Qube 2.5 | Installation Manual
4 Installing the Qube 2.5 in a Vehicle
4.1 Location and Mounting
Install the Qube 2.5:
•
Under the driver or passenger's seat
•
In or under the dash
•
In the boot / truck area
The chosen location should:
•
Allow for later connection of the MDT or M-Nav
•
Be dry
•
Not have excessive vibration
•
Not be excessively hot
•
Allow the antennas and cabling to easily connect to the Qube 2.5
•
Allow the diagnostics LED's to be seen
•
Allow suffi cient clearance to plug and unplug while mounted
Mount the unit using the supplied self-tapping screws and washers, placed through the slots in
the side rails. The side mounting rails are supplied fi tted to the Qube 2.5 ready for installation.
If a different mounting format is required, the mounting rails may be turned over or removed
completely. This requires one end cap to be removed, and the rails slid out to change their
orientation.
Connect the antenna cables to the correct connector. Both the Cellular connector (FME) and the
GPS (SMA) are screw on connectors, which should be hand tightened only. Connect the DB25
connector to the socket and hand tighten the two locking screws.
Ensure all cables are secured out of the way, so they will not be damaged, walked on, or have
other articles placed on them.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
•
Before you begin, ensure that drilling will not damage the vehicle's structure, wiring or
equipment
•
Ensure the Qube 2.5 cables, mounting screws etc will pose no hazard to the occupants
of the vehicle
