6. Testing the Device
6.1 Operator-Requested Self Test
Pressing the
TEST
button initiates a comprehensive
system self test, which checks the numeric displays and
runs a target speed simulation. The
Genesis-VPD
will
not power down during a self test. The self test checks:
Display Test–The display test verifies that the digit
segments and status LED lights are working correctly
and that none of the pixels in the number segments are
burned out.
Circuitry Test–The system checks the internal
circuitry. If the unit passes all internal checks, the
messages
PASS
or
FAIL
(if a test fails) will appear in the
display window.
Speed Simulation Test–The
Genesis-VPD
verifies speed
accuracy using synthesized Doppler frequencies
corresponding to a series of four simulated speeds:
25,
50, 75,
and
100
when in Km/H mode.
6.2 Mini-Test
The
tSt
option sets the system to automatically perform
a “mini” self test every 10 minutes, which is required in
some states.
6.3 Master Reset
To reset all parameters to default values (except the
tSt
setting), press and hold the
SEL
button while you turn on
the gun. The system will generate a long tone, reset all
the parameters to the default values, and continue
powering up.
6.4 Tracking History
For each enforcement action taken by the police with
respect to a speeding offence arising out of the use of
this radar unit a tracking history must occur. The
tracking history shall consist of:
