    Introduction Welcome to the world of sophisticated, early warning laser/radar detection. You have purchased one of the most advanced laser/radar detectors available. The LRD 6199SWS is a complete integrated laser/radar detector. It responds to the X-, K-, and Ka-SuperWideband radar guns in use today and also provides 360° detection of the latest s[...]

    Speed Detection Systems A speed detection device (often called a radar gun) sends out either a microwave signal or beam of light. When this signal reaches its target, part of the signal is reflected or bounced back toward the emitting gun. The time required for the signal to leave the gun, bounce off an object, and return is used to determine a veh[...]

    Laser The Laser Speed Detection System, also called LIDAR (for Light D etection and Ranging), uses a laser gun that emits infrared light pulses just outside the spectrum of visible light. Each reflected pulse measures the speed of the object coming toward or going away from the laser gun. Unlike radar, the laser gun emits a very narrow beam of ligh[...]

    Installation The LRD 6199SWS uses a highly sensitive horn-type antenna and IR laser sensor to receive radar/laser signals. Its sensitivity and range depend on the method of installation and the direction of the antenna/sensor in relation to the signal source. The inherent nature of radar waves makes them reflect off metallic surfaces. This is why t[...]
