Aerial Harness Training System Installation Guide
RECON DYNAMICS AERIAL HARNESS TRAINING SYSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE © 2018 Recon Dynamics, LLC | v2.4 2 Overview The RECON Aerial Harness Training System is designed to assist in the training, notification and monitoring for proper use of an aerial safety harness. The system provides the lift operator an audible warning of unsafe usage of the lift when the operator has not clipped in to the lift (like not using a safety belt in a vehicle). In addition, the system can monitor for unsafe usage and report this information to safety and operations personnel to improve lift safety compliance. The Aerial Harness Training System once installed on the vehicle requires setup through the Recon Asset Management System (RAMS) to establish communication between the ProxBox and sensors. PROCEDURE This procedure is written in the context of mounting the aerial harness training system onto a typical bucket vehicle or squirt boom. There may be configurations of bucket vehicles that this installation guide does not cover. It is recommended to consult with Recon Dynamics customer support in such an instance to ensure proper functionality of the system. For support visit www.recondynamics.com customer support portal or call customer support at 877-480-3551.

RECON DYNAMICS AERIAL HARNESS TRAINING SYSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE © 2018 Recon Dynamics, LLC | v2.4 3 ProxBox Installation Once installation is complete access your account and complete the setup. Refer to the provisioning section in this guide for further details. If you do not have an account, contact RECON Dynamics customer support. Based on information Recon receives on your company contacts, users and structure, an account will be created for you to access. PRE-INSTALLATION PROXBOX • Inspect the vehicle prior to installing the ProxBox to determine the best location for mounting the ProxBox and antenna. • Document any information regarding the vehicle or equipment the ProxBox is being installed on for input into the Recon system. • Document the serial number of the ProxBox for input into the Recon system. • Criteria for mounting a ProxBox: o Mount the ProxBox on a surface large enough that all 4 mounting points can be used. o Mount the ProxBox close enough to the front of a vehicle so the power cable can be hooked up to the vehicle's main battery with the supplied cable length. Extending the supplied power cord is acceptable to increase mounting options. o Mount the ProxBox such that no tools or equipment will damage it while they are in use or being stored on the vehicle. o Mount the ProxBox as high as possible and as far away from any nearby metal obstructions to minimize interference with the gray top. o See Appendix A for installation examples. It may be necessary to fabricate a mounting plate or structure to create the proper mounting condition for the ProxBox and patch antenna, which would then need to be mounted (welded or bolted), to the vehicle. PATCH ANTENNA • The recommended placement of the patch antenna should be located as high as possible with a good visibility to the back of the vehicle and separated as far away from the ProxBox as possible. Depending on the location of the battery, a typical installation has the ProxBox mounted on the driver’s side of the vehicle and the patch antenna mounted on the passenger’s side roughly 2-3 feet away. • Criteria for mounting the patch antenna:
RECON DYNAMICS AERIAL HARNESS TRAINING SYSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE © 2018 Recon Dynamics, LLC | v2.4 4 o Mount the patch antenna such that the antenna front (curved portion) is facing to the back of the vehicle. The best location is typically directly behind the cab of the vehicle. o Mount the patch antenna close enough to the ProxBox so the antenna cable can be connected to the ProxBox with the supplied cable length without stressing the connector. o Mount the patch antenna such that no tools or equipment will damage it while they are in use or being stored on the vehicle. o Mount the antenna as high as possible to minimize any interference. o See Appendix A for installation examples. Figure 1 Figure 1 shows the typical routing of the power cable and component placement for the ProxBox system. ANTENNA PROXBOX Battery FUSE
RECON DYNAMICS AERIAL HARNESS TRAINING SYSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE © 2018 Recon Dynamics, LLC | v2.4 5 INSTALLATION PROXBOX INSTALLATION • Use the mounting flanges as a drill template and center punch to mark locations to drill. Mount the ProxBox using the vibration mounting kit. Ensure all metal surfaces are touched up with paint after drilling to avoid corrosion. • Route supplied power cable from ProxBox to the vehicle's main battery, the bare end (no connector) is to be routed. Ensure when routing the power cable that it is well protected, so nothing can damage it once installed. Do not connect power to the ProxBox until patch antenna is connected. • Secure cable to the vehicle using tie wraps. It is recommended to use wire loom for added protection. • It is best to leave the power cable at full length and just bundle up excess cable with a wire tie. But, if necessary, cut excess length from the cable. • Strip the pre-tinned wire leads back far enough to connect to both posts of the battery. The 18 AWG red “hot” wire requires and inline 10A fuse added (not included). Add appropriate size ring terminals (not included) to the end of each wire. Shock hazard! Be very careful when connecting leads to the battery. • Attach black lead to the ground post of the battery. Attach red lead to the hot post of battery. Ensure both connections are bolted tightly to battery and power cable fuse is routed to eliminate potential damage. PATCH ANTENNA INSTALLATION • Before mounting ensure antenna cable will easily reach the ProxBox connector marked “Ant”. • Attach Patch antenna using a minimum of (2) screws (not included) to a solid surface, (4) screws are recommended though. Use the antenna as a drill template and center punch to mark locations to drill. Do not over tighten screws or bolts as the antenna is plastic and will be damaged. Ensure all metal surfaces are touched up with paint after drilling to avoid corrosion. Do not mount antenna using glue, tape or tie wraps. • Route cable from patch antenna to ProxBox. • Secure excess cable neatly using wire ties. It is recommended to use wire loom for added protection.
RECON DYNAMICS AERIAL HARNESS TRAINING SYSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE © 2018 Recon Dynamics, LLC | v2.4 6 Ensure when routing the antenna cable that it is well protected, so nothing can damage it once installed. • Connect cable to ProxBox and hand tighten. Refer to Figure 2 for ProxBox port identity. • Wrap connector with supplied coax seal tape to completely cover the connection then mold around cable and connector to weatherize connection. Inspect to ensure connection is fully covered. FINAL POWER UP • Re-inspect all cable routing and connections to ensure completion. Re-inspect battery connection for proper polarity. • Measure voltage at the power connector to verify 12 to 24 volts will be supplied to the ProxBox. • The ProxBox power connector is keyed. Inspect the connector on the ProxBox and power cord connector and properly align keys. Once the power cord is fully seated on to the power connector a final ¼ turn clockwise is required to secure the power connection. Refer to Figure 2 for ProxBox port identity. • The ProxBox has a blue, green and red LED on the bottom between the ports. When all three LED are lite the ProxBox is operational. This can take 5-6 minutes. Refer to appendix B for the LED status reference table and troubleshooting guide. The ProxBox has a hibernation mode designed to reduce current draw when a vehicle is not used for extended periods of time. If a vehicle has a weak battery it will need to be turned on to ensure the ProxBox does not go into hibernation mode during installation of the Aerial Harness Training system. Refer to the LED reference table in appendix B for LED status during hibernation mode. Figure 2ProxBox Patch Antenna Power Port Antenna Port
RECON DYNAMICS AERIAL HARNESS TRAINING SYSTEM INSTALLATION GUIDE © 2018 Recon Dynamics, LLC | v2.4 7 Wireless Sensor Installation RECON AUDIBLE SENSOR (RASR) • Inspect the vehicle prior to installing the RASR to determine the best location for mounting. For ease of installation mount this sensor close to the ProxBox and route the power wire the same as the ProxBox power wire. • Criteria for mounting a RASR: o Mount the RASR on a surface large enough that the two mounting points of the mounting bracket can be utilized. o Mount the RASR close enough to the front of a vehicle and pointed to the back of the vehicle so the power cable can be hooked up to the vehicle's main battery with the supplied cable length. If this is not possible the power cable will need to be extended. o Mount the RASR such that no tools or equipment will damage it while they are in use or being stored on the vehicle. It may be necessary to fabricate a mounting plate or structure to create the proper mounting condition for the RASR, which would then need to be mounted (welded or bolted), to the vehicle. WIRELESS BOOM SENSOR AND BOOM MAGNET • The recommended placement for the boom sensor and magnet is as shown in figure 1. The sensor should be mounted to the lower arm of the boom or pedestal and the boom magnet should be mounted to the upper arm of the boom. • Criteria for mounting the boom sensor: o Mount the boom sensor and magnet such that during use of the boom vehicle nothing will damage them such as trees, poles or buildings. o Mount the boom sensor and magnet no more than half the length of the upper boom arm away from the bucket. This ensures the system detects boom up as early as possible. WIRELESS BUCKET SENSOR(S) • The Aerial Harness Training system supports up to 2 bucket sensors. This allows boom operators to clip into either the primary or a secondary location. The second bucket sensor is optional. • The installation criteria for both bucket sensors are the same o Mount the bucket sensor as close to the D-ring as possible o Once the bucket sensor is installed it cannot implead the boom operator’s ability to clip in.
