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 Core equipment be performed by a qualified technician.
The average installation time varies, the time of installation will be dependent on vehicle type and options purchased
For Core module safety and installation instructions refer to the HxGN Mine Discover Core Installation Manual.
WARNING All Hexagon Mining Equipment must be installed by qualified installation personnel.
CAUTION: During any welding on the machine, the Core 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 Core module or its antenna. The Core 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 Core Module Installation
WARNINGS: Do not mount the Core where it may obscure the driver’s view of the road or field. Do not mount the Core where it may be struck by a deploying airbag.
For Core module safety and installation instructions refer to the HxGN Mine Discover Core Installation Manual.
3.2.1 Power Cable Installation
For Core module safety and installation instructions refer to the HxGN Mine Discover Core Installation Manual.
WARNING Always ensure the power supply cable is connected at the power supply source through a fuse rated no higher than 4A. Failure to do so may result in damage to the equipment and/or fire.
CAUTION The Core unit is a 12-volt or 24-volt DC (negative-to-earth) system only. Connecting to a positive-to-earth system will cause damage, which is not covered by warranty.
1. Connect the supplied power cable to a reliable power source, for example, the vehicle’s main power system:
a. Connect the red wire to a 12-volt or 24-volt positive, 4A fused power source, capable
of delivering a constant 4 A.
b. Connect the black wire to the vehicle’s earth.
2. Route and secure all cables and wiring to meet Hexagon Mining requirements and ensure
that there is no rubbing, which can cause premature failure.
3. Connect the power cable to the power connector on the front of the Core.

4. Cables must be routed neatly back to the Core.
Page 23
© Leica Geosystems Commercial in Confidence 17
3.3.3 Wi-Fi Antenna Installation
WARNING Antennas must be mounted more than 30 cm away from the human body.
CAUTION Wi-Fi antennas must be mounted more than 20 cm away from any other bandwidth or application’s antenna.
Note
Wi-Fi connectivity is dependent on network infrastructure which is outside the scope of this Core manual.
Core module communication is transmitted using two Wi-Fi antennas.
1. Route the cables through the existing grommets if possible; if not, modification may be required to route the cables to the required location. If creating a new entry point, use a grommet to protect the cables.
2. The cables must not be cut, kinked, or bent tightly, as performance degrades, and a system
failure may result.
3. Cables must be routed neatly back to the Core module.
4. Wi-Fi antennas must be positioned for maximum coverage (ideally at the highest points of
the vehicle, if this is not possible, on either side of a vehicle) to maximize reception:
⚫ On large vehicles Wi-Fi antennas must be on either side of the vehicle to increase
coverage and visibility to local access points
⚫ On small vehicles with the antennas mounted on top of the vehicle to resolve coverage
issues, placement of the antennas 1/2 or 1 wavelength apart (approximately 12.5cm) can improve signal received strength and minimize the effect of multi-path interference.
3.3.4 External RTK Correction Antenna (CoreHP-WWU only)
For CoreHP, RTK corrections are required. These can be delivered over Wi-Fi or alternatively through an internal or external RTK radio.
⚫ An external RTK radio can be connected using an external communications port; for
