3 SAFETY

WARNING

Any changes or modifications not expressively approved by Square One Laboratories
(Australia) Pty Ltd could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

WARNING

The Agile system must be installed by qualified and authorised technicians. Failure to use
approved accessories specifically for the Agile equipment may result in the system
operating in a dangerously unsafe condition.

OVERHEAD POWER LINES

When inspectingantennas and solar panels care must be taken. Insure there is clear space
at all times from overhead power lines. Do not erect any ladderor associated climbing
equipment if power lines are in the vicinity.

ANTENNA

The Agile Base Unit and Agile Remote Units when powered can emit radio energy from
their antenna. Care must be taken not to hold on to the antenna of a powered unit.
Deliberate misuse of the product could result in harm. Do not use any Agile Base Unit or
Agile Remote Unit that has a damaged antenna or antenna cable.

BATTERIES

Only use approved batteries in the Agile Radio equipment. All batteries can cause damage
to equipment, property and/or bodily injury, such as burns. If a conductive material such as
jewellery, keys, or tools touch exposed terminals the conductive material may complete an
electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged
battery, particularly when placing it inside container with metal objects. The AgileRadio
System uses sealed lead acid batteries as a power source. Do not puncture the case of the
battery. Always dispose of a used battery in a responsible manner.

4 INTRODUCTION

Figure: 4-1 Agile System Overview

4.1 Agile Host Unit

The AgileHost functions as acommunication interface between the control device and the wireless
platform namely the Base Radio Unit and the Remote Units.

4.2 Agile Base Unit

The Base Unit is the communication [radio] platform between the Remote Units and the Host. The Base
Unit stores the communication map of the network. The Agile Base can manage up to 254 remote units
in a wireless network including the option of using multi-layer store & forward (SAF) repeaters.
