Section A – Installation
2. LOCATION SELECTION
In order to optimize your traffic calming results, there are a few simple things to keep in
mind and simple steps to follow. You’ll want a mounting location that’s on a relatively flat
stretch of road and is not too close to any stop signs, intersections, or sharp curves in the
road. A clear line-of-sight relatively free of obstructions such as large trees, fences or
other landscape features is desired. The radar unit is single-directional, so only the speed
of oncoming vehicles is displayed. If solar powered, solar panel should be mounted on the
South side of the pole and be clear of shade from trees and buildings. Any shade over the
panel will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the charging system.
3. HANGING THE SIGN
Your FAST 350/360/375 includes mounting hardware for a 4” (4.5” OD) pole. Please do not
over tighten mounting hardware at this step as you may wish to “fine tune” the exact
angle of your sign for optimum results as described in Section 4. If you have special
mounting needs and plan to modify the enclosure, please be careful to ensure that your
hardware does not contact interior components. Also be sure to use a sealant to maintain
a weatherproof environment inside the sign. Improper installation may cause damage to
interior components and void warranty.
4. FINAL POSITIONING / FINE TUNING
See Figure 3a for some basic positioning tips. Keep in mind that the 18” tall characters are
readable to 1000 feet. If the radar unit is picking up vehicles too far away, simply rotate
the unit clockwise so that it’s facing the opposite curb a bit more. Likewise, if the unit is
picking vehicles up too close or not far away enough, rotate counter-clockwise.
Remember, you may adjust the radar gun angle (aim) in the FAST 350/360/375 as well as
the mounting angle of the enclosure on the pole for maximum fine-tuning, Figure 3b.

5. Assembly - ADD “YOUR SPEED” SIGN
Install the “YOUR SPEED” sign on the enclosure. For the RU2 Fast 350/360 you will notice
(2) tamper-resistant screws and (3) button-head screws running horizontally atop the face
of the sign. Remove screws (tamper-resistant tool is provided in your tool kit), affix the
“YOUR SPEED” sign being careful that it is face up, and tighten the screws. For the 375,
(4) tamper resistant screws and (6) button-head screws install the R2-1 “YOUR SPEED”
sign.
6. WIRING
Your FAST 350/360/375 comes equipped to be powered either 12 volts D/C or 100-277
volts A/C (50/60 Hz). The required voltage should be noted on the end of the power cord
that leads into the enclosure. If you are unsure what you’ve purchased, please contact us
before proceeding. Enlist the services of a licensed electrical contractor for installation
assistance if needed.
For A/C powered units the power cord exiting the back of the enclosure has three wires;
a WHITE = Neutral lead, BLACK = Line (Hot), and GREEN = Ground. Please be cautious and
take care to observe polarity of wires while installing. If optional Data Recording System is
purchased, an additional wire is included – WHITE = Data positive, BLACK = Data
Negative, GREEN = Data.
For D/C powered units WHITE = Positive, BLACK = Negative, and GREEN = Data (for the
optional data collection unit).

Section B – Operation
7. POWER UP
Now that your enclosure is pole-mounted securely, the “YOUR SPEED” sign is affixed, and
your wiring is completed, you are ready to power up. Find the included key, insert into
the switch at the bottom, right side of the enclosure. Turn clockwise ¼ turn to the “ON”
position.
When first turned on, the display will show a number between zero and 9. This number
indicates the brightness level of the display indicating the brightness is being set
automatically due to the surrounding sun light. Note: The brightness control is always on
automatic but it can be checked for proper operation by the user, if needed. To check this,
refer to the paragraph “Auto Intensity Diagnostic Mode, code 9981” in the Advanced
Features Section.
You will see there is a small programming push button located underneath the display at
one bottom corner (blue arrow Figure 4a). This button or the remote will set all display
features.

Key Chain Remote Control
•The left button directs the numbers up with the other directing down. When
the sign is in run mode, holding both buttons in for 1 second resets the sign
without having to cycle the power key.
•To replace its battery, remove the small Phillips head screw located on the
lower back and replace with a type 27A, 12volt alkaline cell.
8. PROGRAMMING THE DISPLAY
The speed codes and their meanings
Read over the following programming codes listed in the Speed Code Table
below to become familiar with the two-letter groups (modes) you want to set in
the sign using the push button. Concentrate on the “Normal Mode” (NM) and
“Violator Alerts”
(VA) modes only, for now. Notice that they are grouped so that for example, when
“VA” is selected, you can set the “Minimum Speed”, Flash (speed), Blank (speed),
etc. As the last numbers are entered, the display is ready and goes blank.

SETTING THE SIGN IN “NORMAL MODE”
The simplest mode to put the sign into is the “NM” (Normal
Mode). Instructions:
1. Turn the power on with the key. After the brightness number changes,
start pushing the button and stop on the two letter code “NM”.
2. As the display goes dark, it is now running in “Normal Mode”. In other
words, the sign will display the speed of oncoming vehicles from 5 mph
(down to 1 mph is also available, see Advance Features Section) to 99
MPH without showing any alerts. So for this code only, no further
programming would be needed.
PROGRAMMING THE SIGN IN “VIOLATOR ALERT” MODE
This section covers setting the standard “Violator Alert” functions including the
optional “Slow”, “Red & Blue” flashing signals. Note: The pushbutton instructions
described in the following paragraphs also apply to the use of the key chain remote
control buttons.
Turn power on. After the brightness number changes, push the button and stop on
“VA”. The display is now in “Violator Alert” setup mode. The Violator Alerts 1 to 5 will
then begin to appear in the order of the photos as shown below. Note: If the
Adaptive Micro Systems LLC | 7840 North 86th Street | Milwaukee, WI 53224
Phone (800) 558-7022 | AdaptiveDisplays.com
Timer is enabled, (see Section 11 “Setting the Clock and Timed Events) the sign will run
in Violator Mode (or any other mode) only during the selected event timed program.
Otherwise, if the timer is disabled, the sign will run continuously (not recommended for
overly long periods of time when on battery power only).
“Violator Alert”
Violator Alert 1: MS - Minimum Speed
After seeing the “VA” screen, the display will show “MS” (see photo below) along with a
number. The number represents the lowest speed at which the display will start
showing all oncoming vehicles. When this number appears, the operator has 5 seconds
within to start pushing the button in order to program this “MS” speed setting. Press the
button until the desired speed setting is reached. (Note: If the button is held down, the
numbers will increment fast without having to press the button many times. The
numbers will start over after 99 if you miss your desired speed without turning off the
power. If using the key chain remote, simply press either button to move the numbers
forward or backward). Once the desired setting is reached, stop and wait for the next
screen to appear after approximately 5 seconds. The screen will then change to the next
screen for speed setting.
“Minimum Speed”
Violator Alert 2: SL - SLOW DOWN (Optional Feature)**
Check your packing slip or order to verify that this optional feature has been included
with your product. If this feature was ordered, the display will now show the red
“SL” (Slow Down) message and show a speed setting number. The red “Slow Down”
message is effective in helping to calm traffic. When the operator sees the setting number
appear, push the button within 5 seconds in order to change this number until the
desired speed setting is reached. Note: You can set the numbers even when the words
“Slow Down” are flashing. Once the desired setting is reached, stop pressing the button
and wait for the next screen, after approximately 5 seconds.

“Slow Down” Message
Violator Alert 3: RB - Red and Blue flashing lights (Optional Feature)**
Check your packing slip or order to verify that this optional feature has been included
with your product. If this feature was ordered, the display will now show “RB” which
effectively flashes the Red and Blue flashing light pattern at the driver while displaying
their speed. The operator has 5 seconds to start pushing the button in order to change
the number setting. Note: You can set the numbers even when the “Red & Blues” are
flashing. Press the button until the desired speed setting is reached. Once the desired
setting is reached, stop and wait for the next screen after approximately 5 seconds.
“Slow Down” // “Red & Blues”
Violator Alert 4: FL - Flashing Speed
The display will now show “FL”. When drivers go over this setting, they will see their
over-the-limit speed flash. The operator has 5 seconds to start pushing the button in
order to change the speed setting. Press the button until the desired speed setting is
reached. Once reached, stop and wait for the next screen to appear after
approximately 5 seconds.
“Flashing Speed”
Violator Alert 5: BL - Blanking Speed
The display will show “BL” which is the speed limit that the display will no longer show
the oncoming vehicles speed. This setting will prevent drivers from increasing their
speed over this speed limit to see how fast they can go. Press the button until the
desired speed setting is reached. Wait approximately 5 seconds and the sign will go
dark. The display is now in service and operating in “Violator Alerts” mode.

“Blanking Speed”
** Optional SLOW DOWN and Flashing Red & Blue Violator Alerts can be purchased and
activated at any time. Call Customer Service 866-982-2107 for pricing and information.
Notes:
•After this last “BL” screen, all of the violator alert settings have been saved even
after the sign is switched off. When the sign is turned on again, it will run thru
all of the modes and their speed settings for the operator to review.
•If desired, the sign can be pre-set at your base facility for transportation and
set-up at a different location.
•The violator alerts can be set in any order, but not at the same speed. If
attempted, this setting will skip to the next available number. To get the best
effect from the alerts, set the speeds at least 3-4 MPH difference. If you wish to
not use one of the violator alert settings, set the speed high, i.e. 97 MPH.
•Holding the button will scroll through the numbers faster for quicker setup. If
the desired setting is passed, the numbers will start over after 99.
•If using the optional key chain remote, the left button advances the numbers
while the right button reverses them.
•To start over, either turn off/on the sign with the power key OR when using the
key chain remote, hold the left button in for 3 seconds for a power reset.
After setting the clock, (see Section 11 “Setting the Clock & Timed Events”) the
sign will revert back to Normal Mode (NM). If Violator Alert mode is desired, it
will have to be set to “VA” mode again.
