• Fitters and Maintenance crew.
• Sub-contractors and Visitors.
• System Administrators and ICT technicians.
In the context of this document, all personnel use Minetec hardware and/or software.

Personal Protective Equipment
Procedure
Steps to perform a system task using Minetec hardware or software. Generally, these steps describe
how the Minetec system works and are independent of the Mine Operator's own documentation.
Procedures may be incorporated in site procedures if appropriate.
RF
Radio Frequency covers electromagnetic wave frequencies that lie in the range extending from around
3 kHz to 300 GHz. RF current is carried via coaxial transmission lines.
SMARTS
Minetec’s SMARTS is the integration of asset, task and KPI management. It is a mine development and
production scheduling system providing tools for the planning, execution, reporting and evaluation of
operational and maintenance tasks in a mine. SMARTS provides intuitive and real-time visibility of
individual tasks within the mining cycle and the ability to modify tasks in response to real-time issues.
System
Administrator
The System Administrator (or simply, Administrator) has high-level system access to make changes to
the software configuration and databases. Administrative functions, including the set-up and
configuration of the hardware, software and infrastructure, are performed by the System
Administrator. The Administrator would typically be an on-site mining engineer. A trained ICT
technician may also perform some of the hands-on Administrator functions. The System Administrator
may other roles (eg Scheduler, Mine Administrator)
TRAX
Minetec's TRAX combines wireless data communications and high-precision wireless tracking. TRAX
uses the CSIRO Wireless Ad-hoc System for Positioning (WASP) including Time of Arrival (ToA)
techniques for accurate ranging. TRAX provides accurate locations even in the harsh environment of an
underground mine. The combination of tracking and real-time data communications provides the
capability to locate, communicate and facilitate mining operations.
Vdc
Voltage, direct current
Vehicle
Vehicles are mobile equipment that are driven and operated an on-board Vehicle Operator, an
on-board computer (viz. autonomous) or a remote operator. In all cases the vehicle has self-contained
drive and steering systems. In the context of the TRAX and SafeDetect systems, a vehicle must have at
least one configured Minetec Mobile Node. In the context of the SafeDetect system, all vehicles are
exposed to potential unwanted event scenarios PUE 1 Equipment to Person and PUE 2 Equipment to
Equipment from the EMESRT Performance Requirement (PR-5A).
Vehicles without suitably configured Minetec equipment are not covered by the
Minetec system and are outside the scope of this document.
W
watt
WASP
Wireless Ad-hoc System for Positioning is a system developed by CSIRO and productised by Minetec
used to locate personnel and vehicle assets with sub-metre precision in an underground mining
scenario. WASP technology has been deployed by Minetec as part of the TRAX system for locating and
tracking in underground mines.
Wireless
Wireless networking in general with bands other than the standard Wi-Fi.
Work
Instruction
A document providing detailed instructions on how to perform a specific task. The instructions typically
contain sections/steps for preparation, isolation and safety, installation or commissioning, testing and
handover or post work instructions. Photographs and/or diagrams should be included for positive
identification of components and locations. Work Instructions are typically created by the Mine
Operator to align generic Minetec procedures and guidelines with on-site HSE policies and procedures.
