2. LOCATION SELECTION
In order to optimize your traffic calming results, there are a few simple things to keep in
mind and simple steps to follow. You’ll want to position the trailer in location that’s on a
relatively flat stretch of road and is not too close to any stop signs, intersections, or sharp
curves in the road. Also, a clear line-of-sight relatively free of obstructions such as large
trees, fences or other landscape features is most desirable. Keep in mind that the radar
unit you’ve purchased is approach only (single-directional), so only the speed of
oncoming vehicles is displayed.
3. SETTING UP FOR USE
Park the trailer as close to the final resting place as possible. Remove the safety chains
and unplug the lights. Important: Next, lower the front jack. Then unlock and unlatch
the ball hitch coupler. Lift the trailer off the ball and roll it into position.
To set the leveling jacks:
Step 1. Extend leg of jack towards the center of trailer (Figure 4a) to release the
jack. Swing leg down until the tabs engage in the locking slots, Figure 4b.
Step 2. Extend the leg by pressing on the base, Figure 4c. To raise the trailer higher,
insert the jack rod end securely through the holes in the leg and
through the rear hole, Figure 4d. Crank the jack rod for desired leveling.

To raise the jacks:
Step 1. Press on release lever (Figure 4e) to release the extended section .
Step 2. Push foot up while pressing release lever down.
Step 3. Pull body of the jack down to release it and swing it up until it locks
into place.
Step 4. Assure jack is in the locked position.

Next, unlock the “SPEED LIMIT” sign swing arm, raise it into position, and relock it - see
figures 5a-5c below. Be sure to set the numbers to the applicable speed limit for the
new location.

4. ANTI-THEFT PRECAUTIONS
We recommend a few ways to keep your trailer secure:
1. Lock the Hitch Ball Coupler with a high-grade padlock
2. Run a locking cable thru one or both of your wheels and around the
frame.
3. Purchase padlocks and place them on the leveling jacks do that
they are locked in the down position.
4. Chain or cable-lock the trailer to a nearby pole or other fixed
landscape feature.
5. FINAL POSITIONING / FINE TUNING
See Figures 6a and 6b for some basic trailer positioning tips. Keep in mind that the 12” tall
characters are readable to 750 feet. If the radar unit is picking up vehicles too far away,
simply rotate the trailer clockwise so that it’s facing the opposite curb a bit more.
Likewise, if the unit is picking vehicles up too close or not far away enough, rotate
counter-clockwise. Practice with as many vehicles as necessary until desired results are
achieved. Remember, you may adjust the radar gun angle (aim) in the FAST 650 as well as
the angle of the trailer for maximum fine-tuning.

6. PROGRAMMING STANDARD FUNCTIONS
Now that your trailer is in position, the “SPEED LIMIT” sign is raised, and your leveling
jacks are set; You are ready to power up. Find the included key, insert into the switch at
the underside of the display enclosure as in Figure 7 below. Turn clockwise ¼ turn to the
“ON” position. Your display should light up and flash a number between 0 and 8. This is
the ambient light indicating level that adjusts the LED’s brightness to meet the existing
conditions automatically. Note: The brightness control is always on automatic but it can
be checked for proper operation by the user, if needed. To check this, refer to the
paragraph
“Auto Intensity Diagnostic Mode, code 9981” in the Advanced Features Section.
Next locate a small push button next to the “On/Off” key switch on the bottom of the
enclosure. This is the programming button you’ll use to set up everything on the FAST
650. It will display “NM” for Normal Mode and then begin to cycle through the set up.
Figure 7
Key Chain Remote Control
•The left button directs the numbers up with the other directing down. When
the sign is in run mode, holding both buttons in for 1 second resets the sign
without having to cycle the power key.
•To replace its battery, remove the small Phillips head screw located on the
lower back and replace with a type 27A, 12volt alkaline cell.
Below is a list of the standard programming “menu codes” in the order they appear on
your display.
The speed codes and their meanings
Read over the following programming codes listed in the Speed Code Table
below to become familiar with the two-letter groups (modes) you want to set in
the sign using the push button. Concentrate on the “Normal Mode” (NM) and
“Violator Alerts”
(VA) modes only, for now. Notice that they are grouped so that for example, when
“VA” is selected, you can set the “Minimum Speed”, Flash (speed), Blank (speed),
etc. As the last numbers are entered, the display is ready and goes blank.

SETTING THE SIGN IN “NORMAL MODE”
The simplest mode to put the sign into is the “NM” (Normal
Mode). Instructions:
1. Turn the power on with the key. After the brightness number changes,
start pushing the button and stop on the two letter code “NM”.
2. As the display goes dark, it is now running in “Normal Mode”. In other
words, the sign will display the speed of oncoming vehicles from 5 mph
(down to 1 mph is also available, see Advance Features Section) to 99
MPH without showing any alerts. So for this code only, no further
programming would be needed.
PROGRAMMING THE SIGN IN “VIOLATOR ALERT” MODE

This section covers setting the standard “Violator Alert” functions including the
optional “Slow”, “Red & Blue” flashing signals. Note: The pushbutton instructions
described in the following paragraphs also apply to the use of the key chain
remote control buttons.
Turn power on. After the brightness number changes, push the button and
stop on “VA”. The display is now in “Violator Alert” setup mode. The Violator Alerts
1 to 5 will then begin to appear in the order of the photos as shown below. Note:
If the Timer is enabled, (see Section 11 “Setting the Clock and Timed Events) the
sign will run in Violator Mode (or any other mode) only during the selected event
timed program. Otherwise, if the timer is disabled, the sign will run continuously
(not recommended for overly long periods of time when on battery power only).
“Violator Alert”
Violator Alert 1: MS - Minimum Speed
After seeing the “VA” screen, the display will show “MS” (see photo below) along
with a number. The number represents the lowest speed at which the display will
start showing all oncoming vehicles. When this number appears, the operator
has 5 seconds within to start pushing the button in order to program this “MS”
speed setting. Press the button until the desired speed setting is reached. (Note:
If the button is held down, the numbers will increment fast without having to
press the button many times. The numbers will start over after 99 if you miss
your desired speed without turning off the power. If using the key chain remote,
simply press either button to move the numbers forward or backward). Once the
desired setting is reached, stop and wait for the next screen to appear after
approximately 5 seconds. The screen will then change to the next screen for
speed setting.
