Product applicability
The following products are discussed in this article:
- SpeedCheck: SPEEDCHECK-15 and SPEEDCHECK-18
With the advisory sign and Slow Down options
The following SpeedCheck Manager settings should be used to configure your advisory sign accordingly to display the Slow Down message only after a specific speed has been met or exceeded:
- System type set to Advisory Speed (this is factory programmed by Carmanah)
- Operating Mode set to Continuous or Use Scheduler, depending on application
- SLOW DOWN Message enabled under the Device Setup tab
- Speed Limit = 0 (this will disable displaying vehicle speeds)
- Violation Alert = speed at which you want SLOW DOWN to flash or set to 199 for no flashing of SLOW DOWN
- SLOW DOWN Speed = speed at which you want SLOW DOWN to come on solid
For example:
- Sign will be blank until vehicles reach 25 MPH (or KPH)
- Between 25 - 29 MPH SLOW DOWN will be on solid
- Once speeds reach 30+ MPH SLOW DOWN will start flashing
