Radar II

The most accurate ground speed sensor

Radar II

This top-of-the-line ground speed sensor delivers the truest velocity measurement available at mounting heights over 6 feet.

  • Installs easily
  • Views actual ground surface for accurate speed measurement
  • Can be mounted to look forward or backward from vehicle
  • Velocity range 0.33-66 mph (0.53-96.6 km/h)
  • Mounts at 35±5° angle and at least 24 in. (610 mm) height from target surface (mounts anywhere from 2 to 8 ft. high)
  • Variety of factory output frequency settings available
  • Sleek design—4 x 4 x 12.25 in. (10 x 10 x 31.1 mm)
  • Weighs only 4.5 lbs. (2.05 kg)
  • Achieves velocity errors of ±1-3% through in-field calibration
