1. Display. (1)

Can be fitted virtually invisibly in any car.

2. Power/Volume button. (P/V)

Press briefly to switch your Vector

Europa 966R on or off. The self-test will

take place automatically and the standard

setting will be 34 gigahertz. See 'led 34'.

By holding P/V (2) pressed in you can

adjust the volume with leds (12).

3. 34 GHz. (3)

Lights up green when the Vector

Europa 966R is active. When detection

occurs the 34 GHz led will flash.

Initially the 34 GHz frequency is the

standardsetting. This setting will detect

commonly used speed-checking equipment

on motorways.

4. 24 GHz switch. (4)

This switch activates the 24 GHz

frequency. The green led (5) will light up

when this frequency has been activated.

On detection the 24 GHz led (5) will

flash. This frequency is used not only on

motorways but also on secondary roads.

5. 13 GHz switch. (6)

This switch activates the 13 GHz

frequency. The green led (7) will light up

when this frequency has been activated.

When detection occurs the 13 GHz led (7)

will flash.

6. High switch. (HI)

This is used to increase the reception

sensitivity of the 13 GHz frequency.

The HI led (9) will light up to confirm

operation. The Vector Europa 966R only

gives anaudible alarm on detection of 13

GHz signals if the signal strength is greater

than two leds (12). This standard setting

avoids false alarms. You can increase

sensitivity for the 13 GHz frequency using

the HI-switch.

7. External port.

Your supplier will be able to explain all

the expansion possibilities for your Vector

Europa 966R.

4Operation of the Vector Europa 966R.

8. Laser Led. (L)

The red led (11) lights up when any

optional equipment fitted transmits signals

via the external port.

9. Signal strength. (12)

These red leds light up one by one to

indicate the strength (distance) of the

radar source.

In the case of laser detection only the first

and last leds light up (alternately).

10. Audio Alarm Speaker. (13)

Gives different audible warning signals

for the various frequencies (13, 24 or 34

GHz) or laser check. You will soon learn to

recognise these frequencies by glancing to

check which leds are illuminated.

You can adjust the volume of the audible

signals with button P/V. The first time

you 'hold the button in' the signal will get

louder. For a softer signal, release button

P/V briefly and then press and hold it in

again. The signal strength corresponds with

the four leds (12).

11. Antenna. (14)

This contains the electronics with

which the radar signals are received. For

fitting refer to the installation instructions.

12. Antenna opening. (15)

See installation instructions

Automatic self-test and memory

of Vector Europa 966R.

When P/V is pressed the Vector Europa

966R immediately performs a self-test.

This test causes the 34-GHz led and the

signal-strength leds (12) to light up.

The operation of all warning signals (13)

for 13, 24 or 34 GHz and laser is checked.

The Vector Europa 966R's power circuit is

also checked.

For your convenience the Vector Europa

966R automatically remembers your

settings when it is switched off.

The ESP (Enhanced Signal

Processing) chip.

Your Vector Europa 966R is equipped

with an ESP chip. This prevents frequent

false alarms and/or the unit being affected

by your GSM phone.

5Operation of the Vector Europa 966R.

The Vector Europa 966R is perfectly

tuned for the European situation.

Please note: In France and Belgium the use

of radar-detection equipment is prohibited

and can attract a substantial fine.

The advantage of the Vector Europa 966R

is that it can be installed virtually invisibly

(in contrast to windscreen-mounted

detection equipment). It is therefore

unlikely that you will be 'caught' unawares.

However, you may choose to leave your

Vector Europa 966R at home when travel-

ling abroad.

In most European countries the use of

radar-detection is not prohibited. Like your

radio, a detector is an ordinary receiver.

You are probably familiar with

them:

a. Checks using static boxes (often in a

concealed position next to the road)

b. Or using stationary vehicles or trailers

c. Or using hidden equipment mounted

in a post.

Often, if you exceed the maximum

speed limit, you are also photographed

and stopped immediately.

On European motorways the standard

equipment used is 34 and 24 GHz.

In a few cases older equipment is still used,

which operates on 9.41, 9.9 or 13.450 GHz.

Such equipment is no longer in production

and will therefore disappear completely in

due course.

6 General information. The most common checks.

Stationary speed radar, measuring

the speed of vehicles moving away.

The Vector Europa 966R will warn you

between 200 and 300 metres.

Stationary speed radar, measuring

the speed of approaching vehicles.

The Vector Europa 966R will warn you

between 300 and 700 metres.

Mobile measurement of vehicles

moving away.

The Vector Europa 966R will warn you

between 200 and 300 metres.

Your photo can be taken in a

flash!

The Vector Europa 966R offers no

guarantee against fines. The Vector Europa

966R will promptly identify virtually any

radar check. But it does not protect you

against inconspicuous police patrol vehicles

or against cameras that operate via 'loops'

in the road surface.

Is the Vector Europa 966R ready

for the future?

The frequencies currently used in radar

traps are unlikely to change quickly.

Because of the high cost of the equipment,

it will not be easy for the authorities to

change to replacement frequencies.

In this regard, therefore, you will be able

to continue to use your Vector Europa 966R

for several years.

7The most common checks.

The Vector Europa 966R

package contains:

The antenna • 4 metres of antenna

cable •3 Tie-wraps •An antenna-mounting

bracket •A signal reflector.

The Display • A power cable with fuse

•A plastic holder •A dashboard frame

•A frame template •A spare fuse.

Sundry materials • 7 machine screws

•2 self-tapping screws (10 mm) •4 self-

tapping screws (18 mm) •2 round-head

screws (18 mm) •7 black nuts •2 silver

nuts •7 O-rings •7 lock washers.

If you are familiar with automobile

electronics: it will take a little time, but

you can install the Vector Europa 966R

yourself. For anyone else: consult your

supplier for professional installation.

Step 1

Positioning the antenna.

First check all components. The best

position for the antenna is behind the front

grill or in one of the spoiler air intakes.

Make sure that the unit has a free 'view' of

the road. The arrow on the antenna must

point in the driving direction and must not

be obstructed by metal obstacles. Plastic,

provided that it does not contain carbon,

will not affect the antenna. N.B.: certain

metallic paints may reduce the efficiency.

Depending on the possibilities,

use the machine screws (A) or the self-

tapping screws (B).

Step 2

Fitting the antenna.

Drill two or four holes as desired in

the mounting plate and fit the antenna

using the machine screws or self-tapping

screws. The antenna should preferably be

positioned vertically.

If it is difficult to mount the antenna

directly on the vehicle, the mounting

bracket supplied should make it possible

to find a suitable place for the antenna.

Remember the driving direction (arrow)

and to position the antenna vertically.

Step 3

Fixing the antenna cable.

Find an existing cable run and use the

tie-wraps to secure the antenna cable.

Avoid moving parts or parts that become

hot.

Use preferably one of the existing

openings in the bulkhead through which to

feed the cable to below the dashboard.

Step 4

Fitting the display.

There are three possibilities for fitting

the display:

a. Below the dashboard or in a compart-

ment. The plastic holder and the tape

supplied will hold the display in place.

b. In the dashboard using the dashboard

frame

c. With the optional slide. When you leave

your car you can then take the display

with you easily. As already mentioned:

In France and Belgium the Vector Europa

966R is prohibited. If you use the slide,

it is easy to remove the unit quickly.

a. Below the dashboard or in a

compartment

Fix the plastic holder using 2 small

holes (2.5mm) and the self-tapping screws.

The display fits into the slots in the holder.

Fitting is even simpler if you use the double-

sided tape supplied: stick the tape at the

point at which you want to position the

display. Then stick the display to the tape

and you're ready. Make sure that there is

enough space at the back for the antenna

cable.

b. In the dashboard with the

dashboard frame.

Find a flat area on your dashboard. Use

the frame sticker as a template to drill the

holes and to saw out the section into which

the display will then fit exactly. Secure the

frame with the self-tapping screws. When

cutting out the section be sure not to dama-

ge any wiring behind the dashboard. Insert

the antenna cable before fitting the display.

c. With the optional slide.

We prefer use of the slide. This then

means that the display can be removed

easily when you leave your vehicle.

It also offers significant advantages when

travelling in countries in which radar

detectors are not permitted.

Fitting is self-explanatory.

Step 5

Inserting the antenna cable into the

display.

Insert the antenna cable connectors

into the back of the black 5-pole plug on

the supply cable.

Pay attention to the colour codes. Click

the black plug into the back of the display.

Step 6

Connecting earth and power supply.

The black (earth) wire must be connec-

ted to the chassis. The red (12V) wire must

be connected to the 12V power circuit.

Make sure that you connect to a

switched power circuit (power off when the

ignition key is removed).

No contact!

If for some reason there is no longer

contact between the antenna and the

display, an audible warning will sound once

a second.

10 Fitting the display.
