1 Introduction

ZoneSafe is a proximity warning and alert system for minimising collision risks to workers and assets in a working environment.

The system uses Active RFID tags worn by workers or tted to assets. These are detected when in close proximity and activate an audible visual alarm to indicate a risk to equipment operators.

Antenna units installed on the equipment produce a 360° detection zone. This is user congurable and can be set to detect tags from a range of 3m to 9m distance. Using antenna units either single, multiple or overlapping detection zones can be set up and congured depending on vehicle type and detection requirements.

Driver tags are placed into a tag holder located on the top of the control unit when the machine is operational. This enables the drivers tag to be logged and prevent it from being detected. If a driver tag is not inserted in the holder, an audible alarm will sound.

The system is typically installed on to materials handling equipment, industrial lift equipment, support equipment and heavy plant.

Disclaimer:

As supplied the ZoneSafe system oers an indication to risk via audible and visual warnings only. ZoneSafe is not to be used as a protective device, initiate or perform safety related functions or take over control to prevent accidents.

When a pedestrian tag or asset tag enters the 3m to 9m detection zone, an audible and visual alarm is activated from the incab control unit indicating to the equipment operator that a tagged person or asset is in close proximity to the vehicle.

The system maintains an event log and stores up to 4000 individual events. Events can be viewed either using an internet browser connected to the control unit via Wi-Fi direct or by automatic upload via a Wi-Fi access point at my.zonesafe.net.

NOTE:

ZoneSafe must be tted and commissioned by an approved installer. No responsibility will be accepted for damage to systems caused by incorrect installation or misuse.

Detection accuracy will depend on environmental and installation factors.

3 How the System Works

ZoneSafe is a tag based system using active radio frequency identication (RFID) technology. The system comprises of an in-cab control unit with either single or multiple antenna units installed onto equipment, and active tags worn by workers or tted to assets.

Three groups of active RFID tags are available, Driver Tags, Pedestrian Tags and Tuf Tags. A number of tag options are available within these groups.

Driver Tag

TufTag

The Control unit provides the overall functionality of the system and acts as the user interface. The unit contains a battery backed real-time clock for precisely logging tag detect events, internal memory to store event data and a Wi-Fi interface for communication. A relay is available for additional external sounders or beacons.

The Control unit is mounted in the driver cab next to the operator so it can be clearly visible at all times. Audible alerts are emitted from a sounder located on the front, a light panel and button create visual alerts and indicate various alarm states. The button can be congured to acknowledge the detection of one or more tags.

The table of alarms indicates the types of alarms that the control unit will highlight. The alarm state demonstrates each alarm colour sequence (note- black indicates the light is o).

4.2 Antenna Unit

The Antenna Unit creates a detection zone around the vehicle or asset. Antennas should be tted at appropriate locations to provide the optimum detection zone required (see 6.2.1 Antenna Mounting).

Antenna units are linked (in series) to the system Control Unit. The number of antennas required depends on the size of the vehicle and detection zone around it. Each antenna detection zone can be adjusted between 3 - 9 metres (see 8.2.2 Antenna Switches).

4.6 TufTags

TufTag is our cone mounted active tag and integrates seamlessly with our ZoneSafe proximity warning systems. Designed to protect static assets, the TufTag can be used in any situation where a vehicle operator needs to be alerted to a potential hazard.

pad as shown.

4.3 Tags

Tags are worn by all personnel. When a tag enters the detection zone around a vehicle or asset, a visual and audible alarm is provided from the in cab control unit to warn the machine operator. Each tag is factory congured with a unique ID and can be used on any ZoneSafe enabled job site.

Tags within the proximity of a detection zone will be logged by the control unit. The data logged from the tag includes its unique ID, date/time and battery status.

4.4 Driver Tag

A Driver Tag is required for the driver of the vehicle and for the system to work. The tag is placed into the Control Unit (see 5.1 On Sequence), which not only arms the system but also masks itself from the antenna. If the vehicle is started, and there is no tag present, the control unit will automatically alarm emiting the no tag alarm tone.The driver must take the tag with them when they exit the vehicle.

NOTE: It is essential that all personnel on the work site wear a tag.

1. Connect and t the battery and tighten the cap.

2. Take o the top cap and t the tag through the neck of the cone from the inside. Hold the cone horizontally and extend your arm to help push it through the neck or place on top of another cone to push the tag through.

3. Squeeze the neck of the cone and screw the top cap on.

4. Tighten the top cap with the card spanner tool.

4.5 Wireless Tag Charger

The wireless tag charger is used to charge any style of ZoneSafe rechargable tag such as the VibraTag by simply connecting the charger via the mini USB cable to a power source and placing the tag on top of the charging pad. For further information, please see the following section.

4.7 Plus Tag Tester

The Plus Tag Tester provides an easy way to test the status of any ZoneSafe / Eureka tag. We recommend personnel check their tag battery status daily before entering the job site. The unit reads a tag and displays the status of the battery using indicator LEDs. Daily use of the tag test unit ensures tag batteries are always in a serviceable condition.
