The most frequently asked questions
concerning the TARGET LRC 100
1. Can the TARGET LRC 100 be used in place of a radar
detector?
No, the TARGET LRC 100 only receives signals from laser
guns and thus offers no protection against speed traps
that function with the aid of radar equipment. In addition
to the TARGET LRC 100 you need a good radar detector.
2. Does the TARGET LRC 100 also generate a false alarm,
as so often happens with some radar detectors?
No, a quieter travelling companion than the
TARGET LRC 100 does not exist. Because of the active
filters with which the system is provided, there is never
any question of a false alarm. All non-infra-red light
sources are accurately filtered out. The system reacts
only to infra-red light sources with a wavelength of
904 nanometres. Your TARGET LRC 100 gives an alarm
when you are within range of one of the transponders
(garage door, etc.) or when your speed is being
measured with a laser gun.
3. Is the TARGET LRC 100 effective against all
laser guns?
Yes, every laser gun, irrespective of make and type,
operating on 904 manometers, will be recognized as
such and will be neutralized by the TARGET LRC 100.
4. Does the TARGET LRC 100, separately or in combination
with a good radar detector, offer protection against all
speed traps?
No, it cannot offer protection against inconspicuous
surveillance vehicles that follow you and which make use
of a calibrated speedometer to establish your speed.
Neither is the system in a position to detect those
systems that function with the aid of a loop arrange-
ment embedded in the road surface (think about
combined red traffic lights and speed cameras, etc.).
5. Does an ordinary laser detector offer no protection
against speed traps using a laser gun?
No, an ordinary laser detector, such as is often present
in many radar detectors, is absolutely not effective.
At the moment that such a detector is activated, your
speed has already been recorded. Actually, you will only
be warned for the payment of a fine that arrives on your
doormat several weeks later.
6. Can the laser of the TARGET LRC 100 result in eye injury?
No, the TARGET LRC 100 is a class 1 laser system (safe
for the eyes) and is provided with a special lens by
means of which the laser beam fans out over a wide
angle (25° x 10°). The amount of energy that is
released in this way is very low and is accordingly
completely harmless.
