15.2 Light Vehicle (LV) System
15.2.1 Operational Care
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the Dash Alarm Unit to rain or
moisture.
• To avoid electrical shock, do not open the electrical equipment enclosures. There
are no user serviceable parts located inside the equipment items.
• The audible alarm contained within the Dash Alarm Unit must not be blocked with
foreign objects in order to reduce alarm sound levels as this is the primary means of
notifying drivers of potential collisions. Consult the AMT Service Agent if you wish to
adjust the alarm sound levels to suit the ambient noise levels of the particular
installation.
• The visual alarm contained on the Dash Alarm Unit should not be covered over with
foreign objects in order to reduce night vision glare as this is the secondary means
of notifying drivers of potential collisions (the primary means being the audible
alarms). The intensity of the led indicators (alarm and power) have been set at low
intensity levels suited for both day and night visibility.
15.2.2 Pre-Operation Inspection
External Checks
• Visually check that the roof mounted Rotating Beacon (if fitted) or RF Unit and
wiring harness are secure.
• Check that the antenna is securely screwed onto the Rotating Beacon enclosure
and located in the upright position. Tighten and straighten by hand if necessary
(secure using Loctite 243).
15.2.3 Startup Inspection
• Check that the dash alarm power indicator is ON
15.2.4 Operational Checks
• Drive past the Test Station (TS) and verify detection on the Light Vehicle dash
alarm unit (warble tone) and roof mounted Rotating Beacon (if fitted - verify beacon
operation using Test Station mirror). The Test Station rotating beacon should also
switch on when the Light Vehicle enters the programmed Detection Zone.
15.2.5 Maintenance Requirements
Routine Checks
• Check that the antenna is securely screwed onto the Rotating Beacon Unit
enclosure and located in the upright position. Tighten and straighten by hand if
necessary (secure using Loctite 243).
• Check the operation of rotating beacon (if fitted) and dash alarm at the Test Station
(TS).
• Check all equipment and cabling is secure. Re-secure if necessary.
