The Test-TAG ensures that the PAS system is in full working order.

The PAS’ Test-Tag is a device that is installed within the detection zone of the forklift truck.

When the sensing field is fine, the Test-Tag (1) receives and sends a signal to the Activator through High Frequency UHF radio waves and it records its proper functioning.

If the sensing field decreases or stops, the Test-Tag (1) stops receiving the trigger signal and it sends a warning signal UHF alerting that the field is not being detected.

The Cyclically Activator signal expects the Test-Tag (1) to detect the signal and when it does not arrive, the activator fails and raises the truck’s alarm.

The test-tag acts as a guard who is continually monitoring the field of detection and alerting users in case of failure.

When the message of the test-tag reaches the activator not only does it verify that the field is correct but it also confirms that the communication at 2.4 GHz is in functioning order.

Increasing the security alarm signal in the PAS

It is possible to achieve a redundancy detection output out of PAS thanks to the AC-50 activator’s two relays with potential free contact. Both are activated when a person’s tag is detected in the safety zone.

Using these two relays in series we can achieve fault tolerance, redundancy thanks to the series’ circuit.

In the event that one of the two relays fails and stays on, the system will remain in safe mode. If the alarm signal fails a fault should occur in both relays.

If the aim is to achieve greater security, it is recommended to add an external safety relay type SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC / TELEMECANIQUE XPSAC5121, however for standard PAS use in forklift trucks, this is totally unnecessary.

By checking the tags on the AV-50 antenna, we are able to verify that each person’s T-10 tag is in perfect working condition before entering the protected area.

As the Tag approaches the verification antenna 4 things happen:

 

1. It checks the condition of the tag’s battery.

The T-10 Tag communicates the state of charge (voltage) of the battery to the antenna’s verification system.

If the value is below 2.90V the AV-50 antenna shows a red light and beeps to alert the person that the battery’s tag is running out.

 

When a battery below 2.90V is detected for the first time or if it is at a 30% charge, the tag has sufficient autonomy to operate under normal conditions and fully functionally for 3 days.

 

2. It checks the LF communication.

The verification system of the AV-50 antenna emits a detection field.

When a tag is close to the antenna, it awakens, it checks the charge of the battery and it informs the AV-50.

 

3. It checks the HF communication.

The AV-50 antenna receives the voltage of the battery through the HF. The AV-50 checks the battery’s condition and it makes a decision according to the state of the tag – if it has sufficient charge, nothing occurs, but if the battery needs replacing, it raises an alarm.

 

4. It records the result of the analysis.

During each battery analysis and software usage, the system registers the result of the analysis.
By registering date and time, you can keep track of whether the T-10 tags are properly verified and whether there is a tag that needs to have its battery replaced.

 

The following are some Questions and Answer to consider if the test unit lights up in red:

  • How is it determined or measured when the light must be red ?

Measuring the voltage of the battery and determining it is below 2.90V

 

  • Is a tag with red light still detectable and thus safe to use?

Yes it is, the tag is fully functional even when the battery is low. Because there is a 30% safe battery.

 

  • If so, for how long?

For at least 3 days in normal working conditions.

 

The AV-50 verification antenna ensures that the T10 Tag works 100% correctly and the battery lasts at least 3 days from verification.

Auditorias de seguridad

 

To successfully eliminate the risk of accidents and health threats that lurk around in the workplace, it is necessary to conduct frequent safety checks. To do so, companies must rely on trained personnel and the necessary equipment to ensure a full and detailed review of risk areas. Both the gathering of evidence and the writing of reports should be done in a complete and professional manner to meet the appropriate safety standards.

Now, entrepreneurs and inspectors have a wonderful tool to help them perform these tasks and minimise the time spent on the audit – SafetyCulture’s free application: iAuditor.

 

Since its release in February 2012, iAuditor has been used in over 80 countries worldwide with more than 25,000 daily safety audits recorded. This application can be used in mobile devices such as iPads, Android tablets or smartphones with any operating systems. It features a simple and intuitive interface that allows people without any experience on this type of applications to use it easily. It also allows the user to point at specific objects, it answers questions and takes pictures to conduct a professional audit with all the elements that should comprise it.

The safety inspector is able to take pictures with the mobile device and use them as evidence of the state of the workspace. Other elements can also be added such as arrows, diagrams, symbols and all those needed to highlight the details found. Also, you have the ability to add notes and comments to make the statement of results more explicit.

 

When the audit is complete, iAuditor generates a full technical report that is well very well structured and of a very high quality. The free version of this app allows the user to export the report in PDF format, while a premium account allows storage in a wide range of formats like MS Word, XML, JSON, and CSV. Traditionally, these reports could take hours to complete, but iAuditor is able to generate them in seconds with photographs, signatures and all the components a report should include.

One of the most versatile features of the application is its ability to create custom templates with lists of activities to be undertaken. SafetyCulture, the creator of the application, has produced an extensive range of useful templates for all types of practices, industries and user needs, such as for example, the Safety in the Warehouse template which, is suitable to a very large number of situations. The company’s online repository is known as Audit Forms, and there is possible to find all kinds of audit templates. Currently, there are over 50,000 templates in their library and every day new templates are loaded by the company or its users.

 

Claitec is developing a set of more practical templates for the benefit of our customers which are based on the experience and knowledge of our expert staff. We are hoping that users will be able to conduct their needs assessments and safety audits to ensure optimal performance of their PAS (Pedestrian Alert System) and LSA (speed limitation zones) solutions.

iAuditor is yet another example of how technology can be used to improve industrial safety and worker protection.
