START UP INSTALLATION

a. Current French regulations

Speed Display

It must distinguish posted speed limits from excessive speeds: green or amber for posted speed limit and below; and red for excessive speed

Speed must not be displayed beyond 10 km/h above the posted speed limit in urban areas and 20 km/h outside urban areas. Beyond, and instead of the speed, a regulatory logo type AX14 can be displayed.

No other logo from the AX14 is authorized to be displayed alternately with the speed or beyond the excessive speed (Repeal of Smileys...)

Text Display

No message must be displayed below the posted speed limit (e.g. Thank You...)

Beyond the posted speed limit, the message displayed must be a short warning message: DANGER,

SLOW DOWN........

Legal texts

Decree of November 25, 1967 relative to road signaling (modified in 2011)

Part 9 of the ISSR (Ministerial instructions for road safety)

CERTU recommendations for radar speed signs

** Dimensions of the speed digits and letters must allow the driver to read them safely. Characters must meet the recommendations of Article 11 Part 1 of the ISSR.

c. Mounting

For any value

For best operating performances, please select the location for your radar speed sign according to the following criteria:

• An open field of at least 490ft upstream the sign. This area and the radar beam should be free of any objects (trees, poles, parked vehicles…)

• The speed display should be distant from more than 210ft of large road signs. Otherwise, these road signs may disturb the radar beam.

• Do not install a speed display at crossings or on bridges. Keep a minimum distance of 410ft with cross traffic, to prevent influence on display and traffic data.

• Please make sure the speed display does not interfere in the visibility of road signs.

Installation height: Between 7ft and 16ft (calculated from the bottom edge of the speed display). Off road: please do not exceed a 9ft off road

• Horizontal

Evolis Solution must be perpendicular to the road, even by strong off road, in

order to keep a maximum range.

Orientation

• Vertical

Sign must be installed straight, unless there is a strong road gradient (+/- 5%). In this case, the sign can be installed with the same angle, using a wedge, in order to optimize the detection range.

>5%, please

d. Mounting kit

A mounting bar is supplied with the display. Please mount it onto the pole using pole straps (not included). Please watch the mounting direction (up/down). Insert the hooks of the speed display into the bar. You can secure the speed sign with the bar using a key lock (not included). In a safety interest, it is highly recommended to use an aerial lift during the installation of the speed display.

We recommend the following installation procedure:

1. Put the bar onto the pole

2. Install the sign (without the batteries) onto the bar

3. Choose the correct direction and clamp the pole straps

4. Install the batteries, and/or connect the sign with mains

In case of solar power, it is necessary to install the solar panel with its mounting kit before installing the speed sign (See Solar Panel user guide)

Verification:

Once the sign has been installed, the detection range shall be between 330 and 820ft, but some items may alter the range: curves, presence of obstacles, fog...

The dial switch located in the battery compartment allows you to choose the speed according to the posted speed limit.

e. Reminder:

Before the installation of your speed display:

• Remember to check and comply with the current regulations concerning working at a height,

and make sure to always operate safely for you and the others.

• Also observe the regulations on the construction site signaling applicable to road border

interventions.

• Always make sure that the pole on which you install the unit is stable and has a sufficient

diameter. If in doubt, consult our sales or service representatives.

• Works on high voltage electrical equipments are subject to authorizations. Remember to

check and comply with current regulations.

f. Power supply

Evolis Solution is 12V powered and design to operate either:

• connected with permanent mains network or street light and a 12V/17Ah battery

• by solar panel with 2 rechargeable 12V22Ah batteries

• on rechargeable batteries with an external 12V/4A charge.

Evolis Solution is protected against batteries deep discharges. Average consumption and wattage:

• Speed: 0,3 A (3,6 Watts at 12V)

• Speed + Message: 0,8 A (9,6 Watts at 12V)

• Standby: 0,1 A (1,2 Watts at 12V)

Document confidentiel et propriété d’Elan Cité. Ne peut être communiqué à une entité tierce sans autorisation préalable.

• Safety feature :

Evolis integrates an intelligent protection process based on battery voltage thresholds:

• Threshold 1: Deactivation of text messages

• Threshold 2: Lower luminosity

• Threshold 3: Display stops in order to avoid deep discharge and battery damage

• Electrical fuses :

A 6,3 A fuse is located at the battery output to protect the device in case of wrong polarity. A

second fuse (located in the casing) protects the whole system.

AC power:

For a charge on the street lighting system, Evolis is equipped with:

• a 4 Ah internal charger

• a 12V17 Ah battery

•

IP66 male/female plugs for connection to mains

To connect the female plug to the mains, please do as follows: Plug the neutral cable on « N » Plug the phase on « 1 » Plug the ground on central plot

We strongly recommend adding a 30mA caliber 16A type AC breaker upstream the speed sign. ELANCITE cannot be held responsible for damage caused by a poor quality installation. In the absence of circuit breaker, the warranty may not be able to apply in case of failure on the internal electrical charger.

Document confidentiel et propriété d’Elan Cité. Ne peut être communiqué à une entité tierce sans autorisation préalable.

Solar power :

Position the solar panel ideally south. It is also recommended to padlock the system through the hole provided for this purpose (padlock not included). Before connecting the solar panel to the radar, the battery must be installed and connected to the radar. The vertical angle is directly given by the panel structure.

• Please connect using the plug cables.

Mounting: please refer to solar panel user guide.

The location must have a clear view of the sky to enjoy maximum loading capacity. Trees and buildings can cast shadows on the solar panels, thus reducing considerably the performance of solar cells.

Batterie only :

• Mobile use with one or two batteries:

In the case of mobile applications, Evolis Solution is designed to work with one or two batteries. After opening the back door of the unit, install the batteries charged in the slot between the two retaining hooks. Connect the terminals respecting the polarity and turn the dial to select your speed to suit the current limitation. Check the startup display on the Evolis Solution (self-test: 188 / battery voltage / 8 in red for Bluetooth versions). These are sealed batteries 12 Volts 22 Ah.
