he basic structure of the VIMTEC MBE 1500 consists of a specially designed body with internal hydraulic support. The box body and the roof section thereby form a closed, tamper-proofed unit with a sophisticated security system for its own protection. The MBE is designed for mobile use. It can easily be transported by car to the desired location. It can be set up in a few steps even by people with limited technical skills in just a few minutes. The specific commissioning of the detection and evaluation technique can be carried out by the control center. The heart of the VIMTEC MBE is the pneumatic telescopic mast, which can be integrated depending on the option with a height of 6 to 10 m. The mast head is equipped with a quick-change system and offers space for surveillance technology and lighting. The power supply is provided by a hybrid system consisting of a diesel generator and battery storage. The diesel generator feeds a battery system and at the same time supplies all consumers. If the batteries are fully charged, they will take over the entire supply and the diesel generator will be switched off automatically. If the capacity of the batteries is exhausted, the diesel generator automatically switches itself on again. With a fuel tank holding 200 liters of diesel, the VIMTEC MBE 1500 can easily run for up to 120 days in hybrid mode even in remote areas. Bypass operation in the presence of an external power supply is also possible. In this case, the power generator and the battery system take over the emergency operation
