INSTALLING THE SAFEPACE EV15SD

There are several methods and hardware options available for the installation of the SafePace EV15SD

sign.

SafePace® Evolution 15SD Installation Manual p. 8

Selecting a Site for the Sign

The site you select for the sign may vary with the application in which the SafePace EV15SD radar sign is

being used. However, you should generally adhere to the following guidelines:

»Choose a location where the line of sight from the radar sign to the vehicle will be uninterrupted. Give

consideration to how the location may develop with time. The following types of questions should be

considered:

•Will any trees grow directly in the line of vision?

•Is it likely that road traffic signs will be erected in a position that could obstruct the field of view?

•For solar-powered signs, are the solar panels likely to be blocked by any trees or other structures?

»Install the radar sign directly adjacent to the lane of traffic being targeted since an interfering lane of

traffic may cause inaccurate speed readings.

»Mount the radar sign to a stable and firm structure. Avoid structures that are likely to be affected by

wind or rain. We suggest that you use a 4-inch to 5-inch diameter circular metallic pole, ideally, or a 4-

inch × 4-inch wooden pole. .

SafePace® Evolution 15SD Installation Manual p. 9

Choosing a Position for the Sign

Similar to other road signs, the SafePace EV15SD radar sign should be installed near the closest lane of

traffic, although off the actual road. The recommended height of the lower edge of the radar speed sign is

approximately 7 feet above the surface of the road. The display should be turned towards oncoming traffic

so that it is clearly visible to approaching drivers.
