10.2 Light Vehicle (LV) System
10.2.1 RF Detections and Alarms
10.2.1.1 Alarm Components
The Light Vehicle Unit comprises of the following alarm components:
Rotating Beacon Unit (optional)
• Mounted on roof of LV
• Activated (flashing) when HV detected (in gear) within the LV Detection Zone
• Provides HV driver with visual confirmation
Light Vehicle RF Unit (with external beacon option) (in lieu of Rotating Beacon Unit above)
• Mounted on roof of LV
• Optional external beacon / strobe activated (flashing) when HV detected (in gear)
within the LV Detection Zone
• Provides HV driver with visual confirmation
Light Vehicle Alarm Unit
• Dash mounted alarm unit
• Audible and visual alarms on HV detections
• Power indicator
10.2.1.2 RF Detection Zones and Ranges
The Light Vehicle Unit can be field programmed for a single Detection Zone with
programmable range / radius typically 0 – 80 m (+/- 20% accuracy).
Refer to sections 5 & 7 for more details on Detection Zones and Alarm Scenarios.
10.2.1.3 Alarm Process
1. Alarms are generated only when a HV (in gear) or TS is detected within the
programmed LV Detection Zone.
2. Only HV(s) (in gear) and TS(s) can generate LV alarms.
3. Alarm automatically cancels when the HV(s) or TS(s) move outside the LV Detection
Zone or HV out of gear.
