Why does my existing serial cable not work with the updated SpeedCheck controller?

This article details the two serial cable versions and which SpeedCheck controllers are supported.

Product applicability

The following products are discussed in this article:

  • SpeedCheck: SPEEDCHECK-15 and SPEEDCHECK-18 

With Applied Information option.

 

With the release of an updated controller in 2021 Q4 for the SPEEDCHECK-15 and SPEEDCHECK-18 radar speed signs we have also released an updated version of the serial cable used for remote connectivity with Applied Information. If you have received a new controller and have an existing configuration that utilizes the 10-pin serial cable you may need to replace the cable for the updated version.
