"Let's Make It Visible"
Remove RoadCart from case
General Assembly: Step 1
Mount high-frequency antenna in bracket
"Let's Make It Visible"
General Assembly: Step 2
Adjust the high-frequency antenna to desired height and position
Note: Make sure antenna is set at a horizontal position and slightly higher
than the protective plateAdjustments for protective plate and antenna
"Let's Make It Visible"
General Assembly: Encoder Option
Note: If only using the high-frequency
antenna, the encoder from the RoadCart can be plugged directly into the antenna
using the encoder adapter
"Let's Make It Visible"
General Assembly: Step 3
Attach encoder on the RoadCart to the back of the shielded electronics
Mount low-frequency antenna into bracket
Note: Using the straps, make sure the antenna is
adjusted to the correct height and is horizontal
"Let's Make It Visible"
General Assembly: Step 4
Attach the power extension cable to the shielded electronics
Attach the other end of the extension cable to the power adapter, attach the 12V power cable to adapter
and then onto battery using the “alligator” clipsNote: The standard accompanying battery can be
attached to the extension cable instead as well
"Let's Make It Visible"
General Assembly: Step 5
Align and connect the high-frequency antenna to the ProEx Control Unit
"Let's Make It Visible"
General Assembly: Step 6
Attach the “D”, “R” and “T” connectors into the proper optic. Connect encoder into the ProEx.
Note: Attach the clip to the ProEx to ensure fiber
optics cannot be pulled out
"Let's Make It Visible"
General Assembly: Step 7
Plug 12 V power cable directly into ProEx and then onto battery using the “alligator” clips
(or use the accompanying battery)
"Let's Make It Visible"
General Assembly: Step 8
Plug in Ethernet cable into ProEx and then into
your laptop computer Power Button for ProEx Control Unit
