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.

3.2 The Collision Avoidance Principle
The Hexagon collision avoidance device is equipped with a GNSS receiver, additional sensors and transmitter, among which an RF transceiver. The GNSS receiver will provide the unit with a position, speed and heading. This information is continuously broadcasted over the air thanks to the RF transmitter/ receiver.
A vehicle will receive the information from all the surrounding vehicles while transmitting its own information. Based on this information, sophisticated algorithms will determine a collision risk level and indicate it to the operator of the vehicle via the display. At the same time, other vehicles - which do not pose an immediate collision risk - are shown on the display for the purpose of traffic awareness around the vehicle and to allow the operator to avoid risky situation well ahead.
As every vehicle has different dynamics and every mine has different rules, HxGN MineProtect CAS 10 provides a list of features and configuration possibilities which can custom tailored to the needs of our customers.
3.3 Technology used
The Hexagon MineProtect CAS 10 system consists of a Smart Antenna (QC1000) located on the outer side the vehicle, an operator's interface (Display). The Smart Antenna contains all main sensors (GNSS engine, radio transceiver, micro-controller, memory, data interfaces and a series of sensors and other transmitters including networking capabilities such as Wi-Fi/LTE).
The QD1400 is an LCD Display providing the operator with a top view of the traffic situation as well as visual and acoustical warnings (sound patterns over loudspeakers) and other operational

8

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. Additional sensors and logic further enhance the accuracy of position measurements. The predicted driving path of the vehicle, in which the CAS 10 system is installed, is calculated and the obtained information is transmitted by radio as a lowpower digital burst signal at frequent intervals. Provided they are within receiving range, these signals are received by other vehicles also equipped with CAS 10 or legacy CAS components. The incoming signal is compared with the driving path calculated and predicted for the second vehicle, taking into account configuration parameters like maximum acceleration or vehicle dimension.
If the CAS 10 system determines the risk of dangerous proximity to another vehicle (or to an obstacle equipped with the system), the unit gives the operator a warning of the greatest danger at that moment.
The operating range is very dependent upon the antenna installation in or outside the vehicle. The normal range is about 500m for standard operations, but up to 2 km may be achieved in individual cases. For their radio communication, CAS 10 system use a proprietary patent- and copyright-protected protocol.
3.4 Limitations of the System
CAS 10 system is not designed for use
� in deep or narrow open pit mines where availability of GNSS satellites is not sufficient � in any other application than open pit mining � on vehicles with excessive vibration
3.5 Legal Statement and Disclaimer
For their radio communication, CAS 10 system use a proprietary patent- and copyright-protected protocol. Any non-licensed use, dissemination, copying, implementation or reverse engineering of the CAS radio communication protocol, their hardware and software or parts of it is forbidden by law and will be prosecuted.
CAS 10 units are only to be used with other CAS 10 units in fleet and it is "over-the-air"compatible with CAS 4.x units. Otherwise inconsistent function may occur. Hexagon cannot assume any liability from correct or incorrect use of above specified products other than regular warranty according to Hexagon General Terms and Condition.

The maximum voltages indicated must be met at all times or irreversible damage to the equipment might be the result.
Due to the multi-purpose nature of the GPIO, it's not possible to galvanically isolate them. If galvanic isolation is required install a protection relay in the signal path.
Important Considerations
Furthermore, always connect inputs/outputs to non-sensible systems. Since QC1000 is permanently powered, it must be made sure it can never feed current into a potentially dangerous subsystem even if the connection of either one of the power supply lines (either Vbatt+ or Vbatt-) are lost.

5.14.1 Example Installation Reverse Switch
Always connect the reverse gear sense line to the switch side, which connects to the buzzer or the strobe for reversing. Never connect on the relay coil side or on a driving output!
It is compulsory to mount protection relays when the inner workings of signal sources are not completely understood or the receiving subsystem might act unexpectedly.

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.
5.15 Power Save Mode
The system is designed such that it won't drain vehicle battery to the point where vehicle wouldn't start anymore.
Also, a low power mode kicks in when a vehicle is detected to be in stand-still for more than 10 minutes by its GNSS location and vehicle motor is detected to be off.
5.16 Installation of QC1000
5.16.1 Installation of QC1000 with bracket
Hexagon recommends the installation of QC1000 on a bracket for all permanent installation for its superior stability even in heavy vibration.
QC1000 has 3 thread insert for M8 screws to be fixed on a corresponding hole pattern of a bracket.

6 Displays
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)
6.1 QD1400 HxGN MineDiscover Display 5
Display 5 features a high-resolution LCD Display with Touch Functionality with high volume speakers for use in heavy machinery (adjustable) and automatic brightness adjustment for day and night operation as well as a fingerprint sensor.

6.2 QD200 Remote Display

The QD200 Remote Display offers the following attributes:
� Indication of surrounding vehicles through 12 dual color LEDs (red/green) in a circle � Status Indication through 4 dual color LEDs (red/green): Power, GPS, Reverse and Mode � Multifunction push-button � Piezoelectric buzzer � Ambient light sensor
The maximum length of the display cable is 15m. This can be achieved be connecting several display extension cables together.

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. The LED on in the 12 o'clock position indicates the presence of a vehicle in front. Several colors and sounds indicate different threat levels. Depending on the distance to other vehicles and on the configuration parameters an alarm might be audible. The center compass displays direction and distance of vehicles within the RF transmitter / receiver range but it also serves to display error codes in the case a system failure was detected.
The LEDs on the left side of the display show the status of the system. They indicate if the device has enough power, has acceptable GNSS reception or is traveling backwards as well as other information about the system.
Depending on the configuration, pushing the square button on the right of the display can trigger three functions:
1. Flag special events in the unit's log-file: for example an incident or a situation where the user believes the system didn't perform as expected.
2. Acknowledge an alarm: The operator can stop the warning sound for example when being towed by another vehicle.
3. Pressing the button for 3 seconds or longer seconds will restart the QC1000 Smart Antenna.
All alarms are indicated during a minimum of 1.5 seconds to allow the operator to see and react to it. The alarm will stop once the threat is gone or if one of the two vehicles stops.
6.3 Installation of Displays
� The display should be positioned such that the front panel is in direct view of the Operator, the acoustic warning tone can be heard loud and clearly and control button/touch display can be operated easily.
� The view on the front panel may not be obstructed at any time. � The display may never interfere with the operation of the vehicle (incl. emergency
procedures) � Special attention is required to not reduce the operator's field of view.

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.

M8 Mounting Hole

� The remote display is light enough to be fixed with

3M dual lock. This is ideal for installations where the

owner of the vehicle does not permit to drill holes in

the dashboard.

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. When certified, installation and operation must be done according to certification procedures in order to comply with official regulations and requirements.

Never connect Hexagon equipment to critical vehicle signal lines without prior consultation and approval of the vehicle manufacturer and Hexagon's approval.

Connecting the reverse signal to the CAS unit is compulsory in all vehicles that provide such signal. But rather than connecting to critical signal lines use the connection to noncritical signals such as reverse light, reverse buzzer and similar.

After installation, an appropriate entry should be made in the vehicle's technical logs including QC1000 serial number and the installed firmware version. A check should be performed in order
reinsure the installation's quality and its accordance with the requirements. Special focus has to be given that the mechanical or electrical performance of other vehicle's systems (e.g. radio) is not influenced by the CAS system.

Hexagon highly recommends establishing a "Radio Map", containing all intentional transmitters present on the mine and their respective operating frequencies. This map will help identifying
potential collisions between frequency ranges and avoid radio interference.

7.1.1 Installation
� The selected installation spot must be dry and reasonably free from dust. � Install all components so that it does not interfere with any of the vehicles operations. � A good installation spot provides enough space for the cables and their connectors. � The mount surface should be flat in order to avoid mechanical stresses on the housing of
the QC1000 � The power cable needs to be connected directly to the battery contacts, bypassing the
ignition and the isolation switch. This is to ensure the CAS system keeps working even when the vehicle is switched off or being serviced. � Fuses is required in the power connection for both power and ground according to system diagrams. � Do not bend any cable further than its minimum bending radius. � Cables need to be long enough to avoid tension. If the installed cable is under tension, relocate the units or reroute the cable. If neither is possible replace the cable by a longer one or use extension cables. � Install the cables in a way (cable ties) allowing easy service and removal. Do not route them over or under access doors or removable plates

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. If the vehicles transit on the right side of the road than the left corner is most appropriate and vice versa. The pictures below show different configurations for pole sizes and positions.

The QC1000 positions in the above drawings are to be avoided:

� 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.
� THE FOURTH PICTURE ON THE RIGHT EXTREME SHOWS THE ANTENNA'S RECOMMENDED IDEAL POSITION.

Antenna position with regard to the vehicle body in the top views:
� THE LEFT PICTURE SHOWS HOW THE CANOPY SHIELDS A CONSIDERABLE PART OF THE GPS AND RF.
� THIS IS WHY THE RIGHT PICTURE IS HEXAGON'S RECOMMENDED POSITION.
7.5 Tracked Vehicles
On tracked vehicles, the antenna must be mounted as close as possible to the axis of rotation. For better accuracy, especially to sense a turning maneuver on the spot without losing heading, is to apply the two-antenna configuration.

� Hexagon AB

Commercial in Confidence

29

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.
7.6.1 Rotating Vehicle with Single Antenna
For tracked vehicles and other vehicles where the orientation of the driver may differ from the direction of travel the heading information will be discarded once the vehicle enters standstill (typically after 10 seconds).
Vehicles with unknown heading (e.g. non-moving, tracked, rotating vehicles) are calculated as circular objects. No threat headings will be displayed to the operator of such vehicles
A typical example of unknown heading vehicle where a second antenna can't be installed is a small dozer. For such vehicles the reverse gear must be connected to Hexagon device. This will significantly improve the heading accuracy.
7.6.2 Rotating Vehicle with Dual Antenna (Beacon)
7.6.2.1 System Diagram

The QC1000 should be installed in the corner of the vehicle, the second QC1000, referred to as a beacon antenna, should be installed in the opposite corner.
It is necessary to have both antennas as far away as possible but at a minimum of 5 meters.

30

Commercial in Confidence

� Hexagon AB

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. If there is a significant difference between the true axis of rotation and the center a slight positional error will result.
7.7 Pre-Configuration
After mechanical installation and correct cabling, QC1000 must be pre-configured to connect to the MPData Server. Once this pre-configuration is correctly done, QC1000 can be updated remotely via the server and network.
7.8 Installation Verification
After installation, perform installation verification procedure as per below:
