OUTLINE OF KOMTRAX
q
KOMTRAX is a system used for remote management of machines mounted with KOMTRAX equipment by
using satellite communication or cellular wireless communication.
q
The customer can obtain various machine information (including machine position) by viewing the web screen
on a personal computer.
q
Machine information that can be viewed with KOMTRAX includes the following:
Machine position, service meter, operating hours and fuel consumption.
Komatsu, Komatsu associated companies and Komatsu distributors will use this machine information to provide
better service to customers and improve products and services etc.
If you are interested in using KOMTRAX, consult your Komatsu distributor for registration of using KOMTRAX.

WARNING
q
Never disassemble, repair, modify, or move the communications terminal, antenna, or cables. This
may cause failure or fire on the KOMTRAX equipment or the machine itself. (Your Komatsu distributor
will carry out removal and installation of KOMTRAX.)
q
For anyone wearing a pacemaker, make sure that the communications antenna is at least 22 cm away
from the pacemaker. The radio waves may have an adverse effect on the operation of the pacemaker.
q
Near the blasting jobsite, there may be a danger of unexpected explosion due to use of interactive
wireless communication device of KOMTRAX and resulting serious personal injury. Make sure to oper-
ate the machine away from the blasting jobsite.
If you have to operate the machine within 12 m from the blasting jobsite or a remote-controlled blasting
device, the power supply cable of KOMTRAX must be disconnected in advance. If you want to do this,
ask your Komatsu distributor for disconnecting power supply cable of KOMTRAX.
Also, if there are requirements or regulations concerning the operation of this machine in your area or
country, be sure to observe them in priority to this warning.
When checking for compliance with regulations, refer to the following KOMTRAX equipment satellite
communication specifications.
Transmit power: 5 - 10 W
Transmit frequency: 148 - 150 MHz
PRECAUTIONS
q
Even when the starting switch is at the OFF position, a small amount of electric power is consumed by KOMT-
RAX system.
It is recommended to run the engine periodically to charge the battery. When storing the machine for a long
period, see LONG-TERM STORAGE (3-227)
q
When using the battery disconnect switch, turn the starting switch to the OFF position and turn the battery dis-
connect switch to the OFF position. Then, pull out the key.
When the battery disconnect switch is turned to the OFF position, it is possible to prevent power consumption
of the battery, but the functions of KOMTRAX stop at the same time.
For details of the operation of the battery disconnect device, see BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCH (3-127).
q
Contact your Komatsu distributor before installing a top guard or other attachment that covers the cab roof.
REMARK
q
The KOMTRAX equipment uses wireless communications, so it cannot be used inside tunnels, underground,
inside buildings, or in mountain areas where radio waves cannot be received. Even when the machine is out-
doors, KOMTRAX cannot be used in areas where the radio signal is weak or in areas outside the wireless
communication service area.
q
There is absolutely no need of inspection or maintenance of the KOMTRAX communications terminal, but if
any abnormality is found, consult your Komatsu distributor.
