Hardware Installation
Step 2 – Installation of 2D Sensor
Locating a suitable spot to install the 2D Sensor is worthwhile taking some time to get right. You are looking for
a place that:
• Is accessible – the Sensor is able to be reached and removed from its mounting plate with the removal key without
interference.
• Sensor will be level and facing forward.
• Arrows on the top of the sensor need be installed facing toward the front of the cab.
• The Sensor ideally needs to be placed in a spot that is level to the floor of the cab.
• Installing the 2D Sensor on a tilt is acceptable if a level location is unable to be found.
• A maximum angle of ±30° on both axis is OK.
• Is free from vibration
• Avoid plastic molding that is removable as this can vibrate when the machine is running.
• Has adequate space for cable and plug
• The communication cable is not under tension. Use an extra XD418 cable if more length is required.
• The cable and plug into the sensor sticks out approximately 1” from the edge of the sensor. 2-3” clearance is
desirable to avoid complications with the cable bending to sharply.
• Will not be subject to knocks or damage
• Avoid areas where tools are commonly stored.
• On some machines, under the floormats to the side of the operators feet is the only location. Take care to make a
safe place where the Sensor and cable will not be affected.
