Installation

Mounting to a suitable surface is critical for reliable ADR operation and useful accident data. Install in accordance with the following notes.
Note: The ADR must be mounted with each side parallel to one of the 3 primary axes of the vehicle. There are 24 possible mounting orientations. See the Orientation section on page 13 for more detail.
• It is recommended that the ADR is securely mounted on a rigid structural member, close to the driver’s seat.
Avoid mounting to sheet metal bodywork or other vibrating surfaces.
• The mounting location should allow the LEDs to be easily seen by the race crew, officials and emergency
personnel.

Configuration

The ADR Manager application is used to configure the ADR, upgrade the firmware, and carry out event management activities such as downloading and erasing data.

Connection to the ADR

ADR Manager connects to a powered ADR unit over the CAN bus. The connection can be made through a MoTeC UTC (USB to CAN), or through a MoTeC Ethernet connected logger or ECU wired on the same CAN bus as an ADR.
MoTeC Ethernet devices include ACL, ADL3, CDL3, SDL3, C185, C125 and M1 ECUs.
Note: To allow a connection through a MoTeC Ethernet device, the UTC connection setting accessed via the Tools > Options menu must be disabled.
If the ADR being connected has a password set, the password prompt is displayed. The correct password must be entered before any other operations can be performed.
When an ADR is connected, a summary of the logged events is listed as shown in figure 2. The connection status and ADR serial number are shown in the ADR Manager Status bar.

• Turned ON at the configured brightness for 2 seconds after application of power (battery
voltage or USB power).
• Turned ON at the configured brightness if a fault is detected.
• Pulsed at full brightness for a 10ms flash once per second if any severe event is present in the
logged events.
Note: If power is lost during an event, the ADR uses a supercapacitor to maintain power for event logging and severe event indication.
• Turned ON when external power (battery voltage or USB power) is present.
• Turned ON at the configured brightness if any events are logged.
• Flashes at 1Hz if the event log is full.
• Flashes at 6Hz if an event is in progress.
protect the ADR if the output is open circuit. The output can drive a single LED or series chain of LEDs with a maximum forward voltage of 10V.
• Turned ON as a lamp test at the configured duty for 2 seconds after application of power
(battery voltage or USB).
• Pulsed at full brightness for a 10ms flash once a second if any severe event is present in the
log.
• If the External LED is enabled in the configuration, then an open circuit test will be performed
during the lamp test. The external LED is considered open circuit if the LED driver output voltage exceeds 11V.
If an open circuit fault is detected during the lamp test, then the External LED output is disabled until the next power on lamp test.
If a severe event is present and the External LED is configured, the ADR will still attempt to flash the External LED, even if an open circuit fault has been detected.

The ADR can be configured to use one of three event triggering methods:
The XYZ Vector is the recommended trigger method. A trigger method with separate Z axis settings can be useful in situations where large Z axis accelerations such as curb impacts are expected.
Trigger on XYZ Vector
An event is triggered when the magnitude of the XYZ acceleration vector exceeds the Event Trigger Level.
The event is marked as a severe event when the magnitude of the XYZ acceleration vector exceeds the Severe Event Trigger Level.
The same trigger filter settings are used for all axes.
MoTeC — Published: 11 February 2014 Page 14
Page 16
ADR Functionality User Manual ADR Functional Reference
Trigger on XY Vector or Z axis
An event is triggered when either:
• The magnitude of the Z acceleration exceeds the Z Axis Event Trigger Level, or
• The magnitude of the XY acceleration vector exceeds the XY Vector Event Trigger Level.
An event is considered as a severe event when either:
• The magnitude of the Z acceleration exceeds the Z Axis Severe Event Trigger Level, or
• The magnitude of the XY acceleration vector exceeds the XY Vector Severe Event Trigger Level.
The trigger filter setting used for the Z axis is separately configurable to the setting used for the X and Y axes.
Trigger on X or Y or Z axis
An event is triggered when either:
• The magnitude of the Z acceleration exceeds the Z Axis Event Trigger Level, or
• The magnitude of the X or Y acceleration exceeds the X and Y Axes Event Trigger Level.
An event is considered as a severe event when either:
• The magnitude of the Z acceleration exceeds the Z Axis Severe Event Trigger Level, or
• The magnitude of the X or Y acceleration exceeds the X and Y Axes Severe Event Trigger Level.
The trigger filter setting used for the Z axis is separately configurable to the setting used for the X and Y axes.
General Notes on Triggering:
• The event trigger starts the event logging process. The log contains 2 seconds of pre-trigger data and 30 seconds
of post-trigger data.
• The log files generated by ADR Manager contain the trigger filter output that was used to trigger the event. These
readings can be used to determine suitable filtering and thresholds.
MoTeC — Published: 11 February 2014 Page 15

ADR Functionality User Manual ADR Functional Reference

Event Logging

Note: If power is lost during an event, the ADR uses a supercapacitor to maintain power for event logging and severe event indication (flashing Status LED).
The following applies:
• The ADR can store up to 10 events in non-volatile flash memory.
• Each event contains 2 seconds of pre-trigger data and 30 seconds of post trigger data.
• The stored event contains:
o Accelerometer readings (3 axes), updated at 1000Hz. o CAN bus channels (20 channels), updated at 100Hz. o GPS speed, date, time and location (lat/long), updated at 20Hz.
• The ADR always attempts to maintain free space so that a new event can be logged.
• Whenever there are more than 8 logged events, the oldest non-severe event in the event log will be
automatically erased to free the log location for new events. Severe events are never automatically erased.
• Logging can be downloaded and erased using ADR Manager; see the Events Tab on page 7.
The generated log file for a stored event contains the following channels:
Channel Name Update Rate Description
X (G) Y (G) Z (G)
CFC60 X (G) CFC60 Y (G) CFC60 Z (G)

The log file additionally contains a header with the following information:
• Event date and start time (UTC) received on the GPS input
• ADR name (from the ADR configuration)
• ADR serial number
Note: All references to X, Y and Z readings refer to the default vehicle orientation described in the Orientation section on page 13.
Further Information: See the Event Triggering section on page 14 for details on accelerometer filtering. See the Receive Messaging section on page 20 for details of CAN channels.

GPS and Timekeeping

The ADR can receive time, speed and location data from NMEA GPRMC sentences transmitted over RS232 from a GPS receiver. The GPS data is used to provide time and location stamping of ADR events, and to include vehicle speed during event logging.
For information on enabling and configuring the GPS; see the Communications Tab section on page 8.
The following applies:
• If a GPS is not connected to the ADR, then the GPS functionality should be disabled in the device configuration to
prevent GPS faults.
• The RS232 baud rate can be specified in the device configuration to 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 or 115200.
• The ADR maintains time and date only when powered on. The time stamping clock starts at 00:00 1/1/2000
when the ADR is turned on. The clock is set to the correct UTC time whenever a valid GPRMC sentence is received from the GPS.
• GPS diagnostics are transmitted in the CAN status messages; see the CAN Bus section on page 19.
• If a received GPS sentence has an invalid checksum, then the data is ignored and the GPS Invalid diagnostic
status is set until a valid sentence is received.
• If no valid GPS sentence is received for 2 seconds then the GPS Timeout and GPS Invalid diagnostics statuses are
set until a valid sentence is received.
• The ADR provides 5V external power for a GPS receiver.

ADR Functionality User Manual ADR Functional Reference

Power

If power is lost during an event, the ADR uses a supercapacitor to maintain power for event logging and severe event indication (flashing Status LED).

Supercapacitor Charging

The following applies:
• Continuously charged when the ADR is powered from the battery voltage input (BATT+).
• Charge rate can be specified in the device configuration; see the General Tab section on page 6.
The higher the charge rate, the quicker the supercapacitor reaches full charge.
• It is recommended to use the maximum charge rate, except in specialised applications that require low current
draw from the ADR on start up.
Note: With the maximum charge rate configured, the supercapacitor is charged to full capacity in less than one minute. At this charge rate, the current drawn during charging from a 12V power source is less than 600mA.

Power Loss Handling

If the battery power is lost, the ADR enters a lower power utilisation mode to conserve supercapacitor power. The CAN interface, GPS input and external 5V supply are disabled, and the Power and Data LEDs are turned OFF. Events are still triggered and logged while enough power remains in the supercapacitor.
If the ADR has a severe incident already logged and the battery power is lost, and if no event logging is currently in progress, then the ADR enters an extreme low power utilisation mode. This mode allows the Status and External LEDs to flash for several minutes.

USB Power

During operation with ADR Manager, the ADR can be optionally powered by USB.
Note: The supercapacitor is not charged when the ADR is powered by USB.

External 5V Power Supply

An external 5V power supply pin is provided to power a GPS receiver. The 5V supply is current limited to 90mA.
MoTeC — Published: 11 February 2014 Page 18
Page 20
ADR Functionality User Manual ADR Functional Reference

CAN Bus

The CAN bus is used for:
• Configuration, firmware upgrade and event download through ADR Manager.
• Transmission of ADR status.
• Receiving external channels to be stored in the event log.

Transmit Messaging

There are two status messages transmitted from the ADR at 50Hz on user configurable CAN Ids:

Receive Messaging

The ADR receives up to five CAN messages starting at the user configured Receive Address.
During an event, the data in the received CAN messages is logged as 20 individual 16bit channels at 100Hz. These logged channels are included in the log files generated by ADR Manager.
If the CAN connection is lost, the last received values continue to be logged.
The channels are labelled and scaled in the log file with the following channel names and scaling:
