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.
• Light Vehicle (LV)
o Distinct pulsed alarm (warble) on dash-mount Alarm Unit and Rotating
Beacon switched ON when TS detected inside programmed LV detection
zone. LV audible and visual alarms switch OFF 3 seconds after LV moves
outside TS programmed detection zone.
o TS beacon activated when LV detected inside programmed detection zone.
TS beacon switches OFF 3 seconds after LV moves outside programmed
detection zone.
• Mobile Plant & Equipment System (HV)
o Distinct pulsed alarm (warble) on dash-mount Alarm Unit and Rotating
Beacon switched ON when TS detected inside programmed HV detection
zone. HV audible and visual alarms switch OFF 3 seconds after HV moves
outside TS programmed detection zone.
o TS beacon activated when HV detected inside programmed detection zone.
TS beacon switches OFF 3 seconds after HV moves outside programmed
detection zone.
• Personnel Tag (PT)
o PT alarms when TS detected inside programmed PT detection zone. PT
alarm switches OFF 3 seconds after PT moves outside TS programmed
detection zone.
o TS beacon activated when PT detected inside programmed detection zone.
TS beacon switches off 3 seconds after LV moves outside programmed
detection zone.
