In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures. • The CAS-CAM/RF® System is a safety aid in providing the drivers of Heavy Vehicles, Light Vehicles and Personnel Tag users with additional information to make informed decisions in order to reduce the incidence of collisions. The system is not designed to be a stand-alone safety interlocking system that can give a false sense of protection and security, but still requires that all vehicle drivers and personnel still take every manual precaution to avoid the incidence of collisions. The system is designed as an aid to supplement and enhance existing safe work practices and procedures. • In the event of equipment malfunction, check the Troubleshooting section for remedial action. If not covered by this section, consult the AMT Service Agent. • To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the Heavy Vehicle Display Unit to rain or moisture. • To avoid electrical shock, do not open the electrical equipment enclosures. There are no user serviceable parts located inside the equipment items. Refer servicing to the AMT Service Agent. • To maintain clear camera vision on the Heavy Vehicle Display Unit, the user is recommended to regularly clean the build up of foreign material from the camera unit window. Cleaning can best be conducted with a window cleaning spray and cloth. Approved access methods must be used when cleaning cameras located at heights. • The audible alarms contained within the Heavy Vehicle Display Unit, Light Vehicle Dash Alarm Unit and Mobile Plant & Equipment Dash Alarm Unit must not be blocked with foreign objects in order to reduce alarm sound levels as this is the
Collision Avoidance System: CAS-CAM/RF® Operating Instructions Document Number: CAS-CAM_RF Operating Instructions (with FCC precautions)_18June2010.doc Page 12 of 126 Issue: E primary means of notifying drivers of potential collisions. Consult the AMT Service Agent if you wish to adjust the alarm sound levels to suit the ambient noise levels of the particular installation. Additionally for the above reason, the Light Vehicle Dash Alarm Unit and Mobile Plant & Equipment Dash Alarm Unit must not be disconnected during normal operation. • The visual alarms contained on the Heavy Vehicle Display Unit Screen, Light Vehicle Dash Alarm Unit and Mobile Plant & Equipment Dash Alarm Unit should not be covered over with foreign objects in order to reduce night vision glare, as this is the secondary means of notifying drivers of potential collisions (the primary means being the audible alarms). The brightness level can be switched to a low setting on the Heavy Vehicle Display Unit Screen by activating ‘DIM’ mode (refer to section 10.1.8). The intensity of the Power On LED indicators on both equipment items and the Light Vehicle Dash Alarm Unit and Mobile Plant & Equipment Dash Alarm Unit ‘alarm’ LED indicators have been set at low intensity levels suited for both day and night visibility. • This equipment generates random low power radio frequency emissions (license exempt) for automatic object detection using RF tagging (CAS-RF®) and could interfere with existing radio communication devices even though classified as a ‘Low Interference Potential Device’ (LIPD). If this is the case, contact the AMT Service Agent for further investigation. Operating frequencies may need to be changed to cater for existing radio communication spectrum usage for the particular application. Similarly, the CAS-RF® equipment may not be immune to interference by other higher power radio communication devices present on site. 1.3 Installation • Only AMT Service Agents are to carry out installations. Non-approved installations will automatically void the warranty conditions. 1.4 Repairs • Only AMT Service Agents are to carry out repairs. Non-approved repairs will automatically void the warranty conditions. • Do not remove equipment item covers. There are no user serviceable parts located inside the equipment items.
Collision Avoidance System: CAS-CAM/RF® Operating Instructions Document Number: CAS-CAM_RF Operating Instructions (with FCC precautions)_18June2010.doc Page 13 of 126 Issue: E 2 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 2.1 Introduction Since the advent of large mining trucks there has been an ongoing problem with collisions resulting from poor external vision and limited maneuverability. This has resulted in a very high incidence of accidents where large mining trucks collide with other vehicles, items of plant and occasionally people. Over the last 10 years in Australian open cut coal mines in the states of New South Wales and Queensland, 147 collisions have been reported involving large mining equipment. Of these, a large proportion has been the result of poor visibility (see Figure 1). Remarkably there have been few fatalities but property damage and lost productivity has been significant. The only protection against collisions in the blind areas of a truck at the moment are procedural or "soft" barriers, such as no-go zones for Light Vehicles, standard parking and start-up procedures, and audible reversing alarms. Even with these procedural controls and noisy reversing alarms in place, the problem of Heavy Vehicle collisions has not been eliminated. In addition to the requirement for an improved collision avoidance system, the noise from these smart reversing alarms have recently come under review in mines operating in close proximity to residential areas. Even if the Heavy Vehicle driver could be provided with 360 degree unlimited vision around the Heavy Vehicle, this would still not be adequate because of the vehicle size. The driver would only be able to ‘look’ in a limited number of directions at once with the potential for also creating distractions from safe driving. An improved approach is to provide enhanced driver vision supplemented by an automatic detection system that looks in all high risk directions at once, identifies potential problems and attracts the driver’s attention to those areas where potential collisions could occur. In addition, a further level of effectiveness is to provide warning information to both the Heavy Vehicle driver and the objects/personnel at risk, as any hazardous situation involving two parties, in which one party does not have the ability to take action, is inherently unsafe. As part of the ongoing commitment to improving safety and productivity through the application of innovative technology, Advanced Mining Technologies (AMT) in conjunction with CSIRO Exploration and Mining has developed such a Collision Avoidance System (CAS) aimed at greatly improving Heavy Vehicle safety and eliminating the need for audible reversing alarms. The CAS technology utilises state of the art colour video cameras with an LCD video Display Unit as a vision aid (CAS-CAM®) and Radio Frequency (RF) transmitters and receivers for automatic object proximity detection and classification (CAS-RF®).

Collision Avoidance System: CAS-CAM/RF® Operating Instructions Document Number: CAS-CAM_RF Operating Instructions (with FCC precautions)_18June2010.doc Page 19 of 126 Issue: E 3 BASIC SYSTEM OPERATION The CAS technology offers significant benefits in the safety and productivity of both surface and underground mining operations by eliminating Heavy Vehicle blind spots using a combination of high-resolution colour cameras and automatic object detection using active Radio Frequency (RF) tagging of ‘AT RISK’ objects / personnel. Objects types that can be fitted with RF tags include Heavy Vehicles, Light Vehicles, Stationary Objects, Mobile Plant & Equipment and Personnel (currently under development). Object detection zones ('safety bubbles') can be programmed from 0 - 80m range (long range option for 200 - 300m range). Heavy Vehicles fitted with camera only systems can be seamlessly upgraded to include the RF tagging capability. The colour video display in the Heavy Vehicle also functions as an alarm panel which automatically alerts the driver to the presence of the type and number of objects detected in either the front or rear or side detection zones. Cameras can be programmed to automatically switch to front or rear cameras either on gear changes and / or automatic object detections. Heavy Vehicle reversing sirens can also be switched off when Heavy Vehicles and other 'AT RISK' objects / personnel are protected with the RF tags. The system also provides 2-way alarming between the Heavy Vehicle and the ‘AT RISK’ objects / personnel, as any hazardous situation involving two parties, in which one party does not the ability to action, is inherently unsafe. Only objects tagged as Heavy Vehicles generate alarms as they create the greatest risk of collision with other objects due to size and blind spots.

The Heavy Vehicle also has high quality colour video cameras and a high definition colour LCD video Display Unit. The camera video images and RF tagging alarms, in text format, are simultaneously displayed on the Display Unit inside the Heavy Vehicle driver’s cabin. The video camera is housed in a ruggedised enclosure and produces full colour vision down to 0.03 lux illumination. Camera settings such as brightness and colour can be set for each individual camera at the time of installation. Up to six (6) cameras can be attached to the Display Unit (2 directly, 4 via an Expansion Unit). User programmable camera functions include: DIM (brightness settings) and manual camera switching. Additional programmable camera settings fixed at the time of installation include: Camera titles (8 characters maximum), mirror / normal mode, auto switching to reverse / forward camera when vehicle either engages reverse / forward gear or when RF detections are recorded at the rear / front, camera cycling at variable rates. All settings are saved during power down. The Radio Frequency system transmits digitally coded data such as tag identification number, tag type, vehicle status and tag status. This is crucial to the system’s ability to discriminate when multiple tags are detected of various object classes. A high quality, license exempt, digital RF link is used with full error control. Personnel Tags (under development) are mounted on a safety vest and operate on rechargeable batteries.

Collision Avoidance System: CAS-CAM/RF® Operating Instructions Document Number: CAS-CAM_RF Operating Instructions (with FCC precautions)_18June2010.doc Page 34 of 126 Issue: E 5 SYSTEM OPERATION 5.1 General The Heavy Vehicle will detect any tagged object within a pre-designated Detection Zone that can be programmed at the time of installation. The RF tags transmit an identification code that is deciphered by the Heavy Vehicle RF unit(s) and is classified into various object classes, i.e. Light Vehicle (LV), Personnel Tag (PT), Stationary Object (SO), other Heavy Vehicle (HV) or Test Station (TS). The number of RF tags detected in each object class is displayed on the video monitor for both front and rear detections (refer to Figure 35 for the screen layout). The Heavy Vehicle unit also conducts initial and continuous self-checks to detect equipment malfunctions, which are reported to the driver on the Display Unit. The reversing siren circuit can be enabled as a fail-safe backup in the event of equipment failure or when an object is detected at the rear within the programmed detection zone. The Heavy Vehicle is continually receiving and transmitting signals that are detected by the Personal Tags (PT), Light Vehicle (LV), Heavy Vehicle (HV), Stationary Object (SO) or Test Station (TS) RF tags. When in the Heavy Vehicle Detection Zone (and HV in gear), the Light Vehicle tags flash lights and sound an audible alarm in the cab. Tagged Stationary Objects and Test Stations flash lights for driver identification. The driver is provided with the number of each class of obstacle within the Heavy Vehicle’s Detection Zone, on the Display Unit. Only when the Heavy Vehicle is in gear will the audible alarm in the Display Unit sound when any objects have been detected within the Heavy Vehicle Detection Zone. Heavy Vehicle visual and audible alarms are fully programmable in the Display Unit for each object class (HV, LV, SO, PT, TS), based on range, HV detection location (front / rear / sides), direction of travel (forward / park / reverse) and speed. All RF tags have a unique ID code that is logged when detected by either a Heavy Vehicle, Light Vehicle, Stationary Object, Mobile Plant & Equipment, Test Station or Personnel units. Collision detection data can be retrieved by either a Fleet Management System or Laptop PC for safety audit trail purposes. The system has been designed to enable the installation of the CAS in it’s entirety (CAS-CAM/RF®) or the high-resolution colour video system (CAS-CAM®) as a stand-alone product, with the necessary in-built smarts to install the RF interface (CAS-RF®) at a later stage, should the user so desire.

The AMT CAS-CAM/RF® system alerts both HV drivers to the presence of both vehicles (within a programmed detection range) using both audible & visual alarms. The front HV Display Unit also switches to the REAR camera for visual confirmation and the rear HV Display Unit switches to the FRONT camera. Heavy Vehicle (HV) to Heavy Vehicle (HV): stationary to reverse operation where the reversing HV drives into the other HV due to blind spots. The AMT CAS-CAM/RF® system alerts both HV drivers’ to the presence of both vehicles (within a programmed detection range) using both audible & visual alarms. The Display Unit on the reversing HV also switches to the REAR camera for visual confirmation. 6.2 Heavy Vehicle (HV) to Light Vehicle (LV) collision avoidance (covers forward, reverse and overtaking scenarios) Heavy Vehicle (HV) to Light Vehicle (LV): stationary to forward operation where the HV drives over the LV due to blind spots. The AMT CAS-CAM/RF® system alerts both the HV driver and LV driver to the presence of both vehicles (within a programmed detection range) using both audible & visual alarms. The HV Display Unit also switches to the FRONT camera for visual confirmation. Heavy Vehicle (HV) to Light Vehicle (LV): stationary to reverse operation where the HV drives over the LV due to blind spots. The AMT CAS-CAM/RF® system alerts both the HV driver and LV driver to the presence of both vehicles (within a programmed detection range) using both audible & visual alarms. The HV Display Unit also switches to the REAR camera for visual confirmation. LV to HV overtaking scenario: LV overtakes HV without radio call-up and the HV turns right driving over the LV with fatal consequences. The AMT CAS-CAM/RF® system alerts both the HV driver and LV driver to the presence of both vehicles (within a programmed detection range) using both audible & visual alarms. The HV Display Unit also switches to the REAR / FRONT camera for visual confirmation as the LV moves from the HV Rear to HV Front detection zone.

The AMT CAS-CAM/RF® system alerts all vehicle drivers to each other’s presence (within a programmed detection range = swing radius + safety margin) using both audible & visual alarms. The Dragline / Shovel operator should not commence a swing cycle if another vehicle is detected within the programmed detection zone. 6.4 Heavy Vehicle (HV) to Stationary Object (SO) collision avoidance (e.g. fixed plant & equipment) e.g. Dozer reversing or traming forward drives into Stationary Object (e.g. lighting tower) due to blind spots. The AMT CAS-CAM/RF® system alerts the HV driver to the presence of the RF tagged light tower (within a programmed detection range) using both audible & visual alarms. SO beacons are also activated when the Dozer is within the programmed detection range for visual confirmation using the rear camera. 6.5 Heavy Vehicle to Haul Road Crossing / Merging Collision Scenario Haul Road Crossing / Merging Alarms activated by approaching Heavy Vehicles fitted with RF tags. HV to LV haul road crossing / merging scenario: HV approaching road crossing / merger and collides with LV due to LV not being aware of approaching HV. The AMT CAS-CAM/RF® system alerts both the HV driver and LV driver to the presence of both vehicles (within a programmed detection range) using both audible & visual alarms. The HV unit activates at longer range (200-300m) a set of road crossing lights warning LV’s of an approaching HV. HV to HV haul road crossing / merging scenario: HV approaching road crossing / merger and collides with other HV due to HV not being aware of other approaching HV. The AMT CAS-CAM/RF® system alerts both HV drivers to each others presence (within a programmed detection range) using both audible & visual alarms. The HV units activate at longer range (200-300m) a set of road crossing lights warning other HV’s / LV’s of an approaching HV.
Collision Avoidance System: CAS-CAM/RF® Operating Instructions Document Number: CAS-CAM_RF Operating Instructions (with FCC precautions)_18June2010.doc Page 40 of 126 Issue: E 6.6 Heavy Vehicle to other RF tagged Vehicles Collision Avoidance Due to Driver Fatigue General fatigue management: the Heavy Vehicle Display Unit can be programmed as a fatigue-monitoring unit where periodic alarms need to be actioned within a specified response time. All fatigue alarms and operator reactions are data logged (along with RF tag detections) for compliance monitoring & provides a safety audit trail in the event of an incident (drivers are less likely to breach procedures knowing that vigilance methods are being monitored). The CAS system RF tag audible alarms also act to combat fatigue. HV to HV haul road collision due to driver fatigue: HV approaching another HV traveling on opposite side of haul road collides with the oncoming HV due to driver fatigue and driver not being aware of approaching HV and / or not maintaining adequate clearance. The AMT CAS-CAM/RF® system alerts both HV drivers to each other’s presence (within a programmed detection range up to 200-300m with long-range RF option) using both audible & visual alarms. A new extension to the CAS-CAM/RF® technology is a Guidance Laser System (CAS-GLS®). The CAS-GLS® is a new remote sensing technology fitted to surface mining road haulage equipment (e.g. Haul Trucks) that will automatically detect the presence of the edge of the road (windrow), calculate the distance from the side of the Haul Truck to the start of the windrow and report to the driver when the vehicle is operating within nominated corridors (too close to edge – normal – warning - danger) using both visual and audible indicators. Visual indication of whether an approaching Haul Truck is within or outside of the nominated corridors is also provided for the benefit of oncoming Haul Trucks. The GLS assists in managing driver fatigue by alerting both the vehicle driver and oncoming vehicle when the vehicle is not operating within specified safe corridors for both passing and normal driving operations. This is particularly important when mines upgrade to larger payload capacity vehicles resulting in wider vehicles operating within reduced safe operating corridors on existing haul roads. The GLS can be operated either stand-alone or integrated with the CAS-CAM/RF® Display Unit in the driver’s cabin to provide a fully integrated Collision Avoidance System using a combination of high quality colour cameras and active RFID tags with programmable detection zones for automatic object detection. 6.7 Other Applications There are numerous other Collision Avoidance Applications involving Heavy Vehicles (with blind spots) interacting with other Heavy Vehicles, Light Vehicles, Stationary Objects, Personnel and other Mobile Plant & Equipment. Refer to Section 7.6 for typical surface mining Collision Scenarios and CAS Solutions.
Collision Avoidance System: CAS-CAM/RF® Operating Instructions Document Number: CAS-CAM_RF Operating Instructions (with FCC precautions)_18June2010.doc Page 41 of 126 Issue: E 6.8 Additional Benefits from Camera Only installations (CAS-CAM®) Heavy Vehicle Reversing Operations – side view cameras provide a wider field of view than existing side view mirrors, offering greatly improved visibility and awareness of surroundings. Rear View camera eliminates known rear blind spots that have directly attributed to fatalities in the surface mining industry. Heavy Vehicle Forward Operations – front view camera eliminates known front blind spots (typically out to 5-10m on larger rear dump trucks) that have directly attributed to fatalities in the surface mining industry. Dozer reversing operations – operator experiences neck & back strain due to repetitive turning / twisting during reversing operations. Can be alleviated using rear view camera system. Load Placement - Rear Dump Truck leading tyre breaks through berm during reversing operations for load dumping, placing vehicle at risk of flipping over edge when bed is raised during dumping. Can be prevented using wide angle rear camera showing the location of the rear tyres in relation to the berm in order to square the truck. The rear & blind-side cameras are also helpful in lining up the truck with a Shovel during loading operations. Backing to Berms - Rear Dump Truck reverses over rock causing tyre and / or vehicle damage. Can be prevented by using rear and blind side-view cameras to detect the presence of rocks before reversing. Confirming Load Completion – rear camera can be used to determine when the bed is empty during dumping as the driver can see when the material stops falling from the bed so they can determine when they can start off again. Without a rear view camera, drivers would allow the bed to stay raised longer because they could not tell if the bed was completely empty. Confirming Load Completion reduces turn-around time and increases productivity as well as reducing the time the truck is backed up. Keeping the Berm Intact – using the rear camera, the truck driver can partially raise the bed of the truck during dumping so the bed doesn’t damage the berm. Automatic Switching of Cameras on gearing – system automatically switches to front or rear camera on gearing assisting the operator in assessing objects ‘at-risk’ before vehicle motion. The system can also automatically switch to front or rear camera on RF tagged object detections at either the front or rear of the vehicle. Where objects are detected at both the front and rear, the camera switches to the direction of vehicle travel. Note: • Elimination of Heavy Vehicle blind spots using camera systems (CAS-CAM®) significantly reduces the risk of collision with other vehicles, mobile and fixed plant & equipment, personnel and objects. However, the Heavy Vehicle operator cannot always be watching the camera Display Unit whilst focusing on the task of machine
Collision Avoidance System: CAS-CAM/RF® Operating Instructions Document Number: CAS-CAM_RF Operating Instructions (with FCC precautions)_18June2010.doc Page 42 of 126 Issue: E operation. Hence, the risk of collision is further reduced using the Automatic Object Detection capability of the RF tagging (CAS-RF®), thereby offering a high level of protection and redundancy in a complete standalone package. • The CAS-CAM/RF® System is a safety aid in providing the drivers of Heavy Vehicles, Light Vehicles and Personnel Tag users with additional information to make informed decisions in order to reduce the incidence of collisions. The system is not designed to be a stand-alone safety interlocking system that can give a false sense of protection and security, but still requires that all vehicle drivers and personnel still take every manual precaution to avoid the incidence of collisions and to comply with existing work place procedures. The system is designed as an aid to supplement and enhance existing safe work practices and procedures.

Collision Avoidance System: CAS-CAM/RF® Operating Instructions Document Number: CAS-CAM_RF Operating Instructions (with FCC precautions)_18June2010.doc Page 70 of 126 Issue: E 10.1.11 RF Detections and Alarms 10.1.11.1 Alarm Display The top two lines of the Heavy Vehicle Display Unit are reserved as the alarm display for both FRONT and REAR RF detections (refer to Figure 35). This relies on the Heavy Vehicle being fitted with the CAS-RF® option where RF Units are fitted to either the REAR only or FRONT and REAR of the vehicle for automatic object detection. The objects detected are sorted into the following classes: • Heavy Vehicle (HV) or Mobile Plant & Equipment (HV) • Light Vehicle (LV) • Stationary Object (SO) • Personnel Tag (PT) • Test Station (TS) The number of objects detected in each class is also displayed. A sample of the object detection alarm display for both a FRONT and REAR detection CAS-RF system is as follows (refer to Figure 35 for screen layout): FRONT: HV 1 LV 1 SO 1 PT 2 TS REAR: HV2 The above alarm display indicates that the following object types and numbers were detected within the Heavy Vehicle Front and Rear Detection Zones: FRONT: detected 1 x Heavy Vehicle (HV), 1 x Light Vehicle (LV), 1 x Stationary Object (SO), 2 x Personnel Tags (PT) and 1 x Test Station (TS) REAR: detected 2 x Heavy Vehicles 10.1.11.2 RF Detection Ranges The Heavy Vehicle FRONT and REAR RF Units can be field programmed for adjustable RF Detection Ranges (typically 0 – 80 m +/- 20% accuracy). Front and Rear RF Detection Ranges and alarm conditions based on direction of travel can be different for each object types (e.g. HV, LV, SO, PT, TS) in order to suit the particular application. The audible alarm (if enabled) is a pulsed alarm (typically 0.5Hz). Refer to sections 5 & 7 for more details on Detection Zones and Alarm Scenarios. 10.1.11.3 Alarm Process • new objects detected within the programmed RF Detection Range(s) can generate alarms or existing objects previously detected will re-trigger alarms on a gear change • object detections generate an audible alarm if programmed • The number and class of objects detected are displayed on the top two lines of the Display Unit screen for both FRONT and REAR RF units (where fitted)
Collision Avoidance System: CAS-CAM/RF® Operating Instructions Document Number: CAS-CAM_RF Operating Instructions (with FCC precautions)_18June2010.doc Page 71 of 126 Issue: E • A new object detected is highlighted by blinking the text and enabling the audible alarm (if programmed) • The audible alarm will only silence when either the Operator presses the ‘CONFIRM’ key or when the object originally detected moves out of the Detection Range • Only active detections are shown on the Display Unit screen (i.e. blank Display when there are no detections) • Alarms are generated on high risk changes only (i.e. new object moves into detection zone or Heavy Vehicle changes gear) • No alarm is generated when the object moves out of the Detection Range 10.1.11.4 Heavy Vehicle Reverse Mode • Fully programmable detection ranges and audible alarms for different object types (e.g. HV, LV, SO, PT, TS) based on vehicle gear status (i.e. forward, reverse, park) and detection location (i.e. front or rear) Refer to section 7 for more details on HV Alarm Scenarios. 10.1.11.5 Heavy Vehicle Forward Mode • Fully programmable detection ranges and audible alarms for different object types (e.g. HV, LV, SO, PT, TS) based on vehicle gear status (i.e. forward, reverse, park) and detection location (i.e. front or rear) Refer to section 7 for more details on HV Alarm Scenarios. 10.1.11.6 Heavy Vehicle Stationary (neutral) Mode • Fully programmable detection ranges and audible alarms for different object types (e.g. HV, LV, SO, PT, TS) based on vehicle gear status (i.e. forward, reverse, park) and detection location (i.e. front or rear) Refer to section 7 for more details on HV Alarm Scenarios. 10.1.11.7 Operator Confirmation of Alarms The Heavy Vehicle Operator is encouraged to acknowledge the presence of new objects detected by visually confirming the object presence in the appropriate camera view and then pressing the ‘CONFIRM’ key. This action cancels the audible alarm and is logged along with all detections with time and date stamped into non-volatile memory. To assist the Operator in the visual confirmation of new CAS-RF® alarms, the Display Unit can be programmed at the time of installation to automatically switch to either the FRONT or REAR camera depending on the source of the CAS-RF® alarm (e.g. REAR RF detections will cause the Display Unit to automatically switch to the REAR camera and similarly FRONT RF detections will cause the Display Unit to automatically switch to the FRONT camera). Camera switching is disabled until alarms are confirmed by pressing the ‘CONFIRM’ key.

There are no user serviceable parts located inside the equipment items. • Ensure that the Heavy Vehicle Display Unit rear panel ventilation holes are not obstructed for efficient natural convection cooling. • The audible alarm contained within the Heavy Vehicle Display Unit must not be blocked with foreign objects in order to reduce alarm sound levels as this is the primary means of notifying drivers of potential collisions. Consult the AMT Service Agent if you wish to adjust the alarm sound levels to suit the ambient noise levels of the particular installation. • The visual alarms contained on the Heavy Vehicle Display Unit Screen should not be covered over with foreign objects in order to reduce night vision glare as this is the secondary means of notifying drivers of potential collisions (the primary means being the audible alarms). The brightness level can be switched to the lowest setting on the Heavy Vehicle Display Unit Screen by using the DIM function (refer to section 10.1.8 for details). The intensity of the LED power indicators on both equipment items and the Light Vehicle alarm LED indicator have been set at low intensity levels suited for both day and night visibility. 15.1.2 Pre-Operation Inspection External Checks • Visually check that all cameras are clean and are orientated correctly. Clean and adjust if necessary. • Visually check that all equipment items and wiring harnesses are secure. 15.1.3 Startup Inspection • Check the clarity of the Display Unit screen and where visibility is affected, clean with a window cleaning spray and soft cloth. Ensure that the cleaning process doesn’t scratch the screen cover or result in cleaning fluid entering the rear ventilation holes. • Inspect the clarity of vision from each camera on the Heavy Vehicle Display Unit and where affected by the build up of foreign material, clean the camera unit window with a window cleaning spray and cloth. Approved access methods must only be used when cleaning cameras located at heights. • Scroll thru all active camera channels to check operation • Check that no error messages are displayed (refer to section 16.2 ‘System Error Messages’ for details). • When operating at daytime, check that DIM function has been set for maximum brightness (refer to section 10.1.8 for details).
