General Announcements.
When the Novus Delta Plus unit is switched on it will give an active chime and in
‘Normal Mode’ only it will announce “Fasten Seat Belt”. It will flash the internal
database version information in the display window, then show the current time.
The unit will also begin to search for GPS satellites. If the vehicle is parked under
cover this will extend the time taken to find satellites.
In ‘Normal Mode’ the Novus Delta Plus unit will make a time announcement
whilst flashing the time at the top of each hour. The time displayed will
automatically adjust for British Summer Time and Greenwich Mean Time.
As a safety feature in ‘Normal Mode’ only the Novus Delta Plus unit will make
a voice announcement and flash the display after every two hours of
continuous operation asking the driver to consider taking a rest.
The Novus Delta Plus unit will not give the ‘System active’, ‘Time check’ or
‘Two hour alert’ announcements in ‘CAM’ mode.
Warnings of Fixed/Mobile camera sites.
The Novus Delta Plus unit will warn of fixed or mobile camera sites in both
‘NORMAL’ or ‘CAM’ mode.
When the Novus Delta Plus unit is tracking satellites it will display the current time
when the vehicle is stationary and the current speed (mph) when the vehicle is
moving. If the display does not indicate the vehicle speed, then the unit is not yet
tracking sufficient satellites. This may be due to high rise buildings, or trees, etc, or
it could be that the vehicle is fitted with a UV coated windscreen which blocks not
only the Sun’s UV rays, but GPS signals also. See Troubleshooting section for
details.
If the Novus Delta Plus unit does not display the vehicle speed after 5 to 10
minutes of operation then consider resetting the unit.
Drivers should be aware that the sites designated for fixed and mobile camera
operation are chosen because of a history of accidents in the area. Care should
be exercised in these areas regardless of the presence of a camera.
As a vehicle approaches a Fixed, Mobile, Red Light or SPECS (average speed
over distance) site, the general principles of operation are the same.
The Novus Delta Plus unit will make an initial announcement indicating the
type of site, the speed limit and the distance to the site ahead.
