Hyper-Alert™ Compact Flash Technology (Optional)
Hyper-Alerts™ are compact clusters of LED lights built right into the “Your Speed” faceplate of the TC-600 model, delivering an ‘impossible to ignore’ speeder alert in a significantly more compact solution than traditional beacons. By clustering the LEDs into a smaller footprint, the same light from a typical flasher becomes an urgent notification for the driver. Hyper-Alerts™ can be included as an option with new sign purchases, or retrofitted into existing Model TC-600 radar speed signs.
