Safety Instructions
The Eaton LifeSense system utilizes unique hose and
fittings (U.S. Patent No. 7,555,936 and 8,183,872). Only the
specified LifeSense hose and fittings can be used in this
system. DO NOT use other Eaton hose and hose fittings
(e.g., Aeroquip, Weatherhead, or SEL), or hose and hose
fittings supplied by another manufacturer with this system.
Eaton hereby disclaims any obligation or liability (including
incidental and consequential damages) arising from breach
of contract, warranty, or tort (under negligence of strict
liability theories) should other Eaton hose and hose fittings,
or hose and hose fittings supplied by another manufacturer
be used interchangeably with this system, or in the event
that production, assembly, or installation instructions for
each specified component of Eaton LifeSense are not
followed.
WARNING Failure to follow process and product
instructions and limitations could lead to premature hose
assembly failures, resulting in property damage, serious
injury or death.
WARNING Eaton LifeSense is designed to provide
advance warning of impending failures due to fatigue and
external abrasion. Eaton LifeSense is not designed to
provide advance warning of impending failure for every
failure mode. For example, failures due to an improper
crimp profile or improper installation of the terminal end to
the application will not be alerted by LifeSense.
WARNING Verify that the specified equipment is
depressurized before installing a hose assembly.
PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED OPERATION. Do not permit
anyone to operate the LifeSense system unless they
have been properly trained and have read and thoroughly
understand this manual.
PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED SALES, ASSEMBLY,
INSTALLATION AND SERVICE. Do not permit anyone to
sell, assemble, install or service LifeSense hose assemblies
and system unless they have been properly trained.
WARNING WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
1. Install the hose assembly into the application utilizing
standard hose routing practices.
2. All wiring terminals should be properly insulated to prevent
short circuits. All terminals should be of insulation grip
design to provide a reliable connection and to prevent
terminal fatigue.
3. Terminals that are connected where moisture may be
present should be of a moisture resistant design. Molded
insulators for ring terminals should be used. Molded
connectors/ insulators are recommended for use with
blade or pin type terminals.
4. The wireless gateway/hose diagnostic unit (HDU) shall
be mounted in a location that is easily viewable by the
equipment operator.
5. Never add another circuit or splice to the LifeSense power
cable.
6. Never puncture power cable insulation with a probe to
verify voltage.
7. Exposed ring terminals for the power supply circuit should
be protected from the environment. Dielectric grease is
recommended to prevent corrosion.

Step 3: Disconnect Existing Hose Assembly
Using the appropriate size wrench disconnect existing hose
assembly from equipment.
Step 4: Hose Assembly
LifeSense Kit(s) Purchased from Eaton: LifeSense kits
supplied by Eaton include complete hose assemblies with the
protective sleeve and sensor installed.
Certified LifeSense Distributors: Only certified LifeSense
Distributors are authorized to make LifeSense hose
assemblies. For detailed LifeSense hose assembly
instructions refer to the LifeSense Assembly, Installation and
Service Manual (E-HOOV-TI001-E2).
Step 5: Install LifeSense Hose Assembly
Note: Utilize standard hose routing and plumbing practices.
Starting at one end of the LifeSense hose assembly attach
hose to equipment. Torque terminal end nut to the required
torque specifications.
Refer to Eaton Aeroquip or Weatherhead master catalogs for
proper torque specifications by terminal type and size.
Step 6: Configure Wireless Gateway/Hose Diagnostic Unit
(HDU)
Proceed to page six (6) of this guide for instructions on how
to configure the wireless gateway (HDU) to the network on
which it will communicate.
After successful configuration proceed to step seven (7)
below.
Step 7: Install Wireless Gateway/Hose Diagnostic Unit
(HDU)
Mount the wireless gateway (HDU) in a location that is easily
visible to the equipment operator using adhesive Velcro strips
or mounting screws.
WARNING: The wireless gateway (HDU) must be installed
inside a vehicle cab or other protective area that shields it
from the effects of an external environment.
Step 8: Connect Antennas to Wireless Gateway (HDU)
Thread the WIFI and sensor antennas onto the respectively
labeled brass antenna adapters found on the wireless
gateway (HDU).
Step 9: Connect Wireless Gateway (HDU) to Power Source
WARNING: The power cable must be connected to a 12- or
24-volt DC power source. Before proceeding ensure the
power source is turned off. Connecting to a power source
should only be performed by someone with knowledge and
training in electrical systems and principles.
Connect the power cable to a 12- or 24-volt DC power source.
Turn power supply back on to the equipment following the
equipment owner's manual instructions.
Step 10: Wireless Gateway (HDU) Cycle Check
The power light on the diagnostic unit will illuminate
green when power is supplied to the unit. The unit takes
approximately one (1) minute to start up.
Step 11: Re-pressurize the hydraulic system.
For system pressurizing instructions please refer to the
equipment owner's manual for specific instructions.
