or safety information in the form of symbols, icons and text. It provides both location and type of

vehicle of nearby opponent vehicles. It features a touch display for operator input if required.

QD200 LED Display provides a directional information of nearby traffic and danger as well as for

acoustical warnings (beeping over buzzer) and one button for input.

The Smart Antenna receives position and movement information from an internal high-sensitivity

dual-band, multi-constellation GNSS module. Additional sensors and logic further enhance the

accuracy of position measurements. The predicted driving path of the vehicle, in which the CAS

10 system is installed, is calculated and the obtained information is transmitted by radio as a low-

power digital burst signal at frequent intervals. Provided they are within receiving range, these

signals are received by other vehicles also equipped with CAS 10 or legacy CAS components.

The incoming signal is compared with the driving path calculated and predicted for the second

vehicle, taking into account configuration parameters like maximum acceleration or vehicle

dimension.

If the CAS 10 system determines the risk of dangerous proximity to another vehicle (or to an

obstacle equipped with the system), the unit gives the operator a warning of the greatest danger

at that moment.

The operating range is very dependent upon the antenna installation in or outside the vehicle.

The normal range is about 500m for standard operations, but up to 2 km may be achieved in

individual cases. For their radio communication, CAS 10 system use a proprietary patent- and

3.4 Limitations of the System

CAS 10 system is not designed for use

• in deep or narrow open pit mines where availability of GNSS satellites is not sufficient

• in any other application than open pit mining

• on vehicles with excessive vibration

3.5 Legal Statement and Disclaimer

For their radio communication, CAS 10 system use a proprietary patent- and copyright-protected

protocol. Any non-licensed use, dissemination, copying, implementation or reverse engineering of

the CAS radio communication protocol, their hardware and software or parts of it is forbidden by

law and will be prosecuted.

CAS 10 units are only to be used with other CAS 10 units in fleet and it is “over-the-air”-

compatible with CAS 4.x units. Otherwise inconsistent function may occur. Hexagon cannot

assume any liability from correct or incorrect use of above specified products other than regular

warranty according to Hexagon General Terms and Condition.
