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 dealer and having entered into a contract
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 dealer before selling or exporting any machine fitted with a KOMTRAX equipment.
q
The KOMTRAX system can be removed or disabled by the Komatsu dealer as required, in case the machine is
sold or exported.
q
Komatsu and its authorised dealer shall not be liable for any problems or damage resulting from the nonobser-
vance 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 dealer 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
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 specific key is set to OFF, the KOMTRAX system can absorb a minimum quantity of energy.
In case the machine is not used for a long period, strictly observe the instructions in the section "3.6
LONG PERIODS OF INACTIVITY".
q
Contact the Komatsu dealer 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.
q
Do not disconnect or tamper with the KOMTRAX communication terminal; consult the Komatsu dealer in case of
failures.
