DAI - Installation - Model6381/F Installation Manual

Notes
Please follow all instructions carefully when installing this module
​
Installation
Determine Mounting Angle
The Stability Sensor must be mounted with the arrow pointing down towards the ground.

The Stability Sensor is mounted using four M6 x 12 bolts.

Wiring Connections
A loom connects the Model6381F to a power source and the cutouts.

The table below lists the wire pin outs for the connection cable.

Operation
The Stability Sensor has 3 operating modes; Normal, Warning and Alarm.
Normal Mode
The Stability Sensor is in normal mode when the angle is below the warning threshold, relative to the reference angle. The buzzer does not sound in this mode. Both the Alarm & Warning outputs are producing a VCC signal. The vehicle is in a safe condition and can be operated as normal.
Warning Mode
In this mode the angle is above the warning threshold, but below the alarm threshold. The buzzer produces an intermittent tone. The frequency of the tone increases as the angle approaches the alarm threshold. The Warning output is open/floating and Alarm output is producing a VCC signal. This indicates the vehicle is approaching a dangerous angle and needs to be corrected.
Alarm Mode
In this mode the angle has passed the alarm threshold. The buzzer produces a solid tone. Both the Warning & Alarm outputs are open/floating. The vehicle is beyond a dangerous angle and must be immediately corrected. Pre Operation Checks after power on, the buzzer will produce a beep, even though it is below the warning/alarm threshold. This is normal and indicates that the Stability Sensor is active and has completed its self test.

Calibration
In order to perform administrative tasks such as calibration and monitoring the real time inclinometer data, the unit provides a wifi access point to a web interface that can be accessed via the web browser on your phone or laptop. The SSID of the wifi access point is: model6381_prototype

The password is: aaaabbbbcccc (4 a's, 4 b's, 4 c's) Open an internet brower (chrome or firefox for example) and type this URL into the address bar: 192.168.4.1

You should see the following page: 

Tap “Calibration” to open the calibration page.

To perform a calibration, first ensure that the EWP chassis is parked such that it is level in both axes, as this calibration procedure will zero the pitch and roll internal inclinometers. When this is done, tap “Calibrate Chassis Angle”. The chassis pitch and roll should both then read 0. The warning mode occurs between 5 degrees and 7 degrees. The alarm mode occurs for any angle above 7 degrees. Clicking on “Edit Settings” will open a page that will allow the modification of these parameters.

Settings
Clicking on “Edit Settings” in the calibration page will open the settings page. The warning and limit angles may be modified along with other parameters. 
After changing a parameter on this page, click its corresponding “Set” button to save this setting

Warning
If the unit is mounted at an angle that is off by more than 60 degrees from the direction of the arrow on either axes the stability sensor will not function correctly.
Warning
When replacing the cover ensure nothing obstructs the seal (such as the buzzer wires) and securely fasten the bolts to the base of the enclosure. Failure to do so will compromise the seal, allowing moisture ingression that will damage the unit.
