Eagle Series Radars
Eagle / Eagle Plus / Silver / Golden Eagle
Kustom Signals, Inc.
CPL Approved.
OPERATION
- multi-piece system
remote control
outputs target speed signal to operate a video camera or large speed display (optional)
- X, K and Ka models available
- mph or kmh models available
- stationary or moving mode
- measures on-coming and/or going traffic
-- GOLDEN EAGLE can track targets traveling in same lane/direction
- Instant On or continuous
- operator has option to track/display (NOT on EAGLE model)
-- strongest target echo (0.25 sec min track time)
-- FASTEST target (2 sec min track time)
- Audio Doppler (Target)
- Manual-lock (Speed), separarate display
CONTROLS
- Manual-lock (LOCK)
programmable to clear after 14 min or hold indefinitely until manually cleared
- Stationary / Moving mode / Same-lane (Golden Eagle model)
- Mode switch
- Range Control
- Volume -- Audio Doppler (10 increments)
- Audio Squelch (MUTE)
- Self-test (TEST)
LEDs, ROM checksum, crystal comparison, test target
- stopwatch mode (STOPWATCH)
Operator inputs distance between objects (known in advance), and pushes a button when a target passes each object (radar calculates time between button pushes); radar computes target speed from distance (known) divided by time (button pushes); and displays target speed and time (to travel between objects). Radar does not transmit in this mode.
-- target window displays calculated speed
-- locked speed window displays time (tenths of a sec) from operator inputs (LOCK)
-- distance set with THUMBWHEEL, 1 yard (or meter) increments between 100 - 999 ft.
- other switches?
DISPLAYS / INDICATORS
- Display -- Target Speed
stationary: 10 to 199 mph (16 to 320 kmh)
moving mode: 10 to 199 mph (max CLOSING 199 mph)
same lane/direction target
-- speed difference (between radar and target) must be between 3 and 55 mph (5 and 88 kmh)
- Display -- Locked (target) Speed
- Display -- Patrol Car Speed
10 to 99 mph (16 to 159 kmh)
- Speaker
-- tone equal to target Doppler frequency
-- error tone for system error or invalid function
- Indicators
Hld-- radar in Standby (waiting to transmit)
rFI -- RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) present
Lo -- low voltage
Err-- frequency drift (out of spec) or failure
HAr -- strong patrol vehicle reflections detected, no displayed speed (moving mode only)
INTERNAL FUNCTIONS
- runs self-test automatically on power-up and every 5 minutes.
(LEDs, ROM checksum, crystal comparison, test target)
- automatically clears displays when operator changes mode.
- speed displays automatically adjust brightness to lighting conditions
- 2 data output ports;
port 1 -- speed information to either a video system or giant digital display (safety radar)
port 2 -- time, date, speeds (target and patrol car), and radar modes to a PC or printer.
