Positioning the DSRC equipment
The transmitter and receiver of the DSRC meter are continuously in standby mode to be immediately available for the Workshop Tab, if it indicates that it wants to start the DSRC test. Only during this test is the DRSC module active.
A number of things to take into account with regard to the placement:
- The angle between the DSRC transmitter and receiver must not exceed 45° - If the angle becomes too sharp, they may no longer detect each other.
- The in-vehicle DSRC antenna is mounted in the centre of the windscreen - This can be at the top or bottom. The arrangement of the DSRC meter must therefore be able to detect both places. Placing too close to the vehicle can lead to errors. Placing too far away from the vehicle could also lead to communication errors.
- The DSRC meter can be mounted on a tripod.
- The DSRC meter be placed between 2 and 10 meters from the vehicle (location DSRC antenna) - Ideally, the DSRC meter should be placed directly in front of the vehicle within a range of 4 to 8 meters.
Adjust the equipment if the range is not sufficient. If the DSRC meter is placed in the correct position between two vehicles, multiple Workshop Tabs (with software version 4.6 and later) can link to one DSRC meter, but never at the same time.
