Installation should be in accordance with the installation procedures defined by
GE Digital Mining Technology and must only be performed by authorized and
qualified installers.

The CAS product is a driver’s aid and should not be relied upon as the primary
means of reducing the risks of high potential interactions. Interactions include
between Heavy Vehicles, Light Vehicles, infrastructure and personnel.

GPS based proximity detection may not operate when satellites are not fully visible
in the sky (e.g. in a deep mining pit near a high-wall or under a workshop roof).
CAS-GPS products are available with RF proximity detection and visual aids to assist
in GPS black spots.

There are no user serviceable parts within the CAS-GPS Node products. Servicing of
the product including replacement of batteries must be carried out by an
authorized service agent of GE Digital Mining Technology

Alarm logic should be determined via site specific risk assessment based on the
end-users specified high risk interactions.

Do not weld on ROPs!
Do not drill through ROPs!

Proximity to Electric Detonators

The CAS-GPS system consists of various components including an in-vehicle unit
and personnel tag all of which are equipped with multiple radio
transmitters. AS2187-2:2006 table I1, recommends a safe operating distance from
any designated blasting area as greater than 20 meters. AS2187-2:2006 table I1 is
an Australian Standard and operators and users should have regard to all relevant
and applicable standards which may apply within the country of use. Operators and
users should also have regard to all detonator and blasting contractor and
manufacturer recommendations and all applicable safety and operational
procedures applicable at the site where the CAS-GPS System is used and which
relate to safe operating distances. Details of operating frequency and output power
of the various CAS-GPS System components are set out in the CAS-GPS specification
and user documentation. Operators and users should make their own assessment
in this regard

3.5 Definitions

Term

Definition

“system”

Refers to the assembled and installed operational elements which together perform
the desired functionality.

“system components”

Refers to the individual single elements which when assembled together at the
point of installation form the “system”. Each of these elements has a unique part
number.

4 Transport

All possible precautions are taken to protect the equipment against damage or losses during shipment, however before
accepting delivery, check all items against the packing list or Bill of Lading. If there are shortages or evidence of
physical damage, notify GE Digital Mining Technology immediately.

Notify GE Digital Mining Technology within 7 days (maximum) in case of shortages or discrepancies, according to the
packing list. This action will help ensure a speedy resolution to any perceived problems. Keep a record of all claims and
correspondence. Photographs are recommended.

Where practicable do not remove protective covers prior to installation unless there are indications of damage. Boxes
opened for inspection and inventory should be carefully repacked to ensure protection of the contents or else the
parts should be packaged and stored in a safe place. Examine all packing boxes, wrappings and covers for items
attached to them, especially if the wrappings are to be discarded.

The CAS-GPS NODE products contain lithium batteries with no more than 5Ah of capacity as well as several radio

transmitting components. It is mandatory that these products be fully discharged or placed into ‘transit mode’ before

shipping via air freight.
