NOTE: Tags can be masked by other objects (e.g. mobile phone) so always ensure when using the product
(e.g carrying it in a pocket) it’s placed on its own. Active tags are an integral part of an Antenna Unit system
and are typically required for a system to work. There are multiple options for tags, and all are purchased
separately. Please refer to Tag Manual for a more comprehensive guide.
NOTE: ZoneSafe must be fi tted and commissioned by an approved installer. No responsibility will be
accepted for damage to systems caused by incorrect installation or misuse. Detection accuracy will depend
on environmental and installation factors.
1. How To Use This Manual
This manual will guide you through the installation and confi guration of our RFID Detection systems.
It will show you how and where to position the system units, enabling you to get the best possible performance from
our product.
4. Control Unit
The Control Unit controls one or more of the system’s Function Units and acts as the user interface. The unit contains
a battery backed real-time clock for time stamping events, internal memory to store event data and a Wi-Fi module for
communication. A built in relay is available for additional external sounders or beacons.
The Control Unit is mounted in the driver cab next to the operator so it can be clearly visible at all times. Audible alerts are
emitted from a sounder located on the front, and a light panel and button create visual alerts and indicate various alarm states.
The button can be confi gured to acknowledge the detection of one or more tags or vehicles and mute them if required.
Disclaimer / Best Practice
The ZoneSafe RFID Detection System is not a protective device, it does not initiate or perform safety related
functions and it does not provide control to reduce risk.
ZoneSafe should not be used to replace proper job site organisation, safeguards, operator training and the
application of relevant vision standards that addresses safety and the safety of people on job sites.
3. RFID System Components
The ZoneSafe RFID Detection System consists of a Control Unit and a number of Function Units. Tags are required for
any system which uses Antenna Units. For a more comprehensive range of our products please contact our sales team.
Overview of a typical vehicle system installation
Read the sections of this manual which instruct how to install the specifi c system items and best positioning for the
optimal performance. Then you can proceed to installation.
1. Decide where you will fi t your ZoneSafe Units to give the detection zone you require, by following the guidelines set
out in this manual.
2. Decide on fi xings to keep the ZoneSafe Units in place (fi xings, mounting plates etc.).
3. Make a note (or take a photo) of the label on the back of the Control Unit, as you will need the serial number for
connecting over Wi-Fi. Then you can fi x the units in their fi nal position.
4. Identify the vehicle connections.
5. Isolate the vehicle power supply before wiring the system.
6. Wire the Control Unit to the vehicle, ensuring to make the mandatory connections, then any optional connections
required.
7. Connect the Control Unit to the fi rst Function Unit (e.g. Antenna) using the cable specifi ed (see Control Unit
Connection section). Set the fi rst Function Unit address switch to 1.
8. Connect the fi rst Function Unit to the second (if using more than one), and set this unit’s address switch to 2.
Now do the same for a third unit and so on, until all the Function Units are connected.
9. When you reach your last Function Unit, fi t the blanking plug to the unused hole in the enclosure to ensure a
weathertight seal. Make sure all of your Function Units are screwed shut and the glands are tight.
10. Now you can connect the vehicle power source. Stand near the Control Unit and connect using Wi-Fi direct on a
mobile device to confi gure your system.
11. Test your system works exactly the way you would like before fi nishing installation.
2. Introduction
Our active RFID Detection System comprises of one Control Unit and one or more ‘Function Units’. This manual will instruct
on best practice for placement of equipment, attachment methods and wiring.
Glossary of terms:
Function Unit : A generic term for the detection units in our system, i.e. Antenna Unit.
Control Unit : This creates visible & audible alerts to the user when either a pedestrian or static object with a tag. All
Function Units are wired to the Control Unit and every system requires one.
Detection Zone : Imagine an invisible sphere whose centre point is a Function Unit. When we indicate a range for a
Function Unit it means from the centre point of the unit itself, not from the edge of the vehicle. This is why correct installation
is the key to getting a system to perform the way you want it to.
Antenna Unit : This is the vehicle mounted Function Unit which detects our active tags and any of our other products that
act like tags. The Antenna Unit is primarily fi tted when we wish to detect proximity of pedestrians wearing our tags. The
range is adjustable from 3-10m, measured from the Detection Zone centre point. The Antenna Unit does not need a clear
line of sight.
Tags : Our active RFID tags are detected by the Antenna Unit and are compatible with other products such as the Tag
Tester which can be used for tasks such as access control or pedestrian monitoring, for example.
