    • Within the NOC is the Network Management Computer (NMC), which receives and handles information traffic. • Located at Omnitracs, LLC, in Las Vegas, NV. Omnitracs Dispatch • Software on the trucking company’s dispatch computer and dispatcher’s interface with the MCP100.

  • Page 18: Data Satellite And Gps Network

    • MCP100 receives positioning data from the GPS receiver, which is integrated inside the antenna to determine location. • Position data from the MCP100 is forwarded to dispatch whenever information is sent to a vehicle and acknowledged, and whenever a driver sends information.

  • Page 19: Cdma Wireless Network And Pcs

    • Sends vehicle location information to the NOC. • Each MCP100 has its own unique unit address which is the serial number on the MAS. This address is used by the NMC to route information to the correct vehicle. The unit address for a particular vehicle changes if the MAS in the vehicle is replaced.

    General Wiring and Installation Guidelines Topics in this chapter provide the Omnitracs-approved general methods for making connections to cables and wires and the proper connectors to use to avoid potential problems. Making Electrical Connections .........

  • Page 30: Making Electrical Connections

    Making Electrical Connections Approved Omnitracs Electrical Connectors The only Omnitracs-approved electrical connectors are crimp butt splices and crimp ring terminals. Omnitracs recommends Nylon insulated, seamless butt connectors with inspection windows. Heat-shrinkable butt connectors are preferred. When butt splicing multiple wires on one end of a butt splice and a different number of wires on the other end, step-down butt splices are recommended.

  • Page 31: Butt Splicing

    General Wiring and Installation Guidelines Butt Splicing Butt Splicing • Omnitracs recommends Nylon insulated, seamless butt connectors with inspection windows. • Heat-shrinkable butt connectors are preferred. Butt splicing can be done inside and outside the cab or enclosure. See Butt Splicing...

  • Page 32: Crimping

    Crimping General Wiring and Installation Guidelines Crimping • When crimping a butt-spliced wire or cable, be sure the insulated butt splice is crimped using the insulated position on the crimp tool and not the crimping “tooth” of the tool. • Crimping butt splices incorrectly can result in a severed wire and a failed wire connection. Caution DO NOT crimp on the crimp “tooth.”...
  • Page 33 General Wiring and Installation Guidelines Crimping Note The objective is to apply only the necessary pressure to crimp the butt splice closed and hold the wire connections together. Do not apply so much pressure as to crush the butt splice and sever the wire or the insulation on the wire.
  • Page 34 Crimping General Wiring and Installation Guidelines Crimping locations Outside crimp (insulated wire) Outside crimp (insulated wire) Inside crimp (stripped wire) Inside crimp (stripped wire) 03AAA_273 Verify that the crimps are good and the wires have not been damaged. Do a pull test. Pull on both ends of the wires to ensure a solid butt-spliced connection exists.
  • Page 35 Use a minimum of two layers of seal tape to completely wrap the connection. • 3M industrial tape (tape sealant, vinyl/rubber mastic) is available in a 10’ roll from Omnitracs (MCN# 800-01788-0168). To find a local or nationwide supplier, visit ® http://www.3m.com (Mastic, Scotch Vinyl).
  • Page 36 Crimping General Wiring and Installation Guidelines Strain Relief With or Without Weather Protection Tape If there is sufficient wire available for the Four-Finger Wrap Method: Wrap a wire around four fingers of a hand, one full loop, so that the wire loop is longer than the wrapped butt splice.
  • Page 37 General Wiring and Installation Guidelines Crimping Caution Failure to cut the tie wraps flush to the lock head can result in minor injury. Cut tie wrap flush with lock head. 04AAA_25a Firmly tug on the butt-spliced wire connection to make sure the tie wraps do not pull loose.
