  • Page 30: Safety Information

    Safety Information: Magnets Use caution with the powerful magnets in EzDig mounting plates The mounting plates used to secure the sensors to the excavator use extremely strong rare earth magnets. They must be handled with care to avoid personal injury and damage to the magnets. Fingers and other body parts can get severely pinched between two attracting magnets or other metal surface.
  • Page 31 Safety Information: Radio PRECAUTIONS The product must not be disposed with household waste. Dispose of the product appropriately in accordance with the national regulations in force in your country. FCC Labels on sensors & LED Display ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) Description The term Electromagnetic Compatibility is taken to mean the capability of the product to function smoothly in an environment where electromagnetic radiation and electrostatic discharges are present, and without causing electromagnetic disturbances to other equipment.
  • Page 32 Safety Information: Radio FCC STATEMENT, APPLICABLE IN U.S. WARNING This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

  • Page 33: Technical Information

    Technical Information: Sensors Even at miserable weather the sensors are charging. The "energy balance" is indeed negative, i.e. the sensors have consumed - when in the evening - about 5-10% more energy than was attributed by the solar cells, but this is minor. As soon as the sun is min. 1-2 hours there, the "energy balance" is already positive. Only when the sensors are left attached on the machine over night - as they are switched on 24 hours - the situation may be more critical.
  • Page 34 Technical Information: Sensors There are various reasons why the system isn’t able to detect a sensor. When you attach a sensor to a sensor plate you’ll see a small green LED starting to blink on the sensor’s PCB, which indicates that it’s now switched ON.
