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 RED-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 gear charging case. Determine in advance where these parts will be placed. Allow for sufficient freedom of movement around the spectator and the hanging 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 radio receivers.

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 equipped with lighting

Table and chair
A table with chair must be available for operating the EXCON.

Take both access point modules out of the box and slide an access point module onto two tripods. Place the modules right side up – with stickers marked on the access point module – and secure them with the wing bolt.

Now take the top insert – with spare calibration module – out of the box (1) to be able to take the radio receivers out of the bottom insert of the box (2). Place radio receiver 1 and 8 on a tripod with an access point module. Place both radio receivers on the same side as the access point modules and secure them with the wing bolt. Place radio receivers 2 to 7 each on its own tripod and secure them with the wing bolt.

PAY ATTENTION
Make sure that there is a minimum distance of 40 cm between an access point and a radio receiver to prevent interference in the positioning system.

Determine the outer lines of the training field and place the tripods in the correct order around the training field, as shown in the diagram above. Make sure the tripods are NOT exactly symmetrical around the training field. Place the radio receivers in such a way that the numbers are clearly legible from the center of the training field: the readers must be positioned towards the center of the training field. Do not extend the tripods yet!

Connect the network cables according to the diagram above, working from the EXCON. All cables are color coded and letter marked. Connect the connectors only to an equally marked connection point. Lay the cables so that later there will be enough room to completely raise the stands with radio receivers.

Take the laser measurement tool, with USB cable and tripod out of the box and place it on the table next to the EXCON. These parts will be needed later at Survey Training Field.

Check that the radio receivers are working properly. The radio receivers are indicated on the EXCON. In SUIT, go to Location setup (1) and see if the radio receivers are displayed at the expected positions (2). On the left side of the screen, see the radio receivers are working properly (3):

All frequency values are green and between 8-12 Hz
Radio receivers are working properly
One frequency value is 0 Hz
Radio receiver is not working
One frequency value is gray
Radio receiver is not connected (properly). Check that the connectors are properly connected and, if necessary, replace one of the cables with a spare cable.

Check that the access points are working properly. Insert batteries in Smartvest 1 and 12 and turn on both Smartvests by pressing the ON/OFF button on the backpack box (see Smartvests). In SUIT, go to Start training → 2. Physical Gear → Smartvests tab and check the list to see if Smartvest 1 and 12 come online. If the status is Rotary knob they are fully online.
If necessary, perform a comprehensive check by turning on all smartvests and checking to see if they all get Rotary knob status.

PAY ATTENTION
If the Smartvests are not going to be used immediately after setup, turn the Smartvests off after the check by holding down the ON/OFF button on the Smartvest until the display indicates Shutting Down. WAIT FOR THE MESSAGE SYSTEM OFF! Remove the batteries from the smartvests and insert them back into the battery charger. The battery is charged when the green LED on the top left of the battery starts flashing.

Remove the calibration module and press the red ON/OFF switch on the calibration module to O to turn it off. Leave the temporary mark intact until the training field is completed again.

When all radio receivers and access points are working properly, the tripods with radio receivers can be moved up and secured between 2 and 3 meters in height. Be sure to vary the heights of the radio receivers.

Roll the cable around the tripod once so that the cables run from the ground through the base of the tripod straight up toward the radio receivers. Be careful to run the cables behind the radio receivers so as not to interfere with the antennas.

PAY ATTENTION
Beware of tripping. Cables should run completely across the ground around the training field and should only go up through the base of the tripod toward the radio receiver. Lay the cables together in orderly courses as much as possible and make sure there are no loops or kinks in the cables. If necessary, tape the cables to the ground with duct tape.
