MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY

INTRODUCTION
RADAR DISPLAY
K&K Systems’Radar Displays are designed to keep both pedestrians and vehicular
trac safe by reminding motorists of their speed. By using a violation alert ashing
display, the driver’s attention is drawn to the radar display. Radar displays have
been proven to slow motorist down 5 to 10 MPH.
Our 100,000 rated LED lighting unit displays (2)18”amber digits. Our boards
detect speeds from 5-99 MPH. KPH board is available. We install the display in an
aluminum housing that has been powder coat painted white to prevent glare and
rust.
The Radar unit is solar powered with a charge controller and battery power
backup. Optional trac statistics feedback is available.
BATTERY BOX
The control box is steel fabricated with lockable rotary latches and hinged at the top to
protect the batteries and the controller. Mounting hardware for lower heights for easier
access is available.
DISPLAY HOUSING
The display housing is framed in extruded aluminum and has a polycarbonate plastic that
provides U.V. protection along with glare resistance. The message board uses LED (light
emitting diodes) to produce numbers.
POWER SOURCE
Our products incorporate a battery pack wired for 12V operation, depending on the
requirements of the design. The battery bank is regulated by and protected by a solid-state
charge controller/low voltage disconnect. This prevents gassing and over discharging of
the batteries, which can result in premature failure. A thermal compensation and related
circuitry adjusts the charge rate of the system with variances in temperature.

SAFETY, WARNINGS,
PRECAUTIONS
The following are the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe and responsible use
of your K&K Systems vehicle mounted units.
• Periodically inspect the unit. This includes but is not limited to the wiring, housing, and the
Lexan face.
• Periodically check all nuts, bolts, cable clamps, etc. and tighten, repair, or replace when and
where necessary.
Please remember that the best assurance against accidents is a careful and responsible operator.
BATTERY SAFETY (optional)
It is important that you know that, while 12V DC is not likely to cause electrical shock,
these batteries can produce unbelievable amounts of current that can instantly melt large
tools, burn wires, and heat jewelry to skin searing temperatures. You should become
familiar with how batteries operate so that you will know how to avoid the dangerous
characteristics of a battery.
BATTERY CHARGER SAFETY (optional)
If optional battery charger is installed the battery charger is preset in automatic position.
DO NOT CHANGE THESE SETTINGS because of possible overcharging of batteries. Plug cord
into a standard 120V AC for charging.
SOLAR SAFETY
To reduce the risk of shock or burn during maintenance, solar panels should be covered
with an opaque material and power converter/battery charger should be disconnected
from AC power supply.
LONG-TERM STORAGE
When the sign is to be stored for extended periods of time, the POWER switch should be
turned o, and the solar charge controller should be left on, allowing the solar panel array
to continuously charge the sign battery bank. If possible, place the unit in a sunny area to
allow the unit to maintain the charge on the batteries. When the sign is to begin operation
again, a thorough inspection of all systems is advised before the sign is returned to service.
Check battery state of charge to conrm over 12V.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Please call 888-414-3003 for Tech Support if this guide does not
solve your issue.
PROBLEM STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 STEP 4 STEP 5
No Power
No Detection
No Display
If light is OFF or low:
• Check battery voltage is a
minimum of 12V.
• Charge if not and retest
If“23” is not displayed:
• Set dip switches on the each
panel to 2 and 8 to ON and
cycle the power.
• Check LEDs are illuminating.
If not:
• Check for power at the green
plugs
• Check Battery Light on
the Solar Controller. At least
2 of 3 of the status lights
should be ON.
• Check the Threshold and
Blanking Speeds are set to
Proper settings for the area
• Aim the radar no greater
than 12 degrees from the
road (almost parallel to the
road)
• Cycle power to radar
• On start-up, check that
“23”is displayed on the unit
If yes:
• See No Detection below
• Activate the radar with a
tuning fork (2400Hz generates
33 MPH).
If you do not have a tuning
fork:
• The tuning fork app on a
smartphone works
• Wave the phone over the
radar at full volume

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Please call 888-414-3003 for Tech Support if this guide does not
solve your issue.
PROBLEM STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 STEP 4 STEP 5
If Load Light is OFF:
• Check for (3) Red Flashing
LEDs on the radar controller

speed
• Check radar output
If radar is outputting, but
not getting data to the
controller:
• Check data cable from radar
to controller
• Check display cable to
panels
• Check wiring to Threshold
buttons
• Set Threshold to 0 MPH and
Blanking to 99 MPH.
• Test
If changing Threshold
Speeds does not resolve
the issue. If the radar is
outputting, but not sending
data through the controller:
• Please call us
If no power at plugs:
• Trace power wires and
ensure connection of the
Terminal Block
If LEDs are illuminated:
• Reset dip switches
• L: 2; R: 1 and 2
• Trace gray display cable
to radar controller. Ensure
proper and correct
connection using diagram
