BODY ELECTRONICS

Dual Battery Systems

The Lumen Auxiliary Battery System was developed for Emergency vehicles, 4x4 and tow vehicles. This system provides a secondary power supply for any high-current accessories, without compromising the primary battery charge.
The system allows parallel charging of both primary and secondary batteries when the engine is active, and automatically disconnects the secondary battery depending on ignition status or primary battery voltage.

CAN Interface ECUs

Lumen have the capability to communicate with various vehicle networked systems including High- Speed CAN, Low-Speed CAN, Single-Wire CAN, LIN, UART and other networks.
By utilising existing vehicle networks, accessibility to vehicle information is improved, and product fitment times reduced.
Lumen utilise advanced network analysis packages such as Vector CANalyser, Vector CANoe, and Kvaser LeafCAN to enable bus analysis, simulation and product validation.

Vehicle Alarm and Upgrade Packages

The Lumen alarm system can be used as a stand-alone unit, or as part of an enhancement to the vehicles existing O.E. vehicle security system.
It enables the detection of cabin intrusion, window breakage, wheels theft, and tampering with battery power supply.
Communications can be provided between the Security control module and the vehicles BCM, providing information about security events which can be shown on the vehicle’s instrument panel visual display.
To ensure long battery life of the vehicle, the system has low current requirements when in operation.

WIRELESS AUTOMOTIVE DEVICES

Wireless Digital Reversing Camera

The new Wireless Reversing System is a big leap forward in vehicle safety technology.
Current Genuine Accessory reversing cameras require disassembly of the vehicle from front to rear, resulting in long installation times, potential squeak and rattles from trim assembly/disassembly, and expensive fitment costs to the end user. Using wireless video transmission, a Genuine Accessory reversing camera can be fitted to the vehicle in under 1 hour.

Whilst current wireless analogue video transmission is characterised by poor picture quality, and unreliable video transmission/reception, the Lumen wireless system utilises 2.4Ghz digital video transmission to provide a clear image to the driver whilst reversing, and does not suffer from interference from other wireless devices operating on the same frequency.

The Wireless Reversing System is supplied with an OEM grade Camera and Videomirror and plug-and-play wiring harnesses to interface with the vehicle. The Wireless system also has a flexible interface to allow various cameras and monitors to be used.

Wireless Control Systems

In order to reduce wiring requirements and decrease fitment times, Lumen is currently developing wireless modules for remote control and switching applications. These devices will allow for bi-directional data transmission from source to destination for various applications where fitment times and costs may outweight product benefits. Examples include wireless “next stop” buttons in bus applications, or front parking sensors where wire harness routing through the firewall may be restricted or time intensive.
