•
ACMA Radio Communications (Short Range Devices) Standard 2004
•
ES60950-1: 2001 ‘Information Technology Equipment – Safety – Part 1: General
Requirements’
•
ETSI EN 301 489-1 V1.8.1 (sections 9.2 and 9.6) ‘Electromagnetic compatibility and

Warning – this product is not to be operated within 20 cm of people (FCC
requirement)
Warning – this product is not to be modified from the Manufacturer’s standard
design as this will void manufacturer’s warranty and could impact Certifications.
Warning – This is a Class A product. 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

Operating Instructions
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

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®). The
combined video camera and RF technologies form the CAS-CAM/RF® System.

2.2 Performance Capabilities
The key performance capabilities of the CAS-CAM/RF® System are as follows:
• Warning to the driver of the Heavy Vehicle when a vehicle, personnel or stationary
object is in the Heavy Vehicle’s path (visual and audible warning when an object is
detected within a programmed detection range)
• Warning to the “AT-RISK” personnel / vehicles / equipment in the case of an imminent
collision when the Heavy Vehicle is detected within a programmed detection range
(visual and / or audible warning)
• Programmable detection ranges for different object types from 0 – 80 m (accuracy of
+/-20%). Option for long range operation (typically 200-300m) for haul road crossing
warning light activation by approaching Heavy Vehicle or Heavy Vehicle to Heavy
Vehicle haul road fatigue management ‘wake-up’ alarms.
• Improved vision for the driver (i.e. video cameras)
• Mechanism for driver acknowledgment of alarms
• Reversing Alarm activated when personnel / objects are within the programmed
detection range of the Heavy Vehicle when in the reverse direction (optional)
• Default to existing warning system by notifying the driver of the Heavy Vehicle when
the system is not working and automatically activates the traditional reversing alarm
• Rugged construction for reliability in mining environments
• Reliable operation in adverse environmental conditions (e.g. dust, fog, smoke, hot, cold
and darkness)
• System aids and doesn’t inhibit current mine operations
• Coded identification of objects within programmed detection range displayed at all
times (i.e. Heavy Vehicle (HV), Light Vehicle (LV), Stationary Object (SO) / Fixed Plant,
Personnel Tag (PT), Test Station (TS))
• Data logging capability on all Heavy Vehicles and Light Vehicles for monitoring /
recording system operational performance & logging all anti-collision detections as a
safety audit trail (optional).
• Easy integration with existing Mine Fleet Management Systems (e.g. Modular Mining,
Tritronics, WENCO etc) either via the Display Unit serial interface using MODBUS
protocol or via the Expansion Unit RS-485 or CAN interface. This allows the transfer of

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.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
4.1 Overview
Figure 2: System Function Diagram
The CAS-CAM/RF® system consists of Radio Frequency (RF) Tags for each person, Light
Vehicle, Heavy Vehicle and other items of value. 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.

4.8 Test Station (TS) System (PROD0241)
A Stationary Object (SO) Unit can be configured internally as a Test Station object type
(TS) for in-field testing of all mobile CAS tagged object types (e.g. Heavy Vehicle, Light
Vehicle, Stationary Object, Personnel Tags). Test Stations are designed to be alarmed by
and trigger alarms on all object types.
Test Stations would normally be installed in locations frequently passed by CAS RF
tagged objects (e.g. maintenance workshop, GO-LINE, refueling station etc) and serve to
provide regular functional two-way testing of all RF tagged objects. Solar power versions
are available for remote locations.
Test Stations (TS) are detected in the following manner by each CAS tagged object type:
•
Heavy Vehicle (HV)
o TS object text displayed on Display Unit for front and rear detections
o Normal object detection audible and visual alarms generated with
‘CONFIRM’ button operation
o TS beacon activated when HV detected inside programmed detection zone.
TS beacon switches OFF 3 seconds after HV moves outside programmed
detection zone.
•

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 (CASCAM/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.

COLLISION AVOIDANCE APPLICATIONS
Mine site collision avoidance applications for the CAS-CAM/RF® system are unlimited and
would typically cover:
6.1 Heavy Vehicle (HV) to Heavy Vehicle (HV) collision
avoidance
(e.g. Rear Dump Trucks, Loaders, Dozers, Graders, Shovels, Draglines, Excavators,
Water Trucks etc - covers forward, reverse and queuing scenarios)
HV to HV haul road queuing scenario: HV drives into rear of other HV either due to
fatigue or poor visibility. 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.

Collision Avoidance System: CAS-CAM/RF®
Operating Instructions
6.3 Dragline / Shovel to Cleanup Dozer / Trailing Cable
Handling Vehicle / Dump Truck collision avoidance
Vehicles remote to the Dragline / Shovel are damaged during swing cycles due to vehicles
being located in blind spots within the swing radius. 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 CASCAM/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.

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 (CASGLS®). 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.

6.8 Additional Benefits from Camera Only installations (CASCAM®)
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

Operating Instructions
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.

TYPICAL COLLISION AVOIDANCE SCENARIOS
7.1 General
Typical collision avoidance scenarios for an open-cut mine site include operation between
moving vehicles on haul roads, loading and dump sites, around high-wall and various
bench levels and around other mine site obstacles such as buildings, plant and equipment
etc.
A typical CAS-CAM/RF® system would be configured for front and rear and optional left &
right detection zones on all Heavy Vehicles, with fully programmable alarming for each
object type (based on distance, detection location, direction of travel and speed), and a
single detection zone on all Light Vehicles, Stationary Objects, Personnel Tags, Test
Stations and Mobile Plant & Equipment.
The system operation covers the following Heavy Vehicle – Light Vehicle and Heavy

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:
REAR:
HV 1 LV 1 SO 1 PT 2 TS
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)

Operating Instructions
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.

for confirmation before moving from start-up or
approving LV to overtake.
Time & date stamped safety audit trail
Track & manage HV-HV & HV-LV non-compliance
Data could be sent to Dispatch in real-time using
existing Fleet Management Systems
Eliminates night vision glare from beacon (originally
required for positive confirmation of LV by HV
operator. No longer required with Vehicle I.D. being
displayed on camera monitor)
Option to add external beacon of clients selection
(12VDC @ 5A maximum)
Close range detection and full coverage of ‘ATRISK’ objects at HV sides (Front & Rear RF Units
only provide partial blind-side detection at the
expense of long range detection directly in front or
behind).
Required for effective 360 degree close-range
‘start-up’ object detection
Eliminates HV-LV & HV-HV nuisance alarms above
preset speed on haul roads
Fully programmable alarming based on object type,
range, location (front/rear/sides), HV direction of
travel (forward/reverse) and now speed.
Long range RF unit (300m) used to detect HV
approaching road junction / intersection for
triggering warning lights for other vehicles.
