ADR2
Part No: #18130

OVERVIEW

The ADR2 is MoTeC's second generation Accident Data Recorder. It records critical data from vehicle accidents, such as lateral, longitudinal and vertical accelerations. This data can help to better understand forces in high impact collisions and may assist with the medical assessment of drivers.

The ADR2 captures minimum 30 seconds of data per event, including 15 seconds immediately before the accident which triggered recording. Subsequent impacts extend the event recording time.

The device can be used stand-alone or in conjunction with other devices such as a GPS, Display Logger or ECU.

The MoTeC ADR2 conforms to FIA standard 8872-2018 and is included in the FIA ADR Program.

LIGHTS

A single RGB LED indicator is visible on the enclosure. Support is provided for external medical and status lights.

RGB LED Indicator
Device State Colour Flash Rate Duty Cycle [%] Brightness [%]
Firmware starting OFF
Event stored* RED 4 Hz 5% 100%
Recording event GREEN 10 Hz 50% 50%
Normal operation (on vehicle power) GREEN Solid 100% 50%
Normal operation (on internal backup power) GREEN 2 Hz 10% 25%
Backup power supply charging** (on vehicle power) GREEN 1 Hz 20-100% 50%
Low power GREEN 1 Hz 10% 5%
No GPS lock (on vehicle power) GREEN 1 Hz 90% 50%
ORANGE 10% 100%
USB communications*** CYAN
Normal operation (on USB power) BLUE Solid 100% 50%
Diagnostics ORANGE refer to Diagnostics

* When an event is recorded, the LED shows Event stored until the device is powered down. If the device is powered on and a recorded event has not been retrieved by ADR2 Manager, the LED will show Event stored for 60 seconds.

** Duty cycle equals charge level; i.e. 20% duty cycle = 20% charge level.

*** Flashing to indicate command in progress e.g. firmware update. All normal operations are suspended.

Diagnostics

When an error occurs, the RGB LED indicator will flash orange ON for 250 ms at 50% brightness, OFF for 250 ms, repeated according to the error number (see table), followed by a one second pause.

Only the highest priority error (lowest number) is displayed and this continues for as long as the error is active.

Error Number of flashes
CAN bus fault 2
No FIA CAN frames 3
External power supply failure 4
Over temperature 5
Internal fault 6

Additional information on errors or internal faults can be found in the diagnostic channels section in ADR2 Manager software.
