RF Brake System

Remote Activation Of Vehicle Braking Systems
The RF Brake System allows remote actuation of vehicle braking systems in situations such as driverless vehicles used in automotive crash-testing.

The system consists of three modules: a Transmitter module, a Receiver module, and a System Controller module. The Transmitter and Receiver modules provide a communication link between an external control input and the System Controller. The System Controller rides onboard the vehicle and controls an external brake actuation system through a 12VDC, 4Amp output which is usually used to activate a solenoid valve.

The brake actuation system may either be user-supplied or provided by GMH Engineering and tailored to meet your application requirements. A pneumatic cylinder attached to the vehicle brake pedal may be used, for example, or the brake system itself may be modified if desired.
A B
Range The RF Brake system has a range of over 1 mile*.
Reliable Operation UHF FM signal provides high noise immunity. Separate arming and activation circuits allow for safety interlocking of brake controls.
Internally Powered The System Controller includes an internal battery which is used to power the system controller, the receiver module, and an external solenoid, which is part of the brake actuation system.
Strobe Control Strobe control output allows triggering of a strobe or other external signal device to mark brake actuation.
Control Inputs A push-button switch is provided on the Transmitter module for manual operation of the brakes. An external electrical contact closure may also be used.

*Requires FCC License for operation - application available either from GMH or from the FCC
