INSTALL GUIDE
1.0 Warnings and Precautions
The following symbols indicate important safety warnings and precautions throughout this guide:
WARNING indicates that serious bodily harm or death may result from failure to adhere to the
precautions.
CAUTION indicates that damage to equipment may result if the instructions are not followed.
NOTE suggests optimal conditions and provides additional information.
1.1 Warranty Disclaimer
This manual will familiarize you with the features, operation standards and installation of Carmanah’s
SPEEDCHECK-12 Applied Information (AI) Integration Kit. Failure to comply with the use, storage, maintenance,
installation or placement instructions detailed in this manual could void the warranty.
1.2 Standards
Perform all installation, wiring, grounding and maintenance in conformance with local building and electrical
codes. Adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC) is mandatory to comply with any certification markings.
Non-adherence to code may void the warranty.
1.3 Safety and Usage Precautions
Batteries are shipped fully charged. Use extreme caution when handling the batteries as they can
generate hazardous short-circuit currents. Remove all jewelry (bracelets, metal-strap watches,
etc.) before handling the batteries.
Solar panels produce DC electricity when exposed to light and can therefore produce an
electrical shock or burn. To render solar panels inoperative, remove them from sunlight or fully
cover their front surface with an opaque material.
Before lifting any heavy or bulky equipment, ensure the load is secured so moving parts do not
shift, and that it can be lifted as far as needed without back strain or loss of grip. Installation may
require more than one person.
Ensure the equipment is not powered during installation and wiring of the system.

APPLIED INFORMATION (AI) INTEGRATION
INSTALL GUIDE
Recheck all completed wiring for proper polarity prior to energizing the system.
Changes or modifications to Carmanah equipment not expressly approved by Carmanah could
void both the user's authority to operate the equipment and the warranty.
Product can have sharp edges. Accidental movement of hinged components can cause injury.
This guide is specific to the SPEEDCHECK-12 AI Integration Kit installation and is not a

1.4 Applications
For Carmanah SPEEDCHECK-12 radar speed signs, the AI Integration Kit allows for remote system monitoring,
scheduling and control.
The SPEEDCHECK-12 AI Integration Kit is available in two different states of assembly described below:
•If ordered with a SPEEDCHECK-12 system: the display enclosure harnessing is assembled in the
factory, creating an “AI-ready” SPEEDCHECK-12 system. The AI Integration Kit comes as parts to be
installed by the user following all installation steps provided.
•If ordered separately: the SPEEDCHECK-12 display enclosure must be replaced prior to following these
installation steps. See the note below.
If installing into an existing system that was not ordered with the AI Integration Kit, you will require
a new display enclosure. Contact Carmanah for more information.

2. Install the AI FCU mounting plate into the rear enclosure and secure with three nyloc nuts in the locations
outlined below.
3. Drill a 17/32” hole in the top corner of the rear enclosure at the half shear location. Deburr both sides of
the hole and remove all metal chips.
4. Remove jam nut and washers from antenna. Install coax cables through previously drilled hole. Install
plastic washer, lock washer and nut as shown below. Ensure the antenna is flush with the rear enclosure
and tighten nut with a 19mm wrench.
