Page 13: Verifying Successful Installation
Verifying Successful Installation 1. S tart the vehicle’s engine. All lights (Red, Yellow, and Green) on the device should turn on solid for 15 seconds and then begin blinking rapidly (twice a second). 2. The device is operating normally when the rapid blinking ceases and the Green and Yellow lights begin to blink in a slow pattern (ON for 5 seconds and OFF for 1 second). The Red light pattern will continue to vary and should not be used to verify installation. 3. The vehicle must be idled or driven for at least 15 minutes to reach normal operating mode and ensure activation is complete. -

Also verify that you have checked the light indicators. After installation, provide the registration form to the fleet manager for delivery to Networkfleet or if you are a Networkfleet Certified Installer, please fax to 866.616.2131 or email to installs@networkfleet.com. -
Page 16: Securing The Device
IMPORTANT: The device must be installed high in the dashboard area and secured with the top of the unit facing the sky (the side of the unit with the Networkfleet logo). Also verify that the device is not covered by metal and check that the green LED is blinking in a slow pattern, which verifies that the unit is getting GPS data (as explained on page 13). To avoid damage from condensation,... -

Optional Window-Mount GPS Antenna Installation Instructions To Install 1. Units are shipped with a knock-out panel covering the sensor/serial ports. First, use an X-ACTO knife to slice off 2 of the 3 tabs in order to remove the knock-out panel. 2. Use enclosed alcohol preparation pad to clean the inside windshield where the antenna is to be placed. For proper operation, the antenna should be placed on flat, clear glass on the driver’s side interior lower corner of the windshield. Ensure that the antenna does not extend more than 4 ½... -
Page 18: Optional Sensor Installation Instructions
• Electrical connectors must be used when attaching sensor wires. • Voltage testing should always be performed with a vehicle door open to avoid retained accessory power issues. The 5500/5200 comes equipped with two sensor inputs. Each sensor will be associated with a pair of input wires. One pair of wires (Purple, Black) will be associated with Sensor 1 and the other pair of wires (Blue, Black) will be associated with Sensor 2. Use the Black wire of each pair to make a secure vehicle ground connection. Then, connect the other wire... - Page 19 Optional Sensor Installation Instructions (cont.) If only one wire pair (sensor input) is to be used, the other pair must be twisted together and insulated via heat shrink or some other secure means to prevent contact with any vehicle structures and to ensure it does not interfere with any moving parts in the vehicle. The signal to be monitored should have two voltage states: One where there is no voltage (i.e. zero volts when referenced to ground) and another that falls in the range +5 to +24 or -5 to -24 volts. The signal being monitored should be capable of supplying 3 mA when a voltage is present. It is important that the voltage signal be tested to ensure it is continuously providing the necessary voltage and current when in the “on”...
- Page 20 To Install 1. Units are shipped with a knock-out panel covering the sensor/serial ports. First, use an X-ACTO knife to slice off 2 of the 3 tabs in order to remove the knock-out panel. 2. Connect the Sensor Input Harness to the Sensor Port on the 5500 or 5200 device. 3. Verify installation by checking the LED behavior of the device (see page 23) and call Customer Care at 866.227.7323 and select Option 5. 4. Before secvvuring the device under the dashboard, make sure you have recorded the appropriate information on the Sensor Installation Card included with the Sensor Input Harness.

Page 21: Optional Garmin® Installation Instructions
5. Before securing the device under the dashboard, make sure you have recorded the appropriate information on the Garmin Installation Card included with the modified Garmin FMI Cable. Once all information is recorded, follow the instructions detailed on the card to update your fleet on www.networkfleet.com. Networkfleet is ONLY compatible with Garmin devices that support Fleet Management Interface Version 2.6 and higher. The list of compatible units can be found here: www.garmin.com/solutions/pnd/supportedproducts.jsp (look for “Supports Version 2.6 Fleet Management Interface” in the description). -
Page 22: Optional Nmea Feed Installation Instructions
Location data is available directly from the 5000 series hardware to another in cab device via our serial port interface. The feed is in NMEA format and requires a 5000 series hardware device, a Networkfleet NMEA Cable, and a terminating device such as a laptop that can accept NMEA data. -
Page 23: Verifying Successful Installation/Led Behavior
Verifying Successful Installation/LED Behavior To verify successful installation, call Customer Care at 866.227.7323 and select Option 5. LED Behavior for Sensors: When the Sensor Input Harness is detected by the unit, all LEDs should be turned on solid for 10 seconds. When you engage Sensor 1 (if installed), the yellow LED shall blink rapidly (1/4 second) every time a transition is detected (on to off/off to on). When you engage Sensor 2 (if installed), the green LED shall blink rapidly (1/4 second) every time a transition is detected (on to off/off to on). The sensor installation verification will take one minute in total. Afterwards, all LEDs should be turned on for 10 seconds and then normal LED behavior will resume. - Page 24 LEDs should be turned on for 10 seconds. Thereafter, then normal LED behavior will resume. Please note that the blinking pattern shows successful connection with the device, but it does not verify successful communication with the Networkfleet website. To verify successful installation, call Customer Care at 866.227.7323 and select Option 5.

Page 27: Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions Q: Are the 5000 series harnesses interchangeable between all other Networkfleet product lines? A: No. Q: When installing the 5200 device, are fuses involved or can the device be “wired hot”? A: We recommend splicing the 5200 harness to fused leads, though the device can be “wired hot” since there is an internal re-settable fuse. An in line fuse is not necessary, however if one is used, it should be at least 5 amps. - Page 28 If you have any additional questions, you may contact Networkfleet Customer Care: Toll Free Number: 866.227.7323 Fax: 815.361.9215 Email: customercare@networkfleet.com www.networkfleet.com Networkfleet 6363 Greenwich Drive, Suite 200 San Diego, California 92122 © 2011 Networkfleet.
