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.
2.1 System Summary
SensorZone PWS generates a low frequency magnetic field, referred to as the exclusion zone, around the
antenna. This zone may be set at between 3m and 10m radius. The zone is nominally elliptical in shape.
The exclusion zone can be established by a single antenna for small/medium sized vehicles or with two
antenna for larger vehicles. Users should familiarise themselves with zones in use.
A tag entering the range of the exclusion zone detects the
magnetic field and replies to the base station. The tag will warn
the wearer with two pulses of vibration. The base station
initiates a visual and audible warning to the machine operator
via the display, as well as to personnel in the vicinity via external
sounders and beacons.
Every tag detection is recorded in the built-in Datalogger.
