Section 105a.4 - System and speed timing device use and certification

(a) Minimum requirements. A system administrator and system operator must only use a system meeting the minimum requirements of § 105a.3 (relating to system and speed timing device minimum requirements).

(b) Proof of training. A system operator shall complete training offered by the manufacturer of the system, including training on any devices critical to the operation of the system, or the manufacturer's representative in the procedures for setting up, testing and operating a system. Upon completion of the training, the manufacturer or manufacturer's representative shall issue a signed certificate to the system device operator, which shall be admitted as evidence in any court proceeding for a violation involving a system device.

(c) Daily log. A system device operator shall fill out and sign a daily log for a system, which:

(d) Annual calibration check . A system device shall undergo an annual calibration check performed by a calibration laboratory. As part of the annual calibration check, each speed timing device used in a system shall be calibrated and tested to meet one of the following standards:

(e) Approved calibration laboratories. Approved calibration laboratories shall be the speed timing device calibration stations appointed by the Department under 67 Pa. Code §§ 105.1-105.95.

(f) Annual system inspection . An annual inspection of the system must be performed by an approved calibration laboratory to confirm through field testing that a system meets the manufacturer's specifications and the minimum requirements of § 105a.3. The annual system inspection may be conducted concurrent with an annual calibration check authorized under subsection (d).

(g) Certificates of calibration and inspection. The calibration laboratory shall issue a signed certificate of calibration after the annual calibration check, which shall be kept on file and shall be admitted as evidence in any proceeding for a violation involving a system device. An approved calibration laboratory must also issue a certificate of annual system inspection confirming that a system meets the manufacturer's specifications and the minimum requirements of § 105a.3.

(h) Verification. The notice of violation must include written verification that the system was operating correctly at the time of the alleged violation and the date of the most recent inspection that confirms the system to be operating properly. A system administrator or system operator shall include the then-current certificates of calibration and inspection required under subsection (g) and the daily log required under subsection (c) with the written verification.
