I nstallation
The basic installation procedure is as follows:
1. Decide where you are going to install the satellite terminal.
2. Determine the cable length required for the power installation.
3. Install the satellite SIM card.
4. Permanently install using the provided mounting kit or install three magnetic
mounts for vehicle roof mounting (optional).
5. Connect the power and data cables to the terminal.
6. Connect the terminal to the user equipment.
1. Whenever routing cable through holes drilled in metal or through bulkheads,
use grommets and RTV sealant to weatherproof all holes drilled on the
outside of the vehicle.
2. Use cable ties every 300–450 mm
3. The main power line must be connected to a fused 12 VDC power source. A
10 A fuse is required in the source to protect against shorts in the cabling. If
connecting to a circuit in the fuse box that is already in use, ensure that the
circuit can supply the unit with at least 6 A.
4. Route and connect the white ignition sense wire to a switched 12 VDC source.
5. Always provision internal wiring with a drip loop.
When permanently installing the terminal on vehicles, some important guidelines
must be followed to ensure long and trouble-free operation.
1. Always install the terminal so that it is in a horizontal position, even if the
surface on which it is installed (e.g. the roof of a vehicle) is not horizontal.
The antenna has drainage holes at the bottom.
2. Always install the terminal so that the clearance between the drainage holes
at the bottom of the antenna and the mounting surface is no less than 5 mm
and preferably 10 mm.
The hole pattern needed to permanently mount the terminal is shown in
Figure 8
(see installation guidelines for mounting advice).
