false alerts with LI?

[muledoe1]

In the past 2 weeks, I cross the American border into canada. At the stop light right i go onto the bridge, my LI alerts Traffic Patrol or LTI 20/20. Each time I look around, no police. The area is only a 25 mph side street. I am wondering has any one else had alerts like this? Could it be other cars?

If this occurs at the same location, this is very likely another non-LEO IR source that LI interprets as those LIDAR and simply is doing what it is supposed to do, alerting you.

I have had this happen on Edgewater Drive at Princeton Street in Orlando in the past, but no more. Only happened on Sundays, so I'm guessing it was an intrusion alarm in one of the nearby businesses which do not open on Sunday. It repeated every time I drove by, so I know it was not just some fluke event. Weird!

In in a slightly different false alarm position.

Alerts as a "Photo Camera Alert, slow down" - every time I accelerate hard.

VERY annoying.

Have turned off my Acceleating function to increase radio volume, still no joy.

Falses are often caused by EMI especially if they occur during acceleration and can also be caused by some car's electronics and if the CPU and or sensor wires is located to close to them. Again, try relocating the CPU and sensor wires further away from these EMI emitting electric devices such as cruise control, ECUs etc. Here are some possible remedies for EMI issue:

1) You can add a DC filter in the 12V line.

2) Be sure you have a good ground, direct to the battery is best or a drilled DC ground directly to the frame or steel body with a good self-tapping screw and star type lock washer.

3) Use Toroids on the 12v DC line like these on page 28 of this Catalog pdf:

as well as wrapping the sensor wires around one such as these:

MFJ Enterprises Inc.

You can also use the new communicator to:

1) Lower the Sensor Sensitivity progressively in steps to reduce falsing, starting with -1, then -2, then -3 and so on.

Let me know how this addresses your issues. If not, we will have to do some additional trouble shooting.
