ALP Sensor group firing question. ( Rear Set-Front Set)

[deano]

thanks fletch

but like my self has 5 sensors on the rear I had front 3 ports left side and rear ports right side all on the rear

on some tests meets I noticed some probloms if I was to aim at the rear right tail light them pan to the left I would get PT as the rear(right heads) heads seen the lidar first looks like the heads that see the lidar first come priority

I had to mix ports around so right become left and left became right to set off a chain reaction so all heads fired together

having front heads on the left and rear ports on the right is ok if the shooter was to be pulling new trigger pulls ..but for those lidar guns that can track no need to pull a new trigger best to mix the ports around

Yeah, I'm guessing this is a fairly recent change thats happened in firmware. When we first tested when the ALP came out last year in Oz, it was on the original firmware

Also, it sounds like it will only do this for Poliscan, and not other handheld threats, so unless you've got Poli on your laser tester, will be hard to test for in your driveway etc

so if one has 3 heads on the front and 2 heads on the rear so if the lidar hit the front do the rear also fire ?.... and will the other heads fire if it wasn't a new trigger pull ie no space between front and rear alert if one was to have all 5 heads on the rear

we all know the heads fired in sync back last year so whats changed

the only thing I think of that's changed if one was to have 5 on the rear front ports hooked up to left side and rear ports to right side then a lidar threat was to scan one side only say the right side the rear ports will see it first (rightside ) but if this lidar is not broking then scan to the left will the other heads fire

As im currently only researching PS functionality in detail, i only have the ability to test against PS right now.
All i can tell you right now is 100% sure, for PS only, all sensors return fire all at the same time regardless of which sensor gets hit.

FYI: i have also got them set up as (1,2,3,)-(4,5,) from left to right from the drivers POV so i can tell which side of the road the threat comes from. (Red or yellow and both.)
In our simulations so far regardless of which side of the road the PS unit is set up it is always sensor 3 ( in the middle of the truck) that gets hit first every time.
I have only installed the front setup so far as that is the main threat here in the sand pit and allows me time to get some experience before we do the more complex rear/overhead setup.
It also makes a huge difference which side of the road you drive on with regard to the level of vulnerability, surprisingly the wider the road and the further away you are from the unit the more vulnerable you are due to the PS units ability to deal with extreme angles.
The best side of the road to be on in order to reduce the vulnerability is the same side as the unit set up, you would naturally think that being further away on the other side of the road you would be much safer, NOT TRUE, being further away on the 6th lane dramatically increases your risk due to the PS's ability to deal with angles.
