ENRADD EJU-91 Wireless System
www.yisinc.com Cogan Station 570-494-1150 www.policespeedtiming.com
Freedom to move
• Line of sight wireless range allows the officer to move away from the timing zone so they can observe traffic passing through the Non-Contact Road Switches with ease.
Easily deployed in “tough areas”
• All 4 sensors move independently allowing the officer to adjust the height needed for the area they are setting up in.
System also offers
• Over-Speed Limit – An audible tone will sound when a speed is displayed over the limit set by the officer.
• Able to clock a line/string of traffic – Unlike RADAR, the ENRADD wireless system will give you the speed of each vehicle, allowing for complete traffic enforcement & making the roads safer!

SPEED-TIMING TRAINING
EFFECTIVE-
Unique and exclusive video simulator training allows officers accurate, hands-on
training, with individualized instruction, in a controlled classroom environment. Training
certification helps assure that your officers know how to properly operate your
speed-timing equipment and gives the officer additional credibility in court.
ACCURATE-
Because we control the video simulation, the instructor is able to ensure that the officer
is developing the appropriate skills to effectively and accurately operate the
speed-timing equipment.
ECONOMICAL-
Portions of the training are self-guided or self-administered, so you only have to commit
your officers to a ½ day classroom session. The remainder of the skill building exercise
is done while the officer is on regular patrol duty, utilizing department equipment,
thereby maximizing the hours that you are paying your officers.
PROFESSIONAL-
With over 20 years experience in the speed-timing field ranging from calibration, repair
and training to product development and manufacturing along with some instructors
that have over 30 years of Law Enforcement experience, YIS/Cowden Group, Inc. will
give you high quality & professional training that no other company in the state can
provide.
YIS/Cowden Group, Inc.-
Provides Speed-Timing Device Operator Training for
all speed-timing devices
approved for use by Municipal Police in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
This includes: V-SPEC, VASCAR-Plus, Plus II, Plus III, Plus IIIc, Tracker, Robic Speed

Dear Valued Speedometer Customer,
YIS/Cowden Group, Inc. (YCG), as part of our mission statement, remains focused on changing
technology and working to adjust and adapt for you, our customer. As patrol vehicles have evolved, so has the challenges from a speed-timing perspective and it’s our goal to keep ahead of these challenges.
One such challenge has been speedometer calibrations: A few years ago it became apparent that the ability to do simple electronic speedometer calibrations was going to involve driving your vehicles at high rates of speed. This has become even more prevalent with the advent of pursuit rated AWD patrol vehicles. This took us back to our mission statement and our R&D began on the Speedometer Testing Platform (patent pending). We showed you a small sample at the PA Chief’s of Police Show in 2014 as we continued to invest our resources into the development and approval of a final solution. The day has come and the Speedometer Testing Platform (patent pending) has been approved by PennDOT and listed in PA Bulletin Vol 45 Num 28.
The Speedometer Testing Platform (patent pending) is safer for YOUR vehicles and OUR technicians, a benefit to both parties involved. The trade off is larger, more expensive equipment with more manpower needed to safely operate in a timely manner. With that said, there will be a price increase and changes going forward. As loyal YCG customers, this increase will be in a 2 step (2 year) transition, we are doing this as a thank you for your loyalty to us. Below is a picture of the new system; high tech and modular; designed and built by YCG and Powl’s Speedometer. New pricing and procedures will be sent to you soon for 2016.
YCG Mission Statement
“Our goal and mission is: To serve our customers with the highest degree of excellence and integrity; to provide the best possible service, equipment and training available; to remain focused on the
ever-changing technology that will affect our customers; to harness this technology and bring it to our customers in the form of new products and services.
