WARNING
• Never disassemble, repair, modify, or move the wireless communication terminal, antenna, or ca-
bles. This may cause failure or fire on the wireless equipment or the machine itself.
• Near the blasting jobsite, there may be a danger of unexpected explosion due to use of the wireless
equipment and resulting serious personal injury or death.
If you have to operate the machine within 12 m {within 39 ft 4 in} from the remote-controlled blasting
device, the power supply cable of the wireless communication device must be disconnected in ad-
vance.
KOMTRAX is a vehicle management system that remotely manages the machines equipped with the KOM-
TRAX device by using satellite communication or portable radio communication.
The GPS (Global Positioning System), receiver, and communication system are equipped in the vehicle man-
agement system.
The machine information such as the machine maintenance, maintenance management, operating situation
management, and machine location management is gathered from the inside network of the machine. It can be
useful for you to perform the machine management by yourself. Your Komatsu distributor uses the above ma-
chine information for supply of service to the customers, improvement of our products and service, etc.
The type of information which is sent from the machine may vary depending on the machine. For the radio sta-
tion establishment of KOMTRAX, consult your Komatsu distributor.
POWER SUPPLY FOR KOMTRAX
• Even when the key in the starting switch is at OFF position, a small amount of electric power is consumed
by the KOMTRAX system.
It is recommended to run the engine periodically to charge the battery.
• When using the battery disconnect switch (if equipped), turn the starting switch to OFF position, and after
checking that the system operating lamp is not lit, set the battery disconnect switch key to OFF position and
pull it out.
When the battery disconnect switch (if equipped) is turned to OFF position, it is possible to prevent the
power consumption of the battery, but the functions of KOMTRAX will stop at the same time.
• If the power supply cable of KOMTRAX system device has to be disconnected, contact your Komatsu dis-
tributor.
