4.2.7 GNSS coverage
4.2.7.1 To properly locate and track the rockfall events, RockSpot requires an accurate GNSS measure of the Survey Unit
position and orientation. In the absence of adequate satellite coverage, the measure provided by the integrated GNSS
compass may not be sufficiently accurate and might lead to inaccurate or less accurate tracking performances than
reported in the data sheet. IDS GeoRadar does not assume any liability whatsoever for such inaccurate or less
accurate tracking performances based on missing or inadequate GNSS measures.
4.2.8 Alarm devices operation
4.2.8.1 Alarm activation by RockSpot system, requires that appropriate alarm devices (such as sirens, traffic lights, barriers
etc.) are correctly connected and working. In case of alarm devices not correctly connected or not working, the alarm
activation will therefore not be possible. Hence, it´s the user´s responsibility to connect appropriate alarm devices
only as well as to assure that they are correctly connected, properly working and maintained.
4.2.9 Network connection
4.2.9.1 Alarm messages dispatch by RockSpot system, requires an appropriate LAN or WAN connection. In the absence
of adequate connection, messages dispatch cannot be guaranteed. The user is responsible to provide for the
operation and the maintenance of such appropriate LAN or WAN connection.
4.2.10 Mobile phone coverage
4.2.10.1 Alarm messages dispatch by RockSpot system, requires an appropriate mobile phone communication network
coverage. In the absence of adequate coverage, messages dispatch cannot be guaranteed. Hence, it´s the user´s
responsibility to provide for an appropriate mobile phone communication network coverage.
