3 Hardware Installation
3.1 Before Installation
Installation requires specialized knowledge and must be installed by a Hexagon Mining Authorized Installer.
Hexagon Mining recommends that installation of the OAS-LV equipment be performed by a qualified
technician.
The average installation time varies, and the time of installation will be dependent on vehicle type and options
purchased.
For OAS-LV module safety and installation instructions refer to the HxGN Mine Discover OAS-LV Installation
Manual.
WARNING
All Hexagon Mining Equipment must be installed by qualified installation personnel.
CAUTION:
During any welding on the machine, the OAS-LV module must be completely isolated from
the machine by disconnecting all its cables including power, I/O, and RF cables. Welding
can cause large ground currents, which may damage internal electronic components of the
OAS-LV module or its GPS antenna. The OAS-LV module is not warranted for damage when
connected during welding activities.
⚫ Install the system in a clean and dry workshop environment. Failure to do so may cause the system to
short or promote product malfunction.
⚫ Route and secure all cables and wiring to ensure that they do not rub, causing premature failure.
3.2 OAS-LV Module Installation
CAUTION
RF Exposure: OAS-LV has internal antennas and must be mounted more than 20 cm away
from the human body.
WARNING
Do not mount the OAS-LV where it may obscure the driver’s view of the road or field.
Do not mount the OAS-LV where it may be struck by a deploying airbag.
For OAS-LV module safety and installation instructions refer to the HxGN Mine Discover OAS-LV Installation
Manual.
3.2.1 Power Cable Installation
For OAS-LV module safety and installation instructions refer to the HxGN Mine Discover OAS-LV Installation
Manual.
WARNING
Always ensure the power supply cable is connected at the 9-32V DC power supply source
on the vehicle through a fuse rated no higher than 3A. Failure to do so may result in damage
to the equipment and/or fire.
CAUTION
The OAS-LV unit is a 9-32-volt DC (negative-to-earth) system only. Connecting to a positive-
to-earth system will cause damage, which is not covered by warranty.
There are two ways to connect the power cable to the vehicle:
⚫ Cigarette plug
⚫ Regular Installation
3.2.1.1 Installation using Cigarette Plug
1. Make sure the vehicle cigarette socket supplies a voltage in the range from 9 to 32V DC.
