This guide contains directions on the legally mandated requirements for a
proper Installation. Improper installation and/or modifications to the device not
expressly approved by SCAN~LINK Technologies Inc. may expose the operator
to harmful radiation and may void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
The SCAN~LINK Armour System™ is to be used only as a tool to assist a vehicle
operator and does not replace any safety procedures in place, nor does it
remove any responsibility for the safe operation of the vehicle from the driver.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by SCAN‐LINK
Technologies Inc. could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Page 4: Product Description
SLA_UM_001 Product Description The SCAN~LINK Armour System™ has been designed to increase the probability of detection of a ground worker in the vicinity of mobile heavy equipment. The SCAN~LINK Armour System™ consists of two units, the Antenna Unit, and the Display Unit. The Antenna Unit is typically mounted on the back of a vehicle to detect the presence of ground workers wearing an Armour equipped Safety Vest and/or Hard Hat. When a ground worker is detected, the Antenna Unit sends a message to the Display Unit mounted inside the cab which then alerts the operator through an audible and visual alarm. The Display Unit displays the operational status of the SCAN~LINK Armour System™ whenever the vehicle ignition is on, but only gives visual and audio alarms for ground worker detection when the Reverse Input Line to the Antenna Unit or the Display Unit is Positive Active. The SCAN~LINK Rapid Pair™ software is used to configure the operating parameters of the SCAN~LINK Armour System™, including which Reverse Input Line to use to enable visual and audio alarms. Antenna Unit The Antenna Unit transmits and receives digital RFID signals over the 902MHz‐928MHz frequency band to search for Armour safety apparel within its detection range. The Antenna Unit processes information from the responding tags to identify if any genuine Armour vests and/or safety hats are in the range. If Armour safety apparel is detected, the Antenna Unit transmits a separate signal in the 2.4GHz frequency band to the Display Unit to activate an audible and visual warning. The Antenna Unit requires power from the vehicle’s power source. It also requires a positive activation of the Reverse Input Line if this input is configured to be used to activate the Antenna Unit only on reverse vehicle operation. All other functions of the antenna are performed over the 2.4GHz radio link. The wires into the Antenna unit are routed with a splash‐proof connector to protect the device against water leakage. A moisture vent is incorporated in the Antenna Unit case so that moisture inside the case can vent to the outside. Figure 1: SCAN~LINK™ Antenna Unit 4 ... -
Page 5: Operator Display Unit
SLA_UM_001 Operator Display Unit The Operator Display unit seen below is to be installed inside the vehicle cabin in the vicinity of the operator, but no closer than 20cm, so that it can be clearly seen and heard. The Operator Display receives signals from the antenna when genuine Armour safety apparel is detected in the range of the Antenna Unit. The Display Unit is in periodic contact with the Antenna Unit to ensure the communication link and tag detection throughput between the antenna element and the display is functioning properly and reporting no errors. If the wireless connection between the display and the antenna is compromised, the power LED will blink amber and an optional audible sound (if enabled through the SCAN~LINK Rapid Pair™ software) will be generated. SCAN~LINK™ apparel will not be detected if the power LED is amber.

The range is adjustable using the SCAN~LINK Rapid Pair™ software. The strength of the received digital RFID signals increases as the separation between the Antenna Unit and the SCAN~LINK Armour System™ safety apparel decreases. The onset of detection typically begins at 6 meters, however, consistent detection at 6 meters cannot be guaranteed. 6 meters (20 feet) 4 meters (13 feet) Figure 3: Approximate Detection Range 6 ... -

SLA_UM_001 Agency Certifications This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the installation manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his/her own expense. To comply with FCC/IC RF exposure limits for general population / uncontrolled exposure, the SCAN~LINK™ Antenna Unit and the Operator Display Unit must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 21 cm (8.5 inches) from all persons and must not be co‐located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 7 ...
