Preliminary
System Operation
System
The drivers emit a magnetic field around the machine they are mounted on. The locators respond to this
magnetic field and communicate via radio frequency with the controller. The controller performs an algorithm
to determine where, in relation to the machine, the locators are. When a locator breaches one of the
configurable zones created around the machine, the proper configurable action is performed.
Zoning
Fully configurable zones based on inputs from Machine (e.g. High, Medium, Low, Cutter On, Forward, Reverse)
and outputs for the Proximity Detection System.
Multiple zones can be active simultaneously.
Each zone can have multiple personnel types applied to it.

that are not associated to this specific CM as
an operator)
 Forward Zone
 Reverse Zone
Yellow Zone
Non type-specific zone (this warning zone by
default will apply to all PWDs, both operator and
non-operator)
