Connect Power and Computer

The sensor units are commonly used in vehicle applications where standard 12 volt, 2 amp power is readily available.

1.Connect the interface module to power.

2.Connect the Ethernet connector to a standard PC or laptop RJ45 Ethernet port.

Operate

Before operating the sensor, make sure that:

•the sensor is in acceptable environmental conditions

•the sensor is securely mounted

Weather

The unit is weatherproofed to withstand wind, rain and other adverse weather conditions. The unit’s spinning motion helps it shed excess water from the front window that could hamper performance. Refer to the specifications page for operational and storage temperature ranges.

Shock and Vibration

Be sure the unit is mounted securely to withstand vibration and shock without risk of detachment. The unit does not need shock proofing. The unit is designed to withstand standard automotive G-forces; (500 m/sec2 amplitude, 11 msec duration shock and 3 Grms 5 Hz to 2000 Hz vibration).

Wiring

The HDL- 32E comes with an integral cable that is terminated at an interface box. The cable is approximately 3 meters (10’) in length. The interface box provides jacks for Ethernet, power and GPS.

Power. The 2.1 mm barrel plug jack fits the AC/DC power adapter included. The center pin is positive polarity.

note: The HDL- 32E does not have a power switch. It spins and operates whenever power is applied.

Ethernet. This standard Ethernet connector is designed to connect to a standard PC.

note: The HDL-32E is only compatible with network cards that have either MDI or AUTO MDIX capability.

GPS. The GPS connector fits the GPS receiver included. If you wish to wire your own GPS receiver, refer to the labeled connector within the interface box.

Cable. The cable is permanently attached at the sensor but the interface box may be removed for direct wiring and/or inserting in-line connector(s).
