The LED brightness is automatically controlled based on ambient light, in order to provide
dimming for night operation.
The buzzer, with a maximum volume of 85dB (at 10cm distance), can be automatically controlled
based on ambient noise.
The image shows a display while the device is operating in a
vehicle, traveling forward (‘Reverse LED’, second from top, is
OFF) and a vehicle (equipped with another Hexagon CAS
device) is detected. The LED on in the 12 o’clock position
indicates the presence of a vehicle in front. Several colors and
sounds indicate different threat levels. Depending on the
distance to other vehicles and on the configuration parameters
an alarm might be audible. The center compass displays
direction and distance of vehicles within the RF transmitter /
receiver range but it also serves to display error codes in the case a system failure was detected.
The LEDs on the left side of the display show the status of the system. They indicate if the device
has enough power, has acceptable GNSS reception or is traveling backwards as well as other
information about the system.
Depending on the configuration, pushing the square button on the right of the display can trigger
three functions:
1. Flag special events in the unit’s log-file: for example an incident or a situation where the
user believes the system didn’t perform as expected.
2. Acknowledge an alarm: The operator can stop the warning sound for example when being
towed by another vehicle.
3. Pressing the button for 3 seconds or longer seconds will restart the QC1000 Smart
Antenna.
All alarms are indicated during a minimum of 1.5 seconds to allow the operator to see and react
to it. The alarm will stop once the threat is gone or if one of the two vehicles stops.
6.3 Installation of Displays
• The display should be positioned such that the front panel is in direct view of the Operator,
the acoustic warning tone can be heard loud and clearly and control button/touch display
can be operated easily.
• The view on the front panel may not be obstructed at any time.
• The display may never interfere with the operation of the vehicle (incl. emergency
procedures)
• Special attention is required to not reduce the operator’s field of view.
