6. User Manual
Introduction
Blaxtair is a Proximity Detection system for industrial vehicles.
Combined with safety practices, it will help you improve safety in the vicinity of dangerous industrial, earthmoving, or mining machines by providing relevant and reliable information to the driver.
To get the best from this high-tech equipment implementing a breakthrough technology, and before starting to use Blaxtair, it is strongly recommended to read this manual. It indicates the warnings, scope of use, troubleshooting, and standard maintenance procedures of Blaxtair, to maintain the equipment at its best performance.
Blaxtair Key Features
Improves safety, working conditions, and productivity
Detects and localizes pedestrians in real-time
Detects any posture (i.e., standing, crouching, or in partial view) to prevent collisions with vehicles, whether driving forward or reverse.
It avoids unnecessary alerts that tire the driver.
Control & reduction of accident risks thanks to the integrated Blaxtair Connect
Future-proofed: online maintenance & remote software updates
Scalable: ready for future additional features or cloud services

Warning notices
A warning assistant system
Blaxtair is designed to provide the Operator with additional information which could help them when driving. It is not an alarm system, and it does not reduce the responsibility of the Operator or their manager in case of a collision. Blaxtair is designed to supplement the current safety practices already implemented. It must be integrated into a comprehensive safety policy, considering the risk factors specific to the company's activities.
Vehicle control and safety of operations remain the responsibility of the Operator and the authorities in charge.
Adapt vehicle speed to the environment
Most collisions between industrial vehicles and pedestrians occur when setting off or after a sudden change of direction. Blaxtair is optimized to provide pertinent information to the driver during these critical phases.
When the vehicle is operational, the driver must adapt the speed to the environment and remains observant.
Blaxtair is not designed to detect pedestrians when the vehicle is traveling at high speed.
Operators' training
Each year, worksite accidents result in the loss of life, significant personal injuries, and damage to products and facilities. Most are the result of driver error.
Standard operator training should be carried out before operators use any equipment installed with Blaxtair systems and followed by periodic training to ensure awareness of usage and limits.
The optimal performance of Blaxtair systems is subject to compliance with recommendations for use and maintenance as described in this manual.
Vehicle control interface
Arcure recommends asking the vehicle manufacturer before connecting Blaxtair to the vehicle control system (e.g., brake system).

Description
Blaxtair saves lives. The most advanced pedestrian detection solution to prevent collisions with machinery, able at the same time to alert drivers to danger, to avoid unnecessary alarms and to helps HSE and site managers to control and reduce the risk of accidents. Compact, robust, connected, scalable, and easy to install, with unparalleled performance on the market, Blaxtair is the only AI camera capable of accurately detecting and locating pedestrians in real-time, in any posture (standing, crouching, or partially occulted) in all the most demanding work environments.
To go beyond the prevention of last-second accidents, the system integrates the Cloud-based IoT solution "Blaxtair Connect" which revolutionizes the safety of people around machines by dividing the coactivity between machines and pedestrians by 3.

Performance Evaluation
* U bracket can show weakness in case of high vibrations. We advise to use 6-axis mount bracket for Camera installation. A new generation of U bracket is developed to strengthen this aspect.
** The Blaxtair camera undergoes a series of rigorous performance evaluations to ensure optimal functionality in various environments. As part of our commitment to quality and innovation, we continuously refine our testing strategies and adapt to evolving standards. Current procedures are designed to assess the camera's resilience and operational integrity under various conditions, including electromagnetic environments.
Note: Additional evaluations are part of our ongoing product enhancement efforts, ensuring that users benefit from the latest advancements and compliance with industry standards.
