Stage 1 – Hardware Installation

This process will consist of the following steps:

•

Step 1 - Installation of LED Indicator and C-Box in cab

•

Step 2 - Installation of 2D Sensor in cab

•

Step 3 - Installation of Mounting Plates for Boom and Dipper Sensors

Step 1 - Installation of LED Indicator and C-Box

Machine is to be powered off.

•

Before plugging in the cables, find suitable locations to mount the LED Indicator and Screen.

•

The LED indicator should be put on the front window, in your field of vision of the working area outside.

•

The C-Box is usually mounted onto the right hand side window and at a distance that is comfortably
reached by hand.

•

Allow clearance for the front window to be opened or slid up into the roof.

•

Use window cleaner to clean both the glass and the suction cup mounts so as to achieve a good
contact.

•

Screw in cables and make tidy with conduit, cable ties etc.

•

DO NOT PLUG IN POWER

until

AFTER

2D Sensor is Installed.

•

Now you are ready to install the 2D Sensor.
