NOTE: The ZoneSafe™ proximity warning system is supplied as an audible and/or visual alert system only. It is not a protective device, it does not initiate or perform safety related functions and it does not provide control to reduce risk but and audible/visual alert to the operator of the risk. . 1 Introduction ZoneSafe™ is a proximity warning system that produces an invisible detection zone around any machine or area it is fitted to. The system detects transponders worn by personnel or fitted to other objects that are within its proximity and provides an audible/visual warning. ZoneSafe™ systems are supplied as audible and/or visual warning systems, which provide an aid to safety only. ZoneSafe™ should not be used to replace proper job site organisation, safeguards, operator training and the application of relevant vision standards that addresses safety and the safety of people on job sites. 2 How the System Works ZoneSafe™ is based on proven radio frequency technology. The driver of the vehicle places an Authorized driver transponder in to the control unit. Completing this ensures the drivers transponder does not set off the detection alarm. If no Authorized Driver Transponder is placed in the Control Unit a constant alarm will sound. The system produces a user configurable detection zone around a machine or area between 3m to 9m which interacts with transponders worn by personnel or other hazards. When a ZoneSafe™ transponder is within the proximity of, or enters the detection zone of a ZoneSafe™ enabled object, a visual and/or audible indication is provided to the machine operator. The ZoneSafe™ system comprises a control unit with display, antenna units and transponders. Each installed system has its own unique identification code, as do each of the transponders used with the system. The Control Unit can optionally contain an LCD which can indicate the location of the detected transponder in the zone The system’s main control unit has a real time clock and built in memory for storing an audit trail of up to 7000 proximity detection events and system configuration settings. Event logs and system settings can be viewed for each control unit using the ZoneSafe™ software or ZoneSafe Android APP ZoneSafe™ Manager software provides an easy to use interface for downloading, viewing, analysing and exporting event data. ZoneSafe™ System User Manual A176283 © 2011 Copyright Avonwood Developments Limited Page | 6 3 System Components The ZoneSafe™ system comprises the following standard components and accessories (part numbers in Installation and Operation Manual): Standard Components 1. ZoneSafe™ Control Unit 2. ZoneSafe™ Wakeup Antenna Unit(s) 3. ZoneSafe™ Driver Transponders 4. ZoneSafe™ Transponders Accessories 5. ZoneSafe™ Transponder Test Unit 6. ZoneSafe™ LED Test Transponder 7. ZoneSafe™ Fixing Kits 8. ZoneSafe™ Software 9. Discovery Readers 3.1 Control Unit The ZoneSafe™ Control Unit contains the main electronics of the system and requires a 24V DC supply (other voltages available on request). All of the other system devices are connected to and are controlled by the control unit. The control unit contains a real-time clock (with battery backup) for time and date information, internal memory to store event data and a Bluetooth interface for communication. A relay is available for the addition of external sounders or beacons for alerting personnel in the detection zone. Warning indicators and unit features include:  Alarm Buzzer/Light o Pulsing -Transponder in Zone o Constant - No Driver Transponder, No ignition or system fault  Mute Button o Alarm mute for one transponder when pressed 3.2 Wakeup Antenna Units The ZoneSafe™ Wakeup Antenna Units generate the detection zone around an object. Antennas should be fitted at appropriate locations to provide the optimum detection zone required. Wakeup antenna units are linked together with the first unit connected to the system control unit. The number of antennas required depends on the size of the detection zone and the size of the machine or area they are fitted to. The size of the generated detection zone from each antenna is adjustable from approximately 3m to 9m. 3.3 Transponder All ZoneSafe™ Transponders are worn by all personnel or f…
