MPH
Industries Python®
Series III Moving Radar System
The classic
Python radar system has been completely redesigned for the 21st
century. The smaller readout unit has a completely new look,
with bigger, easier-to-read displays. The K-band antenna unit is
the smallest on the market. The simple remote control still
allows you to keep your eyes on the road where they should be
instead of fishing for buttons. The new Python accepts MPH's
speedometer interface module, the only one that doesn't force
you to modify your cruiser. The radar is also availabe in a "FS"
model with fastest vehicle and same direction modes.
Special
Features:
-
Python utilizes true Digital Signals Processing (real DSP),
which allows it to monitor all targest in the radar beam
simultaneously. Inferior techniques, which are simply
advanced analog processing methods masquerading as DSP,
cannot match the performance of the Python.
-
Python is the simplest traffic radar available. No moving
radar ever designed can match the Python's simplicity. The
remote control is not crowded with infrequently used
functions, so the radar operator doesn't have to take
his/her eyes off the road. The pushbuttons on the readout
unit are clearly labeled and can be operated with gloved
hands.
-
Python contains MPH's exclusive high-quality Doppler audio.
This court-proven veature is a true indicator of the quality
of the target's return signal. The volume increases when the
signal strenght increases, and any interfering targets that
are present become apparent immediately.
- The
reliability and accuracy of the Python are guaranteed by MPH
Industries. The Python also conforms to NHTSA radar
specifications.
General
Specifications:
-
Power
10.8 to 16.5 Volts, 0.9 Amps 13.6 V nominal. Fused cord and
reverse polarity protection.
-
Operating modes and speed ranges
The basic Python Series III is equipped with stationary mode and
opposite-direction moving mode software. As an option, you may
purchase the "FS" version of the radar, which adds fastest
vehicle mode and same direction moving mode to the radar. Both
versions also accept MPH's speedometer interface module. The
speedometer interface gets approximate vehicle speed information
from the patrol vehicle and uses it to help the radar make
decisions about the correct patrol speed. When it is used, the
radar's City/Highway mode is selected automatically by the
radar, based on the speedometer speed. The Python is also
capable of higher patrol speeds when the speedometer interface
is used.
-
Target Distance
One mile range typical for an average size vehicle. Range varies
with vehicle size, terrain, weather, and traffic conditions.
- Speed
Display
Three LED windows simultaneously display patrol, target, and
locked speeds. Display brightness automatically adjusts to the
ambient light level. All speed displays are 0.4 inches tall.
-
Readout Size
1.6 inches High, 6.5 inches Wide, 4.9 inches Deep.
-
Antennas
All antenna modules consist of a circularly polarized, seamless,
conical horn antenna and shatterproof microwave lens, contained
in a rugged cylindrical aluminum housing. |

The
Python®
Series III Moving Radar operates from stationary or moving
patrol vehicles, and uses the well known and
legally-acceptable Doppler principle. The radar has been
type accepted by the FCC and conforms to all NHTSA
specifications. Python is available in X, K, or Ka-band. |
