Test System
Ensure that the Carmanah E/F/G system to which the radar kit is connected is powered up. See the Carmanah
E/F/G Series User Manual at
Test that the system activates as desired when vehicles approach the pole onto which the radar detection kit has
been installed. If the LED loads fail to turn on, check the following:
Nothing is obstructing the radar module's view of oncoming traffic
•
The radar module is aimed directly at oncoming vehicles
•
•
The LED load turns on for five seconds when an LED Fixture Test is performed (see below)
See the Troubleshooting section if the loads still fail to activate.
To perform the LED Fixture Test on the Carmanah EMS:
Use the up/down buttons on the EMS until "te5t" is displayed
•
Press and hold the "set" button until "no" flashes
•
Press up or down once so that "ye5" flashes
•
•
Press and hold set; fixtures should turn on for 5 seconds
When the radar module detects a vehicle, it shorts the button input terminals on the Carmanah
EMS, turning on any connected LED loads. Once the vehicle motion is no longer detected, the
radar module continues to short the EMS button input for its Output Hold Time setting, see
Section 6.4.
after the vehicle stops being detected.
Any E/F/G EMS with the radar detection kit installed should be left at Input Type "no" (normally
open).
5.0 Maintenance and Product Care
The Radar Detection Kit is designed to operate reliably for years with virtually no need for maintenance.
Carmanah recommends routine inspections to ensure that the radar module and the connected Carmanah E, F or
G system is unobstructed by anything that may prevent effective performance, including:
Dirt and dust
•
•
Snow
•
Leaves
Debris
•
•
Shade that may have developed after installation due to adjacent plant growth.
The frequency of the inspections depends on location and local weather patterns. A yearly visual inspection of the
system is typically enough. The system is designed to be maintenance free, but maximum system performance is
achieved when the LED lenses and solar panels are clean. When inspecting the interior of the E/F/G system,
ensure that the vent screens are undamaged and that the vents are clear and allow airflow.
