Install Obstacle Detection
Before installation, ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface.
When facing the front of the tractor, mount the IR Illumination Unit on the left side, and the 3D Sensor on the right side.
Step 1
Attach the sensors to the IFM Support Plate:
- Locate the IR Illumination Unit and one U-Shaped Bracket.
- Attach the U-Shaped Bracket to the IFM Support Plate with 4x M5 Hex Head Screw - 16mm and 4x Split Lock Washer for M5 Screw to the left side of the IFM and Oak camera Plate.
- Attach the IR Illumination Unit to the U-Shaped Bracket with the M6 x 100 mm socket cap screws and locking nuts.
- Repeat substeps 1-3 with the 3D Sensor on the right side of the IFM and Oak camera Plate.
Step 2
Install the Front OAK Camera bracketry, and the front OAK camera
Step 3
- Install the left and right corner bracket on to the front cross tube
- Connect the OAK and IFM camera assembly made in Steps 1 & 2 to the front cross tube
Step 4
Mount the assembly made in Step 3 to the top of the front of the cab.
Step 5
Plug the MCI Connection Patch Cord into both of the sensors, The port is circled below.
Step 6
Attaching the obstacle detection harness to each camera:
Important: Plugging the obstacle detection harness into the wrong connectors will cause immediate damage to the cameras. The 15 amp fuse in the switch box harness may blow if the cameras are hooked up backwards and get powered on.
- Plug the m12 black connector on the obstacle detection harness into back of the IR Illumination Unit.
- Plug the m12 orange connector obstacle detection harness into the bottom of the 3D Sensor.
Step 7
Plug the Obstacle Detection camera harness 6-pin connector into the BFE wiring harness splitter.
Step 8
Attach the M12 ethernet cable to the front OAK camera.
Step 9
Adjusting your sensor angle:
Due to bracket tolerances, tire size, and other environmental factors it is highly un-advisable to use the degree increments provided on the U-Bracket as those measurements are most likely not accurate.
After tightening down your sensor, double check the angle, as the tightening sequence can tweak the angle.
- With your vehicle on a flat surface, zero out a digital angle finder to that flat surface
- Adjust the 3D sensor until it is angled down at 13 degrees. Ensure your angle finder is on the back side of the sensor on the fins to ensure an accurate measurement.
- Tighten down the 3D Sensor, and ensure your angle has not changed.
4. With your vehicle on a flat surface, zero out a digital angle finder to that flat surface
5. Adjust the IR illumination until it is angled down at 13 degrees. Ensure your angle finder is on the back side of the sensor to ensure an accurate measurement.
6. Tighten down the IR illumination unit, and ensure your angle has not changed.
Measuring the angle on the front of the sensor will provide inaccurate measurements
The center of the sensor has a ridge, placing your angle finder on this ridge will produce inaccurate measurements
