What is the Black Cat II Radar Recorder?
The Black Cat II Radar Recorder is an automatic traffic data collector dis­tributed by JAMAR Technologies, Inc. It is designed for ease of use, but contains many options and features to provide comprehensive traffic data collection. This device is a non-invasive data collector that uses radar to gather highly accurate traffic data, which means there is no need to install any road tubes, loops or other type of sensor in the road.
With the Black Cat II Radar Recorder, you can gather data that includes vehicle speed, length, gap and volume. At any convenient time, you can transfer the data from the Black Cat II Radar Recorder to your computer for processing. Data can be collected for either bidirectional roads or two lanes going the same direction. The Black Cat II Radar Recorder contains 2 GB of memory, allowing you to record up to 200,000,000 vehicles.
The head unit of the Black Cat II Radar Recorder contains several con­nection ports and LED lights with which you should familiarize yourself. These are shown below.

How is the Black Cat II Radar Recorder Powered?
The Black Cat II Radar Recorder is powered by a 12 Volt rechargeable battery. The standard battery used with the device is a 12V 12A lead acid battery. In general, a fully charged battery (13.4 volts or higher) will record data for 6 to 10 days before needing to be recharged. The amount of time is generally based on whether or not the Power Saving option is enabled. The battery voltage can be seen when the unit is connected to the TRAXPro Software.
An optional solar panel is also available for long-term installations.
When the Black Cat II Radar Recorder is first shipped to you the battery is disconnected and will need to be connected before first use. We recommend that you check the voltage level of the battery when it is first connected.
Chapter 1 — Introduction
1-4
A fully charged battery should register at 13.4 or higher. If your battery is lower than this, we recommend that you charge it before the first use.
Note that the Black Cat II will not turn on if the battery voltage is below
12.0. Also note that the Black Cat II will stop collecting data once the battery falls to 11.2 volts.
We recommend that you disconnect the battery whenever the Black Cat II Radar Recorder is not in the field collecting data.
Keeping your battery properly charged is very important. The rechargeable battery will begin to decay and become less effective if it is allowed to fall below 11.0 volts. To avoid having to replace your battery prematurely, keep it consistently charged. A well-maintained battery will last for years without having to be replaced. Refer to Chapter 5 Battery Care for more information on battery maintenance.
Before You Begin
Before you attempt to collect important data with the Black Cat II Radar Recorder we strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with both the operation of the Black Cat II Radar Recorder, and the software that is used with it, by reading all of the documentation that came with the equipment.
Whenever possible, we recommend that you perform a test study if you are new to the Black Cat II Radar Recorder. This will help you become comfortable with the operation of the equipment and how the data is both collected and analyzed. This should make things easier for you when you have to do your first real study.

Installation
Before going to the site to install the Black Cat II Radar Recorder, check that you have the following items from the installation kit:
You will also need a standard flat-head screwdriver or 5/16 inch nut driver (not included with kit) to tighten the mounting clamp.
Check that your laptop is fully charged, has the latest version of the TRAXPro software installed, and that the date and time on the laptop are correct. You will synchronize the Black Cat II Radar Recorder's time and date to that of the laptop during setup.
Selecting a Site
When choosing a location to install the Black Cat II Radar Recorder, keep in mind that it will need to be mounted to a pole (typically a utility pole) or tree, so the site will need to have one of these available for use.
For the best results, the Black Cat II Radar Recorder should be installed:
• Six to ten feet back from the road.
• At least six feet above the ground.
• At a 45 degree angle to the flow of traffic.
• Where the far side lane is no greater than 50 feet away.
• Where traffic is free flowing.
The unit should not be installed:
• At an intersection.
• Near where vehicles are likely to park.
• In a position that causes the radar head to be at an extreme angle.
• Near where pedestrians are likely to be crossing.
• Where the Radar's "view" is obstructed.

Mounting the Black Cat II Radar Recorder
Once a site has been selected, the Black Cat II Radar Recorder can be easily mounted using the installation kit.
Step #1 - Thread the SnapLock clamp bands through the openings on
the pole bracket.
Step #2 - For the most accurate results, the bracket should be installed
so the Black Cat II Radar Recorder is facing traffic on a 45 degree angle.
IMPORTANT: The
area of the Black Cat II Radar Recorder that you are aiming toward the road on a 45 degree angle is the crosshairs on the front of the Radar head, as shown in the
picture here.
Once you have determined the 45 degree angle for the bracket, wrap the bands around the pole and place the bracket.
Chapter 2 — Site Installation

Chapter 2 — Site Installation
Step #5 - Lock the unit into the mounting bracket using the hole at the
bottom of the bracket. Once the Black Cat II Radar Recorder has been setup using the TRAXPro software (refer to the next chapter), close and lock the lid. If you wish to add further security to the installation, the chain that was provided with the recorder can be used. We recommend wrapping the chain around the pole above the unit, then feeding the chain down through the open in the bracket and locking it into place using the lower lock hole of the radar's case.
2-6
Step #6 - Depending on how high you mount the Black Cat II, you
may need to tilt the unit so it is facing down into the traffic lane. This is done by adjusting the bracket on the back of the Black Cat II. Loosen the top bolt on the bracket (there is one on each side) using the provided hex head allen wrench. Once loosened, the unit can be tilted down. The allen wrench can then be used to retighten the bracket.

Maintaining Your Battery
The following information regarding battery care is furnished to assist you in the use and maintenance of rechargeable batteries. Battery life is dependent on the user’s preventative maintenance procedures. Establish regular routines for all of your batteries regardless of their usage.
Charging a battery is very important. Your Black Cat II Radar Recorder depends on a fully charged battery to operate efficiently and to produce reli­able and correct data. Batteries should not be allowed to sit in a discharged state for any length of time. Once the battery discharges below 11.0 volts, damage to the cells has already begun. Symptoms of a damaged battery are:
1. The battery will not charge to its full capacity of 13.4 volts or higher.
2. The battery will only hold a charge for a short time under load conditions.
3. The battery will discharge faster than normal during storage under no load.
With this in mind, recharge the battery to its highest potential (normally from 13.4 volts and up) once it has fallen between 11.2 and 11.5 volts. The battery can be charged using the NOCO Genius G1100 Battery Charger that came with the unit.
Battery Charging
Monitor your bat­tery voltage by checking the Black Cat II Setup screen of the TRAXPro software. We rec­ommend that the battery be recharged to its highest charge level (usually
13.4 volts and above) once it discharges to between 11.2 & 11.5 volts. A good battery may charge as high as 13.6 volts or better. A defective battery may not charge any higher than 13.0 volts after a reasonable charge time. Charge time will vary with the level of the battery voltage. Usually, a battery of 11.2 volts can be charged to its highest potential in 12 hours or less.
5-3
To charge the battery, first remove it from the Black Cat II Radar Re­corder. Plug the NOCO Genius G1100 Battery Charger (shown below) into an outlet, then connect it to the terminals of the battery.
********CAUTION******** Never plug a charger into a battery unless you are absolutely sure of the voltage output and polarity.
The charger has four (4) Charge LEDs - 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. These Charge LEDs indicate the connected battery's state-of­charge as shown in the chart to the right.
After a battery has been charged, allow it to sit for several hours then check the voltage to determine if the battery kept its charge. Some reduction in voltage is acceptable. However, if the battery falls below 13.0 volts, recharge it for a longer period of time. If this does not improve the charge, the battery is most likely defec­tive and should be replaced.
Chapter 5 — Battery Care
Note that the NOCO Genius charger can charge several types of batter­ies, including 12V lead acid and 12V lithium that can be used with the Black Cat Radar. To change from 12V lead acid to 12V lithium (or vice versa), press and hold the Mode button. (Note that the charger must be connected to a battery for the Mode button to work.)
5-4
Monitor your battery voltages frequently, charging when necessary, and you will extend the life of your battery.
Additional Notes
• Do not expose the battery to moisture or rain.
• Do not drop, hit or abuse the battery — it may break and expose the contents, which are highly corrosive.
• Do not short circuit battery terminals. Some batteries are protected with self-resetting fuses, but short circuits may still cause severe dam­age to the battery.
• It is normal for a battery to become warm to the touch during charging.
• It is normal for a battery to “self discharge” during prolonged stor­age. Always fully charge a battery prior to storage. While in storage, periodically check the batteries with a voltmeter to ensure they have not discharged below a level that may cause permanent damage.
• Always store in a cool, dry location.
• Keep batteries away from fire and do not incinerate — they may explode.
• Under no circumstances should you attempt to open the battery case.
• Always observe polarity when connecting your battery to any electron­ic/electrical device. If your device is not protected from improper battery hookup, you may cause severe damage to the electronic circuitry. The positive terminal may be indicated by a plus (+) sign or red mark. The negative terminal may be indicated by a minus (-) sign or black mark.
• The effectiveness of the solar panel can be reduced if it is dirty or scratched up. For best results, keep the panel clean and in good condi­tion.
