Battery Request Troubleshooting:
If the ‘Requesting..’ indicator continues to blink for more than 10 seconds, operator should attempt to
move vehicle closer to a Gateway.
If operator is near a Gateway but the ‘Requesting..’ indicator blinks for more than 30 seconds, there is
most likely a problem with that Gateway. The operator should move to another Gateway or consider
proceeding with a manual swap. An administrator should be alerted to this condition.
If the ‘Requesting..’ indicator disappears, but no page arrives on the VAC for 30 seconds after the request
is submitted, the network is likely to be down, or the ARDCS is not running. The operator should
consider proceeding with a manual swap. An administrator should be alerted to this condition.
Security Module (Optional Module - All Users)
An optional module geared towards demands of high security installations analyzes individual vehicle use
and posts warnings on the ARDCS and on the vehicle when suspicious activities take place.
Using the high security module, system-wide “forbidden zones” can be set up using the Console (see
WANConsole User’s Guide) and also pre-programmed into the VAC. If any vehicle enters such a zone,
an alert will immediately be raised on the ARDCS (see ARDCS User’s Guide) and Graphical Viewer (see
WANConsole User’s Guide). In addition, an attached Security LED and on-screen text will indicate the
source of the security issue as follows:
Security Issue
LED Blink Rate
(repeated)
LCD Text
Gateway Location Prohibited Area
Fast Blink (Critical Issue)
S-Zone
VAC Out of Range
Slow Blink (Warning)

Access
Granting Temporary Access (Master Users)
A Master User is granted access to all vehicles in the system. In addition, a Master User can assign access
for a period of 24 hours to a driver in the system that is not authorized for a particular piece of equipment.
For example, if a trained forklift driver from the Receiving department needs to use a Shipping vehicle, a
Master User can temporarily grant access on the Shipping vehicle to the trained driver. Note: The driver
must already be a valid driver in the system to receive temporary access; unrecognized ID numbers will
still not be valid. The duration of temporary access is configurable (default: 12 hours; configurable prior
to shipping VACs).
