Operation of the BELTRONICS 967e - See Diagram
(1)Display unit can be fitted virtually invisible in any car.
(2)Power/Volume button (P/V). Press briefly to switch your BEL 967eON or OFF. A self-test will occur automatically andthe results will confirm the active settings. Notice which LEDs 3, 5, 7, and 9 are illuminated. The volume level can be adjustedby holding P/V button (2) pressed in; volume level will be communicated through ramping of LEDs (11) and audio beeps fromspeaker (12).
(3)Ka band – 34.0 GHz 34.3 GHz, 34.7 GHz, and 35.5 GHz indicators. Illuminates green when the BEL 967e is active and confirms that Ka narrow bands are ON full time.When Ka detection occurs the Ka band –LED (3) will flash. Frequencies of 34.0 GHz, 34.3 GHz, 34.7 GHz, and 35.5GHz are thestandard default setting and cannot be turned OFF. This narrow-band Ka feature will detect commonly used speed checkingequipment on motorways.
(4)K band - 24 GHz button. This button activates (ON/OFF) the 24.050 GHz- 24.250 GHz K band frequencies. The green LED (5) willilluminate when this band has been activated. On detection of K band, the K band - 24 GHz LED (5) will flash. This frequency is used notonly on motorways but also on secondary roads.
(5)K band - 24 GHz indicator
(6)Ku band - 13 GHz button. This button activates (ON/OFF) the 13.450 GHz Ku band frequency. The green LED (7) will light up whenthis frequency is activated. When Ku band detection occurs the Ku band - 13 GHz LED(7) will flash. The Ku frequency is not commonly used, so check for local enforcement.
(7)Ku band - 13 GHz indicator
(8)High/City button (H/C). This button is usedto improve response time when detectingthe Ku band -13.450 GHz frequencies.The yellow High/City LED (9) will illuminate toconfirm operation. In the CTY mode, the967e alerts an audible alarm afterdetection of 13.450 GHz signals if thesignal strength is greater than two LEDs(11). This lower setting reduces falseaudio alerts. You can improve the audioresponse time for the 13 GHz frequencyby activating the H/C button (8) to the HWYposition.
(9)High/City indicator
(10)Control Module connections. Boththe power and receiver connection are atthe rear of thecontrol display module.See Installation Instructions for details.
(11)Signal strength. These four redLEDs light up one by one to indicate therelative signal strength (distance) of theradar source.
(12)Audio Alarm Speaker. The speaker gives different audible warning alerts for the various frequencies (K, Ka and Ku bands). You willsoon learn to recognize these frequencies by glancing to check which LEDs are illuminated. You can adjust the volume of theaudible signals with P/V button (2). The first time you hold the button “in” the signal will get louder. For a softer signal, releasebutton P/V briefly and then press and hold it in again. The audio volume corresponds with the illumination of one to four LEDs.
(13)Antenna. This contains the main electronics that receive radar signals. For fitting refer to the installation instructions.Arrow molded into housing must face in direction of travel.
(14) Antenna opening. The antenna must face in the travel direction. See installation instructions.
Automatic self-test and memory of BEL 967e
When P/V (2) is pressed the BEL 967e immediately performs a self-test. This test causes the Ka band - LED (3) and the signal strengthLEDs (11) to illuminate. The operation of all warning signals for K, Ka and Ku bands is verified. The BEL 967e's powercircuit is also checked. For your convenience the BEL 967eautomatically remembers your settings when it is switched OFF.
General Information – The most common checks
The BEL 967e is perfectly tuned for the European situation.
Please note: In certain European countries the use of radar detector equipment is prohibited and can attract a substantial fee. The advantage of the BEL 967e is that it can be installed virtually invisible (in contrast to windscreen-mounted detection equipment).
The most common checks:
a.)Checks using static boxes (often in a concealed position next to the road)
b.)Or using stationary vehicles or trailers
c.)Or using hidden equipment mounted in a post.
Often,if you exceed the maximum speed limit, you are also photographed and stopped immediately. On European motorways the standard equipments are using K and Ka bands. In a few cases older equipment is still used, which operates on Ku band. Ku band is only used in some European countries, to reduce false alerts it can be switched off.
The most common speed traps
/- Stationary speed radar: measuring the speed of vehicles moving away. The BEL 967e will warn you between 200 and 300 meters.
- Stationary speed radar, measuring the speed of approaching vehicles. The BEL 967e will warn you between 500 and 1500 meters.
- Mobile measurement of vehicles moving away. The BEL 967e will warn you between 200 and 300 meters.
The BEL 967e offers no guarantee against fines. It will promptly identify virtually any radar check, but it does not protect you against inconspicuous police patrol vehicles or against cameras that operate via „loops” in the road surface.
Is the BEL 967e ready for the future?
The frequencies currently used in radar traps are unlikely to change quickly. Because of the high cost of the equipment, it will not be easy for the authorities to change to replacement frequencies. In this regard, therefore, you will be able to continue to use your BEL 967e for several years.
BELTRONICS 967e INSTALLATION
The BEL 967e package contains:
The antenna● 4 meters of antenna cable ● 3 Tie-wraps ● An antenna-mounting bracket ● A signal reflector
The Display ● A power cable with fuse ● A plastic holder ● A dashboard frame ● A frame template ● A spare fuse
Sundry materials ● 7 machine screws ● 2 self-tapping screws (10 mm) ● 4 self-tapping screws (18 mm) ● 2 round-head screws (18 mm) ● 7 black nuts ● 2 silver nuts ● 7 O-rings ● 7 lock washers
If you are familiar with automobile electronics, it will take you some time, but you can install the BEL 967e yourself. For anyone else: consult your supplier for professional installation.
Step 1. Positioning the antenna
First check all components. The best position for the antenna is behind the front grill or in one of the spoiler air intakes. Make sure that the unit has a free „view” of the road. The arrow on the antenna must point in the driving direction and must not be obstructed by metal obstacles. Plastic, provided that it does not contain carbon, will not affect the antenna. Please note: certain metallic paints may reduce the efficiency. Depending on possibilities, use the self-tapping screws (A) or the machine screws (B).
/ Step 2. Fitting the antennaDrill two or four holes as desired in the mounting plate and fit the antenna using the machine screws or self-tapping screws.
The antenna should be preferably positioned vertically. If it is difficult to mount the antenna directly on the vehicle, the mounting bracket supplied should make it possible to find a suitable place for the antenna. Remember the driving direction (arrow) and to position the antenna vertically.
Fitting the antenna cable and the display
Step 3. Fixing the antenna cable
Find an existing cable run and use the tie-wraps to secure the antenna cable. Avoid moving parts or parts that become hot. Use preferably one of the existing openings in the bulkhead through which to feed the cable to below the dashboard.
Step 4. Fitting the display
There are three possibilities for fitting the display:
a.)Below the dashboard or in a compartment. The plastic holder and the tape supplied will hold the display in place.
Fix the plastic holder using 2 small holes (2.5 mm) and the self-tapping screws. The display fits into the slots in the holder. Fitting is even simpler if you use the double sided tape supplied: stick the tape at the point at which you want to position the display, then stick the display to the tape and you are ready.Make sure that there is enough space at the back for the antenna cable.
b.)In the dashboard using the dashboard frame.
Find a flat area on your dashboard. Use the frame sticker as a template to drill the holes and to saw out the section into which the display will then fit exactly. Secure the frame with the self-tapping screws. When cutting
out the section be sure not to damage any wiring behind the dashboard. Insert the antenna cable before fitting the display.
c.)With the optional sliding brackets.
When you leave your car you can then take the display with you easily. In certain European countries the radar detectors are prohibited. If you use the sliding bracket, it will be easy to remove the unit quickly. We prefer use of the sliding bracket.
Step 5. Inserting the antenna cable into the display
Insert the antenna cable connectors into the back of the black 5-pole plug on the supply cable. Pay attention to the color codes. Click the black plug into the back of the display.
Step 6. Inserting the antenna cable into the display
The black (earth) wire must be connected to the chassis. The red (12V) wire must be connected to the 12V power circuit. Make sure that you connect to a switched power circuit (power off when the ignition key is removed).
No contact warning!
If for some reason there is no longer contact between the antenna and the display, an audible warning will sound for one second.
Troubleshooting
The displays bleeps every second
There is no contact between antenna and display. Let your supplier check the connection.
No sound or too soft
Hold the P/V button (2) in for longer. The four red LEDs (11) indicate the volume.
Does not respond to certain types of radar
Select the K band - 24 GHz (5) and/or the Ku band - 13 GHz frequencies (7).
Frequent false alarms on the Ku band - 13 GHz frequency
Switch the High/City switch (9).
