9.5 Type P Node Installation
The Type P Node is attached to the vehicle using a magnetic base. The Node must be installed on the vehicle such that:-
• It has a flat smooth and clear surface to fix to
• It does not protrude from the vehicle
or in a position where it may be
damaged
• It does not obstruct the driver’s view
• It has a clear line of sight to the sky
• It is a minimum of 200mm away
from any other communication
antenna
• Magnets should be kept clean from
dust for maximum effect.
• It is mounted in a position so that all
3 magnets are positively attached to
a ferromagnetic vehicle surface
• This node is mounted no less than
200mm from vehicle occupants to
limit maximum permissible
exposure to electromagnetic
radiation generated by the radio
components
• Ensure that the dust-cap with chain is secured to the connector on the Roof Unit.
WARNING
The PROD1116-P variant is often attached to the vehicle by magnets & as such is subject to
dislodgement when mis-treated. The following recommendations should be observed:
• Recommended maximum speed of 80 km / h
• Portable System is intended for Light Vehicles only on a mine site and not intended for use on public
roads at high speed
• Portable System is designed for short-term operation (e.g. 1 shift) with daily recharging and not
intended for permanent use
• Avoid harsh braking whilst in use to minimize the chance of the node becoming dislodged in a
dangerous manner.
For the GPS to work accurately the Node must have clear line of sight to the sky.
Obstructions such as machine structure, work roof or deep pit may affect the
accuracy or operation of the GPS.
