Rev 11/02/07 Manual P/N 109191-001 Wanco Inc. 2 WRDR-E RADAR HEAD THIS UNIT IS FULLY ASSEMBLED AND READY TO USE. NO CONFIGURATION IS REQUIRED. Thank you for choosing the Wanco Radar Head. Your radar is in a Polycarbonate enclosure suitable for outdoor use and is protected against access of oil, dust and water. The radar has been tested to and complies with FCC part 15 class A and as well carries a CE mark. Although it is fine to use the WRDR-E radar in North America it is more desirable to use the WRDR-L radar instead, since the WRDR-E radar is designed for Europe. The radar head uses a state of the art modern radar transceiver that offers excellent range detection without false detecting on spurious electronic signals and no configuration is required. SAFETY Do not look directly into the radar head when it is powered up. Keep any body part away from the radar beam as much as possible and at a minimum of 20 cm.
Rev 11/02/07 Manual P/N 109191-001 Wanco Inc. 4FCC/CANADIAN INFORMATION FCC ID: UQXWRDR192 MODEL: WRDR-E IC: 6809A-WRDR192 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210/Gen of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Warning: Changes or modifications not expressively approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. NOTE: This modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed on/inside your device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label may use wording such as the following: "Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: UQXWRDR192" or "Contains FCC ID: UQXWRDR192." Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used.

Wanco, Inc. 5870 Tennyson Street Arvada, Colorado. 80003 303-427-5700 Fax: 303-427-5725 E-Mail: info@wanco.com Web-Site: www.wanco.com There are no user serviceable parts in the radar enclosure. There is a solid-state fuse that will automatically reset if an over current fault occurs. The unit is polarity protected if it is connected to power incorrectly. Please do not open the enclosure as this could void the warranty. The unit is factory configured for either MPH or KPH as indicated by the label on the back of the unit. Most units are configured for MPH.
Rev 11/02/07 Manual P/N 109191-001 Wanco Inc. 6INSTALLATION Your radar head was designed for ease of use and installation and no configuration is required. There are 4 #6 studs to facilitate mounting to a bracket or some other suitable structure. The unit should be secure as possible so that it cannot vibrate. The unit must be pointed straight down the road, with the back side pointed away from traffic as indicated on the label. If the unit is at more than a ten-degree angle to the traffic, either horizontal or vertical, it will start measuring a lesser speed than the actual speed and may not have as much range. See the following figure. The radar enclosure has a 6-foot cable attached to it to provide power and communications. Connect the flying black lead to ground and the flying red lead to +12V. Connect the male DB9 to a controller board, modem, computer etc. to provide communication. Since the radar acts like a DCE, to connect it to a PC only a gender-bender is necessary not a null modem. The output string is 8 bits no parity 1 stop bit (8n1) 1200 baud in Hexadecimal (Hex) not ASCII. Specifically, the data is (2)(84)(1)(SPEED)(1)(AA)(3). This string is output every .7 seconds. The RS232 port can be
Rev 11/02/07 Manual P/N 109191-001 Wanco Inc. 7connected to a computer or some suitable controller for display of the measured speed or for some other purpose such as speed logging. There is nothing that is configurable through the communications port. The pinout of the cable on the DB9 is shown in the following figure. Pin # Direction Color 2 Transmitted from Radar Green 3 Received to Radar Orange 5 Common Brown Flying Lead 12.6 V Nominal Red Flying Lead Gnd Blk OPERATION The radar outputs a continuous wave (CW) at 24.125 GHz. Part of the signal that is transmitted from the radar transceiver is reflected back from objects such as moving vehicles. Due to the Doppler effect, the signal received from a moving object is slightly lower or higher in frequency than what was transmitted. This frequency offset is measured to determine the speed of the vehicle. Only the speeds of vehicles that approach the radar head are measured. Vehicles traveling away from the head are ignored. Please note though that in the first minute of operation any direction of movement will display so that a tuning fork can more easily be detected to test the radar. The vehicle with the strongest signal, which is normally the closets to the radar head is displayed. The radar head is capable of measuring vehicles as far as 1000 feet away. The lowest speed the unit can measure is 5 mph and the highest speed the unit can measure is 138 mph.
