OverWatch - Installation - Sinoboom E Series (OLD Pre 2021 Harness) - Installation Instructions

Notes
This Tech Doc was written to help customers with very old Sinoboom  E Series Installations
Alert
The latest version of the Sinoboom E Series kit utilises a daughter board with spring loaded contacts that connect to the LGMG control board. As we no longer publish or maintain an installation manual for this version kit, it is being published as a Tech Doc here for those customers that still have this old kit version in service.
Warning
Please note that the Software Version 9 update is not compatible with the Pre 2021 harness in this old kit. You will need to update your harness in order to update your software.

The EQSS Overwatch harness PN: AS002212 is required to update your Overwatch software to Version 9


Operator Sensor
Installation Steps:
1. Drill two holes in the location shown in the diagram below, to mount the operator sensor.
2. Distances are from the vertical and horizontal edge of the metal cover.
Sensor must be mounted at 45 degrees from vertical line


3. Mount the module in the located position using the supplied positioning wedges, sensor guard, M4 washers, nuts and bolts.
4. Ensure that the 7 degrees wedge is used to face the sensor outward.

5. Install the Operator Sensor cable gland in the location shown by drilling a 20mm hole

6. Route the operator sensor cable (as shown in the diagram below).

7. Wiring connections are made by the Overwatch Harness

8. Disconnect the 14-Pin connector from the joystick.
9. Install the Overwatch Harness in series with the connectors in the image.
10. One side of the T-Piece is connected to the joystick 14-Pin Connector and the other to side to the 14-Pin connector on the control board.


11. Install the Red wire from the Overwatch ECU harness to the E-stop terminal 1.


12. Remove the buzzer and the E-Stop button to have better access to the main circuit board.


13. Identify the pin locations on the circuit board (shown in the image below).  
   
Detailed instructions on soldering locations will be displayed in the following steps.

14. Solder the Overwatch ECU harness Purple wire, to the pin behind the Drive Select button (shown in the image below).

15. Solder the White wires that come from the supplied relay, to the circuit board locations (shown in the image below).
16. After soldering all Overwatch wires onto the Sinoboom circuit board, use a hot-glue gun to cover the exposed solder on the appropriate solder joints. If done right, the hot glue will add a bit of physical support to the the wire.

3. Select the EWP Model from the drop-down list and click Set
4. Click on Proceed to Test to begin the installation test


Installation Test
The installation test enables a configuration to be set and then validates the signals from the relevant control lines.
Therefore, after the model configuration has been set (or updated), an Installation Test must be performed. This will ensure the installation has been correctly performed, and the Overwatch is functioning correctly. 

Follow the instructions on the web page to complete the Installation Test.
​

Change Model Configuration
To reconfigure the Overwatch for a different model requires an authorisation password. The authorisation password is generated from a web page on the EQSS website (link below).

Go to the Reconfiguration page and follow the instructions to create an authorisation password.
