FLAMEPROOF COMPACT COLLISION AWARENESS SYSTEM

The Collision Awareness System (CAS) is designed
to prevent injury and possible loss of life during
the operation of mining vehicles in close proximity
to mining personnel. This system provides an early
warning indication that alerts the operator to the
presence and number of personnel and vehicles in
the vehicle’s vicinity.

This system facilitates bi-directional notification and
alert messaging against potential collisions between
the following:
• Vehicle to Person: Warns vehicle operators of
possible persons in close proximity.
• Person to Vehicle: Warns person(s) of possible
stationary or moving vehicles in close proximity.
• Vehicle to Vehicle: Warns vehicle operators
of other stationery or moving vehicles in close
proximity.

CRDU 200

The CRDU 200 Umbilical Unit is the visualisation
unit for the vehicle operator. It is connected to the
CCAS, which is the interface between the driver and
the multiple detection sensors mounted around the
vehicle.

Since not all requirements and vehicles are the same,
the CCAS system was designed with modularity and
customization in mind. From the simplest system,
consisting of only UHF detection together
with the CRDU200 display unit, to a fullyfledged
system with multiple detection
point consisting of all three available
technologies, the customer can adjust
the system to their needs. The modular
design of the CAS module itself makes
it simple to add and replace individual
modules, and by adding downstream
slave CCAS units to master device, the
system can be expanded even further.
The patented tri-technology system
(UHF, radar and electromagnetic)
provides a scalable system suitable
for all customer applications. As the
only system globally using all three
combined technologies it is the most
reliable, robust and repeatable system
on the market.

TRI-TECHNOLOGY
POINT OF DETECTION
Detection zone threshold distances can be variably set
to customer application requirements. By combining
and adjusting zones from the different detection
technologies, vehicles of any size can be covered.

CUSTOMISABLE ZONES
Detection zone threshold distances can be variably set
to customer application requirements. By combining
and adjusting zones from the different detection
technologies, vehicles of any size can be covered.

OPERATOR ERGONOMICS
The only device installed in the cabin is the CRDU200. It displays important Information
and alert the vehicle operator of detected tags, proximity, direction, type of tags etc.

EXPERIENCE
Becker Mining Systems have been designing and installing Collision Awareness Systems
for 12 years and has in excess of 3,000 collision Awareness receivers and 30,000 tags
operating globally today.

TAG DETECTION
The tri-axis electromagnetic receiver ensures that detection is 100% reliable and
will never be missed by the system regardless of tag/miners orientation or position.
Systems that only use dual-axis receivers reduce reliability.

DIAGNOSTICS
Advanced self-diagnostic functionality provides continuous monitoring of the peripherals
connected ensuring equipment is functioning correctly. The operator is warned as soon
as a device stops responding to the CAS Controller.

CONNECTIVITY
Standard unit connectivity includes BNET RS485 for field device communications and
USB to download data log of tag interactions.
