10.3 Stationary Object (SO) Unit
10.3.1 RF Detections and Alarms
10.3.1.1 Alarm Components
The Stationary Object Unit comprises of the following alarm components:
Rotating Beacon Unit
• Identical to LV Rotating Beacon Unit
• Mounted on Stationary Object requiring protection from Heavy Vehicles
• Activated (flashing) when HV (in gear) or TS is detected within the SO Detection
Zone
• Provides HV driver with visual confirmation
10.3.1.2 RF Detection Zones and Ranges
The Stationary Object Unit can be field programmed for a single detection zone with
programmable range / radius typically 0 – 80 m (+/- 20% accuracy).
Refer to sections 5 & 7 for more details on Detection Zones and Alarm Scenarios.
10.3.1.3 Alarm Process
1. Visual alarm is generated only when a HV (in gear) or TS is detected within the
programmed SO Detection Zone. Alarms can be programmed for HV(s) either in or out
of gear.
2. Only HV(s) (in gear) and TS(s) can generate SO alarms.
3. Alarm automatically cancels when the HV(s) move outside the SO Detection Zone or
HV out of gear.
10.3.1.4 Alarm Specifications
Alarm Conditions: HV (in gear) or TS detected within SO programmed Detection Zone
Alarm Zones: Single programmable Detection Zone
Alarm Output: Flashing beacon
Alarm Tones: Not Applicable
Alarm Cancellation: HV or TS moves outside of SO Detection Zone (or HV out of gear)
Table 39: Stationary Object Alarm Specifications
10.3.2 Power On/Off
The Stationary Object is permanently powered ON and will only generate visual alarms
when a HV (in gear) or TS is detected within the SO Detection Zone.
12VDC, 60W power can be supplied either from a permanent mains powered supply,
battery pack, or solar energy power supply for remote locations.
