9 The CAS GPS Node Product Family

9.1 Principle of System Operation

The CAS-GPS Intelligent multi-purpose NODE is the front-end transponder for enabling situational awareness of fleet
vehicles, infrastructure and personnel The NODES form an integral component of the CAS -GPS system when paired
with one of the CAS-GPS host devices such as the light vehicle display or the heavy vehicle rugged IVU running the
CAS-GPS user interface software.

Nodes will be required to operate in several modes during its daily operation. As a key component of the CAS system,
it will remain powered in all modes of operation unless powered down by the system display/cont roller. All nodes
have an internal battery & provided that the battery is within acceptable temperature limits will continue to operate in
a low power mode after isolation from vehicle supply. The node’s internal battery will continue to be charged until the
system detects that the supply voltage has dropped below the pre-determined threshold and then stop. This will
prevent the vehicle’s battery from being depleted below the vehicle’s ability to re-start its engine.

The CAS-GPS Nodes are comprised of a high-performance GPS receiver, Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) radio transceiver, high
accuracy Ranging RF transceiver for distance measurements (ToF), CAN bus, RS-232 and RS-485 wired
communication ports, Digital Inputs (2) and Digital Output (1), Personal Area Network wireless technology and internal

To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, do not use this device in any facility where posted
notices instruct you to do so. In aircraft, use of any radio frequency devices must be in accordance with applicable
regulations. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

With medical devices, maintain a minimum separation of 15 cm (6 inches) between pacemakers and wireless devices and
some wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. If other personal medical devices are being used in the vicinity
of wireless devices, ensure that the device has been adequately shielded from RF energy. In a domestic environment this
product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

13.7 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your electronic device before entering an area with potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but
your electronic device could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include
fuelling areas, such as petrol station, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities,

and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

CAUTION! Electrostatic Sensitive Device. Pre-caution should be used when handling the device in order to
prevent permanent damage.
