4.3 Features
Used in Minetec solutions, the Personal Node:
• Has ingress protection of IP66/67 (Dust and water tight).
• Automatically turns off when placed in the Personal Node Charging Dock.
• Automatically turns on when removed from the Personal Node Charging Dock.
• Performs a start-up sequence when removed from the Personal Node Charging Dock.
• Uses over-the-air configuration - performed by the System Administrator.
• Does not requires any cables.
• Requires minimal user interaction.
The Personal Node also includes a small recess at the top of the back cover suitable for adding
customised self-adhesive labels. The Mine Operator can decide which information, if any, is added to
this recess. Typically the label would be, for example, a barcode, alphanumeric identifier (eg
PN1014) or an asset number. The recess size is 37 x 12 mm. If required, optional adhesive backed
clear label protectors (Minetec M1011031 Label Protector Kit containing 20 clear adhesive label
protectors) can be attached to the top of the label to minimise scuffing. The label protectors are
sized to the recess so if the label is not self-adhesive, allow for some overlap of the label protector to
secure the label, which should be no larger than 33 x 8 mm.
To prevent accidental shut down, the Personal Node has no user on/off switch.
