Introduction
This Special Instruction will provide instructions for installing the PL671 module for use in Detect products.
Cat® Detect Proximity Awareness uses a combination of hardware and software, both onboard (machine) and off board (infrastructure and office) to provide information to the machine operator. The machine sends GPS positions to other machines using a dedicated short range radio and to the office (server) over a wireless radio network. The office then processes all the messages from the individual machines and broadcast the messages out over the wireless radio network. The display processes the messages and calculates machines of interest based on the position of your machines and the machines around you.
Important Safety Information
Do not perform any procedure in this Special Instruction until you have read this Special Instruction and you understand this information. Use only proper tools and observe all precautions that pertain to the use of those tools. Failure to follow these procedures can result in personal injury. The following procedures should also be observed.
Work safely. Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance, and repair are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs.
A person must be alert to potential hazards. This person should also have the necessary training, skills, and tools in order to perform these functions properly.
Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this instruction and on the product. If these hazard warnings are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other persons. Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard.

Personal injury or death can result when voiding this certification. Structural damage, an overturn, modification, alteration, or improper repair can impair the Rollover Protective Structure's (ROPS) protection capability thereby voiding this certification. Do not drill holes in the ROPS. Do not weld on the ROPS unless welding is specified in the procedure. Place welds only at the locations that are specified in the procedure. To avoid possible weakening of this ROPS, consult a Caterpillar dealer before altering this ROPS in any way. The protection offered by this ROPS will be impaired if it has been subjected to structural damage. Consult a Caterpillar dealer to determine this structure's limitations without voiding its certification. |
|
|
Improper operation of an access platform could result in injury or death. Operators must carry out their duties properly and follow all instructions and guidelines given for the machine and access platform. |
Machine Specific Warnings
|
|
Do not operate or work on this machine unless you have read and understand the instructions and warnings in the Operation and Maintenance Manual. Failure to follow the instructions or heed the warnings could result in injury or death. Contact any Caterpillar dealer for replacement manuals. Proper care is your responsibility. |
|
|
Sudden movement or accidental starting of the machine can cause personal injury or death to persons on or near the machine. To prevent personal injury or death, perform the following: Park the machine on a smooth level surface. Lower the blade and or attachments to the ground. Stop the engine and engage the parking brake. Block the wheels and install the steering frame lock. Turn the battery disconnect switch to the OFF position and remove the key. Place a Special Instruction, SEHS7332, "Do Not Operate" tag at the battery disconnect switch location to inform personnel that the machine is being worked on. |
Weld Specifications and Qualifications
|
|
Personal injury or death can result from fumes, gases and ultraviolet rays from the weld arc. Welding can cause fumes, burn skin and produce ultraviolet rays. Keep your head out of the fumes. Use ventilation, exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing area. Wear eye, ear and body protection before working. Protect yourself and others; read and understand this warning. Fumes and gases can be dangerous to your health. Ultraviolet rays from the weld arc can injure eyes and burn skin. Electric shock can cause death. Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions and your employer's safety practices. Do not touch live electrical parts. See "American National Standard Z49.1, Safety in Welding and Cutting" published by the American Welding Society. American Welding Society2501 N.W. 7th Street Miami, Florida 33125 See "OSHA Safety and Health Standards, 29 CFR 1910", available from U.S. Department of Labor.

Reference: Special Instruction, REHS1841, "General Welding Procedures" for more welding instructions.
Proper Welding Procedure on Machines and Engines with Electronic Controls
Proper precautions are necessary to prevent damage to electronic controls. When you weld on a machine with electronic controls, use the steps that follow:
- Turn off the engine. Put the key start switch in the OFF position.
- If the machine has a battery disconnect switch, open the switch. If the machine does not have a battery disconnect switch, disconnect the negative battery cable at the battery.
- Connect the ground cable for the welder directly to the actual machine component that will be welded. Attach the clamp for the ground cable as close as possible to the area that is being welded. This connection will reduce the chance of damage from welding current to the components that follow: bearings, hydraulic components, and electrical components.
Note: Do NOT use electrical components as a ground point for the welder. Do NOT use ground points for electronic components as a ground point for the welder.
- Protect the wiring harnesses from the weld splatter.

General Installation Guidelines
This system can be installed onboard in a stand-alone manner or integrated into an existing MineStar Onboard installation. Refer to Illustration 6 and Illustration 7.
Mounting Location Identification
Identify the location to mount the PL671 Module:
- For Large Trucks such as Large Mining Trucks, Off-Highway Trucks, and Articulated Trucks two modules will be required. The modules should be mounted on opposite sides of the truck, at least
30.48 cm (12 inch) above the walking surface, and behind the side view mirrors. After installation and configuration, coverage of the modules should be verified and documented.
Note: If the cab deck has a large amount of spill rock or debris on it, place the PL671 unit in front of the mirrors to reduce possible damage.
- For Support Equipment such as Motor Graders, Rubber Tire Dozers, Track Type Tractors, Wheel Loaders, and other construction type machines one module will be required. The module should be mounted on a hand rail or the high point of the machine. After installation and configuration, coverage of the module should be verified and documented.
Avoid mounting the PL671 where it will:
- Interfere with machine accessibility
- Obstruct operator view
- Be subjected to continuous rock or debris strikes
- Not have full visibility to the sky when mounted horizontally
Vertical Mounting
When mounted as a dual PL671 system using an external antenna, the modules must be mounted vertically with the connectors facing downward.
Examples of when to mount vertically using an external antenna:
- Installation on a Large Mining Truck
- Installation on an Off-Highway Truck

PL671 Indicator Lights
The PL671 is a V2x module used on Cat Detect systems. The module contains 4 LED indicator lights that indicate the following scenarios:
Green LED
The purpose of the green LED is to indicate when the radio is powered ON or OFF.
Green LED OFF - Indicates that the radio is not powered.
Green LED ON - Indicates that the radio is powered properly and is ON.
Green LED Blinking - The green LED will blink when a fault has been detected that will prevent the application firmware from running. If the green LED is blinking, contact your Caterpillar dealer.
Orange LED - GPS
The purpose of the orange LED is to indicate whether a GPS fix has been made.
Orange LED OFF - The orange LED will be OFF when a GPS antenna is not found by the radio.
Orange LED ON - The GPS antenna is working properly, and can see enough GPS satellites to determine a good location fix.
Orange LED Blinking - The orange LED will have a constant blinking status when the GPS antenna is working properly, however not enough GPS satellites are viewable to get a good GPS location fix. If a blinking orange LED persists, contact your Caterpillar dealer.
Yellow LED - DSRC Communications
The purpose of the yellow LED is to indicate that a connection to the communication network, through DSCR, is being attempted. This action does not indicate that there is an appropriate signal, only that the hardware is working properly, and capable of making a connection given that a signal is present.
Yellow LED OFF - Indicates no DSRC communications available.
Yellow LED Blinking - Indicates that there is a DSRC fault and the device is unable to launch communications.
Blue LED - Ethernet
The purpose of the blue LED is to determine when Ethernet connections are present.
