Vehicle operation:

Typically the vehicle is operated by a driver. The driver has to pass through a short instruction before operating a vehicle on the chassis dynamometer. The advantage of operation by driver is an early detection of possible faults at the vehicle and the test bench.

For a continuous connection to the control room there is a wireless full-duplex headset.

If required a second headset can be embedded.

Vehicle monitoring:

During the operation the vehicle is monitored all around by a digital videosystem. The pictures are stored and displayed on a wide screen inside the control room. It is very useful for detecting faults and to act before occuring a bigger damage.

Fire-protection:

The whole building is protected by a fire alarm system. It includes a direct connection to the fire department. Inside the building there are several hand extinguishers and inside the plenum additionally two foam extinguishers with a volume of 50 liters on both sides of the measuring section.

Fire-extinguishing system:

Integrated in the floor of the wind tunnel plenum there are nozzles of a high-pressure water mist system. The climate chamber gets completely extinguished. The system gets activated automatically by fire detectors. Also possible is a manual activation.

Engine compartment extinction:

Additionally there is a separate high-pressure water mist system for the engine compartment. It can be connected with the prepared nozzles in the engine compartment via high-pressure tubes.   It is recommended to use this equipment. In case of operating the vehicle remotely the enginge compartment extinction is required.
