Overview
Cat Detect for Personnel provides an additional layer of protection for ground personnel standing or working in the vicinity of mobile equipment. Cat Detect for Personnel utilizes passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology which is placed within safety vests, hard hats or fixed tags. An Ultra High Frequency (UHF) antenna is installed on Cat or non-Cat equipment to communicate with the RFID tags along with a wireless link in-cab alarm and external speaker. The in-cab audible alarm works instantly to alert operators if a tagged person, machine or fixed object is within an unsafe area behind the equipment. The loud audible alarms outside of the equipment also alert the ground personnel if they reside within the detection zone.
