Installation should be in accordance with the installation procedures defined by
GE Mining and must only be performed by authorised and qualified installers.
The CAS product is a driver’s aid and should not be relied upon as the primary
means of reducing the risks of high potential interactions. Interaction include
between Heavy Vehicles, Light Vehicles, infrastructure and personnel.
GPS based proximity detection may not operate when satellites are not fully visible
in the sky (e.g. in a deep mining pit near a high-wall or under a workshop roof).
Consideration should be given to supplementing GPS with RF proximity detection
and visual aids.
Alarm logic should be determined via site specific risk assessment based on the
end-users specified high risk interactions.
The CAS product does not take control of the vehicle although can provide inhibit
signals to prevent movement from a stationary position – implementation will
require approval from the vehicle OEM, vehicle owner and GE and a detailed risk
assessment conducted.
Do not weld on ROPs!
Do not drill through ROPs!

Definition
“system”
Refers to the assembled and installed operational elements which together perform
the desired functionality.
“system components”
Refers to the individual single elements which when assembled together at the
point of installation form the “system”. Each of these elements has a unique part
number.
4 Transport
All possible precautions are taken to protect the equipment against damage or losses during shipment, however before
accepting delivery, check all items against the packing list or Bill of Lading. If there are shortages or evidence of
physical damage, notify GE Mining immediately.
Notify GE Mining within 7 days (maximum) in case of shortages or discrepancies, according to the packing list. This
action will help ensure a speedy resolution to any perceived problems. Keep a record of all claims and correspondence.
Photographs are recommended.
Where practicable do not remove protective covers prior to installation unless there are indications of damage. Boxes
opened for inspection and inventory should be carefully repacked to ensure protection of the contents or else the parts
should be packaged and stored in a safe place. Examine all packing boxes, wrappings and covers for items attached to
them, especially if the wrappings are to be discarded.

5 Storage
Where the equipment is not to be installed immediately, proper storage is important to ensure protection of equipment and
validity of warranty.
All equipment should be stored indoors protected from the elements in a cool dry area. If storing on the ground,
ensure that the storage area is not an area where water will collect.
All equipment which contains batteries, must be placed in “Transit Mode” prior to storage. This mode disables the battery.
6 Unpacking of Equipment
The method of packing used will depend on the size and quantity of equipment.
7 Installation
Installation should be in accordance with the installation procedures defined by GE Mining. The installations must only be
performed by authorised and qualified installers.
8 Test & Commission
At installation time, the system must be checked against the installation test procedure (ITP) to verify the system is
correctly installed and functioning as required. After passing its final installation test, the system is then ready for
use after which inbuilt self- diagnostic testing combined with daily user monitoring ensures that any faults can be acted
upon.
Take care when unpacking the equipment to avoid damage.

9.4.1.2 Suction Cup Installation of PDA Cradle In Vehicle
Clean the mounting surface thoroughly. Ensure that the surface is completely dry and free of any dirt or residue. For
best results use rubbing alcohol or similar to clean the surface prior to installation.
Determine placement of your suction cup by using the cradle as a guide.
Once satisfied with the location for the suction cup, remove the cradle from the suction cup and push the suction
cup into place – the suction cup should hold in this position without any weight on it.
Ensure the rotational alignment is correct.
Push the locking lever towards the mounting surface to secure in place.
Adjust the Up/Down and Left/Right Alignment of the cradle by releasing the adjustment screws and moving the
cradle with your hand.

9.4.2.6 Using the PDA Display
On Vehicle Start-up
Immediately after starting the vehicle and before putting it into motion, perform a quick check of the Display’s status bar.
Check that none of the icons are Red, if so your CAS GPS system is not functioning correctly and its operation cannot be
assured!
Vehicle in Motion
When your vehicle is moving you can operate using your normal safe operating procedures. The Display will sound an
alarm to gain your attention if there is another vehicle that is getting too close. A quick glance at the display will show
the location, type, ID, heading and speed of other vehicles.
If any of the CAS Icons are red the system may not be operating correctly.
On Startup, the GPS will assume you are facing 'North' until a heading has been
established by forward movement.
If a nearby vehicle’s beams are overlapping your vehicles beam an audible
alarm will be sounded. Only when your vehicle is stationary may you silence the
alarm by touching anywhere on the screen.
You cannot silence the alarm whilst your vehicle is in motion.
