Care must be taken during installation as the power connection may differ. Work on electric equipment or materials must be done by qualified electricians or other professionals, or assistants under supervision and control. The local electric technical and electric safety regulations must always be observed. Replace the fuse with ones that provide the same over-current protections as the original fuses. Refer to the data sheet for more details. WARNING RISK OF ELECTROCUTION!
Electrocution could cause death or severe injury. Work on electric equipment or materials must be done by qualified electricians or other professionals, or assistants under supervision and control. The local electric technical and electric safety regulations must always be observed. 4.1.1 Newtrax Vehicle Device Combining Newtrax MineProx technology with the ranging distances acquired by the multiple PRSs installed on the vehicle to position in 2D the vehicles and pedestrians that are also equipped with Newtrax CxS-enabled devices also enables the following:
28 (106) Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc Operator's Manual Displays remote objects in the vicinity on its User Interface (UI) with the use of:
- MineProx RO count by type
- CxS Bullseye that shows the distance of the nearest RO in its specific sector. Provides Slowdown and Stop advisory notifications on the UI when ROs are within the configured distance threshold Triggers vehicle-controlled Slowdown and Slow to stop interventions, with the use of ISO 21815-2 over CAN when ROs are within a certain distance threshold Stores and forwards significant MineProx events over Wi-Fi and LTE back to OptiMine Mining Data Platform (MDP) for reporting Provides notification when the link is lost with a PRS or with the VIC. Note!
Refer to NVD operator manual for more information on the NVD core components and other features which are not related to CxS. Note!
Only trained personnel must use the NVD. 4.1.2 Newtrax Multi-Function Display (MFD) The Newtrax Multi-Function Display (MFD) is a tablet that runs the CxS situational awareness application and provides the following features:

Note!
Note!
Only trained personnel must use the MFD. The operator must wait for the MFD to initialize before using the vehicle. 4.1.3 Proximity Ranging Sensor (PRS) WARNING RISK OF COLLISION!
Damage to the Proximity Ranging Sensor (PRS) can put the operator and others at risk. The PRS detects CxS-enabled vehicles, pedestrians equipped with CxS-enabled cap lamps, and CxS-enabled fixed beacons. Each PRS must be checked regularly to make sure it is functioning properly. It is recommended to check at least once at the beginning of the shift and once during the shift. The PRS provides the following features:
Dual RF technology measures the distance between the vehicle and remote object up to 100m with increased precision within 20 meters Line-of-sight visual indication of proximity to pedestrians and other equipment with integrated bright multicolored LEDs 30 (106) Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc Operator's Manual The PRSs are connected to the NVDs CAN port with or without the CAN isolator, which depends on the number of PRSs on the vehicle Up to 6 PRSs can be installed on the vehicle, depending on the size of the vehicle. For more information on the PRS, refer to NTX-PRS-001-000 data sheet. 4.1.4 CAN Isolator There are 4 CAN ports for the PRSs, 1 CAN port for the NVD, and 1 CAN port for a Vehicle Intervention Controller (VIC). The CAN Isolators have the following features:
The Newtrax CAN Isolator forwards CAN messages between the 6 CAN ports based on a custom routing configuration with the use of M12 connections. The unit is designed to isolate the data from each CAN port and provide fast and bidirectional data between all the CAN ports. It also isolates power, so a short circuit on one CAN line does not affect all devices. This is achieved with an internal resettable fuse for each CAN port. For more information on the CAN Isolator refer to NTX-CAN-ISO-005 data sheet. 4.1.4.1 Power Cable - CAN Isolator The CAN Isolator power cable (HD2M12-FF1-L30) is necessary to power the CAN Isolator and the PRSs connected to it.

If the NVD loses external power during operation, the vehicle will be shown as parked to other NVDs and will not be positioned on the Bullseye of other CxS-enabled vehicles. The NVD must be configured and commissioned to enable the NVD LCD CxS Bullseye or MFD CxS Application. Only Newtrax certified personnel must configure and commission the NVD. Refer to CxS Technical Manual for instructions. WARNING RISK OF COLLISION!
Intentional or accidental damage to a part of the Proximity Detection System (PDS) or Collision Warning System (CWS) or Vehicle Intervention Controller (VIC) may compromise the ability to report any detection of remote objects that can put people and vehicles in the area at risk of a collision that could result in death or severe injury. The system must be checked regularly to make sure that the device is functioning properly. It is recommended to check at least once at the beginning of the shift and once during the shift. For more information, refer to System Verification and Maintenance (Page 86). WARNING RISK OF COLLISION!
Intentional or accidental damage to a part of the PDS or CxS may compromise the ability to report any detection of remote objects that can put people and vehicles in the area at risk of a collision that could result in death or severe injury. The operator must wait for the User Interface (UI) to be initialized before using the vehicle. If a worker realizes that the system or any component is not working properly or if found damaged, then they must report it immediately. Mine safety working procedures must be followed. If there is no directive, then the vehicle must not be used in normal operation. 5.1.1 Modes of Operation The Collision Warning System measures the distance and the position of light vehicles and heavy vehicles with respect to the Local Object (LO), by combining the measurements obtained by the Proximity Ranging Sensors 36 (106) Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc Operator's Manual
(PRS) that are installed on the equipment. The relative position and distance of the Remote Object are displayed on a 360-degree bullseye, on either the Newtrax Vehicle Device (NVD) or the Multi-Function Display
(MFD). These Remote Objects are prioritized on the display with three distance-
based zones around the equipment that each have a corresponding color, depending on their severity, such as Green (Low), Yellow (Medium), and Red (High). As an additional visual indication of an oncoming Remote Object, the PRSs embedded LEDs blink the color of the most severely breached zone. The CWS also gives audible and visible advisory notifications to Slowdown or Stop which depend on the distance and position of the Remote Object with respect to the traveling course of the equipment. 5.1.1.1 CWS Without Telemetry The current solution has fixed-sized zones that are adapted to each model and designed by taking into consideration many factors, such as the maximum speed, maximum gear, braking performance of the equipment, and system delays. 5.1.1.2 CWS with Telemetry Connecting the Collision Warning System (CWS) to the OptiMine Mobile Equipment Telemetry (MET), which can give machine speed, speed limit, direction, and gear in real-time, allows the CWS to modulate the zone sizes and advisory notifications dynamically based on these inputs, therefore reduces the nuisance alarms. Additionally, these telemetry parameters that are shared with the CWS are displayed on the Multi-Function Display (MFD), if installed. Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc 37 (106) Operator's Manual Note!
This mode of operation is not available in the current release of the manual. Contact your Newtrax representative for more information. 5.1.1.3 Collision Avoidance System (CAS) The Collision Avoidance System capability can be unlocked by interfacing with an Intervention Controller that complies with the ISO21815-2 protocol -
the standard Collision warning and avoidance communication interface for earth-moving machinery. When the Remote Object breaches the most critical zones, the Collision Avoidance System (CAS) will send a signal to the Intervention Controller to request a controlled machine Slow-down or even a Slow-to-Stop, if the object is in extremely close proximity. It will also inhibit motion when the system detects a Remote Object in close proximity or if an anomaly with the system is detected. Some Intervention Controllers could also be used as telemetry input if that system allows it. Enabling the CAS module also enables the Override button on the display (Only available on the MFD). The latter can be touched to override a Stop or Stand-Down signal requested by the CAS to the Intervention Controller. 38 (106) Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc Operator's Manual Note!
This mode of operation is not available in the current release covered in this manual. Contact your Newtrax representative for more information. 5.1.2 Initialization of Application Note!
Before operating the vehicle, the operator must wait for the screen to initialize. After the NVD was configured to perform CWS/CAS, the CxS Application initializes automatically on the NVD and the MFD (if equipped) at power-up.

If the CxS system is used without the proper Multi-Function Display
(MFD) configuration, this could lead to a collision that could result in death or severe injury. If you change the orientation of the Multi-
Function Display (MFD) physically, it will shut the Bullseye and prompt an error message indicating that the MFD is not in the right orientation. The orientation must be configured by Newtrax certified personnel. The MFD must be oriented as it was configured. The MFD can be installed in either portrait or landscape orientation, which depends on where the front of the vehicle is:
42 (106) Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc Operator's Manual The MFD must be in front of the operator and set to portrait mode for a vehicle being driven forward direction with the operator sitting in the direction of driving, such as a haul truck. The MFD must be in front of the operator and in landscape orientation for a vehicle where the operator is seated sideways, such as a loader. The image below is an example of MFD placed in landscape when it was configured to be oriented in portrait mode. Note!
Do not operate the vehicle with the MFD in the incorrect orientation. 5.3.1.1 Portrait Orientation Graphical Representation of the Vehicle Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc 43 (106) MFD Screen Shot Operator's Manual NVD LCD Bullseye Screenshot 5.3.1.2 Landscape Orientation Graphical Representation of the Vehicle 44 (106) Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc

If a valid alarm indication is ignored, it puts people and vehicles in the area at risk of a collision that could result in death or severe injury. Make sure that you follow the standard procedures. Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc 49 (106) 5.3.5.1 Static Zones Operator's Manual WARNING RISK OF COLLISION!
If the CxS system is used without proper zone definitions, this could lead to a collision that could result in death or severe injury. Zone definitions are to be carefully planned and determined using the characteristics of the vehicle and considering the characteristics of the site. The operator must be aware of the size of the zones. Refer to vehicles documentation to obtain the information needed to define the zones. For example, the size of the front and rear zones of a loader must be similar since the maximum speed and braking performance are similar in both directions. Mine safety working procedures must be followed. The 8 sectors around an LO are each separated into 3 zones that are based on the distance from the envelope of the vehicle (vehicle outermost perimeter). The size of the zones is static and adapted to each model. Their sizes depend on the following factors:
Maximum speed Current gear Braking performance of the vehicle Desired stop gap. A truck rear zone will be much shorter because it drives much slower in reverse. The side zones are narrower, reflecting the required separation for RO in passing scenarios.

If the CxS system is used without proper zone definitions, this could lead to a collision that could result in death or severe injury. Zone definitions are to be carefully planned and determined using the characteristics of the vehicle and considering the characteristics of the site. The operator must be aware of the size of the zones. Refer to vehicles documentation to obtain the information needed to define the zones. For example, the size of the front and rear zones of a loader must be similar since the maximum speed and braking performance are similar in both directions. Mine safety working procedures must be followed. The capability of the dynamic zones entirely depends on the telemetry inputs and vehicle dynamics (braking parameters). If the link with the telemetry input(s) is broken, the CxS application will default back to static zones. If the telemetry input is the VIC and the communication is lost, there will be a VIC Wired Link Lost notification. If there is an MRU, this will be used as a fallback for telemetry. If not, the system will revert to static zones. However, if the sole telemetry input is the MRU, there is currently no indication of a lost link for the operator. When the equipment is stationary, the zones are reduced to a safe minimum in the possible directions of travel, which depend on the configured stop gap and safety factors. Only the ALARM7 zone is maintained to its configured minimum size to maintain visibility around the equipment for the operator. The size of the side zones remains constant regardless of speed or direction. Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc 51 (106) Note!
Operator's Manual When the equipment starts moving from standstill, the zones modulate using two variables:
Speed: Indicates the magnitude of the zones expansion Direction: Indicates the direction in which the zones expand and remains the same in the opposite direction of travel. 5.3.5.3 Zone Fill 52 (106) Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc Operator's Manual When a remote object moves into a zone, the color is proportionally filled in this zone and the zones of lesser priority, if applicable. When the distance threshold of the next zone is reached, the color fill will change. For example, if the zones are configured as follows: Caution at 50m, Alarm at 30m, Danger at 10m, and the RO is positioned by the system at 20m, which is halfway into the Alarm zone, the latter will be filled by 50%. 5.3.5.4 Caution Zone WARNING RISK OF COLLISION!
Over-reliance on the system may lead to a collision that could result in death or severe injury. The operator must be aware of his surroundings. The operator must not solely rely on the Bullseye to identify mobile or fixed hazards. Pedestrians, vehicles, or fixed hazards could still be within the Caution Zone, regardless of what the Bullseye indicates. The Proximity Ranging Sensors (PRS) LEDs begin to flash green color at a low frequency when a Remote Object (RO) enters the Caution Zone. The furthest zone from the Local Object (LO) is the Caution Zone, which is filled in green in accordance with the fill ratio described in the section Zone Fill. This zone displays caution to the operator about a remote object in the vicinity. Note!
Similarly, the NVD CxS Bullseye shows the sector filling in green from the same direction and based on the same fill ratio, but it will not show the icon of the vehicle type on the bullseye. Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc 53 (106) Operator's Manual 5.3.5.5 Alarm Zone WARNING RISK OF COLLISION!
Over-reliance on the system may lead to a collision that could result in death or severe injury. The operator must be aware of his surroundings. The operator must not solely rely on the Slowdown notification to reduce the speed of the vehicle. Pedestrians, vehicles, or fixed hazards could still be in the Alarm zone, regardless of the state of the notification. The Proximity Ranging Sensors (PRS) LEDs begin to flash yellow color at a medium frequency when a Remote Object (RO) enters the Alarm Zone. The furthest zone from the Local Object (LO) (Caution) will be filled in yellow color and the second furthest zone will be partially filled in a yellow color, based on the fill ratio. Simultaneously, the Multi-Function Display
(MFD) will display a Slowdown notification and a text to speech Slowdown audio alert will be played every 2 seconds interval, as long as the RO is in the Alarm zone. 54 (106) Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc Operator's Manual Similarly, the NVD CxS Bullseye shows the sector filling in yellow from the same direction and based on the same fill ratio. It shows the distance from the vehicle (either m or ft) rather than the RO type. It will also prompt a Slowdown notification. 5.3.5.6 Danger Zone WARNING RISK OF COLLISION!
Over-reliance on the system may lead to a collision that could result in death or severe injury. The operator must be aware of his surroundings. The operator must not solely rely on the Stop notification to immobilize the vehicle. The operator must also not solely rely on vehicle interventions to slowdown or stop the vehicle. Pedestrians, vehicles, or fixed hazards could still be in the Danger Zone, regardless of the notification. WARNING RISK OF COLLISION!
If the Collision Warning/Avoidance System (CxS) is used without proper configuration, this could lead to a collision that could result in death or severe injury. CxS must be enabled only after proper commissioning. Care must be taken to define a proper CxS configuration. The Proximity Ranging Sensors (PRS) LEDs begin to flash red color when a Remote Object (RO) enters the Danger Zone. The first two furthest zones from the Local Object (LO) (Caution and Alarm) of the sector the RO is in, will be filled in red, and the closest zone from the LO will be partially filled in red, based on the fill ratio. Simultaneously, the Multi-Function Display (MFD) displays a Stop notification and a text to speech Stop audio alert is played every 2 seconds if the RO is in the Danger Zone. If Collision Avoidance System (CAS) is enabled, two additional distance-
based actions are triggered by the system after the request for action notification is displayed on the tablet:
Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc 55 (106) Operator's Manual Note!
Note!
1. The Slowdown command is sent to the Vehicle Intervention Controller
(VIC) for vehicle intervention once the RO is detected within the configured Slowdown Intervention threshold. The Slowdown settings will vary based on braking performance, current speed, and site requirements such as minimum follow gap and stop gap. 2. The Stop command is sent to the VIC for vehicle intervention once the RO is detected within the configured Stop Intervention threshold. The Stop settings will vary based on braking performance, current speed, and site requirements such as minimum follow gap and stop gap. Similarly, the NVD CxS Bullseye shows the sector filling in red from the same direction and based on the same fill ratio. It shows the distance from the vehicle (either m or ft) rather than the RO type. It will also prompt a Stop notification. 56 (106) Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc Operator's Manual 5.3.5.7 Multiple ROs in the Same Sector 1. If there is more than one RO in one of the sectors, the sector will be filled with the highest priority occupied zone. For example, if there is RO in the Alarm Zone and another RO in the Danger zone, you can see both icons are in their respective zones of the sector, but they will be filled in red color. a. In the same situation as mentioned in step 1, the NVD will show the zone and the distance of the nearest remote object of the sector, with no indication on the Bullseye of the presence of a 2nd RO. Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc 57 (106) Operator's Manual 2. For more than one RO of the same type (refer to Types of Remote Objects (Page 45)) in the same zone of the same sector, there will be a count indicated next to the RO type icon. a. In the same situation as mentioned in step 2, the NVD will show the zone and the distance of the nearest remote object in the sector. 58 (106) Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc Operator's Manual 3. For more than one RO of a different type in the same zone of the same sector, the modifier is shown on the icon, which indicates that there is more than 1 type of RO in addition to the existing ROs. The vehicle type icon shown will be in the order of vulnerability:
Pedestrian LV HV FHB a. In the same situation, as described in step 3, the NVD will show the zone and the distance of the nearest remote object in the sector. 5.3.6 RO List (MFD Only) Note!

Incorrect assessment of the Remote Object (RO) by an operator can lead to a collision that could result in death or severe injury. The operator must understand the risks associated with using the Override Button and be responsible for correctly assessing that the Remote Object is in a safe location. The override settings, such as the Maximum Override Time, must only be modified by approved personnel. Note!
Collision Avoidance System (CAS) only feature. The Local Override limits the vehicle intervention to a controlled Slowdown, which in turn limits the speed of the vehicle to the set slowdown speed. The figure below shows a loader operator that uses the Override button to approach a heavy vehicle, for example, a loaded truck. 60 (106) Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc Operator's Manual The figure below shows a Haul Truck that needs to pass a Light Vehicle, for example, one that is backed up in a muck bay.

If the NVD loses external power during operation, the vehicle will be shown as parked to other NVDs and will not be positioned on the Bullseye of other CxS-enabled vehicles. The NVD must be equipped with a functional MineProx antenna. The operator must not solely rely on the MineProx Status Bar. Parked vehicles could still be in the vicinity regardless of the state of the Parked Vehicle RO Count. Make sure that you follow the mine safety working procedures. If the NVD does not have an internal battery, it needs to remain powered to broadcast a parked state. Parked status can be beaconed by adding a digitally isolated input to the NVD, such as the Ignition signal. To support the sites where some devices are not yet installed with CxS-enabled equipment and as a fallback when the CxS application is down, the MineProx status bar was added as an independent detection mechanism.

5.4 Alarms WARNING RISK OF COLLISION!
During operation, if the NVD loses external power, the vehicle will be shown as parked to other NVDs and will stop ranging with other CxS-
enabled devices. The NVD must be equipped with a functional MineProx antenna. The operator must not solely rely on the vehicle proximity indication. Parked vehicles could still be in the vicinity regardless of the state of alarm. Mine safety working procedures must be followed. When a battery powered NVD is no longer powered by an external source, it switches automatically to low power mode. If installed with the internal battery as an option, it uses the battery for a single function, which is to beacon the Parked state over the MineProx narrow-band frequency. If the NVD does not have an internal battery, it needs to remain powered to broadcast a parked state. Parked status can be beaconed by adding a digitally isolated input to the NVD, such as the Ignition signal. For more information, refer to NVD Operation Manual. WARNING RISK OF COLLISION!
If you ignore or silence a valid alarm indication, it will put people and assets in your area at risk of a collision that could result in death or severe injury. Silence an alarm when you are sure and able to do it safely. Mine safety working procedures must be followed. WARNING RISK OF COLLISION!
Failure to correct the malfunctions could lead to a collision that could result in death or severe injury. If the service is stopped or failed, the UI will not prompt any Distress notifications. It is the responsibility of the operator to inform the maintenance department as soon as a malfunction in the system is observed. When you operate the vehicle with the CxS system, some scenarios will trigger an alarm on the UI, and a repetitive audio alarm is played. 64 (106) Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc

Depending on the severity and the expected operator reaction, some alarms can be acknowledged. 5.4.1 Active Alarm list Touch OK on the MFD to acknowledge the alarm; this hides the alarm and stops the sound, but it will be kept in the Active Alarms List until its condition(s) are not filled anymore. Each specific alarm will be shown in the following sections. 5.4.2 Alarm Icons Header Press the check mark button on the Newtrax Vehicle Device (NVD) to hide the alarm and stop the sound, but it will be available on the Multi-Function Display (MFD) in the Alarm Icons Header until its condition(s) are not filled anymore. Each specific alarm will be shown in the following sections. Refer to the image below for an example. Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc 65 (106) 5.4.3 Distress Alarm Operator's Manual WARNING RISK OF COLLISION!
Proper reception of distress alarms is required to be aware of distress situations and to avoid collisions that could lead to death or severe injury. Distress alarm notifications can only be received by devices that are within the range of MineProx technology and if the MineProx antenna is in working condition. Personnel in the mine, in a dangerous situation, can trigger a Distress alarm on their MineProx-enabled cap lamps. For example, on the L3Z, it is triggered by pressing the 2 lateral buttons on the lamp assembly. The alarm will be sent instantly over MineProx, and the main light of the Cap Lamp will start to blink. It can also be triggered by an operator by holding the check mark button on the Newtrax Vehicle Device (NVD), then a distress message will appear in the Alarm Icons Header of the NVD. To disable it, hold the check mark button, and the distress message will be cleared. The NVD Distress feature must be enabled in the configuration. This feature is not supported on the MFD. Note!
Note!
When Distress is triggered by a Remote Object, the MFD will display a Distress notification, and an audio alert is played every 2 seconds interval if the notification is not acknowledged or as long as the problem is not addressed. 66 (106) Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc Operator's Manual On the NVD, there will be an overlay in front of the MineProx assets screen, and a repeated audio alert will be played. When acknowledged on the tablet, the notification disappears, the sound stops, and the event is stored on the MFDs Active Alarms List. On the NVD, the notification is silenced for 1 minute, after which it will restart. A signal is sent over MineHop to the surface when in range of a MineHop node via the Newtrax monitoring application. Note!
MineHop messaging requires separate hardware and licensing to be functional. For more information on the Distress function of the NPD or the NVD, refer to the corresponding Operation manual. 5.4.4 Fallen Worker Alarm WARNING RISK OF COLLISION!
Proper reception of fallen worker alarms is required to be aware of distress situations and to avoid collisions that could lead to death or severe injury. Fallen worker alarm notifications can only be received by devices that are within the range of MineProx technology and if the MineProx antenna is in working condition. Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc 67 (106) Operator's Manual The fall detection is activated when the Personal Device is ON and remains immobile for more than 90 seconds. An alert will be visible on NVDs and/or their MFD if it is in the MineProx range, and the alert can be sent to the surface server via MineHop (to alert the Safety team). After 60 seconds of inactivity, the lamp begins to blink to warn the bearer that a Fallen Worker notification is about to be triggered. Any movement of the cap lamp while it is blinking will reset the detection timer and the lamp stops blinking. After 90 seconds of inactivity, the lamp continues to blink and starts broadcasting a Fallen Worker Alarm signal to the vehicles equipped with a Newtrax Vehicle Device and in MineProx range, triggering an alarm on the vehicle NVD. A signal is sent over MineHop to the surface when in range of a MineHop node, via the Newtrax monitoring application. Note!
MineHop messaging requires separate hardware and licensing to be functional. Once in this state, movement alone will not cancel the alarm; instead, the miner must cycle the lamp to an Off state to clear it (the same method as for clearing a Distress alarm). On the NVD, an overlay in front of the MineProx ROs screen and a repeated audio alerts will be played. When acknowledged on the tablet, the notification is reduced, the sound stops, and the event is stored on the MFDs Active Alarms List. On the NVD, the notification is silenced for 1 minute, after which it will restart. 68 (106) Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc For more information on the Fallen Worker function of the NPD, refer to NPD User Manual. 5.4.5 Vehicle Intervention Controller (VIC) Wired Link Lost Operator's Manual WARNING RISK OF COLLISION!
Failure to correct the malfunctions could lead to a collision that could result in death or severe injury. When the Vehicle Intervention Controller (VIC) link is lost, the Collision Avoidance System (CAS) will operate as a Collision Warning System (CWS). The operator must slow down or stop and must not rely on the system for Collision Warning or Collision Avoidance. Mine safety working procedures must be followed. Note!
Only Newtrax approved personnel must restore the connection between NVD and VIC. When the communication between the VIC and the NVD is broken, a VIC Wired Link lost notification and an audio alert will be played every 2 seconds interval if the notification is not acknowledged or as long as the problem is not addressed. On the NVD, there will be an overlay in front of the MineProx ROs screen, and a repeated audio alert will be emitted. Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc 69 (106) Operator's Manual When acknowledged, the notification is reduced, the sound stops, and the event is stored on the Active Alarms List. On the NVD, it will remain on the UI as an X icon in the top bar. If the VIC is used as Telemetry Input, the parameters previously provided disappear since the communication between the NVD and the VIC is broken. Note!
If the VIC is used as the sole telemetry input for the dynamic zones, the system will revert to static zones. For more information refer to Dynamic Zone (Page 51) Refer to System Troubleshooting (Page 89) section for more details on how to re-establish the link with these modules. 70 (106) Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc 5.4.6 PRS Wired Link Lost Operator's Manual WARNING DEGRADED MODE HAZARD!
PRS faults do not necessarily disable the system but may cause the system to degrade, which can lead to accidents in the mine that could result in death or severe injury. The operator must slow down or stop and must not rely on the system for Collision Warning or Collision Avoidance. Mine safety working procedures must be followed. Note!
Only Newtrax approved personnel must restore the connection between the NVD and the PRS. When the communication between at least one of the PRS and the NVD is broken, the MFD and the NVD will display a PRS Wired Link lost notification, and an audio alert is played at every 2 seconds interval if the notification is not acknowledged or as long as the problem is not addressed. On the NVD, there will be an overlay in front of the MineProx ROs screen, and a repeated audio alert will be played. When acknowledged, the notification is reduced, the audio alert stops, and the event is stored on the MFDs Active Alarms List. On the NVD, it will remain on the User Interface (UI) as a Sensor icon in the top bar. Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc 71 (106) Operator's Manual Refer to System Troubleshooting (Page 89) section for more details on how to re-establish the link with these modules. 5.4.7 System Faults WARNING DEGRADED MODE HAZARD!
System faults indicate the failure of a critical application of the system, which can lead to accidents in the mine that could result in death or severe injury. These system faults must be reported to Newtrax for further investigation. The operator must slow down or stop and must not rely on the system for Collision Warning or Collision Avoidance. Mine safety working procedures must be followed. The critical notification occurs when the critical module of the application has failed. MFDs Error Code definitions are:
MineProx out of service: 0x01 CxS Application Stopped/Crashed: 0x02 MineProx Out of service & CxS Application Stopped/Crashed: 0x03 MineProx Disabled: 0x04 MineProx Disabled & CxS Application Stopped/Crashed: 0x06. 72 (106) Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc 5.4.7.1 CxS Application Stopped/Crashed Operator's Manual WARNING DEGRADED MODE HAZARD!
Using the system while it is compromised or degraded could lead to an accident that could result in death or severe injury. The CxS Bullseye will not display any RO type, Section and Zone activation, or any Advisory Notification. Remote Objects could still be within the Caution, Alarm, or Danger zone. The RO List table will be empty, and the display will not notify the operator of any wired link loss with any of the key components during this time. These system faults must be reported to Newtrax for further investigation. Mine safety working procedures must be followed. WARNING RISK OF COLLISION!
If the CxS Application is Stopped/Crashed, a Collision Avoidance System (CAS) will not be able to send instructions to the Vehicle Intervention Controller (VIC), which could lead to a collision that could result in death or severe injury. The operator must slow down or stop and must not rely on the system for vehicle intervention. Mine safety working procedures must be followed. When the CxS Application service is not functional, a System Fault, error code: 0x02 (or 0x03/0x06) notification and an audio alert will be played every 2 second interval if the notification is not acknowledged or as long as the problem is not addressed. Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc 73 (106) On the NVD, the overlay on the MineProx ROs screen warns the operator about the CxS Application fault, and an audio alert is played. Operator's Manual When acknowledged, the notification is reduced, the sound stops, and the event is stored on the Active Alarms List. On the NVD, it will remain on the UI as a C icon in the Alarm Icons Header. 5.4.7.2 MineProx Stopped/Failed WARNING DEGRADED MODE HAZARD!
Using the system while it is compromised or degraded may lead to an accident that could result in death or severe injury. The UI will not prompt any Distress and/or Fallen Worker notifications. The pedestrian could be in distress regardless of the state of alarm. Mine safety working procedures must be followed. WARNING DEGRADED MODE HAZARD!
Using the system while it is compromised or degraded may lead to an accident that could result in death or severe injury. The Parked Vehicle Indicator would not be functional. The parked vehicle could still be in the vicinity regardless of the state of the indicator. Mine safety working procedures must be followed. When the MineProx service is not functional, the MFD displays a System Fault, error code: 0xXX notification, and an audio alert will be played every 2 second interval if the notification is not acknowledged or as long as the problem is not addressed. 74 (106) Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc Operator's Manual The overlay on the MineProx ROs screen indicates the issue lies with MineProx, whether it is disabled or failed, a repeated audio alert will be played. On the NVD, when acknowledged, it decreases the size of the notification to hide the MineProx ROs icons and show only the status bar. 5.4.8 NVD MFD Signal Lost Alarms WARNING DEGRADED MODE HAZARD!
NVD MFD signal lost errors can limit the information displayed to the operator, which can lead to accidents in the mine that could result in death or severe injury. These system faults must be reported to Newtrax for further investigation. The operator must slow down or stop and must not rely on the system for Collision Warning or Collision Avoidance. Mine safety working procedures must be followed. Note!
Only a Newtrax approved technician must install and/or replace the USB cable to prevent any damage. There are two types of alarms that explain a broken communication between the NVD and the MFD. The error codes are:
Network USB Heartbeat Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc 75 (106) Operator's Manual Refer to System Troubleshooting (Page 89) for more details on how to address these errors. 5.4.8.1 Network Connection Loss The IP address configured in the Connection panel is not reachable. It is either due to an incorrect IP address or the USB link between the two devices being physically broken. Note!
If it is the first connection between the NVD and the MFD, it could be due to the service that manages the communication only discovering the MFD at Start-up. In this case, restart the system. 5.4.8.2 USB Connection Failed When the network is up, but the USB communication cannot be established. 76 (106) Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc Operator's Manual 5.4.8.3 Heartbeat Loss When the NVD is communicating with the MFD via USB, the first message it attempts to read is the Heartbeat message, which is a periodic message sent by the NVD to confirm the communication between the NVD and the MFD CxS application is intact. 5.4.9 Congested Area Alarm WARNING DEGRADED MODE HAZARD!
If you use the system while it is compromised or degraded, it can lead to an accident that could result in death or severe injury. The CxS Bullseye may not detect and show certain Remote Objects in the right Sector or Zone. The CxS Application may not have the capacity to detect additional Remote Objects and the CxS Bullseye may not show them even if they breach the Caution, Alarm, or Danger Zone. The operator must slow down or stop and must not rely on the system for Collision Warning or Collision Avoidance. Mine safety working procedures must be followed.

Operator's Manual WARNING RISK OF COLLISION!
If the Local Object (LO) is in a congested area, the CxS Application may not detect or position correctly Remote Objects and the Collision Avoidance System (CAS) will not send the right instructions to the Vehicle Intervention Controller (VIC) which could lead to a collision that could result in death or severe injury. The operator must slow down or stop and must not rely on the system for vehicle intervention. Mine safety working procedures must be followed. The Congested Area alarm notifies the operator that the number of Remote Objects (RO) may either overload the capacity of the CxS application to efficiently position Remote Objects (RO) within a specific sector or zone. By default, this alarm cannot be acknowledged and is triggered only when more than 15 nodes (PRS and/or NPD-L1x) are detected. For example, this can be triggered when the CxS application detects 2 heavy vehicles (6x PRS each) and 3 pedestrians (1 NPD-L1x each), for a total of 15 nodes, in the bullseye area. On the NVD, there will be an overlay in front of the MineProx RO screen, and a repeated audio alert will be played. 78 (106) Copyright @ Newtrax Technologies Inc 5.5 5.5.1 Available Menus Main Menu Icon (MFD only) Operator's Manual WARNING RISK OF COLLISION!
Operating the vehicle while using the Multi-Function Display (MFD) for other purposes than proximity detection may lead to a collision that could result in death or severe injury.
