This Quick Start Guide will show you how to safely
and properly install, test and register the
SCAN~LINK Armour System™
SLAU-UV-NB-XXX-XX-04
SLAU-UV-NB-XXX-XX-04 KIT
This guide contains directions on the legally mandated
requirements for a proper installation.
Improper installation and/or modifications to the device not expressly
approved by SCAN~LINK Technologies Inc. may expose the operator to
harmful radiation and may void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
The SCAN~LINK Armour System™ is to be used only as a tool to assist a
vehicle operator and does not replace any safety procedures in place, nor
does it remove any responsibility for the safe operation of the vehicle from
the driver.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by SCAN~LINK
Technologies Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The SCAN~LINK Armour System™ is intended for use on mobile equipment in
construction and industrial applications. It is not intended for use by the general
public.

DISCLAIMER
The SCAN~LINK Armour System™ is not ‘safety rated’ and thus
cannot be relied on as front-line defense against equipment-to-
pedestrian or equipment-to-object strikes. It is intended as a
supplementary safety system only, to improve operator and
pedestrian awareness and to help ‘fill in’ blind spots. There is no
replacement for proper training and operation of equipment. The
SCAN~LINK Armour System™ is designed to augment existing site
safety practices and policies, to further inhibit the chances of worker
injuries and fatalities. Remember, pedestrians will not be detected if
they are not wearing functioning, SCAN~LINK™ tagged safety wear.
All employees and visitors to any operations site should be trained in
the functionality of the SCAN~LINK Armour System™ and be fully
aware of their surroundings while on site.
The SCAN~LINK Armour System’s™ installation, operation and
maintenance, in all its forms, is covered by various legal documents,
disclaimers and procedures, all of which are available upon request.
By using the SCAN~LINK Armour System™ or any of its components,
you are bound to adhere to the conditions and practices outlined
therein.

To comply with FCC/IC RF exposure limits for general
population / uncontrolled exposure, the SCAN~LINK™ Antenna
Unit and the Operator Display Unit must be installed to
provide a separation distance of at least 20cm (8 inches) from
all persons and must not be co-located or operating in

MOUNTING
Antenna Mounting
The ideal mounting height for the Armour Antenna is between
5 and 6 feet (150-180cm), but can be installed up to a maximum
of 15 feet (4.5 meters) above grade. Installing above this level
will negatively affect the range of detection.
Choose a mounting location on your machine with 15” vertical
and 10” horizontal clearance (40cm vertical, 25cm horizontal).
The detection area is directional, leaving the ‘face’ of the unit
(the surface labelled SCAN~LINK).
Keep in mind that the antenna must be mounted vertically
with the cords leaving the bottom for proper operation.
BAD: NO VIEW OF GROUND
GOOD: FULL VIEW OF GROUND

8
Armour System Quick Start Guide 1_4
The Antenna must have a clear view of the ground and be
free of obstructions to all sides!
With the fasteners of your choice, securely attach the
mounting bracket face to your machine in the chosen area,
with the pivot bolts on the bottom. The holes in the mounting
bracket are 1/4” (6mm) in diameter.
With the bracket secured, slide the Antenna on to the four bolt-
heads through the channels in the back of the Antenna. When
it is in the desired location, tighten the bolts with a 7/16”
(11mm) ratchet.
Finally, tilt the antenna so that it aims at a target five feet (150
cm) off of the ground at a distance of 20 feet (6m). Tighten
down the pivot bolts so that the unit does not move.
Display Mounting
The Display unit comes in a white box labelled 'In-Cab Display'.
Inside you will find the display unit itself, and two pieces of
dual-lock Velcro.
The cord on the display unit is 6 foot 6 inches (200cm) long,
and requires 12-24 volts DC.
Stick one side of the Velcro to the Display unit, and the other
side to the desired mounting location. The location should be
relatively flat for proper adhesion, and easily visible from a
normal driving position.
The Display is mountable in any orientation, and should be
mounted at least 12” (30cm) away and in view from the
operator’s seat for ease of monitoring.

Armour System Quick Start Guide 1_4
OPTION: Exterior Alarm - Mount and Connect
The SCAN~LINK Armour™package may have come with an
external alarm so workers outside the cab know when they are
in proximity to a piece of active equipment.
The alarm can be mounted in the Antenna Mounting Bracket.
The bracket has mounting holes on either side for the alarm.
Simply unthread the washer from the alarm, insert the alarm
into the mounting hole and thread the washer back on. Use a
Loctite™ adhesive (or similar) on the thread when fastening the
washer for extra durability and to avoid the washer from
vibrating loose.
Once mounted, simply connect the alarm to the Relay Harness
leaving the Antenna. It is the cable on the bottom-left in the
Figure above.

Armour System Quick Start Guide 1_4
It is advised to power the in-cab display from a fused circuit (a
1A fuse is sufficient) to avoid a short circuit if for whatever
reason the wire is pinched.
Antenna Wiring
Your Armour unit may have come with several cables. For now,
we are only interested in one of them: the Power Harness.
The Power Harness should come in a bag labelled 'Power
Harness' –however, you can also identify it by looking at the
connector on one end. If it has two large square holes and six
small holes for pins, you've got the right one.
The Power Harness’wires may be extended with 18AWG
(1.02mm) or larger wire. Ensure that you weatherproof exterior
connections or splices.
RED WIRE
+12-24VDC, fused @ 1A
BLACK WIRE
Ground/Frame
ORANGE WIRE
Trigger: Reverse Signal or Key/Ignition
(12-24V, Active High)
Connect to the same terminal as the RED
wire for Key/Ignition activation if
necessary.
The antenna is active at all times provided it has power but will
not detect tags unless the ORANGE trigger wire is connected.
The ORANGE wire of the Antenna must be connected to either
a Reverse Signal or the same voltage (key/ ignition power) as
the RED wire. If the Antenna’s ORANGE wire is connected to
ignition power (same spot as RED), the antenna scanning

12
Armour System Quick Start Guide 1_4
will be active at all times, regardless of whether the
vehicle is in reverse or not!
Route the wire, being careful to avoid pinch points, and
connect to a fused 12-24V power source. The Antenna is fused
internally, however, this will not protect the wire or vehicle if the
wire were to short against the frame of the vehicle, and so fusing
at 1A is strongly recommended.
At this point, you can connect the Power Harness to the
Antenna. The connector is polarized and can only go in one
way.
If you have multiple wires coming out the base of your
Antenna, the wire hanging out the bottom left of the Antenna
while looking at it is the Power Harness.

Armour System Quick Start Guide 1_4
TESTING
Procedure
Turn the vehicle on to ignition power (you don't need to start
the engine unless it's required to put the vehicle in reverse).
If you have the ORANGE wire of the antenna connected to a
Reverse Signal, you'll need to put the vehicle in reverse.
Stand approximately 30 feet (10 meters) away from the
Antenna, and slowly walk towards the vehicle. When within 20
feet of the vehicle, the Display unit should alarm, and if you
have the External Alarm equipped, it should sound as well.
When not detecting, you can adjust the volume of the Display
Unit by pressing the grey button on the front. The LEDs will

light up one to four and back down to one. The more lights lit,
the louder the volume.
When you step back outside of the detection area, the alarm(s)
will remain activated for an additional three seconds.
Test one more time. If you have to stand closer than 16.4 feet
(5 meters) to the vehicle, it's possible that you need to adjust
your aim either up or down.
Now standing far off to one side, repeat this process to
discover the full extent of the detection region. The detection
region is essentially a 'cone' that can be up to 25 feet (8
meters) long and 12 feet (4 meters) wide.
After verifying this region, turn off the vehicle.
