5. OPERATION

There is communication between the personal tag and the antenna on the forklift truck in situations

of danger, that is, when the exclusion zone around the forklift truck has been invaded.

The safety system then triggers a warning signal (acoustic and visual alarm).

The purpose of the Test Tag on the forklift truck is to ensure that the system is operative as an

indispensable condition for using the forklift truck.

Whenever a person wearing a T-10 safety transponder enters the danger area, the T-10 safety

transponder is electronically detected, activating the warning systems on the forklift truck.

6. SYSTEM COMPONENTS

The PAS safety system consists of 6 modules:

 Activator antenna (AC-50)
 LF antenna
 Self-control tag (TT-50)
 Safety transponder (T-10)
 Transponder test antenna (AV-50)
 Control software SW-10
