Defender Installation Precautions Do not mount the Defender indicator to the dashboard console or any plastic surface. The installation on “soft” surface areas will act as a shock absorber and effect the ability of the unit to accurately record impacts as they occur.

Selecting the Defender Mounting LocationMount the Defender indicator in front of the operator so that the operator has an unobstructed but clear view of the LCD display. The Defender indicator must be position so that the ‘arrow’ on the outside of the unit is facing in the direction of the vehicles forward travel. The Defender indicator must be mounted on a solid be metal surface (extension of chassis that meets dashboard, upper railing, side railing, etc.). Defender universal mounting brackets can be used to secure the indicator to the overhead guard or side railing if necessary.

Electrical ConnectionsAll stand alone Defender systems operate from a range of 12 to 55 V DC. There are only four wires to be connected to the vehicle.




Unit Power Source Connection (both wires are enclosed in a grey protective encasing)

RED Wire - Ignition switch

Black Wire - Battery negative or vehicle ground

Vehicle Access Control Disable System (both wires are black and without protective encasing)

Defender utilizes a vehicle access control system requiring a valid operator ID# to begin operation of the truck. This system is connected to the operation of the truck through two additional black wires that are used to disable vehicle. The internal relay contacts, S.P.S.T. in the Defender unit are ‘open’ and will remain open until a valid operator ID# is inputed into the system. When system accepts a valid operator ID# the relay contact will ‘close’ and remain closed until next time vehicle ignition ( power on /off system) s turned off.

Important Note: Depending on the vehicle (Electric or internal combustion) it is up to qualified service technician to connect these two wires to disable the vehicle operation in a manner that is safe and acceptable according to industry standard. If uncertain as to the safest and most suitable connection point to disable the vehicle, contact the original end manufacturer, OEM. Relay and traces on PC board can handle a maximum of up to 2 Amps. If you are disabling vehicle at an electrical point that requires more than 2 Amps you MUST USE EXTERNAL RELAY.

How to Configure and Program the Defender - IM3

How to Set Time and Date With the LCD display showing date and time, press and hold for the F key. The LCD display will request the programmer to enter number. Press number 3 in conjunction with the F key and LCD display will show time /date as per example below:

SEP 29, 2012

15:34:16

Cursor will prompt the programmer to select month, press left or right arrow key to scroll through options. When the desired month is selected press enter key to save. The cursor will move to date, year, hours, etc. Keep using left or right arrow to get to the right value and press enter key each time to save the entered value.




How to set Language (English or French) With the LCD display showing date and time, press and hold for the F key. The LCD display will request the programmer to enter number. Press number 5 in conjunction with the F key and LCD display will show:

Language

English

Press Left or Right arrow to set desired language and then press Enter Key to set.

How to Set the Low and High Impact Notification Thresholds With the LCD display showing date and time, press and hold the F key. The LCD display will request the programmer to enter number. Press number 4 in conjunction with the F key and LCD display will show:

ENTER LOW IMPACT

1.500g

Press and scroll the Left or Right arrows to set desired ‘Low impact’ value and then press the Enter Key. After pressing the Enter Key the LCD display will advance to:

ENTER HI IMPACT

2.500g

Press and scroll the Left or Right arrows to set desired ‘High impact’ value and then press the Enter Key. After pressing Enter Key the LCD display will go back to normal operational mode showing data and time.

Important Note: The newly configured G impact values are saved into the system and are now the standard defaults upon vehicle start up. Finding the optimum G impact setting for an application will require fine tuning on behalf of the end user or project manager. It is recommended that you start the ‘Low Impact’ setting at 4G and the ‘High Impact’ at 7.5G and find the optimum setting that depicts safe and unsafe usage in a specific application.

How to Program the Vehicle Access Control System Defender series impact monitoring devices provide an Access Control System that allows only authorized users to operate the vehicle. Standard Defender units allow up to 50 different users any combination of a 3 digit ID code to identify them as an authorized user.




1. Turn power on to the system. The LCD display will show ‘IVDT, Software version and Serial number’, after a brief period of time the prompt will default to ENTER ID NUMBER.

ENTER ID NUMBER

ID = _ 2. Enter number 999 and then press the Enter key to start the procedure of the input mode to create valid operator ID#’s.

ENTER ID NUMBER

ID = 999 3. The LCD display will show ENTER VALID IDS . ID 1 = _ will be shown on the lower LCD bar.

ENTER VALID IDs

ID 1 = _ 4. Enter valid first operator ID# (Any number between 1 to 998) Note: Once you have entered your ID number press the Enter key. The system will then prompt you to then enter a second ID number, ID 2. Repeat the process of entering ID numbers followed by the Enter key to move to the next ID until all desired ID’s have been entered into the system.

ENTER VALID IDs

ID 27 = _

5. Once you have entered the last required valid ID# (As of example ID 27), press the Enter key.

The system will automatically forward to the next valid ID prompt, as in this example ID 28, at this point press the F key to exit. All ID’s inputted into the system are now Vehicle Access Control defaults and will be required to be input upon starting the vehicle.




Important Note: It is recommended that the end user or project manager program a few additional operator ID’s for the purpose of temporary employment, servicing lift truck technicians and or required management.

Operation of Defender IM3 Upon prompting start up of the vehicle the unit will power on and the LCD display will show ‘IVDT, Software version and Serial number’, after a brief period of time the prompt will default to ENTER ID NUMBER. Enter a correct ID number and the system will change to time and date and allow for operation of the lift truck.

SEP 29, 2012

16:34:16

If an invalid operator ID is entered, one not previously programmed into the system, the LCD indicator will display INVALID ID#, and re-prompt for a correct ID.

Other than inputting their specific ID for authorized usage of the vehicle the operator is not required to program, change or input any settings during normal operation of the vehicle. The Defender - IM3 with 2 Channel Monitoring detection will notify the operator, end user or project manager of detected impacts surpassing pre-set G thresholds utilizing the following system. The first impact notification is the ‘LOW IMPACT’ which will be shown only to the operator of the vehicle on the LCD unit display. LOW IMPACT should be a setting that notifies the operator that they are getting close to potentially dangerous or damaging operating practices such as hitting dock plates to hard, or abrupt turns at high speeds. The LOW IMPACT notification is designed to be preventative mechanism to forewarn operators and create a safer material handling environment. The second notification is the ‘HIGH IMPACT’ which too will show on the LCD display of the unit but also be recorded in the data logger port of the Defender unit which is accessed by USB. Additional options may include a timed audible alarm and or Bolero Wireless integration with modem. The ‘HIGH IMPACT’ should be a notification setting where based on the application the potential for compromised safety of the operator and or damage to the vehicle and surrounding area may have resulted and therefore investigation is warranted. It is recommended that end users and or project managers opt for either a Real Time Data or Bolero Wireless system to provide notifications when they happen as an email sent to a PDA device as to begin a timely investig7 ation of the impact. The data logger port with USB retrieval records the ‘HIGH IMPACT’ and the operator ID at time of that impact.

All impact events are shown to the operator on LCD display in actual G forces.
