2 Foreword
BLAXTAIR® is a pedestrian’s detection device for industrial
vehicles.
Combined with usual safety practices, it will help you to improve
the safety in the vicinity of dangerous industrial, earthmoving or
mining machines by providing relevant and reliable information
to the driver.
In order to get the best from this high-tech equipment
implementing a breakthrough technology, and before starting
using BLAXTAIR®, it is strongly recommended to read this
manual. It indicates the precautions, scope of use and basic
maintenance procedures of BLAXTAIR®, to maintaining the
equipment at its best level of performance.
BLAXTAIR® is designed to providing the
operator with additional information which
could help them when manoeuvring. It is not
an alarm system and it does not reduce the
responsibility of the operator or his/her
manager in case of a collision. BLAXTAIR® is designed to
supplement the usual safety practices already implemented. It
must be integrated into a comprehensive safety policy taking
into account the risk factors that are specific to the activity of
the company.
Vehicle control and safety of operations remains the
responsibility of the Operator and the authorities in charge.
BLAXTAIR® does not detect pedestrians lying on the ground.
BLAXTAIR® is not designed to detect small objects. As with
any detection system, an object or a pedestrian may not be
detected.
The current version of BLAXTAIR® does not detect squatting
pedestrians.

Most collisions between industrial vehicles and
pedestrians occur when setting off or after a
sudden change of direction.
BLAXTAIR® is optimized to provide pertinent
information to the driver during these critical phases.
When the vehicle is operational, it is the driver’s responsibility
to adapt the speed to the environment and remain observant
at all times.
BLAXTAIR® is not designed to detect pedestrians when the
vehicle is travelling at high speeds.
Each year plant accidents result in the loss of life, significant
personal injuries and damages to products and property. Most
plant accidents are the result of driver error.
Basic operator training should be carried out
prior to operators using any equipment
installed with BLAXTAIR® systems. Followed
by periodic training to ensure awareness of
usage and limits.
Optimal performance of a BLAXTAIR® systems is subject to
the compliance with recommendations for use and
maintenance as described in this manual.
BLAXTAIR® shall not be interfaced with the
command or control devices of machinery.
Output signals of BLAXTAIR® shall not be
used for controlling automatically, directly or
indirectly, machinery control devices.

3.2.3 Dual configuration: BLAXTAIR® MR180
Important notice:
•Accessory outputs of both Processing Units are identical and linked
together: i.e. if one Processor detects a pedestrian, outputs of the
other Processor are triggered simultaneously.
•USB for maintenance give access only to the Processor it is
connected to.
•Ethernet I/F is not available in this configuration as it is used for
communication between both Processing Units.
•Inputs (power and digital inputs) of both Processors should be
connected identically.
