Emergency Stop Radio System

Overview

The ESR9600 Emergency Stop Radio is an independent safety radio that is used to shutdown an Unmanned Ground Vehicle in the event of unsafe operation out of the operator's control.

Applications

The ESR9600 is used on Unmanned Vehicles during testing or operation to provide an independent shutdown capability for safety purposes. An operator carries a shoulder bag containing a transmitter and emergency stop button. The operator unit is portable, with a recharger and an operating life of up to 8 hours. The receiver goes on the unmanned vehicle and operates a set of relays that are used to cut engine power and operate other critical vehicle functions such as brakes.

Features

The ESR9600 is portable and lightweight, and operates in the VHF frequency range from 150 to 174 MHZ, with a set of 8 user selectable channels. The ESR9600 has a programmable power output, up to 5 watts, that gives a line of sight range of more than 2 Km under most conditions.

• Operate Multiple Systems Simultaneously via Configurable Frequency Selection
• 8 hours Continuous Operation
• Rechargeable NiCad Battery Pack
• SMART Battery Charger Extends Battery Life
• Lightweight / Rugged Enclosures
• Low Battery Indicator / Auto Shut-Down
• 8 User Selectable Channels / Frequencies
• Channel Frequencies are User Programmable
• Reconfigurable via FLASH based 8051 Microcontroller

Benefits

The ESR9600 is designed specifically for Unmanned Vehicle applications on robots that are large and/or potentially dangerous if not under operator control. An independent safety operator can provide shutdown via an independent safety datalink in the event of an emergency condition. The operation of the ESR9600 is designed to outperform a typical robotic datalink and is based on proven RF modem technology that has been utilized in a variety of applications including unmanned vehicles.
