Radar

[biper]

Road Angel
When ever I rev the car (Chim 500) it will detect a laser, even whilst sitting in my garage and carries on doing so every 10 seconds whilst driving over maybe 2.5k
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks

Should have said laser

Should have said that it dosn't do it on my daily driver

Havent you found the button to turn the radar system off yet? it's the black button under the dash to the left.....

I fitted the laser attachment to my RA compact and it false alarmed all the time so I took it off. In light of what you say it might be the car, only cause therefore is maybe excessive ripple/noise on the 12V DC supply?

I had the same problem with the first Road Angel, worked fine in the work car but the laser detector kept going off in the Chimaera. I contacted Road Angel about this, they ended up sending me a new laser detector, which plugged into the road angel, the new one worked fine.

Not sure if this is the same on the latest Road Angel or if they have the laser detector built into them....

Maybe worth giving Road Angel a call or dropping them an email, as they were very helpful when I had the problem.

Been in contact with RA, they said someone from there tech dept would call me back, 5mins later they did. Explained the situation re the TVR, got put on hold whilst he consulted his buddies. He came back and explained the it would not work in a TVR due to 'lack of insulation whilst on top of the dash' therefore picking up too many electrical signals from the motor.
So just got home and put the unit up by the mirror gave it a few revs and no alarm. Put it back on the dash and sure enough it went off when given some revs.
