3. Left-hand collision sensor: Collision sensors measure the distance from the preceding CAR and then
forward this information to the control electronics of the CAR. The CAR brakes as necessary.
4. Front collision sensor: See the description for the left-hand collision sensor.
5. Right-hand collision sensor: See the description for the left-hand collision sensor.
6. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs): These components indicate the operational status of the CAR.
On the track LED off: Indicates normal operation.
LED yellow:
– Blinks five times per second in a left curve.
– Blinks two times per second in a right curve.
LED red:
– Blinks one time per second if the charge status is 30% or
less.
– Blinks two times per second if the charge status is 20% or
less.
– Blinks five times per second if the charge status is 10% or
less.
– Illuminates steadily if the CAR has an error.
In the charge lane LED green: Illuminates or blinks one time per second if there is a
charge voltage and the lithium battery is fully charged.
LED yellow:
– Illuminates steadily during charging.
– Blinks one time per second when the charge voltage is
applied, but the lithium battery is no longer being charged
(< 4 V).
LED red:
– Blinks one time per second if the charge status is 30% or
less.
– Blinks two times per second if the charge status is 20% or
less.
– Blinks five times per second if the charge status is 10% or
less.
– Illuminates steadily if the CAR has an error.
7. Sample holder with clips: This component is nonremovable. The sample holder has four arms and
is plastic, accommodates a standard sample tube, and holds the sample tube in a fixed, vertical
position.
