Addendum D – NET Vehicle Collector Installation
The Nero Equipment Tracking Vehicle Collector is a separate device installed in the vehicle
which connects to the Nero beacon in the 10-pin Molex Mfg/Data Connector port indicated
in the wiring diagram. The model VI-310 Vehicle Collector (shown here) is supplied with a
12-inch interface cable that has an RS232 connector and a 10-pin Molex connector.
Please follow these steps carefully to install and test the Vehicle Collector.
1.
Make note of both the Vehicle Collector Serial Number and the Beacon IMEI. Have
at least two equipment tags on hand for testing the device.
2.
Install the Nero 66xx beacon as per this installation guide.
3.
Make sure the vehicle ignition is OFF.
4.
Connect the RS232 end of the interface cable to the Vehicle Collector's RS232 port.
There are two screws on each side of the RS232 port which are turned clockwise to
secure the Vehicle Collector to the cable.
5.
The 10-pin Molex connector on the interface cable can be inserted directly into the
66xx port, or an extension cable may be used if the Vehicle Collector needs to be
installed further away from the beacon.
6.
The Vehicle Collector must be installed in a location where the signal to the asset tags
will not be blocked. An ideal location is on the ceiling or beside a door, close to where
the tracked equipment will be loaded. Ensure there is air flow around the device and
the location is free of moisture and excessive dust.
7.
It is recommended that cable ties, Velcro, or heavy-duty double-sided tape be used to
secure the Vehicle Collector in place. Once it is securely installed and connected to the
66xx beacon, it is ready to be tested.
8.
Turn ON the vehicle ignition.

the installation. You will need to provide the Vehicle Collector Serial Number and the
Beacon IMEI noted earlier.
