15.5 Personnel Tag (PT) Unit
15.5.1 Operational Care
• The visual / audible alarm contained within the Personnel Tag Unit must not be
obstructed with foreign objects in order to reduce alarm output levels as this is the
primary means of notifying personnel of potential collisions with Heavy Vehicles.
• Charge or replace battery pack when ‘battery low’ alarm is ON.
15.5.2 Pre-Operation Inspection
• Check that the PT unit is correctly fitted with fully charged battery
15.5.3 Startup Inspection
• Check that the power indicator is ON
• Check that the ‘battery low’ alarm is OFF
15.5.4 Operational Checks
• Drive past the Test Station (TS) and verify detection. The Test Station rotating
beacon should also switch on when the Personnel Tag enters the programmed
Detection Zone.

Routine Checks
• Check PT unit operation at the Test Station (TS).
• Check operation of battery charger unit.

Monthly Checks
• Check that the antenna is securely screwed onto the Rotating Beacon Unit
enclosure and located in the upright position. Tighten and straighten by hand if
necessary (secure using Loctite 243).

other tagged object. The tagged object should also alarm when within the TS
Detection Zone.

system (where fitted).
