Proximity Detection Device (PDD)

 The PDD carried by the miner is very small, weighs only  0.43lb (0.19kg). The electronic circuit board inside the PDD measures the strength of the magnetic field generated by the MF4 Antennas and sends this information to the approaching vehicle.
 

Dimensions: 108mm x 104mm x 37mm
                    4.18 x  4.5" x 1.43"

Weight:        0.19kg  0.43 lbs
 

The PDD’s built-in radio transceiver sends the calculated data to the Buddy Unit on the vehicle.  It’s the Buddy Unit that uses the data to decide when it’s time to generate a warning and then (if required) to shut down the vehicle.
 

This photograph shows how small the PDD is. The PDD slides directly onto the miner’s belt, no fiddling around with tiny straps and small buckles.

Nautilus sells the Cap-Lamp and Battery Pack as a separate item that does not include the Buddy system. Therefore the Charger is available in different models. The individual, single charger is shown.  Rack mounted systems complete with an electrical cabinet suitable for charging 12, 24 or 102 Battery packs is also available as shown above.
