DS4 Description and Operation
The MPH Industries, Inc. DS4 Radar Sensor is designed for DOT agencies to measure the speed,
direction, and range of motor vehicles and communicate via RS-232 to a PC, data logger or some
other data storage or display device. The DS4 reports the target vehicle’s velocity (speed and
approaching or receding direction) and range of the strongest reflected signal. The DS4 utilizes the
legally accepted microwave doppler shift principle and has performance characteristics compliant
for use under Part 15 of the US FCC regulations and with the European RTTE harmonized
standards for this class of equipment.
The DS4 is a self contained module consisting of a Gunn oscillator transmitter, a transmit and
receive antenna, and an integral signal processing unit. It is housed in a NEMA type enclosure
with one eight pin circular connector through which all of the power and communications pass.
Cable termination configurations include “flying leads” and a DB9 type of connector. The module
is not waterproof, but can be modified to use for outside locations in a fixed mounting
configuration with the addition of a sealed radome over the antennas. The DS4 standard
configuration outputs the strongest approaching target within a preset range of 600 feet. Special
configurations with ranges up to 1000 feet can be made with variations in the software modules
installed at the time of manufacture, but field change in configuration is not an option.

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Moduification of this device without the express consent of the
manufacturer may invalidate the user's right to operate the device.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules subject to the following two conditions:
1) This device must not cause harmful interference and,
2) This device must accept all interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
RF Exposure Warning: A minimum separation distance must be maintained between the user and the radiating
antenna. Failure to maintain this minimum separation distance may cause the device to operate in excess of the rf
exposure levels required by FCC Rules and should be avoided.

Protocol Document
1. Speed Packet Protocol
The DS4 Radar message packet consists of 7 bytes @ 1200 baud, no parity, 8
data bits, 1 start bit. Messages are paced at 250mS intervals and are sent
whether there is a target or not.
Char
Description

Status
Not used

Start of message
Radar status, as defined below
Speed values below 4 are treated as zero.
Values below 4 are treated as zero
End of message

1.2. Example
Received sequence 02, 128(0x80), 01, 65, 01, 55, 03.
Strongest approaching target at 65 at a range of 550 feet.
2. Recommendations for remote displays (sign boards) or data loggers.
•
•
•
Look at the Approaching Target byte. If it is 4 or above, display it.
If messages are not arriving, blank screen after a few seconds. The radar is probably off, or not
connected.
Displaying the difference between the sign receiving a speed of zero and not receiving a message
at all is recommended. This makes troubleshooting easier. We display a dot if communications
are working properly.
