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.
