Patent ID: 6853307

Claim:
A high-voltage-proximity warning system comprising: a local panel adapted for being positioned in predeterminedly operational, audio and visual nearness to a vehicle operator in or about a vehicle cab; a remote panel adapted for being positioned in predeterminedly operational, audio and visual remoteness, from the local panel; the local panel having pushbuttons for quick, easy and unobstructed operation of the local panel; one or more electrical-field-sensing proximity antennas that are adapted for being positioned selectively on the vehicle; the one or more electrical-field-sensing proximity antennas having antenna cables with antenna plugs that are connectable to antenna jacks on the local panel for being in predetermined electrical communication with a local system computer on the local panel; the remote panel having a plurality of electrical terminals which include a double-poled electrical-source terminal; the remote panel having a plurality of remote data terminals which include one or more speaker terminals, one or more warning relays, one or more high-warning relays, one or more alarm relays, one or more high-alarm relays, a play/record test pushbutton, a play/record indicating light, a microphone jack, a warning-message test pushbutton, a high-warning-message test pushbutton, an alarm-message test pushbutton, a high-alarm-message test pushbutton, a startup-message test pushbutton, and a line-contact-message test pushbutton in predetermined communication with the remote system computer; the local panel having a plurality of local data transmitters which include a display screen, a warning light, a high-warning light, an alarm light, a high-alarm-light, an on/off power pushbutton, a lower pushbutton, a raise pushbutton, and a test pushbutton in predetermined communication with the local system computer; the local panel having a local data jack in predetermined electrical communication with the local system computer; the remote panel having a remote data jack in predetermined electrical communication with the remote system computer; a data cable adapted for conveyance of electrical current from the remote panel and for data communication intermediate the local data jack and the remote data jack; the local system computer being adapted and positioned to receive, to computer process and to communicate high-voltage sensing data from the proximity antennas for communication to and for relay by communication and warning devices through the display screen, through the local data transmitters and to and from the remote system computer; the remote system computer being adapted and positioned to receive, to computer process and to communicate data to and from the local system computer and to the remote data terminals predeterminedly; and the local system computer having a configuration menu for configuring an operation menu for operating the local system computer within features of items of the configuration menu.
