1About The Leica iNEX
1.1 Product Description
The Leica iNEX is a GPS-based guidance system with the capability to
interface to a number of different 3rd party components such as GPS
receivers, rate controllers and steer controllers.
The Leica iNEX is a robust single body computer system manufactured
specifically for use in agriculture. It incorporates an intelligent power
system which protects the computer from abnormal input power often
found in agricultural vehicles.
When coupled with a Leica mojoRTK, the Leica iNEX extends the
capability of the mojoRTK to a large, full colour touch screen,
incorporating additional features including more guidance patterns,
automatic section shutoff and advanced data recording.
1.2 Precautions And Safety Measures
Review all safety information specific to your manufacturer and model
before installing or operating the iNEX.
Do not disassemble or alter the iNEX. Doing so may result in failure,
electric shock, or fire.
Do not subject the iNEX to high levels of moisture. Use the iNEX only
in vehicles with a 12-volt negative ground system.
Follow recommended safety precautions and operating procedures at
all times.
The operator assumes responsibility for the installation and use of the
product.

3System Installation
3.1 Before Installation
Installation does not require specialist knowledge. However, Leica
Geosystems recommends that installation of the iNEX equipment be
performed by a qualified technician, because installation requires
making electrical connections.
Leica Geosystems is not liable for any damage, faults or risks related to
installation or to the iNEX or your vehicle due to installation.
Leica Geosystems declines all responsibility for any incorrect
information in the iNEX Installation Manual.
The following instructions are to be used as a general guide during the
installation of the iNEX. For more specific instructions, please contact
your point of purchase.
Install the system in a clean and dry workshop environment. Failure to
do so may cause the system to short or promote product malfunction.
Route and secure all cables and wiring to ensure that they do not chafe
or rub, thus causing premature failure.
The average installation time will vary, but it should be approximately
three to four hours per vehicle. The installation time may be more or
less, depending on vehicle type.

iNEX Installation Manual Page 13 Rev 1
3.2 Installing The iNEX Display
1. Read all instructions before attempting installation.
2. Attach the RAM mount arm, and separate RAM mount ball to the
RAM mount on the iNEX Display.
3. Pick a suitable location to mount
the Display by holding it up in
place while checking for visibility
out of the vehicle. The Display
needs to be within easy reach of
the operator when seated in the
normal operating position, and
ideally it will be easily visible in
the forward vision of the
operator.
4. When a suitable location to
mount the Display has been selected, mark the position of where
the RAM mount ball is to be mounted on the vehicle.
Note: There are a number of different RAM mounts available, including clamp on
brackets, which may simplify the installation. RAM mount arms are also available in
a number of different lengths; please contact your point of purchase.
5. Secure the RAM mount ball to the vehicle in the required location.
Important: Use extreme caution whenever drilling holes or attaching
any objects to the vehicle as there may be hidden cables or hoses.
Never drill into the ROP system of any vehicle as this may damage
the integrity of the system. Consult the vehicle’s operating manual
prior to drilling any holes.
6. Attach the Display to the RAM mount ball using the RAM mount arm.
Once the Display is oriented in the correct direction, ensure the RAM
mount is tightly secured.

iNEX Installation Manual Page 14 Rev 1
3.3 Installing The Power Cable
The Power Cable should be connected to a clean 12-volt power system;
however the iNEX will operate between 9 and 16 volts DC and as such will
tolerate normal fluctuations found in a typical vehicle power system.
1. Connect the red wire to a 12-volt positive source.
2. Connect the black wire to the vehicle’s earth.
3. Route the cable into the cab where the iNEX Vehicle Cable will be
installed.
Note: The iNEX is a 12-volt DC (negative-to-earth) system only. Connecting to a
24-volt DC or a positive-to-earth system will cause damage which is not covered by
warranty.
Do not connect the power cable to only one battery of a 24-volt system as this
may cause damage to the vehicle's batteries and connected equipment.
There are a number of other power cable options available, including a
three wire power cable which can be connected to the vehicle ignition to
turn the iNEX on and off with the vehicle’s ignition key.
Also available are power cables terminated with common connections
found in agricultural vehicles, such as the universal three pin circular
connector and the John Deere power strip connector.
For more information on any of these cables, contact your point of
purchase.

iNEX Installation Manual Page 15 Rev 1
3.4 Installing The iNEX Vehicle Cable
1. Connect the Display connector on the vehicle cable to the iNEX
Display. The connectors may need to be twisted until the locating
tabs in the connectors align. Push the connectors firmly together
while twisting the locking ring.
2. After the power cable has been connected to a clean 12-volt source,
it can be connected to the Power input connector using the same
twisting action. When the power connection is made to the iNEX
Display, it will emit two short beeps to indicate it is powered.
3. If using serial NMEA GPS or a mojoRTK, connect the device to Port B
(yellow cable) on the vehicle cable, using the appropriate serial
cable.
4. If using a CANbus NMEA2000 GPS, connect the device to the CANbus
port (white cable).
5. Where required, connect any supported 3rd party rate controller to
Port A (blue cable), using the appropriate serial cable.
6. If using a GPSteer auto steer controller, then it should be connected
to Port A if not being used by a rate controller, and Port B if Port A
is used while Port B is free. Alternatively where both Port A & Port
B are used, a USB to Serial converter cable can be obtained from
your point of purchase.
Note: If you are unsure which cable should be used to connect another device,
contact your point of purchase.

iNEX Installation Manual Page 16 Rev 1
3.5 Connecting Remote Master
The iNEX is designed to sense 12-volts DC from a master switch, which
when configured will activate the treatment recording function on the
iNEX.
It is recommended that the Remote Master is connected to an existing
master switch in the vehicle, however there are many options including
12-volts DC from a master valve, an implement switch or a separate
toggle switch.
1. Connect a wire to the 12-volt positive on/off source, such as an
existing master switch.
2. Connect the other end of the wire to the Remote Master (brown
cable) on the iNEX Vehicle Cable.
3. Consult the iNEX user manual for instruction on configuring the
system to use the Remote Master as the master source.
Note: The iNEX will detect 12-volt positive as the master being on and no power as
the master being off.
3.6 Connecting Remote Input
The Remote Input can be connected to a momentary push-button switch
which can then remotely trigger a user defined function on the iNEX, such
as engage/disengage auto steering.
1. Connect 12-volts to one side of a momentary push-button switch.
2. Connect a wire from the other side of the momentary push-button
switch to the Remote Input (white cable) on the iNEX Vehicle Cable.
3. Consult the iNEX user manual for instruction on configuring the
Remote Button function to be triggered by the Remote Input.
Note: The 12-volts DC supplied to the Remote Master and the Remote Input MUST
be on the same 12-volt DC circuit to which the iNEX is connected.

iNEX Installation Manual Page 17 Rev 1
3.7 Connecting The Optional AS310
The AS310 is required for some installations where automatic section
shut-off is being used. The AS310 converts signals from the iNEX to
output signals which can then be connected to 3rd party rate controllers
and other section control equipment.
1. Mount the AS310 in a suitable out of the
way location.
2. Connect Port C on the iNEX Vehicle Cable
to the Data Port on the AS310. The
connectors may need to be twisted until
the locating tabs in the connectors align.
Push the connectors firmly together
while twisting the locking ring.
3. Connect the required automatic section
control cable to the voltage port on the AS310, using the same
twisting action.
