Use and operation of the vehicle module
The vehicle module is used to warn the operator about an object equipped with ELOshield, which
breaches configurable zones around vehicle antenna modules (A) installed on a vehicle. Depending
on the configuration, the device will alert the user, switch the vehicle to the
creeping mode
, stop it
completely or perform other action depending on a device connected to the module outputs. Please
check with your vehicle manufacturer if this generally possible.
6.1
Operating modes
Interactions of ELOshield with a vehicle and its reactions to various events are fully configurable by
means of actions. The configuration method is described in chapter 8.11. However, the components
of ELOshield contain a default configuration as delivered, which configuration is characterized by
the following operating modes:
Normal – the default operating mode, when the device is switched on. Active warning and
alarming for all threat types. When an object appears in the alarm zone (red), relay 1 is
switched on. When an object appears in the warning zone (yellow), relay 2 is switched on.
The muting mode may be activated in three different modes:
o
Mode 1 – automatic muting of a vehicle without a driver
The mode is switched on automatically, when the digital input 1 is enabled.
In this mode, antennas installed on a vehicle are deactivated. Vehicle modules
installed on a vehicle maintain normal operation, and therefore other
vehicles in the vicinity are still being warned. The mode is switched off
automatically, when the digital input 1 is disabled. The digital input 1 should
be connected to the seat sensor. In this mode, pedestrians are not warned
about a vehicle, which does not pose a threat to them (the vehicle is stopped
without a driver).
o
Mode 2 – temporary deactivation of the ELOshield
system on a vehicle:
The mode is activated by pressing the Q button for at least 5 seconds. The
antenna and vehicle modules are deactivated in this mode, while other
vehicles and modules are not warned. The mode is deactivated, when:
The Q button is pressed;
When the configurable time elapses – from 0 seconds to 18 hours;
The digital input 1 (seat sensor) is deactivated.
o
Mode 3 – temporary muting of the alarm:
The mode is activated by pressing the Q button, when the digital input 1 is
deactivated (the driver seats). In this mode, the vehicle antenna modules (A)
and vehicle modules are active, relays and acoustic signaling are deactivated.
The mode will be automatically deactivated as conditions deteriorate (when
a new threat appears in the proximity) or when the configurable period
elapses – from 0 seconds to 18 hours or when the Q button is pressed. The
mode is used to mute the alarm or release the outputs in order to allow the
driver to exit the location, in which the alarm is triggered.
