viafalcon LC radar detector

viafalcon LC radar detector

The viafalcon LC is a microprocessor-controlled radar detector for movement and speed detection applications at medium distance range. Its wide detection zone with a 28° x 28° antenna angle reliably covers vehicles and pedestrians, approaching and/or leaving, with adjustable detection direction; cars are detected at up to 100 m.

If the adjustable speed threshold is exceeded, the detector sets its signal output (relay) for an adjustable hold time, for example to request or extend a green phase at an intersection, or to trigger a speed-activated variable message sign. An integrated numeric vehicle counter, adjustable detection sensitivity and parameter setting via the serial RS232 interface (or optionally manually through switches) complete the compact package.
