Engineering Safety • Advancing Automation

System Warnings & Disclaimers

It is important that all users / personnel that may come into contact with the IntelliZone™ Proximity Detection System understand it’s purpose. It is NOT a safety system. It is a training aid developed to teach users safe operating habits. User / Operator assumes full responsibility for control of the machine upon which the system is installed. User / Operator assumes full liability for the maintenance and operation of the IntelliZone™ Proximity Detection System.

System Warning Label

The Matrix IntelliZone™ System includes several highly visible WARNING labels located on the front of the machine-mounted Drivers, and the user-carried Locators. All users / personnel that may come into contact with an IntelliZone™ Proximity Detection System equipped machine should familiarize themselves with all WARNINGS associated with the system. Additional WARNING labels for the IntelliZone™ System are available free-of-charge as requested.

IntelliZone™ System Introduction

Engineering Safety • Advancing Automation

Objective

The intent of IntelliZone™ Proximity Detection is to provide a practical, mine-duty system that will automatically warn personnel when they are entering a potentially hazardous area around a machine. The system must be able to disable some or all machine functions if a particular zone is breached.

System Overview

The Matrix IntelliZone™ Proximity Detection System assists with training personnel to stay clear of dangerous zones present around potentially hazardous equipment. The System is designed for use on mobile equipment such as continuous miners, mobile haulage, and other light and heavy vehicles. The System is typically configured for two operational awareness zones: a “shutdown zone” (red) can be defined closest to the equipment and a “warning zone” (yellow) can be defined to extend a moderate distance from the equipment. When an IntelliZone™ Locator is detected within the red zone, the System will prompt the equipment to immediately shutdown some or all of its functions. When an IntelliZone™ Locator is detected within the yellow zone, the System will prompt the equipment to reduce its speed or influence other changes in operation. If a Locator is detected within either zone, the System will initiate highly-visible flashing lights and an audible alarm on the Locator and Drivers to warn personnel of potential hazards.

Additional IntelliZone™ awareness zones can be configured as needed and are customizable to specific equipment and applications.

Standard Miner Configuration

Consists of a shutdown zone (red) and warning zone (yellow), as well as operator zone (green) while cutting. These zones are configurable through software.

IntelliZone™ System Introduction

Expanding Mobile Equipment Zones

Directional Mobile Equipment Zones

On mobile equipment, zones can be configured to react to the equipment’s direction. This prevents the machine from being shut down by personnel walking behind it.

On mobile equipment, zones can be configured to expand as the machine accelerates. Oversized zones are no longer required on faster moving equipment.

Articulating Machinery

On articulating machinery, the zones can configured to react to the pivoting of the machine. This enables the zones to remain consistent even when the machine is articulated.

Operator (Green) Zone

Operator zones can be configured using the Intellizone GUI. These operator zones are critical in that it allows the associated Locator to be in the area without shutting down the machinery.

MX3-IZ Driver

The MSHA-approved Driver allows for tracking of multiple Locators. The Driver is machined from rugged polycarbonate and incorporates multi-color LEDs used for diagnostics and zone identifications.

MX3-IZ Locator

The MSHA-approved Locator is the device the operator wears and that is tracked around the machine. The Locator also has a built-in audible and visible warning. The operator uses this device to associate/dissociate. It can be worn in a pouch or using a belt clip.

IntelliZone™ System Introduction

MX3-IZ Controller

The Controller is the central processor for the IntelliZone™ System. It communicates to the mobile equipment and Locators and provides power to 4 machine-mounted Drivers. Personnel can connect to the Controller wirelessly (w/ adaptor) or with an Ethernet cable to adjust settings and view system diagnostics. This device IS NOT intrinsically safe and MUST be inside an explosion-proof enclosure when used in MSHA-regulated environments.

MX3-IZ Software Key

The Software Key must be installed on the Controller for the system to function. It can be moved to a new Controller in event of a failure. This stores the machine configuration and provides an Industrial Ethernet connection. The Software Key IS NOT intrinsically safe and MUST be inside an explosionproof enclosure when used in MSHA-regulated environments.

MX3-IZ Interconnect Board

The Interconnect Board is the hub for all relays, inputs, outputs, power, etc. that interfaces to the Controller. This board mounts below the Controller and is designed for easy access to all wiring terminals. The Interconnect Board IS NOT intrinsically safe and MUST be inside an explosion-proof enclosure when used in MSHA-regulated environments.

Controller XP Box

This MSHA-approved enclosure houses the Controller, Software Key, and Interconnect Board. It features 7 ports that use 1.125-12 packing gland assemblies to ensure the enclosure remains explosion proof.

IntelliZone™ System Introduction

Power Supply XP Box

This MSHA-approved enclosure houses the Intellizone Power Supply. It features 4 ports that use 1.125-12 packing gland assemblies to ensure the enclosure remains explosion proof.

Splitter XP Box

This MSHA-approved enclosure is used to minimize the number of Controller XP Box ports needed. Typically 2 Splitter XP Boxes are used per system; one being placed on each side of the machinery. It features 4 ports that use 1.125-12 packing gland assemblies to ensure the enclosure remains explosion proof.
