General Operation

Once you have BEL LaserPro™904

properly installed, you’re ready for

unencumbered travel. Assuming

LaserPro™904 is “hard wired” into

your vehicle’s electrical system,

each time you start your vehicle,

LaserPro™904 will start up.

Conversely, each time your shut

your vehicle off, LaserPro™will

shut down. When an alert is

received, LaserPro™904 will

confirm a traffic Laser encounter

from

the front or rear. A Laser signal

targeted at the transceivers

mounted at the front of your

vehicle will trigger an urgent

audible alert and the illumination

of the red “F” (Front) LED,

coupled with the three blue LEDs

ramping left to right; conversely, a

signal targeted at the rear

transceiver will set-off an urgent

audible alert, coupled with the

illumination of the red “R” (Rear)

LED, and the “ramping” of the

blue LEDs from right to left.

Generally, a Laser alert is very

quick. Always remember to

respond to any alert LaserPro™

904 displays.

Once an alert is received, it is

recommended that you confirm

your vehicle’s legal speed and

Disarm your LaserPro™904

from further returning a

“blocking” signal to the Laser

source. Five seconds should be

ample time for you to:

a) Verify your vehicle speed;

b) Press the DIS (DISARM)

button once you’re in

compliance with the

posted speed limit.

Disarm Function

Pressing DIS (Disarm) will

terminate the LaserPro™904

transceivers from further

returning a blocked signal to the

Laser gun, and make certain

countermeasures do not

interfere with the officer’s traffic

Laser signal.

Once the DIS (DISARM) button

has been pressed, LaserPro™

904 will display a flashing green

power LED. This flashing green

LED serves to confirm that

LaserPro is no longer “blocking”

the Laser signal. This “monitoring”

mode will last for 60 seconds.

General Operations/Disarm Function

8804_LaserPro904Manual 5/2/02 1:24 PM Page 6 Rev 7 Mac

”

Any signal received while in this

mode will result in an alert –

BUT NO “BLOCKING” OF THE

LASER SIGNAL WILL OCCUR.

When no Laser signal has been

detected for 60 seconds, a

short “beep” will be heard,

coupled with FULL illumination

of the green power on LED. This

FULL illumination of the power

on LED confirms that the front

and rear transceivers have been

re-armed and are ready to

“block” future Laser

encounters.

Re-arming LaserPro 904

Once you have pressed the DIS

button, you can “rearm” the

blocking function without

waiting the 60 second time

period. To “rearm” LaserPro™

904 BEFORE the automatic 60

second time out expires, simply

press the DIS button a second

time. LaserPro™904 will be

ready to “block” the Laser

signals.

Note: If the LaserPro™904 is not

disarmed during a Laser encounter

it will continue to return blocking

signals whenever receiving further

Laser transmissions.

How Laser (LIDAR) Operates

Laser speed detection is actually

LIDAR (Light Detection and

Ranging). LIDAR guns project a

narrow beam of invisible,

infrared light. The signal is a

series of very short infrared light

energy pulses that move in a

straight line, reflecting off your

car and returning to the gun.

LIDAR use the light pulses to

measure the distance to a

vehicle. A very accurate speed

reading is calculated by

comparing the change in

distance over time.

LIDAR (or Laser) is a newer

traffic monitoring technology

and is not as widespread as

conventional radar; therefore,

you may not encounter Laser on

a daily basis. And unlike radar

detection, Laser detection is not

prone to “false” alarms.

Because LIDAR transmits a much

narrower beam than does radar,

it is much more accurate in its

ability to distinguish between

targets and is also more difficult

to detect. As a result, even the

briefest Laser alert should be

How Traffic Laser Operates

8804_LaserPro904Manual 5/2/02 1:24 PM Page 7 Rev 7 Mac

taken seriously. There are

limitations to LIDAR equipment.

LIDAR is much more sensitive to

inclement weather conditions

than RADAR, and a LIDAR gun’s

range will be decreased by

anything affecting visibility such

as rain, fog, or smoke.

A LIDAR

gun cannot operate through

glass and it must be stationary to

get an accurate reading. Because

LIDAR must have a clear line of

sight and is subject to cosine

error (an inaccuracy which

increases as the angle between

the gun and vehicle increases)

police typically use LIDAR

equipment parallel to the road or

from an overpass within 500-

1000 feet from targeted vehicle.

LIDAR can be used day or night.

Loss Of Connection Alert

BEL LaserPro™904 comes

complete with built-in self-

diagnostic circuitry, and error

indications.

During the start-up sequence,

the display will make certain

that all components are

connected and communicating

properly to ensure optimum

performance.

On initial start-up, a power-on

test sequence occurs. During

this time communications

between the front transceivers,

the interface (the “hub”

installed under your vehicle’s

dash which the transceivers and

control display are connected)

and the rear transceiver are

tested. Finally, the interface and

control display communications

are tested. If everything is

working correctly, the green

power-on indicator

will remain “on”.

Error Indications

LaserPro™904 is in constant

communication with each of its

components. If at anytime a

problem occurs that could

impede performance, (i.e. cable

is disconnected) an error

message will occur.

Alerts and Errors

8804_LaserPro904Manual 5/2/02 1:24 PM Page 8 Rev 7 Mac

Front Transceiver Error

If one, or both of the front-

mounted transceivers are not

communicating properly or

become disconnected, the red

“F” LED (front) on the display

will illuminate fully coupled with

an audible tone. This alert will

continue until the unit is turned

off, indicating that service is

required.

Rear Transceiver Error

If the rear transceiver is not

communicating properly, or

becomes disconnected, the

red “R” LED (rear) on the

display will illuminate fully,

coupled with an audible tone.

This alert will continue until

the unit is turned off. Contact

your installer for servicing.
