2 GENERAL INTRODUCTION The SensorZone Proximity Warning System (PWS) is complimentary to (and not a substitute for) existing safe systems and procedures of work. SensorZone is a robust, high-quality Collision Avoidance System – also known as a Proximity Warning System – with a proven track record for improving safety in the workplace.
3 PLANNING / SITE SURVEY The installation and commissioning of the SensorZone system requires consideration of the safety objectives of the site, the types of equipment in use and the nature of the operation. The following steps are envisaged: Obtain a map of the site...
4 MACHINE INSTALLATION There are four parts of the system to install in the vehicle: Antenna Base Station Operator Display Sounder / Beacon (one or two) (or Push Button) (optional) The wiring for the in-vehicle components is dependent on the type of display and number of antennas.

Excavator – rear and sides monitoring For guidance on detection zone sizing, scan here. Excavator - all round monitoring Dozer – As a rule all around monitoring is required. Recommended installation position is on the vehicle roof. Wheel Loader - As a rule all around monitoring is required.
4.1.1 Operator Tag Considerations The operator of the machine must be wearing a tag. As this is a requirement of the initialisation of the system, the exclusion zone must include the cab or operators position of the machine. The operator tag will not If a rear detection range The operator tag be seen when the operator is...
The operator display should be mounted in a place that is protected from heavy rain and jet washing, and is normally intended to be mounted inside the cab. Where out-of-cab or open cab operation is required, the push button display should be used. Beacon Sounder The beacon sounder should be mounted such that it is visible to pedestrians outside of the machine.
The handbrake or dead man’s handle must be connected into the SensorZone Operator Display for these modes to become active. They cannot be connected to either the SensorZone Push Button Display or the Wireless Display. Description of the modes 5.3.1 Mode 1 –...

SensorZone system. This mode can be used to reduce the occurrence of alerts when pedestrians are required to make authorised approaches to a stationary vehicle.
6 SITE INSTALLATION In addition to the vehicle installation, the following equipment is installed on the site: Tag Test Unit The tag test unit should be installed in a convenient place that allows all personnel going onto or leaving the site to test their tags.
