Document Introduction 1 The HxGN MineProtect CAS 10 Installation Manual is part of the Hexagon Mining reference manual suite. The HxGN MineProtect CAS 10 Installation Manual is to be used as a technical reference manual for the hardware installation. Configuration and how to set up the system and features are described in the technical reference manual HxGN MineProtect Configuration Manual.
2 Operation Safety Procedures A vehicle equipped with the HxGN MineProtect CAS 10 System must be operated in the same safe manner as if the HxGN MineProtect CAS 10 System was not installed. The system is not a substitute for normal safe driving procedures and may never be relied upon. The HxGN MineProtect CAS 10 System will provide no warning for some hazards, such as vehicles, obstacles, and other objects not equipped with properly operating HxGN MineProtect CAS 10.
3 Product Introduction 3.1 Overview The main task for HxGN MineProtect series products is to support the operator while he scans the space ahead and around the vehicle with his own eyes, and other (technical) aids. HxGN MineProtect CAS 10 products are simple to use and are designed not to distract the operator from operating the vehicle. The main components are QC1000 Smart Antenna and as display options QD1400 Display 5 (default) or the QD200 LED Display. 3.
or safety information in the form of symbols, icons and text. It provides both location and type of vehicle of nearby opponent vehicles. It features a touch display for operator input if required. QD200 LED Display provides a directional information of nearby traffic and danger as well as for acoustical warnings (beeping over buzzer) and one button for input. The Smart Antenna receives position and movement information from an internal high-sensitivity dual-band, multi-constellation GNSS module.

5.10 Face plate/Label Description A label is placed at the lower side of the QC1000 indicating Model, Article Number, Manufacturer and compliance statements. Label is white print on black background. 5.11 User Interface – LED bar At the front of the Smart Antenna, there is a light bar backed with high-brightness LEDs. LED bar provides indications on system status. The LED bar provides system status during installation as well as during operations.

After identification mode, LED bar indication reverts back to the correct indication based on status. 5.12 Network Capabilities pending 5.13 SIM Card and eSIM capabilities SIM card form factor: nano Installation of SIM card has to be done by qualified workshop. 5.14 General Purpose Input Outputs (GPIOs) A versatile scheme of relaying environmental information from and to the QC1000 unit is available through the GPIOs.
The following schematic shows the recommended connection to the reverse switch signal in a vehicle with negative isolation switch (as found in Caterpillar, Komatsu and alike). QC1000 Battery Isolator Switch Protection Relay Vehicle load Reverse Switch Reversing Buzzer This configuration prevents eventual currents flowing from the QC1000 reverse input to the vehicle systems when the isolator switch is opened or the negative connection of the CAS should become disconnected. 5.
QL1212 Through-Hole Mount Module Smart Antenna 5.16.2 Installation of QC1000 with magnetic mount QL1210 Mag Mount Smart Antenna QC1000 provides an optionally the QL1210 Mag Mount Smart Antenna. Replace the through-hole mount module with QL1210 Mag Mount using the same screws. QL1210 is fitted with very strong magnets. This magnetic base attaches to any reasonably magnetic material. It allows an easy installation on vehicle roof tops and is ideal for light or other vehicles with moderate vibration.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Displays 6 To convey information for collision avoidance and traffic awareness as well as other system and operational information to the user, a UI/UX interface must be installed. The CAS 10 solution provides two options to choose from: • QD1400 HxGN MineDiscover Display 5 (standard) • QD200 Remote Display (optional) 6.
The LED brightness is automatically controlled based on ambient light, in order to provide dimming for night operation. The buzzer, with a maximum volume of 85dB (at 10cm distance), can be automatically controlled based on ambient noise. The image shows a display while the device is operating in a vehicle, traveling forward (‘Reverse LED’, second from top, is OFF) and a vehicle (equipped with another Hexagon CAS device) is detected.
6.4 Installation of QD200 Remote Display • • • The QD200 Remote Display has a male M8 type connector with 4 contacts. It connects to the QD221 and QD222 extension cables. The back side of the display’s aluminum housing includes two 8mm deep M4 blind threads, so that the housing can easily be secured. Forcing screws longer than 8 mm into the nuts may cause damage and voids warranty. The remote display is light enough to be fixed with 3M dual lock.
7 System Installation 7.1 General Rules and Best Practices Please check on the following conditions before beginning any work. Differing installations will void the warranty of Hexagon MineProtect systems: ▪ ▪ Installations may only be carried out by trained electricians. Only antennas supplied by Hexagon may be used. Unless certified, installation and operation of HxGN MineProtect systems must be on the basis of non-interference with existing equipment.

7.4 Haul Trucks 7.4.1 System Diagram 7.4.2 QC1000 Location It is not always possible to position the QC1000 on the topmost location. On haul trucks the bucket might be covering the entire structure of the vehicle and thus making the installation of an QC1000 on the top rather impractical. In this case Hexagon recommends using a pole on which the QC1000 can be mounted. The best position for QC1000 is one of the front corners.
• • THE LEFT PICTURE SHOWS AN ANTENNA DIRECTLY UNDER THE CANOPY . THE ANTENNA ’S RECEPTION IS VERY BAD . IN THE RIGHT PICTURE THE ANTENNA IS POSITIONED LOWER BUT STILL HAS BAD RECEPTION DUE TO BEING UNDER THE CANOPY . QC1000 positions in the above drawings improve from left to right: • • THE THIRD PICTURE SHOWS AN ACCEPTABLE POSITION . THE ANTENNA IS NOT COVERED BY THE CANOPY AND IS AT LEAST 1M FROM ANY METAL STRUCTURE SUCH AS THE CANOPY , THE HANDRAIL OR THE CABIN PLATFORM .
7.6 Shovels and Excavators Some vehicles can turn or rotate and hence change their heading without any forward or backward movement, such as track dozers and shovels. In such cases, it is recommended that a second QC1000 unit (called beacon) is added so that the direction of movement of the vehicle is always defined. 7.6.
Beacon Antenna For vehicles that operate in regions of the mine where more than 30% of the view of the sky is obstructed, this distance between main and beacon QC1000 shall be increased to 15 meters. It is essential that both antennas are not obstructed by any part of the vehicle and have a 360° view of the horizon (except for terrain obfuscation). Limitation The center of rotation is assumed to be in the middle of the vehicle for the rotation prediction.
