Introduction This document is aimed for customers and sales and represents the basic functionalities for the HxGN MineProtect Personal Alert. It describes the technology used, the recommended applications and limitations of the system. The Personal Alert System (PA) is a pedestrian tagged personnel tracking system that utilizes the latest Time of Flight technology in the Ultra-Wideband (UWB) to determinate with high precision personnel position relative to heavy machinery and provides reliable protection even under conditions of poor or no GPS reception. 2. Product Description HxGN Mine Personal Alert is the first accident-avoidance device worn by field personnel that ensures visibility around heavy equipment. Using the reliability and precision of Time of Flight technology in the Ultra-Wide Band frequency, Personal Alert is integrated with Hexagon Minings Collision Avoidance System (CAS) for a comprehensive warning solution. It enhances the visibility of personnel and vehicles in dangerous situations, reducing accidents by alerting about the presence of anyone working around heavy machinery in the CAS display. Position, heading, and path are calculated using the CAS in the vehicle, which together with PA accurately determine one or multiple surrounding pedestrian tags distances against the heavy machinery. This distance is then compared against the configured detection zones to alert vehicle operators and pedestrians in case of imminent risk. The Personal Alert System (PA) provides the following main functions:
Personnel Position Awareness: which shows the heavy machinery operators where personnel within the detection range are located. Personnel Protection Alarms: based on the movement of the personnel and the heavy machinery, it measures continuously the distance between machinery and pedestrian predict potential close interactions generating visual within protection distances and in case of critical danger audible and vibratory alarms to both heavy machinery operators and pedestrians to avoid possible accidents. 2/28 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com Close Interaction Reporting/Notifications: Every close interaction alarm will generate an alarm that is transmitted to the monitoring/reporting server for immediate notifications or historical reporting for trend analysis. Personnel Tracking: All data is wireless transmitted to the server, which allows the personnel within range distance to a vehicle with CAS to be tracked on the Live monitoring web services. Incident Analysis: Pedestrian close interactions are logged in the on-board hardware, which can be recreated for incident analysis. FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

System Architecture 3.1. Overview The Personal Alert (PA) is composed by the following components:
HxGN Collision Avoidance System (CAS) PA Vehicle Anchors PA Pedestrian Tags The Personal Alert, combined with the HxGN Collision Avoidance System (CAS) technology, makes use of risk-based algorithms to differentiate between pedestrians which can lead to dangerous situation and others which do not represent threats based on pre-configured parameters. This real-time analysis and level and indicate it to the operator of the vehicle via the CAS LED display and the personnel in danger via various alerting mechanisms on the Pedestrian tags. All the alerts from the PA can be transmitted to the Control Room for reporting capabilities. sophisticated algorithms determine possible risk will a 4/28 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com The Personal Alert System (PA) consists of Vehicle Anchors and Pedestrian tags. The Vehicle Anchors contain a UWB ranging radio, a powerful microcontroller for distance computations and a CAN interface to transmit ranging information to the CAS. Pedestrian tags are wearable devices with high-capacity Li-Ion batteries and integrated charging system, which also contain a UWB ranging radio and microcontroller, as well as two RGB LEDs with dynamically adaptive brightness, powerful vibration motor and buzzer for alerting. The devices communicate with each other using Time of Flight Technology at UWB frequencies, and the Vehicle Anchors are connected to the Collision Avoidance System (CAS) using a proprietary CAN protocol. The distance and detection zone between each Pedestrian tag and each Vehicle Anchor on heavy machinery is calculated by the Vehicle Anchors and transmitted to the CAS main unit. The information is also transmitted back to each Pedestrian tags as a low power signal at frequent intervals (adaptive, up to 4 times per second). The PA will provide visual awareness to both the heavy machinery operators and the surrounding field personnel inside the configured detection zones. When the PA determines a dangerous proximity to personnel, the CAS LED display gives the heavy machinery operator a warning of the greatest danger at that moment, this is given by a visual awareness with direction of the closest detected personnel and a buzzing sound, at the same time the pedestrian tag also provides a visual alert, buzzing sound and a vibration alarm to the personnel depending on the configuration. 3.2. Hardware components Description Components CAS Set Product Number QN55X Collision Avoidance System unit, acts also as processing unit for PA and to provide information via the LEDs display to the operator. CAS unit does have to be connected to the reverse gear sensor, as the information of vehicle direction is needed. The Vehicle Anchors contains the UWB ranging radio that communicate and performs the distance measurements. It has an LED to display status and two CAN connectors. This terminator provides a 120 Ohm load on both ends of the CAN bus for proper and reliable communications between the vehicle AnchorVehicle Anchors and the CAS unit.

System boundaries Hexagon Mining Personal Alert system is responsible for the detection of personnel wearing a properly functioning Pedestrian Tag representing a threat and provides the correct visual signs to the vehicle operator via the CAS User Interface and the personnel wearing the Pedestrian Tag based on the preconfigured danger areas on the configuration. The Personal Alert system requires line of sight between the Vehicle Anchor and the Pedestrian Tags to perform according specifications, if the Pedestrian Tag is in a part of the body that blocks the Time-
of-Flight signal from the vehicle Anchor it might not be detected if there are no reflecting areas on the surrounding of the personnel. Hexagon Mining recommends locations that allow the Pedestrian Tag to be seen from 360 degrees from the Vehicle Anchors like the shoulders, helmets or belts (On the side). 7/28 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com 4. Main Features 4.1. Enabling Personal Alert and Geo-Fencing Functionalities In the default configuration Hexagon Mining Personal Alert is active mine wide. However, it is possible to mute the visual and audible alarms, as well as to adapt the detection zones depending on area or speed settings. To achieve this, the Personnel Alert must be activated or deactivated only on the desired geo-fences and up to the desired speed using the Areas configuration in the CAS vehicle Register. 8/28 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com 4.2. Personal Alert Detection Zones The detection zones are configurable distances around the Vehicle Anchors. When a Pedestrian tag is detected by a vehicle Anchor in the immediate proximity around the vehicle it processes the location of the Pedestrian Tag and its distance relative to the Vehicle Anchor. Within three different zones, the PA system will react differently providing visual, audible and vibratory alerts to the vehicle operators and personnel. There are four possible danger zones that are configurable, and each one of them will represent a different notification to users:
Cabin Detection Zone: This zone represents the distance on where the vehicle operators are usually sitting, all alarms within this distance are suppressed on both Pedestrian Tag and CAS, as well as on other PA-equipped vehicles. Far Detection Zone: This zone represents the distance on where vehicle operators and personnel would be visually warned about each other, showing the direction of detection on the vehicle LED display. Near Detection Zone: This zone represents the distance on where both vehicle operators and personnel are still warned visually, but with higher intensity. Close Detection Zone (Danger Zone): This zone represents the distance on where vehicle operators and personnel are in danger of suffering from an accident, and all possible alert mechanisms are used to invoke an action of the operator and personnel. An audible alarm on the CAS LEDs will only be triggered if the personnel is within the danger zone and the vehicle is moving below the PA speed threshold in the direction of the personnel. 9/28 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com The following table describes the notification outputs from the PA user interfaces:
Detection Zone Cabin Zone Far Zone Near Zone Close Zone
(Danger Zone) Description This zone determinates if a person with a Pedestrian tag is within the cabin of the vehicle. This matters to prevent unwanted alarms within drivers and other vehicles. This zone determinates if a person is in the proximity of the vehicle, but it does not represent an immediate threat. This zones determinates if a person is in a medium danger distance within a vehicle. This zone determinates if a person is within the danger zone, and will escalate the highest priority awareness and alarms. to Display Awareness/Alerting None TAG PEDESTRIAN Awareness/Alerting None Visual Awareness Visual Awareness Visual Awareness Visual Awareness Visual Awareness +

10/28 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com 4.2.1. Notifications in Vehicle Operator (CAS LED Display):
Several LEDs colors and sounds indicate different threat levels of a person to the vehicle operator. Depending on the distance to pedestrian tagged personnel and on the configuration parameters a visual and an audible alarm might be generated. The center compass displays direction and distance of personnel within the detection zones as explained below:
Detection Zone
(Priority) Awareness/Alerting in the traffic awareness LEDs Cabin Zone Far Zone None Three solid amber LEDs in the vehicle Anchor location. User Interface Near Zone Three amber LEDs in the vehicle Anchor location blinking at 2 Hz. Close Zone (Danger Zone) Three amber LEDs in the vehicle Anchor location blinking at 4 Hz. If the vehicle movement is not Standstill or parked an audible alarm is also generated.
*The audible alarm will also be dependent on the direction of movement of the vehicle. E.g. If there is a person detected by the rear Vehicle Anchor and the vehicle is moving forward, no audible alarm is raised. 11/28 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com Depending on the location configuration of the vehicle Anchor detecting the Pedestrian tag, the LEDs could be shown in different locations as shown below:

Power, Battery Charging and Configuration 4.3.1. Heartbeat Indication Every 30s, the pedestrian tag LEDs shows a heartbeat signal. This is a short simultaneous blink on both LEDs, and only shows up when no other threat is around. In case of a battery with sufficient state of charge, this is in green color. If the battery state of charge is medium (roughly 3h battery life left), this is in amber color. If the battery state of charge is getting low (roughly 1h battery life left), this is in red color. 4.3.2. Gang Charger Programming Slot The Pedestrian Tags Gang Charger QT365 device provides battery charging capabilities for up to ten Pedestrian tags simultaneously and provides one special slot for updating the Pedestrian Tag Firmware. There is one LED showing that the charger is successfully connected to the power adapter. 14/28 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com 4.3.3. Charging Procedure Before charging the Pedestrian tags, please make sure the voltage of the power supply corresponds to the data given on the gang charger instructions, usually Gang Charger can work from 110 to 240V and make sure that the correct power adapter is used (5VDC supply voltage). The charging procedure starts as soon as the Pedestrian Tag is inserted into any of the sockets of the Gang Charger QT365 given that the battery temperature is within a safe range (10-45C). The Pedestrian tag immediately starts charging the battery, which is displayed with different LEDs indications explained below:
Meaning of Indication Elements:
All the indications are displayed on the inserted PEDESTRIAN TAG LEDs, and the different colors and position of the turning LEDs represent the status of the charging progress of the PEDESTRIAN TAG as explained in the table below:
Status Indication User Interface Battery not Charging The right LED will be blinking every 2 second in RED color. Battery Charging The right LED will be blinking in a period of 2 second in BLUE color. Fast Charging in Progress The right LED will be blinking in a period of 0.5 second in BLUE color. Battery Fully Charged The right LED will be constantly on in GREEN color. 15/28 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com Battery OK Battery status Indications The left LED will be constantly on in GREEN colour. Battery End-of-Life The left LED will be constantly on in RED colour. When pressing the acknowledge button for 5 seconds while charging, the Pedestrian Tag proceeds to perform a hard reset. 4.4. Acknowledge Button and Alarm Exceptions Acknowledge Button Personnel wearing Pedestrian Tags can silence the Pedestrian tag from threats alerting, this does not acknowledge all other vehicle alarms, but only the sound and vibratory alarms from the current situation once the button is pressed. The personnel will get another alarm if a second vehicle approaches, even if alerts with the first vehicle have already been silenced. To acknowledge alarms on a pedestrian tag, the personnel should press the center button only once, all current vehicles, at their current ranges, will be acknowledge and the sound and vibrating alarms will be silenced. If a vehicle moves to a closer zone and a highest risk range, the pedestrian tag will rearm the sound and vibrating alarms again, for the vehicle at its close range, only increasing the risk (e.g. going from near to close) will rearm the alarms. Vehicles moving further away (e.g. going from close to near) should not cause the sound and vibratory alarm to be rearmed. 16/28 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com If a vehicle moves out of range of the detection zones, it is forgotten by the pedestrian tag acknowledge function, so that if it reappears, it will cause a new alert. Alarm priorities:
When the vehicle is in standstill, and up to a speed of max_pps_speed (default 8 km/h), PA alarms have priority over other CAS alarms. At speeds, faster than this parameter (If configured), Personal Alert alarms will be disabled. 4.4.1. Battery Power Indication By double clicking the Acknowledge Button, the Pedestrian Tag LEDs shows battery power status. This is shown as a short simultaneous blink on both LEDs. In case of a battery with sufficient state of charge, this is shown in green color, if medium battery life an amber color will be displayed on the LEDs, and this indicates a life span of approximately 2-3 hours. If the battery is at a low level a red color will be displayed, and this indicates a life span of less 1 hour left. Once the battery has reached a critically low state of charge, it will display a permanent indication to the user that it needs to be recharged. This indication is shown by displaying both LEDs in a constant red color:
This sign indicates that the Tag is no longer operational and it indicated until the battery is flat. Limitation: In rare cases, the Pedestrian Tag will stop emitting the correct alerts on the LEDs due to low power but it will not show the Low Battery Indication. Status Indication User Interface Battery fully charged The right and left LEDs will glow in GREEN colour for 2 seconds. 17/28 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com Battery medium The right and left LEDs will glow in AMBER colour for 2 seconds. Battery low The right and left LEDs will glow in RED colour for 2 seconds 5. System Status 5.1. CAS+PA 5.1.1. Errors If the CAS Main Unit encounters an error of the Personal Alert System (PA) a combination of LEDs will indicate its findings on the display. If an Error is displayed check the cabling, the connections and the sensor units for proper operation. Error Type Possible Causes User Interface Vehicle Anchor Malfunction PA Wiring fault Vehicle Vehicle Anchors disconnected Anchor Error System Wrong Vehicle configuration Communications PA
(renders inoperable) PA Faults as above PA Error CAN-Bus Error 18/28 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com If a PA installation presents connectivity issues check the cabling for the following best practices being applied:
The CAN-bus cabling resembles a simple daisy chain. The M12-4 terminator pieces are installed at both ends of the CAN-bus. The CAN-bus cabling has no branches other than individual vehicle Anchor units and one CAS unit attached to it. The entire system must describe a bus. The CAN-bus should not close on itself, nor should it create any other type of loop. Each Vehicle Anchor on the vehicle has its own unique ID (0-6) Check the configuration parameters of the PA on the CAS. Check that the system has not been damaged by excessive supply volpedestrian tage or that the fuses of the power supply were blown. If the error persists after having checked the installation for the application of best practices and assessing the system for faulty equipment, please contact your Hexagon Mining support responsible. 5.2. PEDESTRIAN TAG 5.2.1. Errors If the PEDESTRIAN TAG is on an error state a combination of LEDs will indicates the possible causes as shown in the table below:
Error Type Possible Causes User Interface PEDESTRIAN TAG not communicating Battery is flat. No Firmware Firmware is not correct or have not been uploaded. 19/28 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com Battery End-of-Life

Use Cases 6.1. Tire Handler Situations on where the operation requires close interaction between heavy machinery and personnel are the perfect application for the PA, providing audible notification to the operators in case of the interaction with the personnel gets to the high-risk level due to the low visibility of the environment and the high focus of the operators to the task process and not the environment. 22/28 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com 6.2. Workshop/Field Maintenance, Regular Mining Operation After maintenance is performed, personnel is still around the heavy machinery but operators have a very limited field of view of the environment due to the dimensions of the heavy machinery (see graph 1). The PA improves the awareness of the operators by presenting the position and relative distance to the personnel surrounding the vehicle avoiding accidents that could lead to a fatality. Grey Areas indicates where operator cannot see a 6 feet tall person 23/28 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com 6.3. Installation in Vehicle Types Vehicle Type Light Vehicle Characteristics One Vehicle Anchor 3 zones of Protection Adaptive protection zones to Avoid Nuisances Alarms Image Two or Three Vehicle AnchorVehicle Anchors 3 zones of Protection Adaptive Protection Zones Four Vehicle AnchorVehicle Anchors 3 zones of Protection Adaptive Protection Zones 5m 15m 25m 10m 20m 25m Haul Truck ADT Loaders Dozers Shovel 24/28 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com 7. Monitoring and Reporting The HxGN TRACK is a browser-based software application where vehicles can be tracked in real-time anywhere in the world using any PC connected to the internet or local server. The SMTRACK allows the user to display vehicles on a satellite image or on a mine custom map, along with information about their current position, speed, and status. Each CAS unit includes an integrated GSM or WIFI modem to transmit vehicle information that integrates with the PA, this allows the customer to view in near real-time if dangerous interactions between heavy machinery and personnel are occurring. Several notifications could be generated simultaneously and configured to alert the right personnel regarding a high-risk interaction or simply provide the report for the PA alarms. System will require server connectivity using Wi-Fi or GSM/LTE networks. 25/28 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com Tracking example:
Every tag could be assigned to a specific person and it could be tracked at any time as long as it is close to a vehicle or an infrastructure anchor. In the example below the location of a person as well as the time of visualization on the location is seen on the server, this could be configuring to remain active at all times to verify the last known location of any personnel or it could disappear as soon as the pedestrian tag is not identified by any close PA system. Reporting example:
In the below report it is possible to analyse the trends of dangerous events between vehicles and personnel, as well as visited locations. 26/28 Hexagon Mining Baarerstrasse 133 6300 Zug, Switzerland www.hexagonmining.com 8. Wiring Diagrams Disclaimer 9. TBC 27/28
