3 Operation

3.1 Operation Overview

A typical deployment of any Velociti SiteShield includes the following steps: 1. Preparing the trailer for transportation and operation 2. Transporting the trailer to its destination 3. Deploying the towable trailer which includes: a. Locating the safest and most optimal location for the trailer b. Positioning the trailer c. Leveling the trailer d. Set-up and configuration

3.2 Transportation

Attaching trailers to vehicles can be a hazardous endeavor. It’s important to know how to transport your equipment as safely as possible and how to maintain safety around other vehicles. Read, understand and obey all the towing vehicles manufacturer’s recommendations, warnings and instructions before towing your trailer.

Velociti SiteShield is designed to be portable using standard towing vehicles. While the trailer weighs just 2000 lbs., the Class II 2” ball coupler is rated for use on towed equipment up to 3500 lbs. and is drilled for padlock or pinlock. Ensure the tow hitch and coupling on the tow vehicle are rated for weight equal to or greater than the trailer’s gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). Before securing the hitch to the tow vehicle or loading trailers onto a flatbed or other mode of transportation, follow the steps below before transporting.

3.2.1 Before Towing

• Refer to section 3.4 Shutdown and Storage • Ensure the trailer coupler is fully seated on the ball and the latch is locked (use a safety pin or padlock). Cross the safety chains under the tongue and secure them to the tow vehicle frame, do not let them drag on the pavement • Check tire pressure on all trailer tires • Connect the 7-way (or 4-way) trailer plug and verify that all running lights, brake lights, and turn signals are operational.

3.2.2 During Towing

• Do not tow the trailer with any people, parts, supplies, or additional equipment attached to the trailer or loaded onto it. • Do not tow additional trailers or other equipment in tandem with the solar trailer. • The recommended maximum speed for highway towing is 80 mph. For off-road towing, the recommended maximum speed is 15 mph or less, depending on terrain. • Adhere to applicable transportation department regulations when towing the trailer. • If whipping or swaying occurs, do not attempt to correct it by turning the steering wheel, do not apply the brakes, and DO NOT speed up. Instead, release the gas pedal and hold the steering wheel in a straight-ahead position until the whipping or swaying stops. Whipping and swaying can be caused by excessive speed, crosswinds, and many other conditions. • When entering job sites with uneven ground, drive slowly to prevent the mast or solar array from flexing violently

3.2.3 After Towing

• Identify an ideal location for SiteShield deployment. Ideal locations should be even, level, and free of debris • Disconnect the tow-chains and taillight plug from the tow vehicle • Use the jack mounted on the drawbar to lift the drawbar and release it from the vehicle’s hitch. • Move the tow vehicle away from the SiteShield once it is safely detached

3.5 YourSix Platform

YourSix is a cloud-native physical security platform that powers the video surveillance and security systems on the SiteShield. Unlike traditional systems that rely on complex on-site recorders, YourSix operates as a "Physical Security as a Service" (PSaaS) solution. This means all video footage, access control, and security alerts are managed securely in the cloud.

To gain access to the YourSix platform, please refer to the onboarding process detailed in 1.5 Site Onboarding

The YourSix platform can be accessed in one of the following ways: • Scan the QR code on the front of the camera head enclosure • Navigate to https://platform.yoursix.com • Using either the Android app or iOS app
