3 Device Mounting Options 3.1 Screw Mounting The XT4970D has two flanges (two holes per) at each end of the housing for screw mounting the device to the mounting surface. 3.2 3M VHB Tape Mounting For a semi-permanent option, the device can be mounted with 3M VHB tape as shown below:...
The cradle will need to be screw-mounted or VHB Tape mounted to the position desired. The XT4970D can be easily fastened into the cradle via a Phillips head screw. The angled edged of the cradle is designed to withstand the impact of snow scrapers that may come in contact to the cradle if mounted on the top of a typical trailer.
3.5 Device Mounting Guidelines The XT4970D Series devices leverage solar energy to replenish the charge of its battery. Please consider the device mounting guidelines to maximize device solar charging. Also, the XT4970D series uses cellular and GPS technologies whose signal reception quality is depending on mounting location and style.
4 Quick Start Guide 4.1 Device Wakeup To start up the device, simply hold the black button located near the circular connector on the side panel of the device for 3 seconds. You should see the blue “C” LED light up and then fade out. The blue LED will blink when the device is successfully connected to the network.
Connect the XT4970D Tx wire to the TTL converter cable Rx wire. Connect the XT4970D Rx wire to the TTL converter cable Tx wire. Connect the XT4970D ground wire to the ground wire of the TTL converter cable. Use a terminal application to connect to the COM port associated with the TTL converter cable.
6) You can now configure the device by sending the XT commands listed in the protocol document of this device. a. Command +XT:1010 configures network settings b. Command +XT:3017 configures the sleep/wake mode for the device. i. The factory defaults for this device is to operate in the sleep timer mode and have a minute of wake time max.
