7 Place of Installation
7.1 Road side

Our installation system allows mounting of the SDR on poles, trees, buildings, etc. When
choosing the installation location for the SDR you must make sure that no objects such as trees,
buildings, etc. block the SDR’s “view” of the road. Please avoid reflective surfaces such as glass
buildings, guard rails etc. on the opposite side.

The following requirements must be observed during installation of SDR:

Technical requirement Smartphone

Installation height min.1m up to max. 8m

Roadside from edge of traffic lane min.1m up to max. 10m

Elevation (inclination angle – see page

The horizontal alignment can also be made with the Laser45. This optional accessory allows the
user to easily, quickly and precisely set the important 45 angle as precisely as possible.

(i) Caution! Before starting the adjustment process, make sure to disconnect the SDR
electronic from the power source.
(ii) According to the assembly drawing (see below), measure the distance (d1) between the
assembly position of the SDR and the road markings and position a reflector (d 2) with
identical spacing some distance away (10m to 15m).
(iii) Attach Laser45 using a vacuum cup to the front side of the radar unit or to the Smartbracket
and fix it. Switch the Laser45 on by turning the wing screw and focus the direction of the
reflector roughly by tilting the laser guidance (elevation).
(iv) Now align the rotatable combination of Laser45, SDR and / or Smartbracket such that the
laser beam strikes the reflector positione some distance away. This ensures a very precise
45° alignment.
(v) Finally tighten the assembly screws of the Smartbracket and if necessary hook in the
SDR box and lock it.

Vertical alignment

The vertical angle depends on the installation height of the SDR.

At a height of 1 m the correct angle is 90°. The angle becomes smaller as the installation height
increases. The angle range goes from 45°-90°.

Should the installation height vary you can calculate the correct vertical angle via myTD – see
chapter 10.

The SDR electronic needs to be set at a 30° angle, downward frontal to the measured lane.

Tip: Tilt the SDR case for 25°-30°. The missing angular degrees can then be accurately
adjusted by tilting the SDR electronic.

15.3 Definition v15, v50 und v85

v15: Shows the speed that is not exceeded by 15 % of the drivers.

v50: Shows the speed that is not exceeded by 50 % of the drivers.

v85: Shows the speed that is not exceeded by 85 % of the drivers.

Example: You sort 100 vehicles in ascending order by speed. The speed of the 86th vehicle
corresponds to the value v85. You see, therefore, whether the majority of the road users are
complying with the legal speed limit.

If 85% of all vehicles comply with the maximum permissible speed, e.g. of 50 km/h, then this
speed is deemed accepted by the traffic. If the value v85 is substantially higher than the maximum
permissible speed, traffic planning / traffic-calming measures should be taken.
