ACCeDrGEN-OMUUS, Revv C L73 Communications ON/OFF switch I When pressed for four (4) seconds, toggles the unit between the ON and OFF states. Emergency switch 0 When the emergency switch is pressed and held down for two (2) seconds, the MML enters Emergency Mode. I The emergency switch is also used to cancel the Emergency Mode. When in Emergency Mode the MML can clear the emergency indicators by pressing the Emergency button for four (4) seconds. LED Indicators I There is one dualscolor LED indicator on the top and one dual»color LED indicator on the side of the MML. The colors are red and green I The red and green lights indicate the status oftheMML. See Table 1. Table 1.

ACC-D-GEN-OM003. Rev. C L-3 Communications Audio Indicator I The audio indicator indicates the state of the MML. See Table l. Multi-purpose connector (MPC) - The MPC serves as the interface point between the MML and other hardware. o The MPC provides contacts to: U Charge battery. I Update the operational sofiware. Battery I The battery pack is composed of three NiMH cells that supplies a nominal 36 VDC with a capacity of 1.65 Ah up to 2.20 Ah. . The MML constantly receives from the mesh and transmits its status to the Mine Operation center (MOC) through the mesh network. The MML can operate in excess of 16 hours, under any and all conditions on a fully charged battery. The worse case average current draw occurs during Networkelnitiated Emergency Mode and was measured as 88 mA. - Note that as with all battery-powered devices. temperature and storage conditions can reduce battery life. To maximize battery life, store in a cool place (-20""C to 30°C (- 4°F to 86°F) with humidity from 40% to 80%. Minimize exposure to high heat above 50°C (122°F), Fully charge the battery prior to long-term storage. When in long-term storage, recharge every three months. - The battery maximum output voltage may be as high as 4.2 V, and may go as low as 3.0 V due to temperature and discharge. A WARNING - Do not replace the MML battery yourself Only a qualified technician can remove or replace the MML battery, The MML is approved for use with the NiMH rechargeable battery assembly (part no. 1101-0083, drawing number SGL2,932.008PA), 3.6V, l.65 Ah.

ANY CHANGES IN THE INTRINSICALLY-SAFE CIRCUITPY OR COMPONENTS MAY RESULT IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION, ACC-D-GEN—OMOUJ, Rev. C L-3 Communications 3 - MML Operation The MML is a tracking, mesh status and emergency status indication device. It requires minimal user interaction. The MML goes into sleep mode when inserted in its charging cradle and activates (tums ON) when removed from its charging cradle. The user need not turn it ON and OFF with the ON/OFF button, although he can if he chooses to, The LEDs and audio indicator convey the MML’s status, as shown in Table 1‘ The MML is a transceiver and therefore, in addition to allowing the Mine Operation Center (MOC) to track the MML, it provides valuable feedback to the MML users 0 The MML indicates when it goes outside the ACCOLADE mesh network. This tells users they are no longer being tracked and that they can no longer declare an emergency 0 The MML indicates when an Emergency it has declared has been received by the M00 0 The MML indicates when the MOC has cleared an Emergency. Normal Mode Normal Mode is defined as inside the ACCOLADE mesh network, with no Emergency declared and the MML’s battery at greater than 10%. Outside the Network Mode This is entered when the MML does not receive the ACCOLADE mesh network for greater than 1 minutes Low Battery Mode Low Battery Mode is defined as when the battery is less than 10 % charged, The remaining operating time of the MML when the low battery indicator activates is greater than two hours. The MML user should go above ground and recharge the MML when this mode is entered. Miner Mesh Locale! (MML) Operation 5 Mainrnnance Guide 7 DO NOT CHANGE WITHOUT APPROVAL OF MSHA.

The MML shall ignore all mesh network vorce and data traffic except: 0 “All-call” messages from the MOC. - Broadcast voice or text calls, I Voice or text calls addressed to its individual Node D). Emergency mode is entered by the MML or when the MML detects emergency traffic directed to the entire mine (broadcast or “all-call”) or specifically directed to its node II). MML Self-declared Local Emergency Mode The MML user may initiate an emergency by pressing the emergency button for 2 seconds. 1. This shall cause the MML to send a broadcast emergency text message “Emergency Declared” and enter Local Emergency Model . Other MMLs receiving this message enter Network-Initiated Emergency Mode. ' The MOC acknowledges by sending an Emergency Ack message. . If the initiating MML does not receive this acknowledgement from the MOC within 5 seconds, the intermittent buzzer will cease leaving just the flashing red LED indication. In this state, the user may re-initiate the emergency (in the hope of receiving an acknowledgement) by pressing the emergency button for two seconds. After the button has been held down for two seconds, the MML shall continue as described in step 1 (above). If the button is held for 4 seconds or more, the MML shall continue as described in step 4 (below) 2. If the initiating MML receives the acknowledgement within 5 seconds, it shall turn on the green LED and the buzzer. The buzzer shall turn off after 5 seconds, The green LED shall remain on for a further 5 sees (10 seconds total) and then turn off, leavmg just the flashing red indication. 3‘ While the MML is in local emergency mode, the user may, at any time, cancel the emergency by pressing the emergency button for 4 or more seconds. In this case, the MML shall continue as described in step 4 (below). 4. If the user cancels the local emergency by pressing the emergency button, the MML shall send a non-emergency broadcast text message “Emergency Cancelled” to notify all other units and the MOC and then revert to normal mode, Miner Mesh Locator (MML) Operation a Maintenance Guide a DO NOT CHANGE WITHOUT APPROVAL OF MSHA.

In this event, the MML shall revert to normal mode. I While in (local or network initiated) emergency mode, the MML shall ignore all-call voice messages 0 Note: This is different from the MMR, which reverts to normal mode after receiving all-call voice messages.

C L-3 Communications 4 - Maintaining the MML MML maintenance consists of charging the MML and replacing the battery. Charging an MML 0 Charge the MML to full capacity before use in fresh-air locations only (above ground) Fully charging takes less than 8 hours. a Each full charge lasts 24 hours or more under nominal conditions. 0 Recharge each MML afler each miner finishes his shifi — whether it’s a single shift (8 hours) or double shifi (16 hours). Do NOT give the MML to another miner unless it has been recharged for at least 8 hours, I Charge unused MMLs to capacity in a fresh-air location only, check them once a quarter, and recharge as needed, A WARNING . Charge the MML battery according to the manufacturer‘s directions in fresh—air locations only. Replacing the MML’s battery Have a qualified technican replace the battery afier 500 charging cycles A WARNING - Do not replace the MML battery yourself.
