1.5 KOMTRAX SYSTEM
q
KOMTRAX is a system that uses wireless communication technology to monitor machines.
q
The KOMTRAX system can be used only after contacting the Komatsu Distributor and having entered into a con-
tract with him.
q
As it is a wireless system, the KOMTRAX equipment uses radio waves; therefore, a due permit is required as
well as compliance with the regulations in force in the country or territory where the machine is used.
Contact a Komatsu Distributor before selling or exporting any machine fitted with a KOMTRAX equipment.
q
The KOMTRAX system can be removed or disabled by the Komatsu Distributor as required, in case the machine
is sold or exported.
q
Komatsu and its authorised Distributor shall not be liable for any problems or damage resulting from the nonob-
servance of the safety precautions described herein.
1.5.1 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
q
Do not remove, repair, modify or move the communication terminal, the aerial or the cables as this may
lead to failures or short-circuits in the KOMTRAX equipment or the machine itself.
The Komatsu Distributor will be in charge of removing and installing the KOMTRAX equipment.
q
Do not flatten or damage the cables or wires. Do not pull the cables or wires hard.
Short-circuits and disconnected cables can cause failures or fire in the KOMTRAX equipment or the ma-
chine.
q
This machine is equipped with a two-way radio communication device KOMTRAX. Keep away from any
explosive area. If the machine must operate within 12 metres from an explosive area or from an active
electric exploder, the cable harness must be disconnected from the module KOMTRAX. Otherwise, it
may cause serious injuries or fatal accidents.
q
This warning does not replace the requirements or regulations in force in the area or country where this
machine is operating. The following specifications are supplied in order to guarantee compliance with
all the applicable requirements and regulations.
q
The transmission rated power for the Komtrax transmitter is 5 - 10 watt.
q
The frequency operation interval for the Komtrax module is 148 - 150 MHz.
q
If you have a pacemaker, make sure that the communication aerial is placed at least 22 cm from the
pacemaker as radio waves can adversely affect the pacemaker operation.
IMPORTANT
q
Even if the starter key is turned to OFF, the KOMTRAX system can absorb a minimum quantity of energy.
In case the machine is not used for a long time, strictly follow the instructions contained in section "3.6
LONG PERIODS OF INACTIVITY". If the machine is not used for a long time, stop the engine, wait at least
one minute, and afterwards turn the battery main switch to OFF and extract the specific key.
Remember that when the battery main switch is turned to OFF, the KOMTRAX system does not work.
q
Contact the Komatsu Distributor before installing protections or any other covering accessory onto the
opening roof.
q
Be careful not to let water deposit on the communication terminals or their cables.
NOTE
q
As KOMTRAX is a wireless system, it cannot be used inside tunnels, undergrounds, buildings or in mountainous
areas where radio waves cannot be received.
Even when the machine is outdoors, it cannot be used in areas where radio signals are weak or areas not cov-
ered by the signal.
