Location Scouting
Read the safety rules carefully before scouting. This sets out minimum requirements that must be met before the location can be assessed.
Before the SUIT training can take place at a certain location, it must be checked whether this location is suitable for training with SUIT, system COLT-02 and HK-01. Firstly, a location must meet a number of minimum requirements. If the location meets all minimum requirements, a location test with the system must be performed. This requires a minimum of two people.
Minimum location requirements
Before setting up the system, check whether the room meets the minimum requirements for training with SUIT:

Room
Minimum 32.5 x 32.5 meters obstacle-free space
So there is enough space for a training field of 30 x 30 meters – the dimensions of the largest scenario – with enough space all around to be able to walk around the training field. This space must be free of obstacles, such as pillars.
At least 32.5 x 4 meters of space next to the training field
For setting up the EXCON, spectator, Smartvest hanging racks and replica charging case. Determine in advance where these parts will be placed. Allow for sufficient freedom of movement around the spectator and the coat racks.

Floor
Level floor
The floor must be flat, without differences in height or unevenness.
Clean
The floor must be free of dust or sand. If necessary, arrange a sweeper or broom service for this.

Ceiling height
At least 2.5 meters high
At this ceiling height there is enough space for the tripods with the Access Points.

Temperature and humidity
Temperature between 15°C and 35°C
The temperature in the room must remain between these limits during use. Even when the system is left unattended, the temperature must remain within these values to prevent damage to the equipment.
Humidity between 20% and 90%
Only use the system at a relative humidity between 20% and 90% (no condensation).

Room
Lighting
The room must be sufficiently lit and as little natural light as possible for optimal tracking.
Table and chair
A table with chair must be available for operating the EXCON.

Power supply
Always follow the connection diagram for connecting all the equipment of the RED-01 system.
Maximum power: 3605 W divided into three groups:
- Power group A: 1887W (Maximum current: 8.2 A)
- Replica cases

Setting up the system
Preparation
- Before you start setting up, place all the cases in the right place in the room – but not yet on top of each other – according to the setup diagram below.
- Check if all cases are complete using the inventory list.
- Check all cables and connectors for damage. Arrange the cables in orderly paths as much as possible and make sure that there are no loops and kinks in the cables.


Setting up
When setting up SUIT, keep the following in mind:
Order of setting up
Make sure that the EXCON is always set up first and dismantled last. All documentation is located on the EXCON. In addition, the position of the EXCON determines the position of the training field.
Cable reels with residual current circuit breaker (RCCB)
- Make sure that the cable reels are completely unwound.
- Only use the cable reels on grounded sockets.
- Connect the two cable reels each to their own grounded socket with power group. The cable reels may not be connected via each other – daisy chain.
- The cable reels are equipped with an residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) “EPP Elimit” with a green RESET button and a blue TEST button. Whenever a reel is connected to the mains, the following instructions must be followed (these instructions are also printed on the back of the RCD)
How do you use the Elimit?
- Place the plug of your Elimit in a wall socket.
- Press the RESET button to activate your Elimit. The indicator changes from black (off) to red (on).
