Remarks

1. Always adhere to the machine manufacturer’s instructions.
2. BlokCam ® should be used to assist the operator’s judgement, not replace it.
3. All aspects of installation, removal, charging, use and fault finding should only be carried out by trained and competent persons.
4. Ensure BlokCam ® parts and components do not interfere with machine manufacturers and/or third-party components, parts and systems, moving or otherwise.
5. Prior to adverse weather conditions or in any situation where BlokCam parts or components may become dislodged or come into unfavourable contact with the machine and/or third-party components, moving or otherwise, all magnetically mounted BlokCam parts and components must be removed.
6. Always ensure that Lanyards are connected, and Rapid Links are tightened. Consider that the machine and/or mounting point may change configuration, shape, and size.
7. High powered magnets in use. Neodymium magnets are permanent and strong, use correct protective equipment to avoid trapping hazard.

Introduction

BlokCam ® is a wireless camera system that can be quickly and easily deployed to a ferrous surface, including steel. The sound and view captured by the camera is then transmitted and received wirelessly to a viewing platform such as a Laptop, tablet, or monitor. This allows the operator to see and hear the load and surroundings, giving an unobstructed, live, audiovisual feed of the previously unseen critical areas.

The Process Explained

1. A Battery provides power to the Transmitter and the Sensors.
2. The Sensors capture, encode, and push the data through the transmitter to the next wireless transceiver.
3. Depending on the required configuration, the data may be transmitted through one or more battery powered transceivers.
4. Finally, the data will reach the transceiver and decoder within the M3 display which projects the image and audio through the Monitor.

Antennas

Foreword

A Flat Panel Antenna is an antenna which radiates or receives greater power in specific directions allowing increased performance and reduced interference from unwanted sources.

In general, Flat Panel Antennas provide increased performance over omnidirectional antennas when greater concentration of radiation in a certain direction is desired.

Duck Bill Antennas are omni directional. Omnidirectional antennas are a class of antenna which radiates equal radio power in all directions perpendicular to an axis. This radiation pattern is often described as doughnut shaped. Omni directional antennas do not emit a signal out of the tip of the antenna.

For best performance, the orientation between the transmitting and receiving antennas must remain parallel and in-line (not offset), consistent and with a direct line of sight.

Foreword

The installation and orientation of the Sensor should correctly correlate with the monitor and machinery movements. Following installation, test to ensure the relationship between the Sensor, monitor and machinery are fixed, permanent and accurate i.e. is the image the correct orientation, all the time?

Note: When mounting a Sensor to a rotating surface, the added variable may cause a lack of synchronicity between the Sensor, monitor and machinery.

1. Changing the orientation of the camera is a tool free operation. The Camera and Rotary Boss are sprung loaded into locator slots. To rotate the camera, lift, rotate and lower the Sprung Loaded Rotary Boss. Use the engraved text, map, and notch as a guide to relocate correctly. As indicated the Rotary Boss will not rotate past 315 degrees due to the rotation stop.

Mount & Secure the Repeater/s

Foreword

The Repeater is a modular transceiver that relays the wireless signal. The Repeater can be powered over ethernet (POE), by the BlokCam ® Battery or an alternative 12-24Vdc supply.

To protect against ingress, it is necessary to cap and seal all unused ports using the supplied blanking plug/s.

The installation, quantity, mounting, location, position and orientation are dependent on the required configuration. Systems with multiple Repeaters must be connected in the correct series order.

The Repeater and Battery connect with cables. Prior to installation, plan a compatible layout and consider:

• the intended position of the Repeater;
• lanyard length and distance to a secure point;
• the position and/or intended position of other paired transceivers;
• the most suitable antenna for the operation;
• the intended position of the Battery;
• the power cable length and route;
• the distance between the Battery and Repeater;
• the lanyard length and distance to a secure point;
• that the battery is changed on a regular basis

1. Magnetically mount the Repeater to a clean and flat surface.
2. Choose the most suitable antenna/s based on the location of other transceivers.
3. Connect the antenna/s to the antenna ports. On the top side of the Repeater
4. If required, use the N-type right angle connectors (elbow joints) to achieve the desired position.

Battery Charging Instructions

Foreword

The BlokCam ® M3 camera system runs on a non-hazardous battery. Under normal operating conditions each battery should provide approximately 12 hours of use. Certain operating conditions will decrease the standard runtime of the battery, including extreme hot or cold temperatures. The battery takes approximately 5 hours to fully charge.

Spare batteries should be kept in a clean and dry environment. BlokCam ® recommend swapping and charging the battery at the beginning of every shift.

1. Ensure charging contacts on the Battery and Charging Station are clean, dry and in good condition.

2. Ensure that the Charging Station is powered up.

3. Place the discharged battery into the Charging Station.
   

4. Use the Charge Indicator LED and Indicator Plate to monitor the charge condition.

5. When charged and/or required, lift the battery from the Charging Station.

Operating Instructions

Foreword

Operation is reliant on correct installation, charged batteries and/or a reliable power source.

1. Power up the M3 Monitor via the suitable power supply. The Monitor should power up automatically.
2. Power up the all transceivers with a fully charged battery as instructed on page 7.
3. Following completion of the start-up procedure the camera system should be fully functional and ready to use.
4. If required, re-position the sensor to achieve the desired view.

Accessing & Downloading Saved Data

Foreword

To access and download saved data, ensure the BlokCam ® system and components are installed correctly and fully operational.

You will need a Laptop with VMS installed (Video Management Software), a Cat5e RJ45 Patch Cable of suitable length, basic networking and IT skills and access to the M3 – All in One Monitor. Laptop/System recommendations and VMS are available from www.blokcam.com

Connecting to the Network

1. Connect the Cat5e RJ45 Patch Cable between the laptop and LAN Port on the rear of the M3 – All in One Monitor.
2. To avoid conflict, ensure all other networks, wired or otherwise are disconnected and/or disabled.
3. Ensure the Laptop Internet Protocol Version 4 Properties are configured to ‘Obtain an IP address automatically’.
4. Ensure the Laptop Internet Protocol Version 4 Properties are configured to ‘Obtain DNS server address automatically’.

In some scenarios it may be necessary to manually configure the Laptops IP Address

An IPv4 IP Address is made up of 4 Octets. The first, second and third Octet must be identical for connectivity across all paired units. The fourth Octet must be unique to avoid conflicting IP Addresses.
