NOTE The LXN 500 is a reliable product when installed correctly. However, performance can be seriously impaired if it is not installed correctly. Thoughtful planning can make the difference. Product to be installed by a service person.
Vehicle Installation Configuration Options of Antenna Installation The LXN 500 can be installed inside a vehicle trunk using one of the two antenna configuration options. Dome Antenna Configuration Fixed-mounted 4 ports antenna for use in public safety vehicular applications. The antenna requires a hole in the car roof.
Each antenna is provided with three short, flexible 12-ft coaxial cables (threads) coming out of the antenna bottom side. In one antenna, the cables are connected to the LTE1 and GPS ports of the LXN 500. In the second antenna, the cables are connected to the LTE2 and WIFI ports of the LXN 500.
• Place the LXN 500 so that it can be easily removed for servicing. • Do not mount the LXN 500 system units and route cables where they can be kicked by the driver’s • or other passenger’s feet. Verify that the mounting surface is able to support the weight of the units.
Be sure that the vehicle’s electrical system is in good condition. Faults in the alternator and ignition system can be a source of severe Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and can result in LXN 500 system operating problems. Correct any problems in the alternator output, ignition system, and battery condition before beginning the installation.
10AWG ground wire to connect between the body of the LXN 500 and other units. The ground wire ring lugs must be connected, on one side, to one of the screw holes used to secure the LXN 500 to the mounting bracket and on the other side to the vehicle chassis.
In the event of a drop in DC Voltage due to engine cranking or total power interruption, the battery maintains power to LXN 500 for a limited period of time. This is essential for preventing brutal shut-down, and memory or data loss.
3-4). The mounting brackets of the LXN 500 enable to mount the LXN 500 on a flat horizontal or vertical surface. The unit is usually installed inside a trunk of a vehicle, or on tray or any fixed mounting board (See Figure 3-7).
LXN 500 Installed Inside a Trunk of a Vehicle Figure 3-7 To install the LXN 500: Connect the four brackets to the LXN 500 using the provided 4mm Allen screws. Torque the screws to 60.7 inch-pounds (70 kg-cm). Ground the LXN 500 to the vehicle chassis (See Ground Polarity on page 52).
Mounting Guidelines Installation guidelines for antennas: Use only antennas supplied with the LXN 500. Use the installation instructions provided with the antenna by manufacturer/supplier. If possible, the antenna location must not be obstructed by any structure or object. When installing antennas on a vehicle roof, ensure that antennas are installed at least 8”...
Checking the configuration: This step requires you to have all relevant system information with you to ensure that the LXN 500 is configured correctly. If your LXN 500 is configured as stated in this guide, then you may have to verify that your configuration information is correct.
