SYSTEM COMPONENTS FOR RENTAL EQUIPMENT

By using magnetic mounting brackets, portable batteries, and battery adapters, you can turn any SCAN~LINK system into a portable, non-invasive, and rental-friendly safety system.

PORTABLE SCAN~LINK DISPLAY UNIT

Non-Invasive Installation: The Portable Display Unit can be powered through a standard vehicle cigarette lighter connection, eliminating the need for hardwired installation into the machine’s electrical system.


Wireless System Communication: The Display Unit communicates wirelessly with the SCAN~LINK Antenna Unit, enabling fast setup and removal when equipment is transferred between job sites.

PORTABLE BATTERY ADAPTERS

The SCAN~LINK Portable Battery Adapter allows the Armour System™ to operate using widely available DeWalt or Milwaukee batteries, or other portable batteries, eliminating the need for a hardwired connection to the machine’s electrical system.


The adapter plugs directly into the SCAN~LINK antenna power cable, providing reliable portable power for temporary or rental equipment installations.


Flexible Power Options: The SCAN~LINK Armour System™ can be powered using a variety of portable battery platforms. While the document below illustrates operating times using DeWalt batteries, adapter options are available for other battery systems to support customer preferences and site requirements.

FAQs

Find answers to common questions about SCAN~LINK RFID detection systems on rental or temporary equipment.

  • Does the SCAN~LINK Portable System work on any rental equipment, or only specific machines?

    The portable SCAN~LINK system works on any heavy equipment — excavators, skid steers, wheel loaders, dump trucks, telehandlers, and more — regardless of make or model. The magnetic mounting brackets and cigarette lighter-powered display unit are designed to fit any cab environment without modification.


  • Can the system be transferred between different machines on the same site?

    Yes. Transferring the system between machines is one of the primary use cases the portable kit is designed for. If equipment rotates between jobsites or is swapped mid-project, the antenna, display unit, and battery adapter can be moved in minutes without tools.

  • Does the portable system have the same detection performance as a hardwired installation?

    Yes. The portable battery and magnetic mounting do not affect the detection range or alert performance of the SCAN~LINK Armour System™. Worker detection, operator alerts, and ground worker alarms all function identically to a permanently installed system.
