1.0 Warnings and Precautions

APPLIED INFORMATION (AI) INTEGRATION

INSTALL GUIDE

The following symbols indicate important safety warnings and precautions throughout this guide:

WARNING indicates that serious bodily harm or death may result from failure to adhere to the precautions.

CAUTION indicates that damage to equipment may result if the instructions are not followed.

NOTE suggests optimal conditions and provides additional information.

1.1 Warranty Disclaimer

This manual will familiarize you with the features, operation standards and installation of Carmana h’s

SPEEDCHECK-12 Applied Information (AI) Integration Kit. Failure to comply with the use, storage, maintenance, installation or placement instructions detailed in this manual could void the warranty.

1.2 Standards

Perform all installation, wiring, grounding and maintenance in conformance with local building and electrical codes. Adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC) is mandatory to comply with any certification markings.

Non-adherence to code may void the warranty.

1.3 Safety and Usage Precautions

Batteries are shipped fully charged. Use extreme caution when handling the batteries as they can generate hazardous short-circuit currents. Remove all jewelry (bracelets, metal-strap watches, etc.) before handling the batteries.

Solar panels produce DC electricity when exposed to light and can therefore produce an electrical shock or burn. To render solar panels inoperative, remove them from sunlight or fully cover their front surface with an opaque material.

Before lifting any heavy or bulky equipment, ensure the load is secured so moving parts do not shift, and that it can be lifted as far as needed without back strain or loss of grip. Installation may require more than one person.

Ensure the equipment is not powered during installation and wiring of the system.

APPLIED INFORMATION (AI) INTEGRATION

INSTALL GUIDE

Recheck all completed wiring for proper polarity prior to energizing the system.

Changes or modifications to Carmanah equipment not expressly approved by Carmanah could void both the user's authority to operate the equipment and the warranty.

Product can have sharp edges. Accidental movement of hinged components can cause injury.

This guide is specific to the SPEEDCHECK-12 AI Integration Kit installation and is not a replacement for the complete SPEEDCHECK-12 product user manual.

Visit support.carmanah.com

to download the complete product user manual.

1.4 Applications

For Carmanah SPEEDCHECK-12 radar speed signs, the AI Integration Kit allows for remote system monitoring, scheduling and control.

The SPEEDCHECK-12 AI Integration Kit is available in two different states of assembly described below:

If ordered with a SPEEDCHECK-12 system : the display enclosure harnessing is assembled in the factory, creating an “AI-ready” SPEEDCHECK-12 system. The AI Integration Kit comes as parts to be installed by the user following all installation steps provided.

If ordered separately : the SPEEDCHECK-12 display enclosure must be replaced prior to following these installation steps. See the note below.

If installing into an existing system that was not ordered with the AI Integration Kit, you will require a new display enclosure. Contact Carmanah for more information.

For systems that have the optional large external SpeedCheck cabinet the door switch sensor is not compatible with SPEEDCHECK-12.
