This warning label is located in the cab. The warning label is fastened to the dash or to another area of the cab that is visible to the operator.
Illustration 2 g01317112
This machine is equipped with a Caterpillar Product Link radio communication device which must be deactivated within 6.0 m (20 ft) of a blast zone. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
Normally, blast zone disconnect switches are not required. Local mine regulations typically require a safe blast zone operating distance that exceeds those specified for Product Link. However, this switch provides a more convenient means to disable Product Link while still being able to operate the machine.If the machine is required to work within 6.0 m (20 ft) of a blast area, then the operator must take one of the following precautions:
Disconnect the Product Link Module from the power source by disconnecting the wiring harness at the Product Link module.
Temporarily remove the Product Link module from the machine.
Add an "ON/OFF" switch and the "BLAST ZONE " label in order to allow the Product Link module to be turned off from the cab.Note: The keyswitch must be placed in the "OFF" position BEFORE placing the Product Link disconnect switch in the "OFF" position. Failure to do so may cause current parameters (SMH, location, etc.) to be lost and/or corrupted. Note: When the Product Link disconnect switch is in the "OFF" position, no communication (SMH, location, level 1/2/3 events, product watches) between the machine and EquipmentManager will take place.Note: Any outgoing messages in the queue will be lost when the blast zone switch is placed in the "OFF" position. Note: While the blast zone switch is in the "OFF" position, the PL121/PL321 will no longer
