Place Tripod on Even, Level* Surface• Level Tripod first, before mounting FM-1.• Face “FRONT“ of Tripod at incoming traffic.

FRONT

* Where legs won‘t wobble, settle or move due to other conditions.

• Use Levers to “Zero“ all 3 axis:Pitch, Roll and Yaw




Use Adjustment Handle to Level Tripod• Unscrew Handle to unlock Top Plate.• Use Level Bubble to level Top Plate.• Once level, tighten Adjustment Handle to lock into place.




Mount FM-1 to Top Plate• Align two metal pegs on FM-1 to Slots in

Top Plate.• Slide FM-1 forward until metal pegs lock

into Top Plate and stop.(Little to no resistance, and will not make a sound.

Yaw Angle is correct.• Signal strength of 5 or more is desired.

Adjust Yaw Angle. Rotate FM-1 to the Right.

Adjust Yaw Angle. Rotate FM-1 to the Left.

NOTE:•Make small angular changes during Orientation, then...•Wait for 4-10 vehicles to be measured between adjustments.
