1.0 Warnings and Precautions

The following symbols indicate important safety warnings and precautions throughout this guide:

WARNING indicates that serious bodily harm or death may result from failure to adhere to the

precautions.

CAUTION indicates that damage to equipment may result if the instructions are not followed.

NOTE suggests optimal conditions and provides additional information.

1.1 Warranty Disclaimer

This guide will familiarize you with the features and installation of the Carmanah AC to battery/solar retrofit kit for

the SPEEDCHECK-12 radar speed sign. Failure to comply with the use, storage, maintenance, installation or

placement instructions detailed in this guide could void the warranty.

1.2 Standards

Perform all installation, wiring, grounding and maintenance in conformance with local building and electrical

codes. Adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC) is mandatory to comply with any certification markings.

Non-adherence to code may void the warranty.

1.3 Safety and Usage Precautions

Use extreme caution when handling the batteries as they can generate hazardous short-circuit

currents. Remove all jewelry (bracelets, metal-strap watches, etc.) before entering the cabinet.

Before lifting any heavy or bulky equipment, ensure the load is secured so moving parts do not

shift, and that it can be lifted as far as needed without back strain or loss of grip. Installation may

require more than one person.

Ensure the equipment is not powered during installation and wiring of the system.

Recheck all completed wiring for proper polarity prior to energizing the system.
