viafalcon PLUS 2 radar detector

viafalcon PLUS 2 radar detector

The viafalcon PLUS 2 is a microprocessor-controlled radar detector for real-time traffic data output: vehicle speed, a profile value for vehicle classification and the inter-vehicle net time gap, plus movement and speed signalisation through its signal outputs. With its 11° x 11° antenna it is designed for overhead mounting with a lane-selective round radar spot — particularly suitable where each lane must be measured separately.

In tracking mode the detector delivers speed values and sets the signal outputs (relay or 3 optocouplers) according to programmed thresholds. In counting mode, at a typical measurement angle of 45°, it delivers the vehicle speed at beam entrance and the profile value and net time gap at beam exit — while the 3 optocouplers indicate object detected, speed threshold exceeded and profile value exceeded. Various interface versions are available: RS232 (standard), RS232 + relay, RS232 + 3 optocouplers, serial current loop (tty) or RS422.
