure your new sign.

NOTE:If your purchase includes the Integrated Solar option,

please refer to either the ATS3 Trailer with Integrated Solar

Setup Guide or Pole Mounting Signs with Integrated Solar

Option that came with your sign and available on

www.alltrafficsolutions.com/support.

Before you begin

If you have a TraffiCloud subscription, the first thing you'll need to get started using your

SpeedAlert is to create a data collection Site in TraffiCloud. Each Site is configured with a

speed limit and the direction of moving traffic. They provide a way to keep traffic data

organized for reporting purposes. If necessary, you can also perform Site setup after you

install your SpeedAlert at a physical location. See "Creating a Site"in Getting Started with

TraffiCloud and SpeedAlert.

If you don't have a TraffiCloud subscription, you have several other options for Site and

sign setup, as described in Step 4:Configuring the SpeedAlert locally on the next page.

Step 1:Unpacking the equipment

Upon receiving your new SpeedAlert, check to ensure that you have all of the items ordered. If you notice any damage

or missing items, contact ATS Technical Customer Support immediately.

Remove the SpeedAlert, batteries, charger, and other optional equipment from the boxes.

If your SpeedAlert includes batteries, they should be fully charged before deployment, as explained in Step 2:Charging

the batteries on the next page. SpeedAlert signs can accommodate up to two lithium batteries internally. Although only

one battery is required, two batteries are recommended to increase average sign runtime. Without a solar panel,

continuous runtime with two batteries is typically between 5 and 8 days.

For all steps involving batteries, repeat for the second battery as necessary.

To remove the batteries:

A. Place the SpeedAlert face down on a flat surface and remove the mounting bracket by unlocking the lock with

the supplied key and lifting up on the bottom of the bracket. Then pull to remove.

B. Next, remove the battery compartment cover by removing the thumb screws. Set the key, bracket, and thumb

screws aside.

C. Slide the battery or batteries out of the battery compartment, as shown in [Figure 1] below.

D. Disconnect the connectors, as shown in [Figure 2] below.

Step 2:Charging the batteries Page 2 All Traffic Solutions

Step 2:Charging the batteries

If your SpeedAlert includes batteries, it arrives with the batteries partially charged and they need to be fully charged

before deployment.

WARNING:RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK ANDDAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT The charger is not intended for

outdoor use. Only charge and store the batteries in a controlled environment.

A. Connect a battery to the charger.

B. Plug the charger cable into a power outlet. The light on the charger displays red while charging and changes to

green when charging is nearly complete. A charge can take up to 11 hours for the 12V 16.5Ah LFP batteries

supplied with the sign.

C. When the indicator on the battery charger turns green, repeat for the second battery if applicable, and then

proceed to the next step.

D. Disconnect the battery from the charger.

Step 3:Installing the charged batteries

Follow these steps to install the charged batteries.

CAUTION:Use only the SHORT (3/8"-length) thumb screws to fasten the battery covers. Do NOT use the

longer (3/4"-length) thumb screws supplied for the Your Speed faceplate, as they are too long and can

cause damage to your sign.

A. Place the SpeedAlert face down on a flat surface and remove the mounting bracket and battery cover.

B. Connect the battery wiring harness to the connector inside the battery compartment, as shown in [Figure 2] on

the previous page.

C. Tuck the connector into the space in the top of the battery compartment.

D. Holding the connector in place, slide the battery into the compartment.

E. Replace the cover and fasten it down using the SHORT(3/8"-length) thumb screws.

Step 4:Configuring the SpeedAlert locally

If you have a TraffiCloud subscription, you should use this step only to power on your SpeedAlert, and instead

configure the SpeedAlert online, setting the sign display options, creating messages, and setting up alerts. and

assigning a Site. It's best to perform sign setup in advance, so that your traffic data is captured in TraffiCloud

immediately. See the Getting Started with TraffiCloud guide for your sign.

If you don't have a TraffiCloud subscription, you can do any of the following (see details next page)to perform initial

SpeedAlert configuration locally, either at your office or after the sign is mounted at the roadside.

Use the SpeedAlert mode buttons

»You can configure the SpeedAlert using the Speed Limit and Display Mode buttons.

Use the TraffiCloud Mobile app for Android

»You can configure the SpeedAlert locally using the TraffiCloud Mobile app for Android over a Bluetooth

connection.

Use TraffiCloud Sign Manager

»You can also configure the SpeedAlert locally using TraffiCloud Sign Manager for Windows over the included

USBconnection or optional Bluetooth.

NOTE:Before attempting a Bluetooth connection, make sure the option was purchased for your

equipment.

TraffiCloud credentials.
