CAS GPS User Manual
12.3.1.8 Using the Display
On Vehicle Start-up
Immediately after starting the vehicle and before putting it into motion; perform a quick check of the Display’s
status bar. Check that none of the icons are Red, if so your CAS GPS system is not functioning correctly and
its operation cannot be assured!
Before engaging gear (and in addition to your normal safety procedures), use the Display to gain further
awareness of other nearby CAS GPS equipped vehicles. These vehicles will be displayed as icons on your
screen each representing their type of vehicle, vehicle ID, speed, distance and direction of travel.
If a nearby vehicle’s beams are overlapping your vehicles beam an audible alarm will be sounded. Only
when your vehicle is stationary may you silence the alarm by touching anywhere on the screen.
Vehicle in Motion
When your vehicle is moving you can operate using your normal safe operating procedures. The Display will
sound an alarm to gain your attention if there is another vehicle that is getting too close. A quick glance at the
display will show the location, type, ID, heading and speed of other vehicles. You cannot silence the alarm
while your vehicle is moving!
Night Operations
A light sensor in the Display will put the screen into Night Mode when the ambient light level drops below a
preconfigured level. In night mode the screen will change from a white to a black background, this keeps the
brightness down so that the screen will not become a distraction during night operations.
Daytime Operations
A light sensor in the Display will put the screen into Daytime Mode when the ambient light level rises above a
preconfigured level. In Daytime mode the screen will change from a black to a white background, this makes the
information displayed on the screen easy to read in high ambient light levels.
