5 Service- and repair assistance guide
This part of the documentation explains service and maintenance of Variable Message Signs.
Authorised and qualified stuff only is permitted to carry out Service and Maintenance work! The
main power of the VMS must be switched off before changing any parts!!!
DANGER OF LIFE!!!
In case of any fault or failure message the supply voltages have to be checked according to the circuit diagram
first. The following chapters will give additionally information to find and replace defective components.
Only original spare parts from SWARCO FUTURIT may be used!
Defective units must be sent back to SWARCO FUTURIT with an error description and the serial number of
the VMS and where it was demounted, to accept guarantee or warranty demands.
5.1 Over voltage protection
Over voltage protection devices have windows indicating the status of the device. If the window is red this unit
is defect and has to be changed. Replace the element by a new one from the same type.
Note: When measuring insulation in the system, remove the elements, during the measurement!
5.2 Replacement of line safety switch or an faulty current circuit breaker
Each VMS consist of safety switches (LS). Electrical units are protected by these switches. Service plugs or
light bulbs are protected by an additional fault current circuit breaker (FI-LS)
To change such a unit do as follows:
1. Switch off the power of the VMS!
2. Open the screws of the terminal and remove the wires
3. On their bottom side the units have a locking device. Use a flat screw driver to pull out this device.
Now it’s possible to change the unit.
To install a new unit, follow the steps in reversed order.
Hint: Faulty current circuit breaker switches are equipped with a test button. Use this button to check the
functionality of the unit during inspection of the VMS.
5.3 Replacement of a DC-DC converter
If no voltage is measured on the secondary side, while the unit is properly connected to the main power, the
DC-DC-converter has to be replaced:
1. Switch off the power of the VMS!
2. Remove all wires.
3. The unit is either mounted with 4 screws or mounted on a din rail. Remove the power supply properly.
To install a new unit, follow the steps in reversed order.

5.4.3 Configuration of LED-Chain-Driver Master and Slave
For configuration of the LChD you may use MS-Excel as editor.
To communicate with the system, connect a terminal(emulator) set at 9600
baud, 8 data-bits, 1 stop-bit, no parity.
If the dip-switch is set to:
00 the system reads configuration from eeprom and starts running.
01-7F TLS id 1-127 at 9600 8/1/E (see separate section on TLS)
80-8F the system reads configuration from eeprom and starts running, controlling by the
right dip-switch (0-F) one of the following:
current - light control mode 5
flashing time - dip switch mode 1
first timer - dip switch mode 2
A0-EF the system is responding to FuturitCom requests with addr=0-79 at 9600 baud
FE burn in program, all chains on 20 mA
FF production test program
other the system starts running the default configuration - see below
Pressing <Enter> shows:
RUN>
To create new configuration, enter:
CONFIG
the system displays:
CONFIG>
when using TLS first define the valid symbols:
TLS 23 24 25
23 turns on I/O 201 (202 if flashing)
24 turns on I/O 203 (204 if flashing) etc.
..
..
Up to 16 symbols can be entered.
when using ChainCom optionally enter alternate broadcast ID:
BI 254 sets the broadcast ID to 254 instead of the default 255.
now you can enter the flashing ON and OFF-time with one decimal:
T 1.0 2.0 sets the flashing time to 1.0 second ON and 2.0 seconds OFF; the OFF time can be
followed by up to eight timers.

Light control parameters:
L 500 5000 1 makes the system adjust the currents linearly between the minimum and maximum
current. At lux value 500 you get the minimum current, at 5000 the maximum current.
The first parameter (500) defines min-lux, the second (5000) defines max-lux and the
last parameter (1) defines the light control mode:
0 light control via DI 5, if the input 5 is used for light control do not fill in L-line
1 linear control
2 logarithmic control
3 ON/OFF control - sign is dimming if lux-value is ≤ min-lux and stops dimming when
lux-value > max-lux
4 controlled by ChainCom or in a slave by the ChainBus master; if min- and max-lux
are not used - use: L 0 0 4
5 controlled by the right dip-switch (the left should be set to 8); if min- and max-lux are
not used - use: L 0 0 5
6 same as 1 but always dims if dim input is ON
7 same as 2 but always dims if dim input is ON
8 same as 3 but always dims if dim input is ON
9 plc control (dims if I/O 1008 is ON) min and max-lux not used - use: L 0 0 9
10 use two dimming inputs ( 4 & 5 ) min and max-lux used to set % for dimming steps
between 100 and 0 % - like: L 66 33 10
both inputs OFF => no dim ( 100 % )
input 4 ON and input 5 OFF => first dim step ( 66 % in example )
input 4 OFF and input 5 ON => second dim step ( 33 % in example)
both inputs ON => full dim ( 0 % )
11 mixed plc/sensor/remote dimming
plc controls dimming using I/O 1008 and 1009:
1009=0 1008=0 => sensor dimming (same as 1)
1009=0 1008=1 => remote dimming (same as 4)
1009=1 1008=0 => no dim ( 100% )
1009=1 1008=1 => full dim ( 0% )
12 16 step (4 bit) plc dimming
min- and max-lux not used - use: L 0 0 12
plc controls dimming using I/O 1008, 1009, 1018 and 1019:
1008=0 1009=0 1018=0 1019=0 => no dim ( 100% )
1008=1 1009=0 1018=0 1019=0 => ( 93% )
1008=0 1009=0 1018=0 1019=1 => ( 46% )
1008=0 1009=1 1018=1 1019=1 => ( 6% )
1008=1 1009=1 1018=1 1019=1 => full dim ( 0% )
Filter parameter:
F 3 10 filters the lux with a digital filter and time-constant 10 seconds.
This parameter must be set if you are using light sensors for brightness control, oth-
erwise you will get a flickering on the sign.
The first parameter is the filter type:
1 average during set time
2 minimum during set time
3 digital filter with set time-constant

Output control:
O 1 2 1-16 makes output 1 be activated, if input 1 is activated and chains 1-16 don't have any
errors. The first parameter is the output-number, the second output mode followed
by a list of affected chains or min- and max-lux for mode 100..103 - like this:
O 2 100 500 600 activates output 2 when lux-value is <= 500 and deactivates when lux-value > 600
Output modes:
0 group chain-error 1 1-8, 2 9-16, 3 17-24, 4 25-32 (default)
1 chain-error
2 follow input if no error
3 follow I/O 1000+n if no error
4 follow I/O 1000+n if no error and set I/O 1000+n to chain status
100 output turns ON if lux-value is <= min-lux and OFF when > max-lux if both min-lux
and max-lux is zero (O ? 100 0 0) then the output turns ON when the chains are
dimmed
101 output turns ON if lux-value is <= min-lux or dim input is active, turns OFF when
lux-value > max-lux and dim input is inactive if both min-lux and max-lux is zero
(O ? 101 0 0) then the output goes ON when the chains are dimmed
102 output turns ON if lux-value is > max-lux and OFF when <= min-lux if both min-lux
and max-lux is zero (O ? 102 0 0) then the output turns OFF when the chains are
dimmed
103 output turns ON if lux-value is > max-lux and dim input is inactive, turns OFF when
lux-value <= min-lux or dim input is active if both min-lux and max-lux is zero
(O ? 103 0 0) then the output turns OFF when the chains are dimmed
Error status settings:
E 3 2 1-5 10 16-20 activates I/O 903 if the number of chains with errors exceeds 2. The first parameter
is the I/O index (1-8) of the error status bit, the second is the maximum number of
chains with errors allowed followed by a list of checked chains.
Optional ChainBus settings:
B 1 5 makes this chaindriver the master connected to five slaves.
The first parameter is the mode:
0 not active (default)
1 master, second parameter number of slaves (1-8)
2 slave, second parameter slave-id (1-8)

Dip switch mode:
D 1 1.0 2.0 3.0 6.0 makes the right dip switch control the blink time between 1.0 3.0 (0 - min) and 2.0
6.0 (F - max) the first parameter is the mode and the rest are different depending on
mode:
1 blink time (4 times - min/max ON time and min/max OFF time)
2 first timer (2 times - min and max time)
3 minimum current (1 range - 1-99 max part of range min-max in %)
Automatic chain test:
A 20 3600 20 93 tests chains (ON or OFF) every hour (3600) with 20 seconds delay between each
chain by setting the chain dac to 93 and waiting 20 cycles before reading the chain
current. The first parameter is the chain-interval (in seconds) between testing chains,
the second parameter is the wait-time between testing chain 32 and chain 1, the third
parameter is the number of cycles to wait before reading the chain current and the
last parameter is the dac value used.
Sync blink input:
S 201 forces a sync of blink time when input 201 goes high the parameter is a plc
input (default 0 => disabled) used to get a full first cycle when starting for instance a
wigwag
Option bits:
X 3 turns on option bit 3 - current select option using plc bits 1011-1017
X can be followed by several option bits (1..8) to turn on an option:
2 Writable symbol bits option: This option bit makes it possible to send symbol bits from
master plc program to all slaves using symbol bits 233-264. When this option bit is
ON symbol bits 233-264 received with ChainCom are ignored.
3 Current select option: This option makes it possible to switch between two different
currents. If plc bit 1011 is ON, chains using current 1 will instead use current 2. Plcbit
1011 is for current 1 up to plc bit 1017 for current 7.
4 Disable plc blink sync: The program tries to stretch the plc cycle close to blink timer
change by waiting up to 30ms - use this option to disable this and have same function
as of old.
5 AC inputs option: Makes program poll digital inputs every 3-5 milliseconds. Input is
considered to be ON as soon as it is polled on, but must be polled as OFF for 20
milliseconds before it is considered to be OFF.
6 Analogue lux-sensor option: Makes the program use two analogue lux-sensors in-
stead of the fibre for light measurements. The scaling is fixed to 60000 lux at 10V.
7 Analogue plc inputs option: Uses analogue inputs as digital inputs 6 and 7. When
using ChainBus inputs 6 and 7 is copied to 166 and 167 in slave (and master) disa-
bling normal function which is to copy I/O 1006 and 1007 to 166 and 167 in slave (and
master). The inputs turn ON at 4 volt and OFF at 3 volt.

displays system status including all chains with errors:
ChainsOpen - transistor voltage < 2 V and chain current < 10 mA when chain is on supply voltage too
low, to many leds in chain or no chain connected
ChainsShort - transistor voltage > 75 % of supply voltage when chain is OFF, supply voltage too high
or too few leds in chain
ChainsLimitingCurrentTemp - the transistor power loss is too high, temperature above 70 degrees,
max power is 300 mW below 70 degrees, decreasing to 0 mW at 90 degrees; error remains even
when chain is turned OFF; reset when temperature goes below 60 degrees
ChainsLimitingCurrent - the transistor power loss is too high, supply voltage too high or too few leds
in chain, max power is 300 mW below 70 degrees; error remains even when chain is turned OFF
ChainsLowCurrent - the current can't reach the configured current, max current is 25 mA; error remains
even when chain is turned OFF; Minimum Chain transistor voltage is the voltage between chain and
ground for the longest chain that is ON. The voltage includes the voltage drop over the current meas-
urement resistor (27 ohm). When this voltage is equal to the voltage on the resistor; there is nothing
left for the transistor to control the current with, and the chain current will be too low. When the current
is below 10 mA the Chain will report as Open if this voltage falls below 2 V.
Chainbus master displays slave status and chain errors
It's possible to add comments to the configuration using “;”, and the rest of the line will be considered
a comment.
This is especially useful when sending the configuration using Hyperterminal or similar programs.
Calibrating the Light sensor.
The fibre light sensor returns a value of µA/cm². This is converted to a light value in lux by multiplying
the sensor value with the lux factor.
The default value is 1.0 (if the factor has never been set).
The function LUX displays the current lux factor and then displays the light value until CR is pressed.
There are two ways to set the lux factor:
• Enter the factor as a decimal figure(at least one decimal) like this:
LUX 5.0
This sets the factor to 5.0, displays the new factor and displays the light value.
• Enter the lux value to be returned by the light sensor (read from an external lightsensor):
LUX 2000
Then the program calculates the lux factor from the current sensor reading, displays the new
factor and displays the light value.
When using analogue lux-sensors (X 6) the LUX function is disabled as the scaling factor is fixed to
60000 lux at 10V.

5.5 Replacement of a LED chain
If one LED of a chain is broken, all LED’s of the chain will go OFF – the chain has to be replaced:
1. The faulty chain is indicated by a flashing control LED next to the LED chain terminal.
2. Switch off the power supply!
3. If a LED chain cover plate is mounted, take off the plate.
4. Unplug the LED chain. Untangle the chain and remove all condenser lenses including the LED’s of
the affected chain from the front lens.
5. Plug in the condenser lenses of the spare chain into the front optic. If you hear a “click” it’s mounted
correctly.
6. After replacing all light dots, put the cables of the chain into the cable channel (if mounted) and connect
the plug to the LED chain driver again - same output!
7. Switch on the power and test the LED chain before mounting the chain cover plate (if foreseen).
Hint: Sometimes it is not possible to remove a LED chain in one piece. In this case you have to cut the wires
of the faulty chain first to get it out partly or you can even leave it in.
Note: Using SF2100 controller in combination with LED chain module SF4007 the LED error is stored until
the replaced LED chains are tested again. The reported LED error is not cleared by resetting the
controller unit!
To force the SF2100 controller testing all available LED chains a special hyperterminal command is
available. This command is called serviceledtest and activates all LEDs for a short period and performs
a test of all LED chains.
Use this command to reset the reported LED errors after replacement of the LED chains. If this is not
possible you have to wait until the normal “single LED test” is performed for all LEDs. This takes in
general about 3 minutes per LED chain.
5.6 Changing a lightsensor (analogue)
If the unit is defect replace it as follows:
1. Switch off the power of the VMS!
2. Pull off the 3 pin connector.
3. Screw off the two nuts.
4. Extract now the lightsensor straight backwards.
To install a new unit, follow the steps in reversed order.
Attention: the photo diode has to be plugged into the lens without bending it!
Note: Electronics must be transported in ESD packaging.

6 Instructions for storage, installation, commissioning,
inspection and operation of Variable Message Traffic Signs (VMS)
Please follow strictly these instructions concerning intermediate storage, installation,
commissioning, cleaning and maintenance of Variable Message Traffic Signs.
The non-compliance of these instructions may result in damages to the displays which
are not covered by warranty.
Variable Message Traffic Signs made by SWARCO FUTURIT partly consist of elec-
tronic components that require careful and competent handling. The execution of
works is exclusively reserved to skilled and authorized personnel. All relevant national
and international Safety Regulations and Standards must be observed.
6.1 Storage of Units
• Units must be stored on firm and flat ground in standard position.
• During storage all door locks must be tightly locked in order to avoid ingress of dust and moisture.
• SWARCO FUTURIT recommends storage of units in the original packaging; otherwise the unit must be
protected against toppling. Please consider that especially big VMS provide a huge area for wind loads.
Take appropriate precautions (indoor storage, windless site, anchoring, …) to prevent damage of hu-
man and animal.
• Units must not be exposed to environmental conditions other than normal operation. In particular, during
open-air storage period longer than four weeks condensing water inside the VMS must be avoided. A
weatherproofed hall is the most safe way to achieve best conditions for storage of VMS; if such hall is
not available, precautions shall be taken not to expose VMS to temperatures less then +5°C; if this
cannot be guaranteed either, condensing water during storage must be prevented by connecting the
VMS to nominal voltage according to the electrical wiring plan. By switching on main switches, line
safety switches, faulty current circuit breaker, normal operating condition is realized by the activation of
the power supplies, controller, boards and the optional built-in heating and ventilation system.
• In case of outdoor storage exceeding 4 weeks, units with built in heating and ventilation must be con-
nected to electrical supply one week before installation. Heating and ventilation shall be on.
• Units stored outdoors must not be covered with shrink foil.
6.2 Lifting of Units
• When lifting units all relevant safety regulations shall be maintained.
• When setting units down excessive shocks shall be avoided.
• Wrong handling or manipulation not in accordance with the instructions may harm the unit’s integrity
and could result into loss of warranty.
• Any unit manipulation must be documented by photographs and sent to SWARCO FUTURIT if re-
quested.
• During installation, by lifting and swivelling occurs highest mechanical stress during the lifetime of the
Variable Message Sign, by torsion and impacts. This stress can lead to a slight loosening of the mount-
ing of the circuit boards. As a result of which LEDs are no longer positioned exactly to the lenses. In the
course of start-up of the sign, after placing the VMS in its final position, the mounting of the LED circuit
boards must be checked and re-adjusted.

Lifting with a crane:
• Secure all movable parts.
• Remove packaging and transport safety supports.
• Keep doors and all locks securely locked.
• Use marked lifting points only.
• Minimum angle between lifting strap or chain and lifting
point is 60°.
• All lifting points have to be used together.
• Distribute weight equally over all marked lifting points.
Lifting with cross beam support
Lifting with a forklift truck:
• Unit width with more than 3 m: pick-up at gravity centre position, distance between lifting forks minimum
1/3 of unit width.
6.3 Mechanical mounting and adjustment of VMS
• Mounting points are defined in the drawing of the enclosure.
• Units must be fixed at the marked mounting points only. ALL mounting points must be used
accordingly to fix the unit. In case of deviations a written permission must be obtained from
SWARCO FUTURIT before mounting.
• The opening of doors must not be restricted by mounting elements.
• During mounting the doors must be kept closed to avoid ingress of parts, dust and moisture.
• In order to ensure the display’s optimal visibility, the unit must be correctly aligned.
• For the alignment process maybe the radius of curves and topographic inclinations have to be taken
into consideration.
• All openings (e.g. when removing lifting devices or unused cable intakes) must be tightly sealed.
• Stainless steel screws have to be greased before usage to avoid that they are going to be brayed.
• Greased stainless steel screws have to be tightened with following torque:
Thread
Torque
size
M6 6 Nm
M8 15 Nm
M10 30 Nm
M12 50 Nm
M16 120 Nm
M20 240 Nm
• VMS by SWARCO FUTURIT are basically designed for a fixed installation and not for using them in a
mobile application on trailers or comparable. If the sign is going to be used in such an application, it’s
absolutely necessary to pass this information to SWF when requesting an offer and placing an order.

6.3.1 Adjustment of VMS
Variable message traffic signs are optical information displays which are focusing the light to the street in a
certain angle. Thus VMS might have to be adjusted in relation to the location.
6.3.1.1 Vertical inclination
Depending on the slope of the street, VMS must be adjusted accordingly:
Standard 1° inclination! No inclination at downward slope!
Inclination +1° additionally to the uphill slope!

6.3.1.2 Horizontal adjustment
According to the topological area the signs shall be mounted in different ways. Planning must consider topo-
logical conditions – e.g. curve radius, readability distance, but also maximum speed of the cars, type of sign.
VMS shall be adjusted in a way that the driver remains inside the beam width of the VMS during the necessary
reading distance.
reading distance Y: This is the ambient area of the VMS; according to the used optic, installation
height, active display width etc. the driver is outside the beam width of the light
dots; the VMS is not fully readable! This is at the same time the minimum reading
distance.
In case of mounting the VMS beside the street, the distance to the viewing line of
the driver has to be considered.
reading section X: This is the section in which the content of the sign is visible and readable for the
driver; this sectionis addicted to the symbol size and letter height, luminous inten-
sity, contrast, curve radius, the beam with of the sign etc. At larger distances sym-
bols might be visible but not any more legible.
reading distance X+Y: This is the maximum distance to read the content of the sign.

6.4 Electrical connection
• Do not damage any components when leading cables through the cable inlet.
• Seal the cable inlets tightly.
• Reduce over length of cables inside and outside the unit.
• Remove loose parts inside the unit.
• In order to avoid ingress of water, never carry out electrical works at humid or wet conditions.
• When doing the potential equalization, use the M10 screw which is usually located next to the cable
glands. To avoid contact corrosion use only a cable lug which is made out of stainless steel (V4A). First
attach contact disk to the sign, then cable lug, washer and finally lock washer.
Mount the cable lug in a way that the wire is aligned downwards (+/- 30°). Insolate the crimping area
with appropriate material avoiding water to penetrate between cable lug and wire.
• Hint: SWARCO FUTURIT recommends to use an earth leakage circuit breaker in the roadside cabinet
of VMS.
• Incoming cables (voltage and data) have to be separated from internal wiring to avoid induction of over-
voltage and EMC otherwise internals protection devices become effectless.

6.6 Third party components
• It is not allowed to fix third party components (e.g. cameras, sensors) to the unit or feed third party
supply or communication lines through the unit. If such installations cannot be avoided, a written per-
mission must be obtained from SWARCO FUTURIT in advance.
6.7 Commissioning
• Before switching the unit on, the voltage at the terminals and their correct connections (phase, neutral)
must be checked.
• Before putting the unit into operation, its interior must be checked for humidity traces. The unit must not
be taken into operation when humidity traces are visible.
6.8 How to display traffic colours on full colour variable message traffic signs
Full colour Variable Message Traffic Signs from SWARCO FUTURIT are fulfilling all demands of EN 12966
regarding colour class and luminance intensity. Due to the reason that there are a lot of colour mixtures
possible it’s necessary to observe some rules to obtain that traffic colours are displayed in accordance with
the standard.
• Traffic colours defined in the European standard are set at SWARCO FUTURIT ex factory.
• All six defined traffic colours (acc. to EN 12966) are stored within the internal memory of the sign
controller. To display appropriate colours, these settings have to be used.
• When creating Bitmap contents (24 bit colour depth *.bmp + correct Pixel size of the active display
area) it’s important to use correct colour settings to obtain traffic colours.
• To support the general use and to avoid problems with changed colour settings of traffic colours, the
display controller is automatically recalculating the colours into traffic colours.
• Following RGB values are internally used for conversion to traffic colours.
Traffic colour _R_ _G_ _B_
White 255 255 255
Yellow (amber) 255 255 0
Orange 255 128 0
Red 255 0 0
Green 0 255 0
Blue 0 0 255
• For VMS in RGB technology according EN 12966 just these bitmap coordinates are allowed.
• To obtain demands regarding colour class C2 and defined luminance intensity these rules have to be
used. Smallest deviations (e.g. 255/254/0) are resulting into big colour and brightness deviation (es-
pecially at yellow, green and blue). Consequently these deviations are not correlating with require-
ments of EN 12966.
• For example: By using green (0/255/0) the colour which will be displayed is automatically converted
into the correct traffic colour. (bluish green)
So no pure green is displayed, some blue is added automatically to get bluish green.
• Bitmap contents with Antialiasing (smooth edges) are basically possible, but just colours in accord-
ance with the coordinates of the table are converted into traffic colours.
• However, Antialiasing can be used for red without any problems, because there is no colour mixture
used. For colour white it’s necessary to reduce all three settings to the same value (e.g.
128/128/128)
• For all other traffic colours it’s not possible to use Antialiasing, due to the reason that there is no lin-
ear reduction of the values possible and would end to big colour deviations and not matching the

contents (without converting colours into traffic colours) it’s possible to choose between the mode
“traffic” and “commercial” (for more details check FuturitCom2 protocol description – chapter “setPa-
rameter”) via the FUTURITCOM2 protocol.
• In case of the traffic mode the above described process will be activated. Colours are converted into
traffic colours. Bitmap contents with Antialiasing, other than above described exceptions, are not in
accordance with the requirements for colours of variable message traffic sign’s standard EN 12966.
• In case of the commercial mode the conversion of the colours is deactivated. The user is able to use
all available 16 million colours.
• Ex factory the traffic mode is activated. The mode is persistent stored into the memory of the sign
controller. The result is that the last change is stored also after a restart of the system and will not be
set back to the factory setting,
In such a case it’s in the responsibility of the user to activate the traffic mode in combination with a
traffic-content to drive the variable message traffic sign according to the standard EN 12966.
6.9 Inspection
SWARCO FUTURIT assumes a precautionary inspection of the unit once a year in order keep the warranty
of the VMS. If the units are mounted in exposed situation (increased dusty environment, location near by
sea, increased risk of damage.) an inspection every six month might be necessary.

6.11 Cleaning
• Avoid soiling of the unit with paints, coatings, mortar or similar substances.
• The suitability of cleaning agents and solvents must be tested in each case; SWARCO FUTURIT does
not take over any liability for such tests.
• Fine scratches on the powder coating can be repaired with a varnish for powder coatings. A repair-set
is available at the SWARCO FUTURIT After Sales Service.
• Do not use high-pressure cleaners on front panels which carry reflective foils.
• High-pressure cleaners may be used with a maximum working-pressure of 80 bars at a distance of 200
cm. Please note that some parts of the unit are classified as IP X4. It is not allowed to direct the jet of
water directly onto rubber sealing or ventilation openings.
• Cleaning recommendation: If a unit is soiled during transport, storage or setting up, clean it immediately
with cold or hand-hot water. Is the soiling hard to remove, it’s possible to use a neutral or low-alkaline
cleaning agent.
Use only clean water, if necessary with a small amount (1/50) of neutral or low-alkaline cleaning agent
and a smooth, non abrasive cloth or industrial cotton wool for smooth surfaces. Avoid excessive rubbing
or brushing. To remove greasy, oily or sooty substances use aroma-free white spirit or isopropyl alcohol.
Remnants of glues, silicon latex or adhesive tapes can also be removed in this way. The temperature
of cleaning agents shall not exceed 25°C. Do not use steam-jet cleaners. During the cleaning process
the surface of the housings must not exceed a temperature of 25°C. The maximum residence time of
cleaning agents must not exceed 15 minutes and drying of the cleaning agent must be avoided. Rinse
immediately with clean, cold water after every cleaning process.
The cleaning frequency for components exposed to outside atmospherically influences depends on the
nature of the parts and the aggressiveness of the atmospherically conditions. In order to prevent dam-
age to surfaces, the following cleaning intervals should be respected and documented:
Minimum 2-year interval for locations
not exposed to an industrial environment
with a distance of more than 5.000 meters from the sea
not exposed to grit from winter service
Minimum 1-year interval for locations
exposed to an industrial environment
lying close to the sea
exposed to grit from winter service
inside tunnels
Further recognized cleaning recommendations can be found at the following companies:
GRM-RAL GZ 632 („Gütegemeinschaft für die Reinigung von Metallfassaden“, Nürnberg)
Verband der Fenster und Fassadenhersteller, Frankfurt/Main, (Merkblatt VFF-WP.05)
Qualicare: Verband für Qualität von Reinigung und Unterhalt bei Metallfassaden , Zürich.
• Exclusions:
Do not use solvents containing ester, ketone, alcohol, aromates, glycol ether or halogenated hydrocar-
bons or similar.
Do not use scratching or abrasive cleaning agents.
Do not use heavily acid or alkaline cleaning or wetting agents.
Do not use cleaning agents of unknown composition.

ANNEX A: OPE Calculation
To compare the technical performance of different products several properties have to be measured and bal-
anced. Important figures are power consumption, light output, light distribution, readability and legibility,
reliability and durability.
A measure for the power consumption is the LED-current. Test reports, which approve the compliance with
optical requirements, have to contain operating current of the LED; if not, the report cannot be used for ap-
proval, because any light intensity can be achieved by simply increasing the LED-current, which will reduce
the life time of the LED and will increase the degradation of light output dramatically.
Requirements always ask for minimum light intensity, according to the application. By comparing different
products the light output (luminance) according to the data confirmed by the test report has to be used. Lumi-
nance is depending on the used pixel-pitch (resolution of light dots), why this has also to be considered, as
well as the number of light sources of the same colour per element (light dot).
Light distribution according to the required application is approved and confirmed by the test report by meas-
urement of the beam width according to EN 12966.
Readability and legibility is determined by the value of contrast ratio. Test report of a representative test
module has to approve the achieved luminance (contrast) ratio value.
Reliability and durability are very important attributes for variable message traffic signs. Lifetime and stability
of the optical performance is mainly depending on the current load of the LED, the relation between the
operating current and the maximum allowed current. Therefore the maximum current allowed for driving the
LED has to be provided with the data sheet of the LEDs used in the VMS to verify reliability and durability.
According to EN 12966 requirements have to be met for at least 10 years, also optical demands shall still be
achieved after ten years. Therefore degradation and aging effects have to be avoided for at least ten years.
This is only possible if the current load is as low as possible.
Graphic above shows the relation between operating current and degradation of light output, depending on
the operating current. Due to different performance f LED‘s operating current is given as ratio to the maximum
current allowed. Horizontal axis shows the operating hours.

1 The concept of visual speed indication
The visual speed indication and thereby the attempt to influence the driver's speed is quite a
new field in the common road and traffic technology, although the well known traffic lights are
established since decades. Nowadays public authorities start to install luminary speed indication
signs above highways for the same purpose and additionally to manage the traffic flow. Besides
avoiding traffic jams, these systems also shall decrease the drivers speed in order to reduce the
rate of accidents and the heaviness of their consequences.
Our system of a mobile, autonomous and numerical speed indication display fulfils this aim
especially in communal and urban areas, speed limit zones, living areas and in front of schools
and nursery schools.
If we look to the effects of such a speed display, we can state three main effects:
The driver gets the speed of his car publicly displayed and realizes his „over speeding“.
Therefore the most drivers will be set under psychological pressure and reduce their actual
speed.
The inhabitants of living areas with low speed zones can prove the driving speed of passing
vehicles objectively and as far as local source and target traffic is concerned speak with well
known „fast drivers“ personally.
The communal authorities, often quite helpless with complaints of angry citizens about over
speeding, get an appropriate tool to react. With this tool they delegate in a psychological way
the control function to the concerned citizens.
The police are and was never able to observe the mentioned low speed zones and living areas
in a repressive manner effectively and the expenses for repressive supervision there are not
covered by fines for over speeding drivers. By the way, whether repressive supervision of
speed limitations in living areas is politically suitable is another question.
Up to now the only possibilities of local administrations are road reconstructions to lower
drivers speeding. But such steps are quite costly and under the aspect of the economic situa-
tion of the communities, with low funds not longer practicable.
The systems for visual speed indication however make sense in a wide area covering action.
This wide area covering action just can be run by easy installable and transportable units,
working completely independent for an appropriate time.
Since 1994 via traffic controlling has delivered the speed measurement systems viasis with in-
tegrated display. The viasis 3003 is an actual version of this system with low energy
consumption, integrated battery buffered memory for speed and time data, serial data interface
and a couple of different operating modes.
The possibility not only to measure and to display speed data, but also to collect and herewith
to analyze the collected values statistically grants a control of the effectiveness of the viasis
systems in a certain traffic situation.
In common speed data can be collected (with or without ‘publicly’ displayed speed on the
board) and later on processed statistically permitting the system user profound statements
about the car drivers speeding behavior on a certain road. This makes decisions for or against
further measures, like road reconstruction, repressive speed controls and so on, much easier.

USB interface, you can obtain a serial USB-RS232 adapter from us, see annex chapter 10.1 –
list of viasis equipment.
4 System description
The viasis 3003 measures and displays vehicle speeds of one drive lane and direction. The
viasis is an accumulator supplied, mobile measurement system, particularly designed for lowest
power consumption. Measured speeds are shown on a 300 mm high, seven-segment LED
board with 2 ½ digits. The used high brightness LED are mounted behind a rigid “phantom
light” mask to avoid seemingly display of speeds due to sun or vehicle light reflection.
Alternating with the numeric speed display, several warning and speed limit sign symbols with
a circle diameter of 300 mm can be shown. Optionally the viasis 3003 is equipped with two
LED display colors, with the possibility to change the displayed color according the compari-
son result of measured vehicle speed and a set speed threshold.
Measured vehicle speeds are stored in the viasis, marked with time and date of the measure-
ment and can be later transferred by means of a serial communication interface like RS232,
USB or other optional radio data interfaces, like Bluetooth or GSM/GPRS mobile phone. The
viasis can be set to measure data of both driving directions of a two lane road and to store the
data for later evaluation.
Typically the viasis measures periodically every 1.5 seconds and shows the result. In case of a
new vehicle measurement the display is refreshed after 1.5 seconds, otherwise the display is
hold for maximal 3 seconds.
The measuring unit consists of a continuous wave „Doppler Radar“, a permanent sending high
frequency radio wave emitting and receiving unit, whose antenna is not visible through the
front window pane. This measuring unit delivers the received signals by an amplifier and digital
processing electronic to a microprocessor unit that evaluates the signals.
The viasis 3003 is delivered with numerous options, see also chapter 6.3.6, in several variants
like viasis COMPACT, MINI, PLUS, PLUS SMILE, etc. for various different applications.

5 Start-up with the viasis
5.1 Mounting and Fixation
The viasis must be mounted orthogonal to the road and stable in a height of 2 meters till 4
meters below the housing edge, see . First mount the system and finally insert the battery.
Illustration 1: Vertical orientation
Following items must be observed:
Another mounting height or a strong inclination of the housing (exceeding 90° ± 8°) may
influence the distance range of the vehicle detection and the accuracy of the displayed speed
values.
The radar detector in the viasis needs „free sight“ on the measured vehicles. Avoid a mount-
ing behind trees, poles, high parking vehicles and so on.
The system shall not be used in the range of road turns and bends. Otherwise too low meas-
ured speeds can be the result.
For the fixation of the viasis at pole clamps use the delivered M6 slide nuts. Pull two slide nuts
in each C-profile rail at the backside of the viasis housing. With 2 x 2 M6 screws (not deliv-
ered) the pole clamp is fixed at the slide nuts, respectively the profile rails.
We offer a solid and lockable pole fixation kit for the viasis, see annex list of equipment chap-
ter 10.1 and our website www.viatraffic.de.
If there is no possibility to mount to already existing poles or if the system is used only in short
mobile campaigns, we also deliver a mobile tripod, see annex list of equipment, with a tele-
scope pole. If you use a mobile tripod you should be aware that you need to guard the system!

5.2 Horizontal orientation
Direct the system horizontally through turning the system board around the mounting pole.
The ideal orientation to reach a maximum distance range depends on the local circumstances.
Illustration 2: viasis display directed to the road with a measurement angle = 5°
For the first the system should be straightened parallel the roadway and can be turned until a
measurement angle of 5 to the lane (see illustration 2) until the vehicles are detected from
the unit at the maximum distance range.
If leaving traffic reduces the distance range remarkably, the system board can also be turned
away from the roadway up to a measurement angle of 5 (see illustration 3).
Illustration 3: viasis display directed away from the road with a measurement angle = 5°
A measurement angle of more than 5 lead to the display of too small speed values and may
cause measurement errors outside the specified accuracy.
5.2.1 Leaving traffic
The system is adjusted to approaching objects (toward the front side of the board). Leaving
objects are also detected but filtered out.
Practically also leaving traffic can cause a distance range reduction. Because the object with
the highest reflection amplitude, under certain circumstances the leaving traffic can be domi-
nant for a short time and therefore „blinding“ the detector, although this detection is filtered
out and is not displayed.
If necessary the display board can be turned away from the leaving traffic lane within certain
limits to get an undisturbed detection, see also chapter 5.2.

gmbh
5.2.2 Crossing traffic
Diagonal crossing traffic passing the radar beam can lead to a disturbing speed value display.
By following measures you can reduce the detection distance range of the radar:
Decline the viasis housing vertically (see illustration 1) up to 8° towards ground.
Reduce the sensitivity of the radar receiver, see also chapter 6.3.7.
If both measures show no satisfying results there is nothing to do as to get away from the
crossing traffic.
5.3 Viasis MINI text panel
During the mounting the fixed text of the viasis MINI is folded in the visible upright position
by means of a movable flap board, see illustration 5.
If the flap board is open and upright both hinges are
fixed with rotatable hooks in this position, see also red
arrow in illustration 4.
Illustration 5: Open flap board
The fixation hook is hanged into the slot
Illustration 4: Fixation hook
at the hinge and secured by tightening
the knurled nut above.
The closed flap board is attached to the housing
during transport by two hidden magnetic holders.
Attention: Don’t forget to tighten the
knurled nuts before you transport the
viasis MINI. Otherwise they may get
loose and lost together with the hooks.

5.4 Electrical preparation
Illustration 7: viasis control panel
Untighten the knurled nut of the battery attachment,
turn the fixation bolt aside and insert the battery into the box. Secure the battery in its position
with the turn bolt and by tightening the knurled nut, see also illustration 7 and illustration 8.
Warning: Hold the battery always and as long as possible with both hands.
Secure the battery immediately after insertion with the turn bolt. Falling down
batteries can cause severe injuries.
Plug the connector of the battery cable into the
socket of the control panel labelled Akku
12VDC, see also illustration 7. The 5 ampere
system fuse should already be placed into the
fuse holder on the control panel. Press the
On/Off toggle switch (labeled 1/0) in position 1
so that the viasis is turned on.
Illustration 7 shows the viasis control panel in
the open battery box with USB connectors. Only
if optional USB interfaces are equipped the
green function control LED (USB-Link) can be
found, which is lit during the viasis power on
initialization time.
Directly after power on, during initialization the
viasis shows “188” on the numeric LED display
for about 3 seconds. Further 3 seconds the bat-
tery voltage is shown, for example 13.2 repre-
senting a viasis supply voltage of 13.2 Volt.
Hereafter the system is ready for operation and
the display is empty until the first vehicle is de-
Illustration 8: Battery box and control panel
tected.

via
viasis 3003 user manual traffic
controlling
gmbh
Later in cyclic offline measurement mode the green function control LED is lit during the radar
measurement, what means typically all 1,5 seconds for 50 to 100 milliseconds.
The lead acid accumulator batteries are only partly charged after delivery. Before you start a
longer measurement campaign charge the battery to its full capacity. Otherwise the operating
time will be reduced. In order to power the system on, the battery voltage level must be above
11,3 Volt.
Attention: Wait 5 seconds or more to repower the viasis after you powered it
off before. Otherwise malfunctions and error messages of viasis components,
which did not reach the off state completely, can be caused.
Take care not to press or damage the battery wires, when you close the box cover.
The battery box can be protected against unauthorized access with a padlock through the fore-
seen holes in battery box body and cover, see illustration 8.
The Viasis is configured for permanent operation after delivery (see also chapter 6.3) and is
ready for operation.

6.2.2 Using an USB-RS232 serial adapter
Connect the USB-RS232 serial adapter to a free USB port of your computer. Depending on
which Windows operating system you use, the presence of the USB-RS232 adapter is recog-
nized by Windows as soon the adapter is plugged in. A message like “new hardware detected”
is shown and you will be asked to install a driver for the USB device.
For the installation of the USB device driver please refer to the instructions of the USB adapt-
er package. The adapter package in common includes a CD-ROM with the needed device
drivers and installation instructions.
If the USB-RS232 interface adapter has been correctly installed as a serial COM port, you may
check it in the windows “Device manager”. Unfortunately the way to, respectively the place-
ment of the device manager varies with the different Windows operation systems. In the
Windows 7 desktop click “„Start – Control Panel – System and Security – Device Manag-
er”. Under Windows XP/Vista the “Device manager” is found in the “System properties”
register “Hardware”, see illustration 12.
Illustration 12: System properties
Open the „Device manager“ and expand the line
„Ports (COM & LPT). The USB-RS232 adapter
must be listed here below.
Hint: In case you use several different
Illustration 13: Device Manager
USB sockets to connect the adapter
you may have to reinstall the USB driver.
Now connect the USB-RS232 adapter to the viasis with the delivered RS232 cable, connect
the battery and proceed as described in chapter 6.2.1.

6.2.3 USB host interface connection (optional)
If the viasis 3003 is delivered with USB interfaces the USB sockets USB-A (for memory
sticks) and USB-B (PC connection) are placed on the control panel, located in the battery box,
see also illustration 14.
Before you can establish a USB
data connection with your com-
puter you need to install an
USB device driver, see chapters
6.2.3.1, 6.2.3.2 and 6.2.3.3.
The used driver is a Windows
standard interface driver
“usbser.sys” for a so called CDC Illustration 14: Control panel with USB sockets
(Communication Device Class)
device, which also sets up a virtual COM port (a virtual serial interface), which can be used by
terminal programs.
The USB driver installation should preferably done with administrator user rights.
The USB-Link LED is lit continuously as soon you plugged the cable in the viasis USB-B
socket and a USB-A socket of your computer.
For a proper operation be aware of:
- The viasis cannot be supplied by the USB interface, therefore the viasis
must by powered e. g. by a charged 12Volt battery for establishing a
data connection.
- The internal viasis microcontroller has physically only one USB
host/client interface, which can be configured either as a host or client
USB interface, so either a PC connection can be made or else a USB
memory stick shall be plugged in, but both will not work the same
time.
- During power on initialization (USB-Link LED lit) no USB connec-
tion shall exist or shall be established. As soon the viasis completed
initialization and the LED begins to flash shortly make a USB connec-
tion.
- In case the USB connection to your computer is made by means of a
USB hub, the data transmission speed can be reduced remarkably.
- Always close the data connection before you unplug the cable. In
viagraph this is done by closing the main window, e. g. in the terminal
program HyperTerminal exists a connect/disconnect button to sepa-
rate and close the connection. Otherwise the programs may hang up or
do not recognize a reconnected viasis.

6.2.4 USB client interface for USB flash storage sticks (optional)
USB flash drives or memory sticks can be plugged in the USB-A socket of the control panel
located in the battery box, see also illustration 14.
Following points shall be recognized for a trouble free operation:
- As long as a USB memory stick is plugged into the viasis control
panel no other data connection between the viasis and a computer,
particularly no USB host connection shall be established.
- The USB interfaces of the control panel fulfills the USB 2.0 specifi-
cation. According a USB client interface need to deliver maximal 100
mA for „low power“ mass storage devices.
- The USB memory stick shall only be plugged for the time of a data
transfer and be removed afterwards. As long as the USB memory
stick is plugged in the viasis does operate in measurement mode
After connection of a USB memory stick the viasis executes in sequence following tasks:
- If not found in the USB stick root directory a folder “VIASIS” is created
- Download of stored measurement data in a file (*.VTF) in the “VIASIS” folder. Stored
measurement data in the viasis are deleted afterwards.
- If a firmware file1 (*.BIN) is found in the “VIASIS” folder it is loaded and a firmware up-
date is started.
- In case a parameter file (file extension *.PAR) is found in the “VIASIS” folder it is loaded
into the viasis and the viasis is reconfigured.
- If not already created before a new the log file “USBINFO.TXT” is placed in the
“VIASIS” folder. All up- and download actions are logged herein.
A text entry example for writing a measurement data file in “USBINFO.TXT” follows:
Viasis 3003 - Version 4.12, 15SC4321
Date: 15.09.2015, Time: 14:14:46
Write SC_15SC4321_150915_001.VTF ok
Also if the viasis measurement data store is empty a file with the extension *.VTF will be cre-
ated. This file includes the current parameter and the event protocol of the viasis.

For the operation of USB memory sticks at your computer in common no customer
installed device driver is needed, because they can be operated with already installed
Windows standard mass storage device drivers
6.2.4.1 Parameter transfer from and to the viasis using a USB memory stick
The viagraph software allows it to modify viasis settings offline and to store the settings in a
parameter file on a USB stick. When the USB stick is plugged the next time in the viasis the
parameter settings are read and the viasis is reconfigured.
With viagraph created parameter files (file ending *.par) are named with the unique serial num-
ber of the viasis (e. g. 15SC4321.PAR) and are only loaded by the viasis with the same serial
number. So several parameter files can be placed in the “VIASIS” folder of a USB memory
stick for several viasis systems.
The precondition for the modification of the viasis system parameter settings offline is that the
viasis type and version is already known to the viagraph program:
Either you connect the viasis directly to your computer and click on the “Settings“ button in
viagraph, see also chapters 6.2.1, 6.2.3 and 6.2.5, resp. illustration 10 and illustration 11.
Else plug an USB stick into the powered viasis to retrieve a VTF file, see also chapter 6.2.4.
Afterwards plug the USB Sticks into an USB port of your computer and „evaluate“ the VTF
file with the viagraph software.
The actions of first possibility are already described before in the manual. For the second pos-
sibility start viagraph by the viagraph button on your desktop. In the viagraph program
selection, see also illustration 10, choose Read evaluation file.
Plug in the USB stick and
open the VTF file in the
VIASIS folder of the
viasis system, whose set-
ting you want to modify
later, see illustration 31.
The VTF file probably
may contains no measure
data, therefore you are
prompted with a viagraph
error message, which you
can ignore.
Close and reopen
viagraph.

In the viagraph start win-
dow select the menu Tools
and further Parameter set,
see illustration 32. From
the here given list of pa-
rameter files (*.par) select
the viasis with the serial
number, whose settings
you want to modify.
The screen with the viasis
settings is shown then, with Illustration 32: viasis parameter file selection
several tabs depending on
the viasis type, see illustration 33.
Here you can make the needed parameter changes offline, see also chapter 6.3 following.
With the buttons
Save and USB-Stick
you may save the
parameter settings
for later use on the
computer hard disk
drive or the changed
parameters directly
to the USB stick.
Before you click the
USB Stick button,
select the correct

letter.
If you plug-in the
USB stick with the
changed parameters
at your viasis, the
parameter file is au-
tomatically read and
the viasis reconfig-
ured.
Illustration 33: viasis settings
Only if you selected the parameter file of a viasis PLUS, see illustration 32, appears the check
box Matrix in the settings window, see also illustration 33.
Is the option Matrix activated you can save text pages and bitmaps (see also chapters 6.10.1
and 6.10.2), which are stored in files on the hard disk, together with the parameter settings in a
single parameter file on the USB stick for a further transfer to a viasis PLUS. With the drop

6.2.5 Bluetooth modem connection
Check whether you computer is equipped with a Bluetooth radio interface ready for operation.
If not you may obtain e. g. a USB Bluetooth dongle and install the device driver and operating
software delivered by the manufacturer.
Depending on the operating system of your computer and the installed Bluetooth interface,
either internal or external modem, the way to establish a Bluetooth data connection will vary.
Therefore for internal Bluetooth modems please check the online help system of your comput-
er and for external Bluetooth modems solution check the installation and operation manual of
the manufacturer, delivered with the modem.
If standard (generic) Windows Bluetooth interface drivers are used for the Bluetooth modem
operation, the initial configuration of the Bluetooth connection is shown for Windows 7 below:
- Open Devices and Printers by the
Windows Start menu or the Control
Panel. In the Devices and Printers
window, see also illustration 21, click
to Add a device in the menu bar.
- The viasis Bluetooth module is ready
for operation ex factory and reported
e. g. with the device name
VIASIS_15SC9991, where 15SC9991
is the 8 character long viasis serial
number.
- During the connection setup you are Illustration 34: Reported found new device(s)
further asked for a pairing code or pin
number. Enter here the default in the
viasis set four digit pin number 1234.
Illustration 36: Pairing code, pin number
Illustration 35: Bluetooth device added If the Bluetooth connection is established suc-
cessfully the later started viagraph software
can find the viasis, otherwise not.
Page 22 of 85
via
viasis 3003 user manual traffic
controlling
gmbh
If you use other terminal software or make a manual terminal connection with
viagraph you need to know which virtual COM port number was assigned to the
Bluetooth device and set the COM port in the terminal program accordingly. This
COM port number can be either found in the Windows Device manager, see chap-
ters 6.2.2 and 6.2.3.1 or else with a right mouse click to the device, which was added in Devic-
es and Printers, menu item Properties in the Services tab, see also illustration 37 below:
Illustration 37: COM port number of the serial Bluetooth device
The radiation of the Bluetooth antenna and therefore the zone where radio connections are
possible is similar to the radar in front of the display. Directly aside, below and behind the
viasis a connection is only possible if reflectors (buildings, fences or vehicles) are nearby.
Internal Bluetooth modems of laptops, notebooks and mini computers are in
common designed for the connection of peripheral Bluetooth devices like key-
boards, mouse, mobile phones, which are placed close by your computer.
Therefore their radio transmission strength and reception sensitivity is often quite
bad. In such a case turn off the internal modem and invest a few Euro for an external class 2 or
better class 1 USB Bluetooth dongle, with which you can have a much better and stable distant
Bluetooth connection.
If you have already established some Bluetooth data connections to different viasis or more
generally to via devices in the past and these devices are still reachable while you try to con-
nect in viagraph with Connect to device you may experience the fact that viagraph
automatically connects to the first found via device and not to the device you wanted viagraph
to connect to. In this case you have choose the connection and the device manually, please see
chapter 6.2.7.

6.2.6 Data connection by GSM radio modem, Email and SMS transfer
If you like to transfer data or parameter of the viasis by GSM radio link you need
in common to obtain a second GSM radio modem for the communication with your
remote computer1. The radio modem must support CSD2 protocol data communica-
tion. Further on you need two SIM cards of a provider, whose radio network
supports explicitly CSD data transfer with 9600 Baud data transfer speed.
For the use of E-mail data transfer and automatic viasis SMS alarm messages you need SIM
cards and contracts which include GPRS and SMS services. You may ask if the provider offers
contracts with data transfer only (without voice) services for business customers.
Before you obtain the SIM cards ask the provider if he covers the needed radio services
(CSD, GPRS, SMS) at the viasis measurement place(s) himself. Roaming service, the radio
service by a contractor of your radio service provider might be paid with high charges later on.
Regarding the questions „How to connect, install driv-
ers and setup your radio modem at your computer”,
please refer to the information given by the radio mo-
dem manufacturer. Finally a virtual COM port must
have been created in the Windows Device manager,
typical either in the device class COM&LPT or Mo-
dems – Properties – Extended, see also chapters 6.2.2
and 6.2.3.
Before you can connect with viagraph3 or another
minal software, check that the viasis is powered and the
radio modem is switched on by its related time
ule and (if needed) the PIN number of the SIM card is
set in the viasis, refer also to chapters 6.4.2.1 and
6.4.2.2.
In order to establish a connection with viagraph click
the button Connect to device see illustration 10 in the
viagraph start window.
After the modem was found the Modem screen is
shown, see also illustration 38. Enter the dialing num-
ber of the SIM card inserted in the viasis in the field
Number. In the Comment field enter a unique descrip-
tion for the viasis.
Illustration 38: Viagraph radio modem sup-
port
1
Laptop or notebook integrated radio modems or “surf sticks” often offer an integrated modem with a virtual COM port for
various radio link protocols. But in almost all cases they do not provide CSD protocol capability . Therefore check if CSD
explicitly listed in the modem features in the provided manufacturer information.

Viagraph expects a radio modem inserted SIM card with switched off PIN number request. This can be done by inserting
the SIM card in a mobile phone. Please follow the mobile phone manual, how to do it.

6.2.7 Manual selection of the viagraph communication (COM) port
The manual selection of the communication (COM) port might be necessary, in case of:
- multiple connections to different via devices are possible, but with the Connect to device
search only the first found device is automatically connected.
- several modems with virtual COM ports are installed at your computer. Viagraph always
offers only the first found modem, which is the inappropriate one for a GSM connection to the
viasis device.
- several Bluetooth connections were established in the past, each with a COM port number,
some viasis with Bluetooth modem are in reach, but only the first found device is automatically
connected by viagraph.
In this cases or a combination of them, please have a look in the Windows Device manager
(see chapters 6.2.2 and 6.2.3), particularly in the device classes COM&LPT, Bluetooth devic-
es and Modem to find the COM port number of the wished viasis device or modem.
Illustration 40: Viagraph terminal connection
Start viagraph and select Terminal from the Tools menu, see also illustration 32. The initially
empty terminal window appears. In the COM port selection field select the COM port of the
wished viasis device or modem. The data transfer rate must be always 115200 Baud. as shown
in Illustration 40. Now click the Connect button.
As soon you are connected the Disconnect button is shown. Now, you can use the Tools but-
ton, to force viagraph to show the defined extended functions for a recognized viasis or radio
modem, like Read data, Settings or Dial number, see also illustration 11 and illustration 38.

viagraph terminal window.
As information the input
windows of viagraph are
shown at the respective
menu descriptions.
While inputs in the menu Illustration 41: Viagraph settings window
system are made directly to
the viasis, changes to the actual parameters shown in the viagraph input windows are cached in
the program and need to be transferred to the viasis by clicking the Transfer button, otherwise
the changes are discarded.
Hint: To avoid a malfunction of viagraph take care that the viagraph terminal window
shows the viasis main menu before you click to the „Settings“, „Matrix“, etc. button!
The viasis 3003 main menu appears after a click to the „Connect to device“ button in viagraph
automatically. If you use other terminal software, it depends on the used communication inter-
face (RS232, USB, Bluetooth, GSM) whether the main menu appears or not. If the systems
are connected and the main menu is not shown, press the „Shift“ and the „H“ key together, so
the menu will be send.
If you insert one of the selection numbers 1 till 6 in the viasis main menu, displayed in the ter-

The parameter values above for the items number 3, 5 and 7 are default settings ex factory.
The parameters of the sub menus Speed display options and Extensions thresholds constitute
a Parameter set. A Parameter set is valid for the times defined in the Time schedule. Here-
with different display parameters can be set for different weekdays or daytimes in a flexible
way.
The settings for Bidirectional detection, Optimizing display and Radar sensitivity are the
same for all parameter sets and times.
6.3.1 Parameter set
A parameter set is the collection of all display parameters of the submenus Speed display op-
tions and Extensions thresholds and its submenus for the times defined in the submenu Time
Schedule.
Up to 5 complementary parameter sets for different periods can be used for a variable meas-
urement and display behavior. This can be used for example during school hours in order to set
a different display behavior in case of a temporary speed restriction, as to the other times of the
day off school and weekends, for example at 30 km/h, from Monday till Friday, from 7:30 to
13:30 o’clock only.
With the entry 1 in the Settings menu you can change the parameter set shown in the con-
cerned submenu Speed display options and Extensions thresholds :
Settings:
1. Parameter set: 1
2. Time schedule
3. Bidirectional detection: off

The values of the time schedule shown above are the default values for parameter set 1 ex fac-
tory. All weekdays are operation weekdays and the daily operation time is the whole day in
case daily start and stop time are set to equal values. So parameter set 1 is valid the whole
week for each day. For the other parameter sets is by default no operation day defined, there-
fore they are deactivated.
In time periods not covered by the
time schedules, no measurements
and self evident no display opera-
tion will happen. The viasis is in a
low power energy saving mode,
without active radar and the viasis
will be “awaked” only at the next
valid time schedule time entry.
If the operation time of two or more
parameter sets overlap, always the
parameters of the lowest number
parameter set get valid.
In viagraph the time schedules of all
parameter sets are concentrated in
the input windows „Scheduling“,
which gets visible by activation of Illustration 43: Time schedule
the menus Tools – Parameter sets –

6.3.2.1 Time schedule – Led display
This option permits a hidden measurement and storage of vehicle speeds without a visible out-
put on the numeric LED display for the vehicle driver. This function can be also realized if the
minimal and the maximal displayed speed parameters are set to equal values, see also 6.3.4.2.

6.3.2.2 Time schedule – Operation weekdays
In the submenu Operation weekdays the days are chosen, at which measurements shall be done
and depending to other settings of the parameter set the speed shall be shown on the numeric
LED speed display or other actions defined in the Extensions thresholds shall be made.
The menu Time schedule (chapter 6.3.2) lists the current operation weekdays, e. g. Su, Mo,
Tu, We, Th, Fr, Sa of the parameter set.
After selecting 2 in the menu Time schedule you are asked to select the day you want to
change in the submenu Weekday :
Weekday:
1. Sunday
2. Monday
3. Tuesday
4. Wednesday
5. Thursday
6. Friday
7. Saturday

The chosen day of the week is added to the list of operation days in the Time schedule menu,
if it was not listed before, respectively removed from the list, if it was listed.
6.3.2.3 Time schedule – Daily start and daily stop time
The daily start and stop time determine the daily time of the measurement and display opera-
tion at the chosen operation weekdays (chapter 6.3.2.2).
If the Daily start time and the Daily stop time is set to the same time values, these times are
ignored by the system and the task is performed at the whole selected operation weekdays.
You have to insert the time values in the format hh:mm. Valid are time values between 00:00
and 23:59.
Examples:
1. You intend to measure in front of a school only during school visiting times. Only at
schooldays from Monday till Friday, in the time from 07:30 till 13:30 the viasis shall measure
and display the vehicle driver’s speed.
Following settings must be made in parameter set 1 in the time schedule menu:
- Set LED display to „on“.
- Change the operation weekdays to „Mo,Tu,We,Th,Fr“.
- Set the daily start time to „07:30“ and the daily stop time to „13:30“

- If set, the operation weekdays of the other parameter sets must be discarded.
2. You want to measure at a road construction site by night from 19:00 till 06:00 display the
vehicle driver’s speed. But you want to measure the whole day around the clock.
Following settings must be made in parameter set 1 in the time schedule menu:
- Set LED display to „on“.
- Change the operation weekdays to „ Su,Mo,Tu,We,Th,Fr,Sa “.
- Set the daily start time to „19:00“ and the daily stop time to „06:00“
Additionally following settings need to be done in parameter set 2 in the time schedule menu:
- Set LED display to „off“.
- Change the operation weekdays to „ Su,Mo,Tu,We,Th,Fr,Sa “.
- Set the daily start time to „6:00“and the daily stop time to „19:00“
In the second example with the time schedule of parameter set 1 a measurement with numeric
speed display is made from 19:00 till 6:00 o’clock each night. During the daytime from 06:00
till 19:00 o’clock the time schedule of parameter set 2 measures without displaying the speed
on the numeric LED display.
6.3.3 Bidirectional detection
The viasis radar detects also the data of leaving vehicles, whose data by default are not stored
in memory and whose speed in principle are not shown on the numeric LED display. The fea-
ture Bidirectional detection allows an additional memorization of data of leaving vehicles for
later data evaluation purposes.
If you enter 3 in the „Settings” menu you are prompted to change the Bidirectional detection
state:
Bidirectional detection
1. off
2. on
Your choice 1...2?
Is the Bidirectional detection set to “on” you are given in the Online measurement menu the
speed data of vehicles of both driving directions by the serial data connection(s), see chapter
6.6.
Hint: The bidirectional detection delivers only at low traffic density, respectively low
vehicle meeting rate, complete and meaningful data for the leaving vehicle traffic,
whose vehicles cannot be detected as long they are in the radar shadow of approach-
ing vehicles.
The setting for the Bidirectional detection is valid for all parameter sets. In viagraph the fea-
ture Both directions can be activated in the Tools menu of the Settings window.

6.3.4 Menu Speed display options
The menu Speed display options is shown if you choose 4 in the Settings menu:
Speed display options:
1. Decimal places: off
2. Minimal speed displayed: 5 km/h
3. Maximal speed displayed: 199 km/h
4. Threshold blinking LED: 200 km/h
5. Threshold Led mixed color: 200 km/h
6. Threshold LED color change: 200 km/h
7. Back
Your choice 1...7?
The parameter values shown above are the default values ex factory.
For viasis LED displays with only one LED color the options Threshold LED mixed color
and Threshold LED color change do not exist. The Threshold LED mixed color is only
shown for viasis with two appropriate LED colors. The options given in menu “Speed display
options”, with exception of the Decimal places, need to be defined for each activated parame-
ter set.
6.3.4.1 Decimal places
For applications where low vehicle speeds shall be measured exactly, e. g. for drive in weigh-
bridges, the display of a decimal digit until 19,9 km/h (or mph) can be activated by entering 1
in the Speed display options menu and further activating the decimal:
Decimal places
1. off
2. on
Your choice 1...2?
If vehicle speeds above or equal 20 km/h are measured the speed values are displayed on the
numeric LED display as whole numbers again. If the speed decimal is activated the speed data
output in the Online measurement (chapter 6.6) mode, is also given with a decimal digit.
The setting for decimal places is a general setting equal for all parameter sets.
6.3.4.2 Minimal - and maximal speed displayed
The „Minimal speed displayed“ is the lowest measured speed value published on the numeric
LED speed display
In the “Settings” menu you are prompted after the selection 4:
Minimal speed displayed = _
End the numbers input with <return >. The new value is shown in the menu immediately.
The values for minimum speed can be set in the range between 5 and 199 km/h. Only values
lower or equal the adjusted maximum speed will be accepted by the system.
Page 33 of 85
via
viasis 3003 user manual traffic
controlling
gmbh
You may raise the minimal speed factory setting of 5 km/h to e.g. 15 km/h to suppress slow
movements of vehicles, pedestrians or wind moved branches of trees, which may also initiate
measurements on short distance.
The „Maximal speed displayed“ is the highest measured speed value shown on the numeric
LED speed display. With the 2 ½ - digit LED display you may set the value between adjusted
minimal speed and a maximum of 199 km/h.
The reduction of the Maximal speed displayed to values just above a local speed limit (maybe
plus 20%) avoid the driver testing of the maximal shown speed or „tachometer checks“.
The setting of the Maximal speed displayed parameter is analogue the setting of the Minimal
speed displayed. The setting can be changed by the selection 5 in the Settings menu.
Both settings have no influence on the speed data storage and the output of serial data. All
speeds measured between 5 km/h and 199 km/h are stored, respectively transferred to a con-
nected computer terminal.
Hint: By setting minimal and maximal speed displayed to equal values e. g. to 5
km/h, the vehicle speed data are memorized, resp. transferred to a connected termi-
nal, without an output on the numeric LED display for the vehicle drivers, see also
chapter 6.3.2.1.
6.3.4.3 Threshold blinking LED
Depending on the excess of the „Threshold blinking LED“ by the measured vehicle speed, the
numeric speed display is alternated for 0.25 seconds on and 0.25 seconds off time. In a display
update cycle with 1.5 seconds length the numeric speed „blinks“ up 3 times in short sequence.
This function can be used to reduce the power consumption of the system, with the effect of
nearly doubling the system operating time without battery recharge. Hereby the threshold value
is set to the minimum speed.
If the threshold is set to a local speed limit, this function can be used to point over speeding
drivers to their misbehavior, with the effect of a blinking (warning) display when the speed
limit is exceeded.
The threshold is set like the other thresholds in the range from 5 km/h till 200 km/h (blinking
deactivated).
6.3.4.4 Threshold LED mixed color (Option)
If the viasis is equipped with two LED colors, which can be shown at the same time and emit
seemingly a third color, the parameter “Threshold LED mixed color” is shown. Practically if
the viasis has e. g. green and red LED the result of displaying both colors is the mixture color
yellow, which is displayed if a measured vehicle speed exceeds the related, set threshold.
The speed threshold parameter is set similar to the speed threshold LED color change, see also
chapter 6.3.4.5.
For example if the viasis is equipped with yellow and red emitting LED the color sequence of
the display yellow – orange – red would be chosen with rising measured speed values, the
mixed LED color threshold (orange display) would be set to 31 km/h and the threshold LED
color change to 41 km/h.
Is the LED mixed color threshold set to a higher value than the LED color change threshold it
will have no visible effect on the display.

gmbh
6.3.4.5 Threshold LED color change
The viasis is supplied in several versions, with a numeric LED display with one or two LED
colors. Only the two color versions have a menu item for changing the LED display color de-
pendent of the measured vehicle speed. The color of the numeric speed display changes, for
example from yellow to red color, if a detected vehicle moves faster than the set “Threshold
LED color change” speed limit.
Also this option can be used to indicate the vehicle drivers that they drive too fast and their
vehicle speed exceeds the local speed limit.
The threshold is set like the other thresholds in the range from 5 km/h till 200 km/h (numeric
speed display color change deactivated).
6.3.5 Optimizing display
The viasis is equipped with a sensor for the environment brightness. With the measured values
the needed brightness of the display LEDs for a good visibility is calculated and controlled.
With the menu Optimizing display the LED display brightness can be influenced if needed:
Optimizing display
1. Operating time
2. Balanced
3. Visibility
Your choice 1...3?
If the option Operating time is chosen the display appears darker and reaches maximal 50% of
the possible brightness adjusted ex factory. If you choose Visibility the LED display appears to
be brighter in compare to the Balanced setting. Here the viasis reaches the adjusted maximal
brightness earlier and needs up to 50% more battery energy with the consequence of having a
reduced operating time with battery supply.
6.3.6 Menu extensions thresholds
The viasis can be equipped with several optional extensions, which can be divided in two
groups.
One group are the LED display extensions in form of LED warning symbols, which are inte-
grated in the numeric LED speed display field, which are shown alternating to the numeric
speed values, see chapter 6.3.6.1.
The other group consists of controlled switches as relays or power MOSFET transistors
switches or switched optical output units, like LED warning lamps, LED matrices with text or
symbols, which are activated additionally to the numeric LED speed display at the same time,
see also chapter 6.3.6.2 foll.
All switches or output units are activated by the excess of a set speed threshold by
the measured vehicle speed. More precisely an “on and an off speed threshold can
be set for each symbol, switch or peripheral device.

6.3.6.1 Thresholds LED circle symbols
The viasis is delivered with integrated signs, red
LED circle symbols with white speed limit (di-
ameter 300 mm). The related speed thresholds
for the activation and deactivation are placed in
the Settings - Thresholds Extensions menu.
The display of speed limit or warning symbols
alternates with the numeric speed display. The
display is changed each ¾ second (750 ms).
If you select LED symbols 30, 50, 60 in the
Thresholds Extensions menu the following
submenu for the related speed thresholds is
shown:
Led symbols 30,50,60:
1. Symbol 30 on: 31 km/h

Depending on the warning light features (uni-/bi- or tricolor) the items of the menu will vary.
The LED of the warning light are switched on or off synchronously to the numeric speed dis-
play in case the related on/off threshold is exceeded by the measured speed value. The speed
threshold for the activation/deactivation of the LED color(s) of the warning light can be set
between 5 km/h and 200 km/h (threshold deactivated).
6.3.6.4 Relays and power MOSFET transistors (optional)
The viasis 3003 can be ordered with up to 7 galvanic isolated low voltage relays, appropriate
for switching up to 230 V mains voltage or alternatively with up to 7 high current MOSFET
power transistor to switch 12VDC loads, technical data see chapters 10.3.5.
The connection is made either in an external waterproof (IP65) connection box with number
labeled screw clamps or the viasis is delivered a connection cable (and scheme) ex factory.
For three installed relays the menu for their related speed thresholds in the menu Extensions
Thresholds – Relays will look similar to the following menu:
Relays
1. Relay 1 on: 31 km/h
2. Relay 1 off: 51 km/h
3. Relay 2 on: 51 km/h
4. Relay 2 off: 61 km/h
5. Relay 3 on: 61 km/h

The relays or MOSFET transistors are switched synchronous to the numeric speed display in
case the related speed thresholds are exceeded by the measured vehicle speed. In the menu
example above relays 1 is switched for measured speeds from 31 km/h till 50 km/h.
6.3.6.5 LED display pages or additional LED fixed text (viasis PLUS or PLUS SMILE)
The submenu Display pages is placed in the menu Extensions Thresholds in case the viasis is
equipped with additional LED fixed text or symbols (variant viasis PLUS SMILE) or a LED
full matrix (variant viasis PLUS) below the numeric speed display for the display of additional
text or symbols.
For an additional board with three fixed texts the related menu may look as follows:
Display pages:
1. THANK YOU on: 5 km/h
2. THANK YOU off: 31 km/h
3. SLOW DOWN on: 31 km/h
4. SLOW DOWN off: 41 km/h

For LED fixed texts (PLUS SMILE) the displayed text or a symbol name will be used to label
the menu items, for LED full matrices with variable texts and symbols the menu items are la-
beled only as numbered LED page (1, 2, ... etc.).
For each text or symbol can be defined an „On“ and „Off“ threshold between 5 km/h and 200
km/h (threshold deactivated).
The text or the symbol is switched synchronous to the numeric speed display if the related
threshold is exceeded by the measured speed value. Moreover the switched outputs (relays, ...,
display pages) are also activated outside the range of the set minimal and maximal speed dis-
played thresholds for the numeric speed display, so that for example with the viasis PLUS
additional text like “Slow down” can be also shown without having a numeric speed displayed.
For viasis PLUS SMILE with LED fixed text the activation range of two or more
texts shall not overlap. The simultaneous display of two fixed texts will cause an
unreadable result.
The viasis PLUS shows in case of the simultaneous activation of two or more LED pages, the
pages in an alternating sequence each for the time of measurement cycle (typ. 1,5 s). This fea-
ture can be used e. g. in bi-lingual regions to show additional text in two languages in an
alternating manner. For example Led page 1 shows the text „THANK YOU“, Led Page 2
shows the welsh text „DIOLCH YN FAWR“, the „On“ threshold for both pages is set to 5
km/h and the „Off“ threshold to 30 km/h – as result for the time of detection of a 28 km/h driv-
ing vehicle the texts „THANK YOU“ and „DIOLCH YN FAWR“ are shown alternating each
for 1,5 seconds.

The Bluetooth address, is a unique and user unchangeable hardware address provided by the
Bluetooth modem manufacturer.
The device name is the chosen name for the viasis Bluetooth devices shown if you search for
connectable devices under Windows on your computer.
The Trusted device list are the Bluetooth hardware addresses of computers to which the viasis
was once successfully connected.
The Trusted device list might have to be cleared :
- if more than 20 Bluetooth addresses are already shown in the list. Herewith the list is full

new Bluetooth addresses.
- if the pin number or the device name of a trusted device was changed
Hint: Access to the menu Bluetooth modem is either only possible via USB or a
RS232 serial cable connection. If you try to make an illegal access e.g. by Bluetooth
or GSM connection the hint Access impossible! will be displayed on a connected
terminal.
6.4.1.1 Bluetooth device name
The so called local device name can be changed and is set by default to „VIASIS-15SC9991“,
wherein “15SC9991” is the unique viasis serial number. After you selected 1. Device name in
the Bluetooth menu you are asked to enter the new device name:
Device name = MyBluetooth001
The character string is to be ended by pressing the <Return> key. The device name may consist
of 1 till 40 characters. Avoid special characters, apostrophes and similar, because they are in
common interpreted by connection software and this often in a different way.
6.4.1.2 Pin number
If you choose 2 for the Pin number in the Bluetooth modem menu you are asked to enter a
new pin number:
Pin number=8241
The pin number itself can be changed, the length of the pin number can be up to 8 digits. All
numbers from 1 till 99999999 are valid pin numbers. If a not correct pin number is send by a
connecting computer the connection is refused by the viasis, therefore the number protects the
viasis from unwished access.

The setting of the GSM Operation weekdays and the Daily start/stop time is done similar as
the settings made in the time schedule for measurement and LED display, please refer to the
chapters 6.3.2.2 and 6.3.2.3.
The menu items Operation weekdays and Daily start/stop time define only the
days and the time span during which the viasis GSM/GPRS modem remains
powered and can be called by a dial up GSM connection. The delivery of Email
and SMS messages and data works independently from the herewith defined time
schedule and are also send outside the here defined days and times.
To reduce the available times, where the viasis radio modem can be called, means to extend the
operating time of battery supplied viasis systems remarkably. This due to the fact that the basic
power consumption while measuring without active LED display is four times higher if the
GSM/GPRS modem is powered. A 24 hour availability of a radio connection to the viasis is in
common not needed, because reconfigurations are necessary quite seldom, most often during
workdays and only in the common working times (08:00 till 18:00). For an individual time
setting and a possible further reduction of the power consumption you can use the described
menu items.
During an active GSM connection the modem is not powered off. The modem is switched off
as soon as the connection is closed hereafter.

The selection Memory full sends a mail with the measurement data as a file attachment if more
than 95% of the data flash storage of the viasis is full.
Further you can choose the time intervals Daily, Weekly or Monthly. If you select them addi-
tional menu options for the delivery time and possibly the date appear in the menu. For this
options always a mail is send also if no measurements were stored in the selected time interval.
If you select Daily mail delivery you need to define the daily delivery time:
4. Email delivery: Daily
5. Time: 03:00
The time value is set in the format “hh:mm”, with time values between 00:00 and 23:59.
For the mail delivery interval Weekly additionally the day of the week, where the mails shall be
send must be set:
4. Email delivery: Weekly
5. Time: 03:00
6. Weekday: Wednesday
If you enter “6” for the Weekday selection a sub menu is shown, which lists all weekdays for
your choice.
If the mail delivery is set to Monthly the day of the month need to be given instead:
4. Email delivery: Monthly
5. Time: 03:00
6. Day of month: 1
Legal month values are 1 to 28 only in order to avoid delivery gaps in the short months of the
year, e. g. in February.
Further hints:
Use delivery (night) times with low traffic density and low GPRS data transfer
volumes. During the time the mail needs to be delivered no vehicle data can be
measured and stored. The minimal delivery time for e. g. an 4 MB data long mail
is ~12 minutes. The GPRS upload bandwidth must be shared with other devices
uploading data to a radio base station.

gmbh
Whether an E-Mail or SMS must be delivered is checked once per minute by the viasis. If a
delivery cannot be done due to an active Bluetooth, USB or GSM data connection, the transfer
its started within a minute after the closure of the connection. Is a viasis powered off during
the scheduled time of delivery, the E-mail will not be sent after the next power on anymore.
An E-mail delivery is valued valid as soon as the mail server (SMTP-server) acknowledges
the data reception and the server connection is closed regularly. In this case the stored and
transferred measurement data are erased in the flash memory automatically. Otherwise the E-
mail delivery is repeated within a minute after the failure and until the transfer is successful.
Be aware if you use the daily interval a lot of small data files is created, which must be
merged later on to be able to create e. g. a week long evaluation.
6.4.2.2 SIM card PIN code
The input of the PIN1 code or the request of its set status can only be done by a serial RS232
cable connection. Access by the GSM, Bluetooth or USB data connections is refused with the
message “No access possible”.
Select the GSM/E-mail menu item “2. Pin number” to enter the 4 digit PIN code delivered
from the service provider together with the SIM card, for example:
Pin number=1234 <Return>
2
In case the SIM card is already inserted in the push/pull SIM card holder located at the con-
trol panel backside in the battery box you should receive following answer:
+CPIN: READY
OK
In case of an error or problem you get one of the messages listed in the table below:
+ CME ERROR: SIM not inserted SIM card not in the SIM card holder, not
readable or defective
+ CME ERROR: incorrect password Entered PIN code is wrong
ERROR / ERROR SIM PIN PIN code wrong or already inserted
+CPIN: SIM PIN PIN code required
+CPIN: SIM PUK3 PIN code setting failed 3 times, SIM card is
locked. You can unlock the SIM card exter-
nally only, e. g. by inserting the SIM card in
a mobile phone and insertion of the 8 digit
long PUK code 4.
If you enter <Return> only at the PIN code prompt the status of the PIN setting
is delivered without a setting and one of the status messages above are output.
Repeated insertion of the already set correct PIN code is illegal.
1
PIN – „Personal Identification Number“ - 4 digit long numeric pass code
2
SIM – “Subscriber Identity Module” – Component for radio network user identification
3
PUK – „Personal Unlock Code” – 8 digit long unlock code to be found in SIM card accompanying information of your
GSM/GPRS service provider.
4
Guidance for the procedure is in common documented in the manual of your mobile phone
Page 45 of 85

gmbh
In case the PIN code request of the SIM card was already switched off or you change later
to a SIM card with switched off PIN request you need to delete an earlier entered and stored
PIN code by insertion of PIN number = 0 <Return>.
For the protection against misuse and theft the inserted PIN code cannot be requested
Attention: Never change the PIN code arbitrarily. The PIN code is
send from the viasis to the radio modem after each modem power on
automatically. After 3 failing attempts the SIM card is locked and the
PUK code is requested further on.
In case the inserted PIN code is rejected check your provider infor-
mation first before you retry it again.
6.4.2.3 GPRS configuration
If you select “3. Configure GPRS” in the GSM/Email menu you will receive the current GPRS
configuration. The following example shows the configuration ex factory:
APN: not set
USER: not set
PASS: not set
ROAMING: off
Change (y/n)?
In case you answer the question “Change(y/n)?” with “y” for yes, the APN (access point net-
work), the related USER username and PASS pass code will be requested sequentially by the
viasis. Valid entries are up to 31 alphanumeric characters, but without question mark, colon
and double point. The text string must be ended with <Return>. Entering <Return> only will
skip the request and the setting remains unchanged.
Thereafter you can allow or deny roaming connections, what means connections made instead
of your service provider by another provider, which will bill the connections separately to your
provider. This is in common accompanied by much higher connection charges.
You may configure GPRS access by all viasis serial interfaces (RS232, GSM, Bluetooth and
USB). But only by using the RS232 connection the configuration is immediately tested and the
protocol is send to a connected terminal:
Configure ...
AT+CGATT=0
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.t-mobile"
AT+QICSGP=1,"internet.t-mobile","tm","tm"
AT+CGATT=1
AT+QIMODE=1
AT+QIREGAPP
AT+QIACT
AT+QILOCIP
+IP: 100.76.160.156
GPRS ok
In case of a problem or an error while establishing the GPRS connection the sequence above
ends with „Error GPRS“. If you configure by other interfaces as RS232 connection a direct

test cannot be done and for a possibly occurred error you need to check the viasis protocol
(see chapter 6.5.1) to find errors of the GPRS connection establishment like “Error
GSM/GPRS”, “Error GPRS timeout”, “Error GPRS communication”....
The following table lists the GPRS access data of some European provider companies (without

tions.
6.4.2.4 Configuring the SMTP-Server (Mail server)
For the configuration of the mail server enter “4” in the GSM/Email menu and you will receive
the actual settings for the E-mail delivery to the SMTP1-Server:
SMTP-SERVER: smtp.viaxmail.de
SMTP-PORT: 25
EHOST: viaxmail.de
EUSER:
[email protected]
EPASS: ****
MAILFROM:
[email protected]
Change (y/n)?
The shown settings are the default settings ex factory and are valid data if you intend to use
our mail server for the E-mail delivery. The viasis connects the SMTP server only for the for-
1
SMTP – simple mail transfer protocol
Page 47 of 85
via
viasis 3003 user manual traffic
controlling
gmbh
warding transport of the viasis E-mail to the final destination mail server of the recipient E-mail
account(s), which you have to enter in “5. Configure Email” (see next chapter) of the
GSM/Email menu.
Note: The use of our SMTP-server takes place on own danger and under exclusion of
any liability on the part of the via traffic controlling GmbH.
If you answer “y” to the question “Change (y/n)?” you will be prompted for each SMTP-
server setup entry. For valid inputs in the text fields see the insertion of APN, USER and
PASS in the previous chapter.
The input fields in detail:
SMTP-Server – URL1 name of a mail server which is ready to receive E-mails delivered by the
viasis. The mail server only forwards (relays) emails to the recipient(s). Alternatively to the
URL name the IP address (e. g. 192.86.102.245) of a SMTP server can also be inserted.
SMTP-Port – Up to 5 digit long port number (1...65535), at which the mail server listens to
mail delivery attempts. Typically mail servers listen at port 25, but this may differ for single
SMTP servers.
EHOST – Host name of the E-mail sender
EUSER – Senders user name of its E-mail account at the mail server. In common the E-mail
sender owns a user mail account at the providers mail server. Nowadays rarely exist also open
mail (relay) server forwarding each mail they get from whoever, with no authorized login
needed or allowed. If you use such an open relay server delete user name EUSER and pass-
word EPASS.
EPASS – Password of the above described user E-mail account. For the authentication of the
mail sender needed password for the login as user at the mail server. For open relay server the
password shall be deleted, see above. In order to avoid misuse by unauthorized third persons
the set EPASS password is output as a “******” string only.
MAILFROM – E-mail address of the mail sender
A configuration change of the SMTP-server access data can be done by all serial interface con-
nections (RS232, GSM, Bluetooth or USB) of the viasis. But only if you are connected by
RS232 directly the access to the SMTP-Server and if he is ready to receive E-mails from the
viasis is tested and a protocol send to a connected terminal (example):

QUIT
221 2.0.0 OK
SMTP-Server ok
If the connection between viasis and SMTP-server could be established and the server declared
ready to receive E-mails from the viasis you will finally see the message “SMTP-Server ok”
otherwise “Error SMTP-Server”.
If you enter <Return> only, the text entry is skipped and the text field con-
tent remains unchanged.
To delete the content of a text field to the state “not set” enter <Blank> fol-
lowed by <Return>.
Be aware that mail servers have often limits concerning the maximal length of E-mails. Most
mail servers limits are above 10 Megabyte (= limit of our providers mail server) but in some
known cases also below. A viasis with 8 MB flash storage installed is capable of producing 12
MB long E-mails in case the storage is full. The reason is the 30% increase in data volume due
to the needed base64 coding of the binary measurement file attachment. Ask the mail server
provider about existing limits before you start to send E-mails.
In case you need to contact our technical support, please provide the protocol of the failed
SMTP-server configuration, which is essential to analyze the problem.
6.4.2.5 E-mail configuration
With the GSM/Email menu item “Configure Email” you can define the recipient(s) email ad-
dress and whether E-mail alarm messages are send or not. First the actual configuration is send
(example):
MAILTO:
[email protected]
MAILCOPY: not set
Email alarm: on
Change (y/n)?
Differing from the example no E-mail address is set by default and the E-mail alarm is switched
off. To change the setting enter “y” to the “Change(y/n)?” prompt. Valid input for the sequen-
tially asked text fields MAILTO and MAILCOPY are maximal 31 alphanumeric character long
E-mail addresses. Excluded characters are question mark, colon and double point. Further is
valid things said about the text field input of the previous two chapters.
MAILTO for the recipient of the E-mail and MAILCOPY for the recipient of an Email copy
shall contain only a single E-mail address, no lists are allowed.
With activated E-mail alarm the viasis will send E-mails for the events of “Measurement stor-
age > 95% full”, “Battery voltage < 11,5V” and for system errors. The system error emails
include up to the last 8 viasis protocol entries, see also chapter 6.5.1. The E-mails are send
latest after the minute of the occurrence of the event or failure.
Page 49 of 85

viasis 3003 user manual traffic
controlling
gmbh
If you respond ‘y’ to both questions “Change(y/n)?” and “Send email(y/n)?”, a test E-mail is
send and if you a connected locally by RS232 (only), you will see the delivery protocol of the
send E-mail:
Send Email...

354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF>
250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 8DB438049D
QUIT
221 2.0.0 Bye
EMAIL ok
In case the E-mail was send correctly and the mail server accepted the E-mail for forwarding,
you get the final “Email ok” message and otherwise “Error Email”. Moreover the E-mail re-
cipient should receive a status E-mail with just the line “E-mail delivery set!”.
By means of the “Configure E-mail” menu item you may also send currently stored measure-
ment data immediately if you respond ‘n’ to the question “Change(y/n)?” but ‘y’ to “Send
email(y/n)?”.
If you are connected by RS232 the E-mail is send immediately, else if you are connected by
GSM, USB or Bluetooth interface, the mail is send as soon as the active connection will be
closed.
If you need to contact our technical support, please provide the protocol of the
failed test E-mail delivery, what is important to analyze a problem.
6.4.2.6 Configure SMS
The menu item “6. Configure SMS” in the GSM/Email menu is used to enter the needed
phone numbers for the SMS1 delivery and to activate the delivery of SMS event and error mes-
sages:
SMS SERVICE CENTER2: +491710760000
SMS phone number: 016312345678
SMS alarm: off
Change (y/n)?
Legal insertions for the SMS service center number and the phone number of the SMS recipi-
ent are up to 16 digits long. The number of the service center is always entered with plus sign
1
SMS – short message service for text messages consisting of maximal 160 characters

headed international country dialing code. The phone number of the SMS recipient needs to be
entered without country code. Moreover the hints to legal text fields contents given in the
previous chapters 6.4.2.3 till 6.4.2.5 shall be observed.
If the “SMS alarm” is active, short messages for the events “Battery voltage < 11,5V”,
“Memory > 95% full” and “System error” are send within one minute after occurrence.
If you change the SMS configuration and respond “y” to the “Send SMS (y/n)?” question, you
should receive a test SMS with the content “SMS delivery set!”. If your computer is connected
by RS232 cable locally, the protocol of the SMS delivery is shown in the terminal window:
Send SMS...
AT+CSCA="+491710760000"
AT+CMGF=1
AT+CSMP=17,167,0,241
AT+CNMI=2,1,0,0,0
AT+CMGS="016312345678"
SMS ok
If the SMS delivery was successful the protocol is ended with “SMS ok” otherwise with “Er-
ror SMS”. Similar to the delivery of E-mails the delivery of SMS is delayed if you are
connected by GSM, Bluetooth or USB interface until this active connection is closed.
If you face problems with E-mail or SMS configuration or delivery and contact
our technical support, please provide the connection protocol as text or snapshot
attached to a send E-mail. The connection protocol is essential for a failure analy-
sis.
6.4.3 GPS Module (optional)
In case the viasis 3003 is equipped with a GSM/GPRS modem an additional GPS module for
the determination of the position of the viasis can be build in. The position data are determined
regularly and they are transferred as a position list to viagraph. The last position is also send in
the text of the viasis emails:
Information:
Viasis 3003 - Version 4.16
Serial number: 15SC9991
Active parameter set: 1
Interface options: Bluetooth, USB, GSM/Email, GPS
GPS: 20.09.15, 09:45:00, 51°03.5615',N, 007°00.9070',E
Date: 20.09.2015, Sunday
Time: 11:15:33
Number of values = 24274, Memory full: 6 % Battery voltage: 13,17 V
If you open a viasis measurement data file (*.vtf) with viagraph or you make a direct connec-
tion to a viasis with GPS module and click the Tools menu in the viagraph menu bar of the
Settings window, see illustration 33, the menu item GPS coordinates is selectable.
If your computer is connected to the Internet and after a click to the Tools menu item GPS
coordinates viagraph will open your standard web browser with the Google Maps web site and
sends the viasis GPS coordinates.
The web browser shows then the map with the last viasis position, see illustration 47:
Page 51 of 85
via
viasis 3003 user manual traffic
controlling
gmbh
Illustration 47: GPS coordinates of the viasis position in Google maps
In a direct connection to the viasis the last, most current GPS position is displayed. From an
open vtf measurement data file the first GPS position of the chosen evaluation time period is
shown.
If you enter 3 in the Radio modem menu in the viagraph terminal you will receive the menu for
the GPS module:
GPS menu:
1. Position list
2. Formatted data output
3. Raw data (NMEA-183)
4. Position fix time: 24h
5. Back
Your choice 1...5?
Due to the high energy consumption of the GPS module the position determination is not done
permanently. Instead the position is determined after the viasis power on and further continu-
ously repeated after the time set in the Position fix time. The fixation of the position, may just
need 30 seconds but also up an hour at unfavorable mounting positions, where the viasis is
placed in the satellites signal shadow behind large buildings, walls, trees or other obstacles.
After the position data are determined the GPS module is immediately shut down.
During the GPS data output, see chapters 6.4.3.2 and 6.4.2.3, the measurement of vehicles is
stopped, but not during the set regular position fixes.
6.4.3.1 GPS position list
After insertion of 1 in the GPS menu you will get first the number of stored GPS positions, for
example:
Number of GPS positions = 5
Send data (y/n)?

29.09.15, 23:40:00, 51°03.5599',N, 007°00.9082',E
Delete data (y/n)?
Up to 25 GPS positions can be memorized. Because the oldest position in the list is automati-
cally overwritten by the newest position it is in principle not necessary to clear the list ever.
Separated by colons the viasis system date (DD.MM.YY) and time (hh:mm:ss), the latitude in
degree and minutes with 4 decimal digits, N/S for northern/southern latitude, the longitude in
degree and minutes with 4 decimal digits and finally E/W for eastern/western longitude of the
fixed position is shown in a line.
To make the correlation between viasis measurement data and GPS coordinates easy, the viasis
system date and time and not the satellite time (UTC1) is stored in the GPS position list.
6.4.3.2 Formatted GPS data output
After entering 2 for Formatted data output in the GPS menu, you will get following hint first:
End with <CTRL-Z>
What means you can stop the formatted output of GPS coordinate data by pressing the
<CTRL2> and the ‘z’ key simultaneously.
After the repeating headline the result of the GPS position determination follows once per se-
cond:

The first number is number of found satellites. As soon the first satellite signal is received by
the GPS menu the UTC satellite time, here 07:30:02 (AM) appears.

As soon 3 to 4 satellites signals could be found appears the output of position data – the lati-
tude in degree and minutes with 4 minute decimals, the N/S latitude information and the
analogous data for the longitude.
The last number, the HDOP1 value is a measure for the horizontal, two dimensional variation
of the measured GPS data. GPS position data with a HDOP value greater than 10 are not pre-
cise and not usable.
With the GPS data output you may check if a sufficient number of satellites re-
spectively the GPS position is found at a viasis mounting place within a
reasonable time. In tunnels or in between high buildings the determination of the
GPS position might be impossible. In such a case switch the GPS position deter-
mination off, see chapter 6.4.3.4, in order to avoid a permanent searching GPS module with
the consequence of a reduced operation time of a viasis with battery supply.
6.4.3.3 GPS raw data (NMEA-183 protocol)
The GPS raw data output delivers position data coded according the nautical standard NMEA2
developed for the communication between navigation system of ships. These ASCII block data
send once per second are a bit confusing, but include numerous information, amongst other
things e. g. to the satellites, whose data were used for the calculation of the position:

$GPGLL,5103.5574,N,00700.9062,E,073114.000,A,A*57
In the Internet and the literature a lot of publications describe the contents of the NMEA-183
data blocks, therefore we resign to do it here.
Similar to the formatted data output, see chapter 6.4.3.2, the output of the GPS raw data can
be stopped by simultaneous pressing of the <CTRL> and ‘z’ key.
6.4.3.4 GPS position fix time
A few minutes after the viasis power on the determination of the GPS position is done. The
Position fix time is the time period after which the determination is regularly repeated.
After insertion 4 in the GPS menu, following prompt appears:
Position fix time =
You may enter values between 1 and 255 hours for the position determination interval. The
default value is 24 hours. If you enter 0 the determination of the GPS position is deactivated.
If no valid GPS position can be determined within 60 minutes, the position search will be can-
celled and the GPS module will be switched off until the next viasis power on in order to avoid
a fast unwished battery discharge. This might be the case when operating the viasis within
buildings, tunnels or behind high buildings.

viasis device. Serial number, software and hardware release should be always at your hands in
case you contact our technical support.
Active parameter set shows the number of the active parameter set of the measurement and
display operation, at the time the menu is called. If at this time no parameter set is valid the
number 0 (null) is given.
The item comments shows typically information like measurement location or other given user
information, see also chapter 6.5.2. The comment line is missing if not set.
In case that radio modem interfaces like Bluetooth, GSM/Email or other optional serial inter-
faces as USB are installed and detected during the power on initialization of the viasis they are
listed in the last line of the information header.
6.5.1 Protocol
The viasis system includes a ring buffer for a protocol of event and error messages. If the ring
buffer is full the new messages overwrite the oldest messages. An explicit deletion of old mes-
sages is for a proper function of the protocol therefore not necessary.
If the protocol is selected by the entry 1 in the menu Information and time the number of
stored messages is displayed and you are prompted, whether the protocol shall be send or not:
Number of log entries = 25
Send data (y/n)?
If you insert „y“ for yes, the list of protocol messages is send (example):

<Continue with Return>
Each protocol entry is followed by date and time of occurrence.
After the output of the protocol you are prompted, whether the protocol shall be deleted or
not:
Delete data (y/n)?
As already mentioned you may erase the protocol, for an actual, continuous operation of the
log is this not necessary.
The size of the protocol message buffer depends on the size of the installed flash memory and
is for 2/4/8 MB storage 191/191/255 protocol entries.
6.5.2 Comment – text field
In the comment text field a text string with a length of 80 characters can be stored. In most
cases will this be sufficient to store information about the exact measurement location with
postal code, city, street and number and the measured lane direction.
The data of the comment text field are transferred in the header of the viasis measurement data
file (VTF file) and will be shown in the viagraph software in the comment field of evaluation
charts and spread sheets.
Allowed characters are alphanumeric characters, like letters, digits and punctuation marks, but
without question mark ‚?’ and colon ‚:’, because both characters are used in the viasis menu
control.
To delete the comment content enter <Blank> followed by < Return>.
6.5.3 System date and time
The date is to be entered with long year format after the choice 3 in the menu Information
and time. That means dates with year century digits from 01.01.2011 till 31.12.2099 are legal.
The viasis checks all date values within this range for correctness. Together with the date value
the actual day of the week must be set. The correct operation of the parameter set time sched-
ules (chapter 6.3.2) require a correct setting of the day of the week.
The system time can be set with the selection 4 in the menu Information and time to time
values between 00:00:00 and 23:59:59 o’clock.
Incorrect inputs as wrong separator characters, time or date values are rejected by a repetition
of the input prompt.

gmbh
A call of the menu items Date and Time is refused by the viasis as long as measurement data
are stored. This to avoid inconsistent measurement sequences, which may cause later problems
during the data evaluation. In case you receive the message „Access impossible!“ if you try to
change system date or time then download and store the measurement data first. Erase the data
and hereafter the change of time and date will be possible.
The real time clock of the viasis never stops and works continuously with the internal lithium
buffer battery if the lead-gel main battery is removed. The operating time of the lithium battery
is minimum 7.5 years. As more often the viasis is in operation, supplied from the main battery
as longer lasts the lithium buffer battery.
6.5.4 Daylight saving time
By pressing the key 5 for the Daylight saving time in the menu Information and time you can
define its use. In the European Community the daylight saving time is used uniquely from the
last Sunday in March till the last Sunday in October. The changes occur uniquely in all member
states at 01:00 UTC (universal time) time.
In the displayed sub menu, please select the correct time zone for your country:
Daylight saving time:
1. off
2. UTC+0
3. UTC+1
4. UTC+2
Your choice 1...4?
For the United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal please choose “UTC+0”, for Spain, France, Ger-
many, Poland “UTC+1” and for Greece and Finland “UTC+2”. For countries in time zone
“UTC+1” (MEZ) the clock will be altered from 02:00 to 03:00 local time in March and from
03:00 to 02:00 local time in October.
The selection 1 in the menu will switch the daylight saving time (Summer Time) off.
6.6 Online measurement
The transfer of currently measured speed data over a serial data connection (cable RS232,
USB or by radio Bluetooth and GSM modem) is done if you select the Online measurement
in the viasis main menu.
After the hint <Quit with return> sends the viasis vehicle speed data synchronous to the
measure cycle all 1.5 seconds as long as a vehicle passes the radar beam towards the viasis.
If the option Bidirectional Detection in the Settings menu is activated, see also chapter 6.3.3,
additionally the speed data of vehicles passing the radar beam away from the speed display are
send headed by a minus sign ‘-‘.
The speed data are send as ASCII numbers, with variable width, what means one till three dig-
its, followed by the control characters carriage return (hex 0x0A) and line feed (hex 0x0D),
what means one speed number per line.
So far the numeric display was not deactivated by the parameter LED display: off, see chapter
6.3.2.1, the speed measurements are also still shown on the numeric LED display.

6.7 Data memory
The viasis measurement data store is organized as a ring storage, so in case the memory is full
the oldest stored data are overwritten by the newest data. Herewith is guaranteed that the
viasis still keeps the most actual data in case of a data overflow, respectively a too sporadic
measurement data download and deletion.
The viasis is either delivered with 2, 4 or 8 megabyte non volatile flash memory. The herein
stored data have a retention of 20 years minimum according the manufacturer and the memory
cells can be rewritten 100000 times (write/erase cycles), what means a total of 100000 meas-
urements and parameter changes can be done, before statistically a memory failure should
occur.
The measured speed data stored as data blocks with 10 byte length in the memory. Therefore
the storage capacity (minus some bytes for parameter and log protocol) is depending on the
storage size of 2, 4 or 8 MB finally 212160, 425125 or 842952 measurement data blocks. This
is equivalent at a radar range of 120 meter and an average vehicle speed of 50 km/h about
36833, 73806 or 146345 vehicles.
The measurement data store should be deleted after a data download in order to keep the
amount of read data and the data transfer times small.
6.7.1 Read measurement data
For the download of stored measurement data of the
viasis you can use the program viagraph delivered on
CDROM, see chapter 6.1.3 or the ViaApp for
Android Smartphones, see chapter 6.1.1.
Illustration 48
In order to start the data download with viagraph the
data connection to the viasis must have been established successfully, see also illustration 11.
Click on the button „Read data“ and the data transfer progress appears, but maybe just for a
glimpse depending on the number of data, see illustration 48.
Next the dialogue to save the
data in a file appears, see il-
lustration 49.
You may change or extend
the proposed file name. In
order to keep a good over-
view over numerous data files
you may e. g. add the meas-
urement location to serial
number and download date
already given in the filename.
With a click on the “Save”
button store the data to your
computer’s hard disk drive.
Illustration 49: Save data file

controlling
gmbh
Select whether you want to delete the measurement data in
the viasis or not, see also illustration 50.
Also in case the viasis measurement data storage is empty a
file with the file name extension *.VTF (“via traffic format) is
created. The file includes the protocol with event and error
messages, the current parameter setting of the system and
eventually GPS position data. Illustration 50
6.7.2 Checking stored measurement data
A check how much and which measurement data are stored in the viasis you can make by en-
tering 1 for “Transmit stored data” in the main menu, see also illustration 11.
If no values are stored the viasis returns immediately back to the main menu, otherwise it re-
ports the number of stored speed values:
Number of values = 21233
It follows the question:
Send data (y/n)?
If you enter y the measurement data are send to the terminal, always 25 lines before you are
prompted to continue with <return>:
25;16.12.11;16:52:10
-32;16.12.11;16:52:12
44;16.12.11;16:52:33
38;16.12.11;16:52:35 ...
<Continue with return>
Per line one speed value optional headed by a minus sign indicating leaving vehicle detection,
with date and time, and separated by semicolons is send. If you press any key other as <return>
the output is ended.
After the data output or if you entered n for Send Data (y/n)? following message appears:
Delete data (y/n)?
If you enter j for yes in the terminal all data are deleted, if N for no is given the current meas-
urement is continued. In case the ring data storage is full the oldest data are overwritten by the
actual data.

6.8 Test functions
The test functions menu is shown if you enter 3 in the main menu, see also illustration 11 .
Test functions:
1. LED display
2. Flash memory
3. Real time clock
4. Main battery
5. Simulation
6. Light sensor
7. Back
Your choice 1...7?
The test LED-display shows first „19.9“ on the numeric LED display in the LED base color,
then if equipped in the second LED color and if defined in the last optional mixed LED color
with rising brightness in 1%, 2%, 4%, 8%, 16%, 32%, 64% and 100% of the maximal bright-
ness each time for 1,5 seconds. The current value of the LED brightness is also transferred via
data connection to a terminal.
If the LED mixed color is defined „124“ is displayed in varying color balances, afterwards
„124“ is shown in blinking mode in the installed LED colors.
For the following LED display up- and down count test the start and end count value is taken
from the set minimal- and maximal speed displayed parameters defined in parameter set 1,
see chapter 6.3.4.2. Each count value is shown ¾ seconds on the numeric LED speed display.
Further the thresholds for blinking LED display, LED color change and LED mixed color, as
well as for the integrated warning symbols defined in parameter set 1 are recognized for the
equivalent display. Optional installed extensions see chapter 6.3.6, are activated during the up-
and down count test depending if their on/off threshold is exceeded by the count value, or not.
The Flash memory test indicates the installed memory size first:
4 MB Flash installed
The flash memory test destructs stored measurement data and the event protocol, therefore
follows the question:
All data will be deleted
Continue (y/n)?
If you perform the test the proper function of all memory cells is checked by erasing and re-
writing the cell contents:
Erase Page: 4096 ok
Write Page: 4096 ok
The flash memory cells (bits) are organized in so called pages (256, 512 or 1024 bytes of 8
bits). In case of an error the test stops at the erroneous page and the error is reported. Else the
proper memory function is confirmed with ok after the last page was tested.
The test of the Real time clock includes beside the output of date and time a compare test be-
tween a microcontroller and a real time clock time, generated from their crystal oscillator
frequencies. Is the compare time difference smaller than 50 ppm (parts per million), equivalent
Page 60 of 85
via
viasis 3003 user manual traffic
controlling
gmbh
to an error of less than about 30 seconds per week, the message „RTC ok!“ is send, otherwise
the error is reported in ppm units.
The Main battery test allows the measurement of the lead-gel accumulator voltage and estima-
tion about its charge condition. The measurement is made in contrary to the battery test during
power on initialization without load, that means without active LED display of „188“ and can
be initiated therefore also remotely by a GSM modem. The result is given with 0,1 Volt resolu-
tion between 10,7 and 13,8 Volt (17 Ah accumulator discharge and full charge voltage levels).
The test Simulation is useful in order to check the numeric LED speed display but also for a
functional test of installed system extensions, as additional text displays, switches like opto-
couplers, relays or warn lights at a simulated vehicle, without the need to install and measure
on a road site with vehicle traffic. Further the made parameter settings defined in the parameter
sets, resp. their effects on the behavior of the numeric LED display can be simply tested.
After the test is called you are asked to enter a test speed and the number of the parameter set,
whose parameters shall be recognized for the simulation:
Test speed=51
Parameter set=1
<Quit with return>
The test speed value is compared with the speed threshold parameters defined in the parameter
set, resp. the threshold parameters of the Settings menu and the submenus Thresholds Exten-
sions and Speed display options, for the numeric LED display, the integrated LED circle
symbols, optional extensions and they are activated accordingly.
Only if the test speed in the range between set minimal and maximal speed displayed, see chap-
ter 6.3.4.2 the test speed is shown on the numeric LED speed display. By pressing the
<return> key the LED display and all system extensions are reset and deactivated.
The environment Light sensor, which measures the brightness of the environment, delivers for
a functional check a numerical result:
<Quit with Return>
Light sensor: 955
The result drops in bright sun light down to zero. In dusk, dawn and darkness the given results
are high and tend up to the maximal value 1023. In case the sensor value does not change de-
spite illumination e. g. with a torch or by dark covering, it is defective. The position of the light
sensor in the LED display board is approximately in the middle, right aside the hundred digit.
6.9 Data evaluation
The evaluation of measured speed data is done with the delivered software viagraph. The in-
stallation of the evaluation program viagraph is already described in chapter 6.1.3.
A detailed description of the evaluations you will find in the online help of the viagraph pro-
gram in the menu Help – User Manual1.

6.10 Viasis PLUS display
The add-on display board of the viasis PLUS is in general a two line LED full matrix with own
separate microcontroller with the „Viamatrix“ firmware and a flash memory for the display
text, bitmap graphics and display parameters.
The following description shows how configure
the viasis PLUS by using the viagraph input
window, which is reached by a click on the Ma-
trix button, see illustration 11.
The viasis PLUS display can also be completely
configured by using any terminal software and
the Viamatrix menu system, which is called by
entering <ESC> in the viasis main menu:
Viamatrix menu
1. Text messages
2. User character bitmaps
3. Test functions
4. Parameter
5. Information
6. Back
Select 1 .. 6
Illustration 51: Viasis PLUS
From the Viamatrix menu you get back to the viasis menu if you enter ‚6’ for Back.
Attention: Before you close a communication connection and if you used the
Viamatrix menu before - return always to the viasis menu. Otherwise the
Viamatrix program will wait for further menu insertions and will not show
any matrix message until you returned to the viasis menu.
The Viamatrix program has an input menu timeout of 30 seconds until it returns automatically
back to the next upper menu level or resp. to the viasis menu, what makes the “forgot to re-
turn” problem less grave. But depending on the Viamatrix menu level where closed the
connection it still may need several minutes until matrix messages are given again.
The Viamatrix software Test functions and the Information menu are not supported by
viagraph and can be reached therefore only by the menu system.
As the viasis parameter settings the matrix display pages, bitmaps and parameters can be set
offline if you click on the menu Extra – Matrix – viasis PLUS in the viagraph start window,
see illustration 32. Together with the viasis parameter settings a file can be created (see chapter
6.2.4.1) and stored on an USB flash stick for a later upload in the viasis.
The speed thresholds for the activation of the matrix display pages are part of the viasis param-
eter sets, see also chapter 6.3.6.5.

6.10.1 Viasis PLUS matrix editor – display pages
After a mouse click to the viasis PLUS Matrix button in the viagraph connection window
(illustration 11) the matrix editor appears and in case the viasis is directly connected with the
current settings:
Illustration 52: Matrix editor main window
The left part of the window is used to edit the LED display pages, each consists of two text
lines. Which page is currently enabled for editing is selected with the check boxes in the middle
column showing the current line contents, see illustration 52.
The two white input lines in the upper left corner of the window are used to enter the needed
display text or symbols. Legal are all printable 7 bit ASCII characters, what means letters, dig-
its and most punctuation marks, except quotation marks (“), which are used to label bitmaps
and placeholders in the text.
Below the lines in the group field Line 1 scroll and Line 2 scroll determine the buttons Left,
Off and Right, if the line text is displayed static or if the text is scrolled through the matrix line
to the right or to the left.
In the group field Color you can define for a two color viasis PLUS matrix, which LED color
is shown and if the text is shown permanently or in a flashing mode.
The black back grounded output fields in the middle column of the windows show how the
text lines will be later displayed on the viasis PLUS LED matrix.
The entered text will be displayed centered in the matrix display. If you need a left-
or right bound display add spaces to the right or left of the text.
Before you close the matrix editor, respectively if you modified all display pages as you wanted
send them to the viasis with the Transfer button otherwise all changes are lost.

6.10.2 Viasis PLUS matrix editor – bitmaps
Beside text the LED matrix can also show so called bitmap graphic. In the right column of the
matrix editor window up to 31 bitmap graphic characters can be defined:
Illustration 53: bitmap column at right side of the matrix editor
As bitmaps also country specific special characters, as Umlauts, apostrophic characters, etc.,
can be defined. By a click on the number button left of the bitmap the character or the graphic
is placed in the active line, respectively in its text at the current cursor position, see also illus-
tration 53, Bitmap 17.
In the page line the bitmap is placed by its bitmap number, delimited by apostrophes (e. g.
’17’), therefore the use of apostrophes in the text is not allowed.
In order to edit or create new bitmaps double click with the mouse the bitmap picture behind
the number button and the bitmap editor will appear.
6.10.3 Bitmap editor
A pixel (LED) is activated / deac-
tivated with a left/right mouse click
in the bitmap editor. With the but-
ton Delete all pixel are cleared.
Before you start editing the bitmap
set the width of your bitmap, resp.

umns with Width button. The max-
imal width of the bitmap is the ma-
trix column width, which can be

6.10.4 Matrix editor menu Tools
In the matrix editor menu Tools – Text you will find the menu items Load and Save. With
Save you can store edited display pages on your computer hard disk in a text file (*.txt), with
Load you can load already saved display page text files.
Illustration 55: Matrix editor tools menu
If you click one of the Text menu items the Windows standard dialogues for “file save as”,
resp. “file open” will appear. Besides the text also edited bitmaps can be stored from or loaded
into the matrix editor by the menus Tools – Bitmap – Load and Save.
Predefined placeholder like date1, time in short format (hh:mm) or long format (hh:mm:ss) can
be inserted like bitmaps in the lines of the display pages, by a mouse click to the wished line
position and hereafter by a click to the menu Tools – Placeholder with the selection of Time1,
Time2, Date or Placeholder. Within the display page lines the placeholders are shown as
apostrophe delimited numbers, which start at ‘127’ (short time format), similar to the bitmaps
(‘1’ – ‘31’). The value or content of placeholders are determined or calculated just before they
are displayed.
Placeholders for time and date can be used for example together with a permanent shown text
page and a 230V net supplied viasis, see also chapter 6.11. Placeholders are further used in
special software which displays calculated money or point penalties depending on the measured
over speeding.
6.10.5 Permanent text page
The viasis PLUS offers the possibility to define a Permanent shown page, that means a dis-
play page shown if no other page is activated due to vehicle detection above the set speed
thresholds.
Be aware: The energy consumption of a permanent shown LED text in compare to the
short time activated, switched text due to vehicle detections, is very high and therefore
only appropriate for 230V mains supplied viasis PLUS. For viasis PLUS with 12V ac-
cumulator is this no option due to the strong reduction of operating time.
For the configuration of a permanent text page proceed as follows:
- In the Viamatrix menu Parameter – Number of text pages, see menu chapter 6.10, rise the
number from 4 to 5.
- In the Viamatrix menu Parameter – Permanent text page enter page number 5. Permanent
text page 0 means deactivated.
- Return to the viasis main menu

The time and date clock of the Viamatrix, whose values appear in the matrix lines, are loaded from the viasis
real time clock (RTC) at power on. So changes at the viasis time and date settings, see chapter 6.5.3 get valid
on the matrix after the next power on.

If you click now the Matrix button in the viagraph connection window again the new 5. Dis-
play page gets visible if you scroll down with the scrollbar of the middle display column.
Together with the already set placeholders for date and time the permanent 5th text page looks
like in the matrix editor as follows:
Illustration 56: Matrix editor with date and time placeholder in permanent display page
6.11 Select switch option
For the selection of the display parameters the viasis can be optionally delivered with a rotary
turn switch. The turn switch is located in the accumulator box on the control unit board; please
see following illustration 57 below.
Illustration 57: Select switch parameter sets
Page 66 of 85
via
viasis 3003 user manual traffic
controlling
gmbh
If the select switch is in position of the clock symbol the viasis works in normal mode. This
means the display parameters of the parameter sets 1 to 5 are activated by the time settings of
their weekly calendar.
In case the turn switch is in position 1 to 5 the display parameters of the selected parameter set
(see also chapter 6.3.1) are permanently active.
If the viasis is used at various, changing measurement locations with differing local speed lim-
its, the switch offers the possibility to change quickly the display parameters to appropriate
values of an another parameter set.
7 Technical and physical properties
7.1 Distance range
The detection distance range of all microwave detectors depends to a large extend to reflection
properties of the measured objects and interference properties of the near surrounding.
In common is valid:
As bigger, planer and orthogonal to the microwave beam axis the reflection surface is,
as longer is the distance range.
As less absorbing and scattering the reflection surface, as longer is the distance range.
As more other objects are in measurement beam, as shorter is the distance range (dif-
fraction scattering and foliage losses, shadow losses and so on).
Practically following factors have a reducing effect to the distance range:
High up to the edge of the driveway leading buildings, trees, poles, parked cars and
containers, which hamper the „free sight“ of the detector and/or lead to strong scatter-
ing losses.
Influence through weather, rain and snow lead to absorption losses of the radar
„Blinding of the detector“ through other moving objects as tree branches, persons,
resp. a reduction of the detection range by a too far in the leaving traffic directed radar
beam, see also chapter 5.2.
The above mentioned negative influences have practically a much smaller meaning than it may
seem now, but it makes clear that the reason for a too small distance range is only in rare cases
a deficient microwave detector.
In the free field the radar unit has a typical distance range of more than 120 m for genuine pas-
senger cars. Each viasis is tested before delivery regarding a sufficient distance range. For
trucks the distance range is about 50% higher due to the larger reflection front surface, for
motorcycles it is reduced to 50% and less.
The distance from where the numeric LED display can be read due to the chosen digit size is
also higher than 120 meter.
The highest distance range has a detector mounted in a height of 2 up to 3 meter to the hous-
ing bottom side. This offset from the ground results from the practically necessary small
inclination of the microwave antenna inside the display housing.

7.2 Measurement angle
The angle between detector beam axis and the movement axis of the detected vehicles has de-
cisive influence on the measured speed. Microwave detectors and all on the physical „Doppler“
principle based measurement systems (some laser, most infrared and ultrasonic) do not meas-
ure the absolute speed of a vehicle. They measure the relative speed or exactly the angular
speed vector component of a vehicle moving towards the radar beam axis.
This is expressed by following formula:
vmeasure = vabsolute x cos with : measuring angle
The ideal measurement angle is 0°, this means vmeasure = vabsolute and the movement axis and the
radar beam axis are identical in this case.
In practice the system board can only be mounted laterally, besides the driveway. But you
don’t get a measurement error outside the specified accuracy, if you are aware the limits of the
measurement angle (see chapter 5.2).
Please notice the following:
A too large measurement angle can only have a too small speed value as result!
Up to a measurement angle of 4° (equal to which direction) the relative speed meas-
ured by the detector and the absolute speed are the same through the rounding of
the not displayed digits.
7.3 Accuracy
The accuracy of the speed value is:
2% and 1 digit, for the whole measurement range
Herewith the accuracy is better than specified for repressive velocity measurement systems in
the German „Eichordnung“ of the „Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt“ ( 3% for v > 100
km/h and 3 km/h for v < 100 km/h).
Despite this fact, this system is not used in Germany for repressive measurements, because it is
not equipped with a electronic calibration circuitry, what is claimed by the „Eichordnung“.
Also in future we won’t design the system in this way, because the pedagogical intention of
this system for visual speed indication would be mislead.
7.4 Display field and visibility
The display field consists of the 300 mm high LED digits and the 190 mm high digits of the
integrated warning symbols. The chosen letter sizes guarantee readability above 100 Meter.
The angle of readability of the LED digits is with 15° sufficiently high to be seen by the vehicle
drivers with full brightness also in bright sunlight. However for spectators looking from aside
the LED display just seem to glow depending on the viewing angle and may even disappear in
bright sunlight (similar to the fiber optic signs on highways). In common the visibility decreases
for LED with rising brightness of the environment a little bit.
A „phantom light mask“ is placed in front of the LED, which suppress a seemingly glowing of
the LED to a large extent when they reflect the sun light.

To avoid blinding effects of the vehicle drivers, especially during night-time or covered sky, the
system is equipped with an environment light sensor and a LED brightness control with a reso-
lution of 0,5% of the maximal brightness.
7.5 Display frequency
The update frequency of numeric LED display is identical with the measurement frequency of
the radar detector. As long a moving object is detected its speed is updated all 1,5 seconds on
the numeric LED display. The last measured speed value is hold for about 3 seconds on the
LED display.
The display cycle of 1,5 s has emerged as ideal in comprehensive tests. The driver perceives
the display frequency after interviews not as too high and therewith not too flurry. In contra-
diction, the driver sees the displayed speed from a quite far distance, realizes that he is over
speeding and slows down. On the display he (and the spectator) gets as a direct feedback the
reduced speed displayed, let’s say as reward and the driver passes the display with the correct
speed. Characteristic is that the driver has enough time to develop a feeling for the right speed.
Hereby is the high distance range the decisive advantage. At a shorter distance range, the driv-
er gets his over speeding displayed, but there is no time for a „dialogue“ between driver and
display. The driver has no time to react and the feedback - the reward is missing as well.
7.6 Power supply and operating time
7.6.1 Accumulator version
For the power supply a 12 Volt lead gel battery pack with a capacity of 17 Ah is installed in a
small plastic box on the backside of the housing.
The viasis has a discharge protection for the accumulator to prevent irreversible chemical de-
composition of the battery electrolyte due to long time discharge below 10,7 Volt. The
protection circuit disconnects the viasis from the battery when the voltage drops below 10,7
Volt and (re-)connects it when the battery voltage is 11,3 Volt minimum.
The operating time of the viasis relies essentially on the number of displayed speed values, the
environment brightness and self evidently on the battery capacity. In bright sunlight the power
consumption due to maximum LED brightness is maximal 11 Watt when displaying “188” on
the numeric LED display. By night with minimum LED brightness level the consumption is less
than 1 Watt for displaying “188”.
So the operating time of the viasis 3003 is at a display rate (relation between display on and off
time) of 25%, with calculated 16 day and 8 night hours, for the 17 Ah battery about two
weeks.
7.6.2 Mains supply 115/230 Volt AC version
Attention: For viasis delivered as 115/230 Volt AC version do not remove or
disconnected the buffer battery. The buffer battery delivers peak currents,
filters mains distortions and ensures that the voltage level of the AC/DC
power supply does not rise to illegal over voltage levels and blows the system fuses.
Additionally the buffer battery allows the operation of the viasis at timely powered light poles
and ensures an operation for several days if the mains line is switched off.
In rare cases with the viasis connected to a heavily distorted mains supply it might be necessary
to install a harmonic filter to ensure proper system operation.

gmbh
Attention: Work at 115V/230V installations must be generally carried out by
electro-technically trained personnel or specialized companies, according to
the relevant technical regulations
7.6.3 Viasis with photovoltaic solar support
Attention: Never operate the Viasis with solar panel and disconnected main
battery. Always connect the battery first before the solar panel.
The solar charge module needs a buffer battery for proper operation and the clamp
voltage of the solar module may rise in bright sun light to a destructive level for the electronic
without connected lead-acid gel battery.
7.7 Operating temperature
The semiconductor components used in our production including the LED’s are specified for
industrial applications. That means an operating temperature range from -40 to +85 Celsius
is guaranteed by the manufacturer.
The microwave transceiver is specified for an operating temperature range from -20 to +70
Celsius. Outside these limits the manufacturers give no guarantee for a faultless function.
7.8 Water protection
The industrial housing protection class is IP64 (compare EN 60529). IP64 means that the sys-
tem is protected against intrusion of dust and the housing protected against water splashing
from any direction. The housing is in any case sealed against rain water.
Another thing is the problem of humidity, because the housing has two small drillings (Ø 2mm)
at the housing bottom for pressure balancing. Strong temperature differences between a hous-
ing interior and the surrounding produce a low pressure situation in the housing interior. Slow
pressure compensation with the intrusion of humid environmental air may settle down moisture
on the surface of the interior housing walls, also at the inner side of the front pane. The hous-
ing has the two drill holes in the frame on the bottom side for pressure balancing and the drain
of condensing water.
7.9 Radio wave interference
Through the use of stereo-channel Doppler transceiver (radio wave transmitter and receiver)
and an appropriate measure procedure with steady signal supervision the display of speed val-
ues caused by interfering radio waves of other systems can be excluded.
If the interfering signal is much stronger than the received radar signal of the viasis then the
system stops operation. In such rare case you need to change the measurement place.

8 Maintenance
8.1 Cleaning the front window pane
Attention: To clean a dirty front window pane use always a liquid antistatic
detergent or an antistatic cleansing towel!
Otherwise the transparent plastic front pane can be electrostatic charged up to sev-
eral kilovolts (frictional electricity) especially when using dry paper or synthetic textile towels.
The discharge pulse may destroy the semiconductor components in the microwave transceiver.
A damaged or destroyed microwave transceiver reduces the measurement distance range or
leads to a complete failure of the measurement display.
8.2 Charging and testing the lead acid battery
The battery is discharged, if the voltage level drops below 10,7 Volt. The battery is separated
below this level through the integrated low level discharge protection. Recharge the empty
battery immediately to avoid irreversible chemical destruction.
Attention: The batteries shall be stored only in loaded condition at dry loca-
tions!
The self-discharging of our delivered batteries is with 0,1% (at 20°C) of the loaded
capacity per day very low, so that charged batteries can be stored also for longer times (½
year) without any problems.
The battery voltage level can be checked under load condition at power on („188“ is displayed
and the battery voltage value follows) and when you connect a laptop or PC and use the test
function „main battery“, see also chapter 6.8, but without load. Is the battery voltage level
below 11,3 Volt the viasis will not start operation.
For the battery loading you should use our automatic battery charger, which stops loading at
the high level battery voltage of about 13,8 Volt. If you use a battery charger with no overload
protection, it might destroy the battery chemically if a voltage level of 13,8 Volt is exceeded.
Reverse connection of batteries and charger are impossible with the viasis battery connectors
which allow a plug in the coupling only in the correct way.
Attention, if you use third party chargers: When connecting the cables of the
battery, take care of the right polarity! Connect the black minus pole of the
charger to the black minus pole of the battery and the red plus pole of the
charger to the red plus pole of the battery. Lead-acid gel batteries can be charged reverse
and herewith destroyed. Additionally the next connection to the viasis will cause a short
circuit and blow the fuse in such a case.
The time to load a completely empty 17 Ah battery with our battery chargers (load currents 2
Ampere) is approximately 10 hours to 90% of the battery capacity. The time to load the bat-
tery to full capacity (charger LED load control extinguishes) can be much longer.

8.3 Changing the battery
To withdraw the battery unfasten the cover brackets and open the cover of the battery box,
placed on the backside of the viasis display system.
Remove the plug of the battery cable from the control panel socket, see illustration 8. Untight-
en the knurled nut above the turn bolt, turn the bolt aside and take out the battery. To install
the battery proceed in reverse order.
Attention: In case of two or more batteries – disconnect all empty batteries
first before reconnecting the charged batteries. Otherwise the fuse(s) might
be blown, due to the high current flow between empty and full batteries.
When you close the battery box cover take care not to press or cut the battery cable
wires.
8.4 Changing the fuse
In order to change the main fuse open the cover of the battery housing on the backside of the
display system. The main fuse holder is placed in the upper right corner of the control panel.
Replace the fuse with a mini 5 Ampere inert vehicle plug in type fuse.
Attention: Replace the fuse by the same type. Using fuses with higher cur-
rent values means in worst case a burned down system, if an electric
internal short circuit occurs!
8.5 Serial RS232 interface connector
The serial RS232 D-SUB socket is placed on the control panel in the battery box.
Only data receive and send line, signal ground line and shielding are connected by the interface
cable. This means no hardware control (RTS, CTS, ....) for the data flow is supported.
The pin connections (scheme see table below) at the 9 pole D-SUB connector of the interface
cable comply to the RS232C interface standard, used in almost every personal computer, lap-
top or palmtop. Should the communication be impossible even after correct setting of the
interface parameter and the right serial port chosen, check the interface description of your
computer manual. It might be necessary to exchange the RxD and TxD line at the D-SUB con-
nector.
If you have a computer with 25 pole DSUB serial interface connector, a ready-made adapter to
the 9 pole DSUB connector of the interface cable can be purchased in computer trade shops or
from us.

8.6 Trouble shooting
No „188“ value displayed after power on
Prove connection between battery clamps and control panel connector for
intermittent cable wires. Are the connector/socket contacts deformed or cor-
roded? Check the main fuse in the battery box. Control the battery voltage –
are 11,3 Volt present at the connectors when connecting the battery?
If you are not successful, you have to send us the system back for repair.
„188” does not disappear after power on
Send us the system back for repair.
„188“ flashes after power on continuously
Reason is probably an old or defective battery, which lost its energy storing capacity. Retry it
with a new battery. If you do not succeed contact us.
No speed value appears during vehicle detection
Has the viasis „free sight“ to the vehicles? Is the viasis straightened correctly (chapter 5
foll.)?
Are other high frequency wave radiating installations like high voltage lines, radar or radio
antennas in the near surrounding?
Is the minimal or maximal displayed speed set correctly (see chapter 6.3.4.2)?
Is the Led display deactivated in the actual valid parameter set (see chapter 6.3.2.1)?
Is the measurement time limited in the time schedule of the currently valid parameter set (see
also chapters 6.3.2 foll.).
Has the sensitivity of the radar been reduced (see chapter 6.3.7)?
If you don’t succeed contact our technical support first.
Car speedometer and display value are not equal
Car speedometers are not calibrated and show a remarkably higher speed than the real physi-
cal speed of a vehicle. To check the accuracy of the measured speed no car speedometer can
be used, except it was calibrated by the manufacturer (what is not done for serial cars).
An exact check of the accuracy must be made with a calibrated reference system (with radar,
laser, infrared or other optical methods) or a police car with calibrated speedometer.
If you have anyhow the impression that the displayed speed value is too low read chapter
5.1, 5.2 and 7.2 first.
If you don’t succeed contact our technical support first.

Are moving objects in the range of the detector, like crossing traffic, moving branches of
trees, birds, bicycles, pedestrians and so on?
If you don’t find any causes for the malfunction, contact us and send the system back.
The numeric LED display shows characters, which are not numbers
The system has an internal defect, contact us and send it back for repair.
8.7 Transport damages
Packing wrap damaged:
Unpack in presence of the delivering transport driver and let him confirm possible
damages of the display system on the delivery notes.
Packing wrap all right, packing contents damaged:
Inform the hauler immediately and demand for an inventory of the damaged display system, if
possible tell the transport driver to note the damage.
Important: Under all circumstances, to avoid the loss of compensation through the transport
insurance or from the hauler, inform the hauler within 24 hours. The delivered systems have
to remain in the same condition until the examination by the insurance took place.
8.8 Sending back/transport preparation/disposal
Before you send the system for repair contact our support. Sometimes systems do not operate
due to parameter settings or other reasons, often we may also offer a less expensive transport
way. Send parcels with „receiver pays cargo fees“ are not accepted.
Error description:
For a faster treatment of your repair, please write us a short error description and
name us a contact person for possible questions of our side.
Packing wrap:
In order to lessen the risk of transport damages, the system should be send generally
only in a complete original packing set. Every wrapping is usually used for maximal
two ways. Although the cardboards may lose their mechanical stability, the foamed
plastic bodies can be used more often. If you cannot store the packing material we
are ready to take it back.
If the original packing set is fully or partly lost, the empty packing set can be ordered from us
(only complete).
Take-back and disposal of old systems:
We take back and dispose our systems free of cost. We disassemble the systems,
sort the parts and materials, which are recycled or if possible reused. Send parcels
with „receiver pays cargo fees“ are not accepted. Please mark the systems clearly
‘for disposal’.

occur with its use.
(2) Only use the DFS 700 in a technically perfect condition and in accordance with legal
provisions, in full awareness of safety and dangers by following the operating
instructions! In particular, repair faults that may impair safety immediately yourself or
have them repaired by the service company.
(3) The DFS 700 is exclusively intended to measure, display and record the speed,
measured by the built-in radar equipment, of vehicles passing in front of it. An alternative
or more extensive use is deemed to be improper.
The manufacturer/supplier is not liable for damages occurring as a result of this. The
user alone bears the risk.
Proper use also includes following the operating instructions and complying with the
service and maintenance conditions.
(4) Keep the operating instructions within reach in the place where the device is installed.

2-2
Notes on certain types of danger
Electrical power
(1) To connect the DFS 700 to the public power supply outdoors, a connection must be
available that satisfies the local electrical guidelines and safety requirements.
The power supply line phase [brown/black wire] must be secured with a suitable
NOTE fuse, typically 4 to 6 A. Otherwise the electronics in the DFS 700 may be damaged
or destroyed in case of over-current.
When the DFS 700 is in a fixed installation, e.g. to street lights, a disconnectable
over-current protective device (max. 6A) according to EN60950 must be installed
between the power supply line and the DFS 700. For service work on the DFS 700
the power supply must be disconnected via the over-current protective device.
The over-current protective device is to be installed in accordance with the local
electrical guidelines and safety requirements. Therefore in Scandinavia, for
example, a cut out must have a 2-pole connection against grounding.
(2) The electrical connections must always be produced in accordance with the
requirements for the intended location. In the case of fixed installations the plug on the
power supply unit or the Charger may have to be removed. If the plug is still to be used,
then an adequately waterproof, weather-resistant, and properly mounted socket with
protection to the power line as specified above is to be provided.
(3) Only use fuses of the prescribed rating. In the event of faults in the power supply shut
the equipment down immediately.
(4) Work on the electrical equipment or fittings (e. g. Charger) must only be carried out by a
qualified electrician or by trained personnel under the management and supervision of a
qualified electrician in accordance with electrical engineering rules.
(5) Parts, on which tests, maintenance and repair are being carried out, must have the
power to them disconnected. The disconnected parts must be initially tested for zero
voltage then grounded and shorted. Adjacent parts with power still connected to them
must be isolated!
(6) The electrical equipment on the DFS 700 is to be checked regularly. Defects, such as
loose connections or burnt cables, must be removed immediately.
2-3
(7) If work is required on disconnected parts, take a second person along who can trigger a
power-down in an emergency.
(8) Use only insulated tools!
Power Supply Unit Box (if available)
(1) As a basic principle the Power Supply Unit box is provided for use on the DFS 700 (on
the frame or in the Battery- & Mounting Box), but can also be used separately
considering the vertical alignment when placed indoors (workshop, office) or outdoors
(next to mounting location).
(2) Do not open/disassemble the Power Supply Unit box. Completely replace damaged or
non-functioning Power Supply Unit boxes, including the two cables. This also applies to
cable damage.
Battery (if available)
(1) Do not remove the Battery pole caps. A short circuit, which can destroy the Battery, is
created by bridging the positive and negative poles with metal. There is a risk of injury as
a result of parts heating up or arcing voltages.
(2) The Battery cable and poles should be undamaged; otherwise the Battery is to be
replaced.
(3) As a basic principle charge the Battery used in the Battery- & Mounting Box using the
Charger.
(4) Only charge and discharge removed Batteries in ventilated areas, as charging causes
poisonous and flammable gases to develop. No Smoking! Keep children away!
(5) Do not cover the Battery and do not place on radiators, heaters or open fires. Avoid
contact with water.
The optional Battery- & Mounting Box is the best location for the Battery while
NOTE
charging and in use.
2-4
(2) The Battery fluid is corrosive! On contact with skin, the eyes or clothing, wash the area
affected in plenty of water. On physical contact consult a doctor (contact with sulphuric
acid).
(3) The Battery must be recycled or properly disposed of. Disposing of the Battery in
domestic waste is prohibited.
(4) The Battery may not be beaten, disassembled, damaged, dumped or burned in an open
fire. The danger of an explosion otherwise exists.
(5) Only transport Batteries wearing eye protection and acid-resistant gloves.
(6) Only work on Batteries wearing eye protection and protective clothing.
Battery Charger (if available)
(1) The Battery Charger is exclusively approved for charging the DFS 700 Battery.
(2) As a basic principle the Charger is provided for indoor use (workshop, office) but inside
the Battery- & Mounting Box it can also be used outdoors. To avoid overheating, do not
cover the Charger during a charging cycle.
(3) The epoxy resin-filled Charger is spray-proof, but must not be immersed in water for long
periods (IP67).
(4) The mains socket or a power disconnect must be easily accessible. If an operating fault
occurs, remove the plug from the socket immediately or disconnect the power.
(5) Hazardous voltages exist inside the Charger. Do not open/dismantle the Charger. Avoid
damage.
(6) The charging cycle can cause explosive gases to develop. Avoid sparks and open
flames. Ensure there is adequate ventilation during a charging cycle. The Charger may
not be used in the immediate vicinity of combustible anaesthetic gases. The plastic
casing should not come into contact with oil or grease etc., as it can be dissolved by
chemicals and solvents.
The optional Battery- & Mounting Box is the best location for the Charger while
NOTE
charging and in use.
2-5
Radar
(1) The radar beam may be damaging to the eyes. Do not look directly into radar radiation!

4 Technical Description
4.1 Intended use
The DFS 700 (Figure 3-1) is used to measure and display the speeds of vehicles driving into
the radar beam. These measurements are displayed to the vehicle, recorded and can be
evaluated statistically by the user program DFS-CAS.
The monitoring of traffic speeds in flowing traffic is particularly usefull for the following traffic
zones:
Traffic zones with particular speed limits; e.g. residential areas, inner-city areas and
building sites.
Dangerous traffic spots, such as curves, bridges and tunnels.
Traffic zones that have to be driven carefully, e.g. in front of hospitals, schools, bus-stops,
streets with surfaces that are dirty or produce noise.
The spray-protected DFS 700 can be used outdoors permanently independent of weather
given the appropriate power supply. As a result of the reflective sheet on the frame (Figure 3-1
Item 1) the DFS 700 can be easily spotted by drivers during the day and especially in the dark
due to reflection from the vehicle's headlamps. If necessary, additional information can be
attached to the reflective area of the frame (Figure 3-1 Item 1).
4.2 Functionality
In the ready-to-use state (power supply created, switched on and initial settings made by the
user program DFS-CAS), the radar sensor (Figure 3-1 Item 4) measures the speed of an
approaching vehicle. The radar sensor (Figure 3-1 Item 4) is located in the lower field of the
central figure.
In normal operation the vehicle’s speed is displayed in LED-digits (Figure 3-1 Item 5) on the
speed display (Figure 3-1 Item 3). The colour of the digits can be set to green or red.
As a rule, speeds set as permissible are displayed in green, speeds exceeding the speed limit
in red.
The LED-digits adapt their intensity to the ambient light conditions.
4-1
A corresponding light sensor (Figure 3-1 Item 2) is located in the upper field of the central
figure.
With two independent thresholds the display can also be set to flashing and an additional
external device, e.g. a flashing warning light, can be switched on for an additional warning
The speed-display unit can store up to 100,000 measurements. If the memory is full additional
measurements will overwrite the oldest measurements first.
All the settings for operation of the speed-display unit are made using the DFS-CAS user
program. The DFS-CAS user program can be installed on a PC running the Windows XP/2000
operating system and/or on a PDA running Windows Mobile 5.0.
The connection from the display unit to the PC is created using the USB-cable supplied
(Figure 3-2 Item 7) or, after activating the supplied Bluetooth adapter (Figure 3-2 Item 6) on
the PC by wireless connection. A Bluetooth-capable PDA can also be connected wireless to
the display unit.
Where the optional GSM-Modem (Figure 3-3 Item 4) is used, additional radio communication
is possible via the GSM network (mobile communication). To that end a modem is needed in
the PC and a GSM-SIM-card (Figure 3-3 Item 4B) is required in the GSM-modem (see also
4.5).
The speed display unit has a 2 1/2 LED digital display, which can display the maximum value
199. It comprises a total of 27 light segments homogenously tuned to each other (13
segments per number, 1 segment for the leading 1). Under optimum environmental conditions
the digits can be read at a distance of over 100 m.
The operating elements and electrical connections (see Figure 4-1) are located on the back of
the speed display unit under a two-part service cover (Figure 3-1 Items 11 and 12).
The connected cables are held in place by a foam rubber seal after the service covers are in
place.
The speed display unit has passive internal ventilation provided by two add-on vents (Figure
3-1 Item 8). The vents must always be kept uncovered.

The speed display unit (Figure 3-1 Item 2) is attached to the frame with screws (Figure 3-1
Item 1). Its breakthrough on the front of the display unit is sealed with black silicone.
The frame can be changed if desired. To that end, eight securing bolts on the speed display
unit casing are to be unscrewed and the silicone seal broken. The new frame is to be bolted
through the same holes and should be sealed with black silicone again.
The optional 230V Power Supply Unit box (Figure 3-1 Item 7) establishes the power supply
between the mains connection (100 V - 240 V) and the speed display unit (12 V) via its two
cables. The box is maintenance-free, weather-tight and not to be opened. The two add-on
vents (Figure 3-1 Item 8) must always be kept free.
As a basic principle, the Power Supply Unit box is to be mounted on its mounting plate above
the speed display unit on the frame.
If required, however, the Power Supply Unit box can also be set up separately considering the
vertical alignment.
The DFS 700 is mounted on a 60 mm pole via the mounting brackets (Figure 3-1 Item 6).
4.3 Possible applications
The DFS 700 can be used in its standard model and with the optional accessory fittings using
different possible power supplies.
NOTE Follow installation advices and electrical connections as specified in Section 6!
Fixed installation with permanent power supply (mains operation)
The standard model of the DFS 700 is used in a fixed location and is connected to the
public electricity supply through the Power Supply Unit.
Additionally the optional Battery- & Mounting Box can be used for this kind of installation.
Fixed installation with Battery and mains power supply (Battery buffer mode)
The DFS 700 can be operated with the Battery and the Charger in the Battery- & Mounting
Box. In case the power supply is switched off or fails the equipment is still powered by the
Battery.
The Charger recharges the Battery when the power supply is switched on again.
Independent Installation (Battery mode)
The DFS 700 can be powered with one or two Batteries in the Battery- & Mounting Box
independent of public power supply. Alternatively, it can also be powered by solar power,
however this is not included in the delivery package of the DFS 700 and must be obtained
from other suppliers.
Customer-specific Design
After removing the frame (Figure 3-1 Item 1) the speed display unit can be fitted into other
frames or cases, which are equivalent to the original parts in terms of quality
(weatherproofness, ventilation).
4-4
4.4 Operating modes
Various modes can be set in the DFS 700 using the user program. The preset red/green
colour change, flashing setting and activation settings for externally connected equipment are
taken into consideration in every mode. The measured speeds are recorded in all operating
modes except for the standby mode.
The speeds to be displayed can be limited such that very slow speeds (e.g. cyclists) or very
high speeds (to avoid abuse) are not displayed.
All modes can be time-scheduled to switch automatically to standby mode and back using a
user-defined switching program, so as to reduce power consumption in periods of low-traffic
density or low-relevance.
Standby Mode
The DFS 700 operates with minimum power consumption, which only allows the equipment
to be configured using the user program. Radar and Display are inactive.
Radar Mode
The speeds of approaching vehicles are measured and displayed and the speed data is
stored.
Limit Mode
Like Radar Mode with the difference that a user-defined speed limit value is displayed to
approaching vehicles.
Covert Mode
The speeds of approaching vehicles are measured and the data is stored, but nothing is
displayed. This mode enables driven speeds to be collected and assessed without
influencing traffic with a visible display.
Demo Mode
The LED display shows a sequence of digits with changing red/green colours, varying
brightness and flashing frequency to test the quality and capabilities of the display
presentation.
4-5
4.5 Optional equipment
Power Supply Unit Box
The 230 V power supply unit box (Figure 3-3 Item 6) provides the power supply via its two
cables between the mains connection (100 V - 240 V) and the DFS 700 (12 V). The box is
maintenance-free and waterproof and is not to be opened. The vents must always be kept
clear.
In principle the power supply unit box is to be mounted on the back of the DFS 700. See
Section 6.
If required, the power supply unit box may also be installed separately, taking into account the
vertical alignment.
Battery
The 12 V, 17 Ah Battery (Figure 3-3 Item 2) specially for the DFS 700 is a gel-filled lead
Battery. A cable with a suitable plug is mounted on the Battery poles for connection to the
DFS. Battery and cable are a fixed unit.
Using the Battery mains independent operation is possible.
The voltage management system of the DFS 700 cuts the DFS 700 off from the Battery at a
voltage under 10.8 V so as to avoid deep discharge.
If the optional GSM/GRPS-modem is fitted and active, an error message concerning the
imminent low Battery level is sent by SMS to the specified recipient.
The Battery is safely housed and protected from weather in the optional Battery- & Mounting
Box (Figure 3-3 Item 1).
For separate setup without the Battery- & Mounting Box the Battery must be given
special protection from weather and unauthorised access (see Section 2).
NOTE Using Batteries from other manufacturers but with the same performance data is
acceptable. However, 3M will not accept liability for the correct operation of the DFS
700. In any case only the Bremicker Battery Charger may be used to charge the
Batteries through the DFS 700.
Two identical Batteries can be used to operate the DFS 700; both of them are to be connected
to the speed display unit. The DFS 700 voltage management system will regulate the power
supply from the two batteries and make sure that both are used equally.
4-6
Battery Charger
The Battery Charger (Figure 3-3 Item 3) specially for the DFS 700 is only intended to charge
the DFS 700 Battery.
A cable with a suitable plug for connection to the speed display unit is mounted on the Battery
Charger.
Where the Battery Charger is used, buffered mains operation of the DFS 700 is possible.
Therefore a Battery and the optional Battery- & Mounting Box must both be used (Figure 3-3
Item 1).
The Battery is charged by the Charger connected to the mains even if the DFS 700 is
switched off, provided that both the Battery and the Charger are connected to the DFS 700.
For compliance with CE Regulations for fixed installations, where the Charger is
connected to the public mains network, a frequency filter has to be used in the supply
line. Following types can be used:
1. Schurter 5500.2034 FMLB-0109-2040
2. Schurter 5500.2043 FMW2-52-2/1.25
GSM/GPRS-Modem
The GSM/GPRS Modem (Figure 3-3 Item 4) specially for the DFS 700 is a mobile
communication modem for transmissions over any distance.
An activated SIM card with data services (Circuit Switched Data Services) is required for
mobile communication to the DFS 700.
Figure 4-2 GSM SIM card
This SIM card must be obtained from a local GSM supplier. The following advices should be
followed for fault-free operation.
If possible, do not use prepaid cards! The prepaid credit can run out after a certain
period. The card then has to be removed from the GSM Modem for recharging.
An unambiguous call number must be allocated to the data service. In the case of
cards having several services, the data service must have its own call number
specified for it.
Before using the GSM Modem for the first time, the PIN number should be noted and
kept in a safe place as it will be used again later. Alternatively, PIN-number polling in
the SIM card can be deactivated.
4-7
In the active state the modem transmits error messages/faults to the specified recipient by
SMS.
The activated GSM Modem also represents a alternative connection possiblity to USB or
Bluetooth connections for using the same functions of the software (download data,
diagnostics, etc.).
For mobile communication a modem must also be installed in the PC for dialling into the DFS
700.
Telephone connection

Telephone cable
Figure 4-3 GSM-connection from PC to DFS 700
The GSM/GRPS Modem is supposed to be installed into the Battery- & Mounting Box since it
provides particular protection for the modem. It can also be installed in a casing with the same
characteristics and at least the same quality.
4-8
Battery- & Mounting Box
The Battery- & Mounting Box (Figure 3-3 Item 1) for the DFS 700 is used to store the optional
accessories safely and weatherproof and to mount the device on vertical poles 60 to 140 mm
in diameter.
Two hinges are located on the box (Figure 4-4 Item 3), into which the frame of the DFS 700 is
suspended. After closing the DFS in front of the Battery- & Mounting Box, the case can be
locked with a key (Figure 4-4 Item 5).
Interior ventilation is provided by the two vents in the rear wall. The vents must not be covered
and must always be kept open. The Batteries can be placed on the two trays (Figure 4-4 Item
4).
Fixings and bolt threads are already in place on the back for attaching the GSM/GPRS Modem
(Figure 4-5 Item 2), the Battery Charger (Figure 4-5 Item 3) and the Power Supply Unit box
(Figure 4-5 Item 6).

5 Transport and Storage
5.1 Transport
For transporting the DFS 700, switched off and disconnected from the mains, and the
accessories the original packaging should always be used. If the DFS 700 and the Battery- &
Mounting Box are to be transported already assembled, a break-proof and weatherproof
packing should be made for this unit. In addition, the front of the frame is to be protected by a
soft cover.
For transport all outward-leading cables are to be laid such that they cannot hang loose.
The Battery must be removed from the Battery- & Mounting Box prior to transport and packed
separately.
Follow safety advices on handling the Battery, see Section 2.
During transport do not hit the parts or subject them to strong vibration.
5.2 Storage
The DFS and its accessories, switched off and disconnected from the mains, can be stored for
up to 12 months at an ambient temperature of 20°C to 30°C and 55% relative humidity in a

(9) The display parameters can be modified in the “Display” tab. The parameters are
explained below.
Figure 6-19 Display
Units for DFS display
Unit setting for displaying the speed in km/h (kilometres per hour) or mph (miles per
hour). May be different from the setting for data analysis in the program options.
Measure and log speeds from - to
Enter the speeds between which the DFS 700 measures and records. Speeds above
and below the set range are not measured and not stored.
Display Green / Red from - to
Enter the speeds between which the digital displays in green / red. Both colour ranges
are fully independent of each other. If the ranges overlap, green and red are displayed
simultaneously and produce orange. In ranges for which no colour has been set, the
display remains off.
6-19
To prevent abuse like intentional speeeding, the colour ranges should be set such that
no display occurs above a specific speed. Measurements will still be stored if they are
within the defined measurement range
Start flashing above
Speed above which the digital display also flashes
Frequency on/off
Flashing on- and off-time intervals in tenths of a second
Activate switchgear above
Speed above which an externally controlled unit, e.g. flashing warning light, is switched
on
Show this in speed limit mode
Speed value to be displayed in the “Speed Limit” mode (e.g. the maximum permissible
speed)
In order to display the speed limit only above a certain speed the colour range has to
be set accordingly. For example, if the unit is supposed to display a red 50 above
speeds of 55 km/h, then the following settings are suitable:
- Measure from 3 to 198 (measure and store all)
- Green from 199 to 199 (is never displayed!)
- Red from 55 to 199 (activate red above 55 km/h)
- Display in speed-limit mode 50 (display 50)
Green / Red brightness range from - to
The minimum and maximum brightness limits for display of the green/red LED’s
dependent on ambient light or selection of the presets "Economic", "Normal" and
"Intense". Within these limits the DFS adapts the brightness of the display to the ambient
light, whereby 255 stands for 100% brightness. At daytime the brightness will be at
maximum and at night at minimum.
6-20
(10) The operating mode can be selected in the “Operating Mode” tab (see also Section 4.4)
and times for automatic switching between the selected mode and the Standby mode
can be scheduled
Figure 6-20 Operating Mode
The following modes are possible (see also Section 4.4):
Standby Mode Communication only
Radar Mode Display the currently measured speed
Covert Mode Store the speed only. No display
Limit Mode Display a fixed value (e.g. speed limit)
Demo Mode Display random numbers
All 27 possible switching programs are deactivated on delivery and can be configured as
required. Thereby, days, times and change to Standby mode or the selected mode can be
defined. In case no switching time is defined and activated the DFS will always be working in
the selected mode.
6-21
(11) The radar sensitivity can be set as required in the “Radar” tab. The maximum setting
(255) is advisable. Reducing the sensitivity is only recommended in the case of faulty
measurements caused by adverse ambient conditions.

Bluetooth Pin
The 4-digit PIN under which the DFS 700 allows paired connections to be made by other
Bluetooth devices (PC, PDA). If necessary, all paired device connections previously
authorised by the DFS can be cut again.
The Bluetooth PIN is “0000” on delivery and should be changed for security (can
only be done via USB connection). Write the new PIN down and keep it in a safe
place. If the new PIN is lost, it can be reset to “0000” by restoring the DFS to the
factory settings.
GSM Modem PIN on the DFS
The PIN number of the data SIM-card, which has to be inserted in the optional GSM
Modem, if available (see Section 4.5).
If the wrong PIN is entered the SIM-card will be locked after switching on the DFS
several times. The SIM-card then has to be removed from the DFS and manually
unlocked with the PUK code.
6-23
Number for SMS Message
Mobile phone number to which the SMS messages are to be sent. This only functions
if the optional GSM Modem is available and a data SIM-card is inserted (see Section
4.5). The following messages are sent in English text:
Battery almost empty
Data memory almost full
Data memory full. Oldest traffic data will be overwritten
Battery of real-time clock empty
Status code in the event of issues (Self-test every 24 hours, see chapter 9.4)
SMS Service Centre
Enter the SMS Service Centre call number of the mobile-phone operator who supplied
the data SIM-card (see Section 4.5)
(13) The DFS 700 is now ready for use. As a simple function test, an open hand can be
waved quickly past the radar sensor of the DFS 700 - if the speed display is set low
enough the speed of the hand will be displayed.
(14) Switch off the DFS 700, unplug the mains cable and the power supply cable, pull out the
USB-cable and refit the service covers. The DFS can be transported to where it will be
set up.
6-24
6.5 Configuring the DFS 700 with a PDA
All the settings on the DFS 700 can also be made using the supplied PDA-program DFS-CAS.
Communication and data transfer between the PDA and the DFS 700 is wireless (Bluetooth).
Moreover, the PDA software can be used to diagnose faults in the DFS 700 and download
traffic data for the subsequent transfer and analysis on the PC.

6.5.2 Set up the DFS 700 via Bluetooth connection
A Bluetooth connection between PDA and DFS 700 is created in the same way as the
procedure for creating a connection between PC and DFS 700 (see Section 6.4.4).
(2) Search Bluetooth environment
DFSAA09580906
(6) Create paired connection. The Bluetooth PIN of the DFS unit is initially "0000“ (for
security reasons change it later! see Section 6.4.6).
The paired connection remains permanent and only has to be renewed if the
Bluetooth PIN changes or either the PDA or the DFS breaks the paired connection.
(7) Select the Serial Port connection as service.
(8) In principle, configuring the DFS 700 using the PDA software is analogous to the set up
using the PC software (see Section 6.4.6).
6-26
7 Installation and Operation
7.1 Selecting the installation location for DFS 700
To ensure correct measurements the location for the DFS 700 must be selected according to
the following criteria:
There must be an unobstructed visual field of at least 150 metres in front of the DFS 700. In
this area and in the radar beam there must be no objects such as trees, poles, parking
vehicles etc. Otherwise the speed display may be falsified and the radar range reduced.
Trees, in particular reduce the radar range
The location of the DFS 700 must be at least 65 metres away from large traffic signs.
Otherwise these large traffic signs can reflect the radar beams such that the vehicles in the
opposite lane could be recorded by the radar beam.
Do not set the DFS 700 up directly at crossing intersections or bridges. The DFS 700 must
be at least 125 metres away from crossing traffic, as it could otherwise also record the
crossing traffic as oncoming vehicles.
Where solar cells are used for powering the DFS, the location must have an unhindered
view of the sky to achieve the highest charge-capacity. Trees and buildings can cast
shadows on solar panels and therefore greatly reduce the performance of the solar cells.
The environment around the optional GSM antenna must be kept free of metallic objects so
as to guarantee optimum data transfer over the mobile phone network.
7-1
7.2 Mounting the DFS 700
This section describes how to mount the DFS at the designated location.
NOTE Pay particular attention to safety advices as specified in Section 2.
To avoid danger from flowing traffic the location should be secured, see Section 2
Safety Hints.
As a basic principle, this work can be done by one person. For tightening, only
commercially available tools are required.
7.2.1 Standard model DFS 700
(1) At the selected location place the pre-mounted DFS on the ground with its two mounting
brackets (Figure 7-1 Item 1) on a fixed pole that is 60 mm in diameter and has been
tested for a secure and stable stand (Figure 7-1 Item 6).
(2) Place the pole clips (Figure 7-1 Item 2) on the two mounting brackets around the pole
and loosely join the clips together using the supplied hexagonal bolts (Figure 7-1 Item 3)
and washers (Figure 7-1 Item 4) with the hexagonal nuts (Figure 7-1 Item 5).

(3) When setting up beside a road, push the DFS 700 two metres up the fixing pole and
lightly tighten the fixing screws.
As long as the DFS is not fixed in place it should always be supported by a hand,
as it can otherwise slip downward! There is the risk of injury!
(4) Rotate the DFS 700 horizontally such that the radiated beam lies over the carriageway to
be monitored, see Figure 7-2. The maximum horizontal angle of rotation should be below
10°.
(5) Tighten the joints. If necessary secure the DFS 700 from slipping by a clamp on the
fixing pole or a transverse bolt. In the case of a longer set-up time (after approx. 2 days)
tighten the bolts again.

7.3 Connecting and switching electrical power
This section describes the different options for providing the necessary power for operating the
DFS 700.
NOTE To connect the DFS 700 to the public power supply outdoors, a connection must be
available that satisfies the local electrical guidelines and safety requirements.
The power supply line phase [brown/black wire] must be secured with a suitable fuse,
typically 4 to 6 A. Otherwise the electronics in the DFS 700 may be damaged or
destroyed in case of over-current.
When the DFS 700 is in a fixed installation, e.g. to street lights, a disconnectable over-
current protective device (max. 6A) according to EN60950 must be installed between
the power supply line and the DFS 700. For service work on the DFS 700 the power
supply must be disconnected via the over-current protective device.
The over-current protective device is to be installed in accordance with the local
electrical guidelines and safety requirements. Therefore in Scandinavia, for example, a
cut out must have a 2-pole connection against grounding.
The electrical connections must always be produced in accordance with the
requirements for the intended location. In the case of fixed installations the plug on the
power supply unit or the Charger may have to be removed. If the plug is still to be used,
then an adequately waterproof, weather-resistant, and properly mounted socket with
protection to the power line as specified above is to be provided.
Pay particular attention to further safety advices specified in Section 2.
For compliance with CE Regulations for fixed installations, where the Charger is
connected to the public mains network, a frequency filter has to be used in the supply
line. Following types can be used:
1. Schurter 5500.2034 FMLB-0109-2040
2. Schurter 5500.2043 FMW2-52-2/1.25

8 Analysis of Speed Data Measurements
While the DFS is in operation all the speed measurements in the defined speed range (Figure
6-19) are stored. The memory in the DFS has space for 100,000 time-stamped
measurements. When the memory is full the oldest data will be overwritten first (ring buffer).
With the software the data can be downloaded to PC or PDA and then analysed statistically.
8.1 Transfering measurements to PC or PDA
(1) To transfer data from the DFS 700 to PC, establish a USB, Bluetooth or GSM
connection, see Section 6.4.
(2) Start the DFS-CAS program, highlight the device to be read in the “DFS List” and open
the download window via the “Read DFS data” command.
Figure 8-1 Read data from DFS
A data storage path is suggested as standard here for the data to be read. It can be
changed if required.
The suggested path is located in the data folder and is named like the selected DFS.
The filename is composed of "Year/Month/Day/ Hour/Minute/Second" and the extension
".dat".
(3) After pressing “OK” all data is transferred from the DFS 700 to the PC. The transfer
progress is displayed in the "Com Monitor" window and can take several minutes.
8-1
(4) If a PDA is used, the data has to transferred to the PDA first and then to the PC for
further processing.
Data transfer to and from the PDA must be done in accordance with the PDA's system
instructions.
8.2 Assigning measurements to a location
(1) The downloaded data must be assigned to a location before it can be analyzed with the
software.
Highlight the appropriate location in the “Location List” and open the “Read data from
file” window via “Location” and “Assign data”.
(2) Select and “open” the freshly downloaded .dat file in the data directory - the data will be
allocated to the selected location.
Figure 8-2 Load data from file
While assigning data downloaded from a DFS to a location new files were created in a
sub-folder of the data folder. These files can be identified by the extension ".vms" and
there is one file per measured day. The file that was downloaded from the DFS
(extension ".dat") is not needed then anymore.

9 Service and Maintenance
9.1 Cleaning
(1) Clean the speed display and the reflective front of the frame with a clean, dry cloth
NOTE The use of aggressive detergents and abrasives can damage the reflective coating and
should therefore be avoided!
(2) Clean all air vents on the DFS 700 outside and inside with a cloth or a broom. The air
supply vents must always be kept uncovered.
(3) Clean rough dirt from the DFS 700 with a broom.
9.2 Maintenance
The DFS 700 is maintenance-free as a basic principle.
Before setting it up, subject the equipment to a visual inspection and, while doing so, pay
particular attention to the condition of the mains cables. These must not be damaged but, if
they are, have the cable replaced by a qualified electrician.

9.4 Diagnostic status check
There are three ways of obtaining diagnostic information from the DFS 700: via the display, by
SMS (with GSM Modem), with the software.
The DFS performs a short self-check when switched on and shows a status code on its
display if applicable (see table below). After finishing the check two horizontal bars "- -" are
shown as a confirmation.
The DFS also performs an extensive self-check every 24 hours and, if applicable, sends a
status code by SMS to a defined mobile phone number (see section 6.4.6). This function
requires the use of the optional GSM Modem and the availability of a SIM card with data
services from a local GSM supplier (see section 4.5).
Diagnostic Information and additional device information can be obtained from the DFS
anytime using the "Status" command in the PC or PDA software. The following additional
information can be obtained that way:
Serial number
Firmware version
Manufacturing date
Date and time in DFS (at the time of communication)

Samuti ka kiirustabloode ümberseadistamine ning sisse / välja lülitamine . Hoiatuslampide ja märgutuledega märkide puhastamine , kontrollimine , riketest teavitamine ja parandus (edaspidi Töö), mida Töövõtja kohustub tegema vastavalt Lepingus ja Lepingu Lisades toodud tingimustele. Tööna käsitletakse kõiki töid ja toiminguid, sh Lepingus nimetamata töid ja toiminguid, mis on vajalikud Lepingus ettenähtud tulemuse saavutamiseks, samuti Töö vastuvõtmiseks vajaliku dokumentatsiooni vormistamisega seotud toiminguid. Lepingu üldtingimused Lepingul on selle sõlmimise hetkel järgmised lisad: Lisa 1 – Tehniline kirjeldus. Lisa 2 – Töövõtja poolt esitatud hinnapakkumus. Lisa 3 – Tööde üle andmis- ja vastuvõtmisakti vorm. Pooled juhinduvad Lepingu täitmisel lisaks Lepingule ja selle lisadele ka Eesti Vabariigis kehtivatest õigusaktidest, eeskirjadest, standarditest ning vajadusel muudest vastava valdkonna tehnilistest dokumentidest. Lepin g on sõlmitud avatud menetluse riigihanke „ Kiirustabloode, märgutuledega märkide ning hoiatuslampide hooldus 2021-2023 “ (viitenumber 224439) tulemusena. Kui Lepingus ei ole sätestatud teisiti, siis viiteid kindlale punktile, alapunktile või lisale tõlgendatakse viidetena Lepingu vastavale punktile, alapunktile või lisale. Lepingus on kasutatud pealkirju vaid viitamise lihtsustamise huvides ning neid ei arvestata Lepingu sätete defineerimisel, tõlgendamisel või piiramisel. Lepingus, kus kontekst seda nõuab, võivad ainsuses olevad sõnad tähendada mitmust ja vastupidi. Lepingu täitmise keel on eesti keel.
