Mounting Equipment Quick Guide
Antenna Mounting & Positioning
Choosing the Mounting Location
- The antenna should be installed and located on the underside of the dashboard on a plastic panel, we recommend underneath the dashboard as high as possible pointing towards the “sky”, but non- visible to driver (concealed); and
- When selecting a location, ensure that both the antenna and its cables are NOT;
- on any removable panel or trim;
- on, inside or close to, any metal structure;
- close to, speakers or speaker cables, airbags or airbag wiring, any ECU within the vehicle, general vehicle cable looms, any sources of electrical “noise” or other GSM / GPS antennas or equipment; or
- in any location where the cables could be “pinched” by any trim, doors, etc.
Mounting the Antenna
- Note which side of the antenna has letters GPS as the antenna must be positioned with this side facing towards the “sky”
- Apply the adhesive pad to the antenna, ensuring it is on the opposite side to the letters GPS
- Then remove the backing from the other side of the adhesive pad, firmly press the antenna onto the selected surface;
- Secure any loose cable as required.
Notes:
- Full adhesion may take 24 hours
- Clean the chosen fixing surface and the antenna with its supplied surface cleaner and allow to dry completely, ensuring that the mounting surface and antenna are free of (a) moisture (especially in cold and wet conditions), (b) oil/grease, or other similar contaminants that might affect adhesion
- Antenna misplacement may result in the unit malfunctioning and will be regarded as an incorrect installation which will ensue a charge to remedy
- All waste accumulated following the completed install is to be disposed of in accordance with waste disposal regulations (WEEE)
Completing Installation
1. Secure the unit’s cable connector(Molex) to the unit using a large cable tie. Please push molex connector until it clicks and is secure.
2. Tie the cable tie around the unit from top to bottom ensuring that the cable tie isinserted between the cables over the connector(Fig 11).
3. Secure the unit in a safe and suitable position using the adhesive pad and large cable tie. It is expected that the second cable tie is used to secure against a solid surface (Fig 12).
4. It is notsufficient to only use the sticky pads provided. In addition to using the sticky pads and cable ties provided, ensure the unitis adequately secured to a rigid structure within the vehicle and will notrattle, come loose, cause damage to the vehicle, orin any way affectthe driver’s use of the vehicle. Furthermore, ensure that it is not affixed to any removable panels,trim, metalstructures, speakers orspeaker cables, airbags or airbag wiring, general cable looms or any of the ECU’s within the vehicle.
Unit misplacement will result in unit malfunction and will be regarded as an incorrect installation, charges may apply to rectify
5. Tidy any loose cables and fit as necessary.
6. Complete the Commissioning Installation Instructions and provide as instructed in section 8.1.
Failure to secure cables and unit with cable ties will result in incorrect installation
