1. I NTRODUCTION
American Traffic Solutions, Inc. has developed a radar speed camera system utilizing the latest
state-of-the-art digital camera imag ing technolo gy. The Axsis ™ SC-300H digital radar spee d
camera system uses a digital camera and hi gh-speed camera technology in conjunction with
advanced software logic to capture and photograph vehicles exceeding the speed limit.
1.1 C APTURE S YSTEM O VERVIEW
The Image Capture System monitors vehicle speeds in up t o four lanes of traffic and captures
vehicle ima ges and speed statistics for display on the o perator’s Laptop PC. The syste m
digitally photographs vehicles traveling over a designated “trigger” speed limit and saves the
following:
 The speed data from the Radar Unit.
 Date, time and location data.
 Rear image of “receding” vehicles in up to four lanes taken when the Radar Unit detects an
offending vehicle.
The system produces images that allow the review operat or to uniquely identify a n offending
vehicle by its visible id entifiers, such as the vehicle make , model, color, and license plat e
number under normal weather conditions, night and day.
1.2 C APTURE S YSTEM C OMPONENTS O UTLINE
The Axsis™ SC-300H system consists of the following components:
 Radar Base Assembly – (antenna, controller and camera interface)
 System Mount (Tilt and Swivel Head and System Interface Cabling)
 Digital Camera with Lens
 Laptop PC with special mount
 Strobe and Heavy Duty Power Inverter
 System Battery Box, Inverter and Power Distribution

The SC-300H system uses a Battery Box to house two 12 V DC batteries and is mounted in the
rear of the deployment vehicle. DC system p ower and AC strobe power is then distributed
where required to the individual components via a power distribution box located on the floor of
the vehicle near the Battery Box.

3. O PERATING THE S ELF C HARGING B ATTERY B OX
3.1 E XPLANATION
This is the introduction to the self charging battery box. The benefit to this battery box is that as
long as the vehicle is running, the strobe battery should not deplete beyond use. It also keeps
the strobe battery compl etely separate from the radar battery. This is very importa nt because
the strobe battery can inject ‘noise’ into the radar and can cause problems.
3.2 P URPOSE OF THE S WITCH S ETTINGS
The battery box breaks down into two sections.
3.2.1 Charging Side
These are the two switches on the left side of th e battery box. Whichever settings t he switches
are turned to is which batteries will be charging.
1) When the two switches are on set to ‘1’ you will be charging the LEFT battery.
2) When those switches are set to ‘2’ you will be charging the RIGHT battery.
3) When those switches are set to ‘1+2’ you will be charging both batteries.
4) When those switches are set to ‘OFF’ neither of the batteries will be charging.
3.2.2 Static Auxiliary Side
These are the two switches on th e right side of the battery box. T hese determine which
batteries will be used to power the radar and the camera.
1) When the two switches are on set to ‘1’ you will be using the LEFT battery.
2) When those switches are set to ‘2’ you will be using the RIGHT battery.
3) When those switches are set to ‘1+2’ you will be using both batteries.
4) When those switches are set to ‘OFF’ neither of the batteries will be used.

Battery Switching/ Charging Configuration
3.3.1 Morning Shift
Before starting the tuning fork test set the charging switches (left switches) to position ‘1.’ And
set the Auxiliary Switches to position ‘2.’
3.3.2 Afternoon Shift
Before starting the tuning fork test set the charging switches (left switches) to position ‘2.’ And
set the Auxiliary Switches to position ‘1.’
3.3.3 While vehicle is not in use and plugged in
Make sure the following equipment is off.
1) Radar
2) Camera
3) Strobe Generator
4) Laptop
5) Excel Tech 1100W inverter
Once equipment is off, set the left switches to position ‘1+2’ and the right switches to ‘OFF.’

5. T ECHNICAL R EFERENCE M ATERIAL
5.1 A IMING T HE R ADAR U NIT
After the eq uipment is installed and the cables properly connected, the radar cabinet must be
aimed properly.
5.2 S IDE - TO -S IDE (X A XSIS ) L EVEL A DJUSTMENT
The unit must be level side-to-side for the radar beam to project across the road properly. A
level indicator is affixed to the moun t assembly to insure tha t unit is mounted level with respect
to the surface of the road.
5.3 V ERTICAL (Y A XSIS ) L EVEL A DJUSTMENT
This adjustment is important for two reasons:
1) Insure the radar beam is projected correctly across the road.
2) Insure that the vehicles are visible in the photo graph regardless of t he lane in which
vehicles are traveling.
5.4 E STABLISHING C ORRECT R ADAR B EAM A NGLE
The radar beam must b e angled across the roa d at 22.5 degrees from parallel. Th e correct (Z
Axsis) orientation is normally set by a trained Radar technician.
5.5 T UNING R ADAR C ONTROLLER TO THE R ADAR A NTENNA
To insure a ccurate rad ar vehicle speed detect ion, the rad ar controller must be tu ned to th e
Radar Antenna. When required, the “Tuning Procedure” will be carried out by a Radar trained
technician.
