PROXIMITY WARNING - ZONE
• When the remote operator enters the Warning-Zone his TC5 will
beep, his PDD will beep and the red light on top of the PDD (located
directly below his chin) will start flashing quickly.
• At the same time his loader’s Horn will honk on and off and it’s front
and rear Headlights will flash on and off.
• The TC5 display will also flash a warning message to let the remote
operator know that he’s too close to his remote loader.
• These 7 warnings will continue until he moves back a safe distance
away from his loader.
PROXIMITY HALT- ZONE
• When the remote operator enters the Halt-Zone, all 7 of the audible
and visual alarms on the TC5, PDD and LHD will continue.
• His loader’s Service and Park brakes will be applied, halting the
loader. The throttle will return to idle, Tram Fwd and Rev will be
cancelled and Neutral selected.
• The TC5 display will flash a warning message to let the remote
operator know that he has entered the Halt-Zone and therefore his
TC5 cannot remotely control any of his LHD’s functions.
• Fuel will continue flowing to his loader’s engine so it will not stop.
His only sensible choice is to move back until he is a safe distance
away from his LHD and all of the alarms are cancelled.

PROXIMITY SHUTDOWN ZONE

If the remote operator moves even closer to his loader it’s fuel supply will be
cut off and after a second or two the engine will stop.

The Master Safety relay inside the loader’s Remote Vehicle Unit will be deenergized and all remotely controlled functions will be disabled.

All of the audible and visual alarms on the TC5, PDD and LHD will also be
turned off and it will be completely quiet.

Only the red light on top of the PDD will still be activated & flashing quickly
showing the operator that his PDD is still monitoring the magnetic field
strength from the MF4 Radiator and knows that the LHD is too close.

The TC5 display will also flash a warning message to let the remote
operator know that his Loader’s engine has been shut down and the LHD is
completely disabled. He should know anyway because the Front and Rear
Headlights lights will be turned off and it will be dark.

The TC5 operator will not be allowed to start his loader’s engine until he’s
walked all the way back into the Safe-Zone.
Buddy Proximity is great for
protecting the operator
from his loader
However,
at long distances
Operators also need a great view
of what’s happening in front
and behind their loaders.
The solution is:
stream video from
cameras on the LHD
directly to the operator

AUTO-MATE
One of the most important features of the TC5 Buddy System is Auto-Mate because it provides a huge
benefit for our customers in several ways:
FLEXIBILITY
Auto-Mate allows any operator to use any available TC5 radio control or any available Proximity Detection
Device (PDD) with any available TC5 series Remote Vehicle Unit (RVU) to remotely control any loader.
Therefore, our customers will have amazing flexibility.
PURCHASING
Purchasing a TC5 or PDD is simple because no frequency or I.D. Code needs to be specified. These two
items are generic and can be purchased using only their part numbers.
SERVICING
Mine electricians do not need to know the system’s frequency or I.D. Code and they don’t need any tools or
special knowledge. They only need to know the correct password (Supervisor-Code). Auto-Mate makes
trouble-shooting easy.
If the system stops working then a Supervisor can temporarily disable the PDD in about 10 seconds. If the
system still doesn’t work that leaves only the TC5 and RVU to check and the TC5 is easy to swap with any
other TC5 unit.
Nautilus – making life easier for our customers

VEHICLE I.D. (V.I.D.)
Each loader has a unique V.I.D. Box which is bolted to it’s chassis and should remain
there for the rest of it’s life, just like the V.I.N. number on your car.
The RVU can be removed from the loader and replaced at any time. The V.I.D. box must
not be removed.
When his TC5 is powered on it will show the operator everything he needs to know
before he tries to remotely control it. The type of Loader it’s mated to and it’s License
Plate #.
For example: LHD LT270 - 0007
The TC5 will also show the operator the Serial Number of the PDD that it’s mated to.
For example: PDD SN# 2017-0138
Each time the TC5 is powered on and the operator is about to remotely control a loader it
will sound it’s horn 3 times and flash it’s headlights three times to let him (and anyone else
nearby) know that this is the loader that he’s about to remotely operate.
