9.2 Positioning TMD MK5 FPT

Once you have located the connection points to the power supply lines, you must find the most
suitable place to fasten the device.
When positioning the device, you must respect the following general rules:
• It must be far from sources of heat
• It must be in a dry place and away from moisture and water
• It must be close enough to enable the connection to diagnostic devices
• It must be in a place where the internal antennas are not shielded
• The device must maintain the direction selected when the vehicle is in motion
• The device must be secured to a rigid support to prevent it from being subject to excessive
vibrations.
In order to use the inertial sensors, the device automatically calculates its positioning inside the
vehicle.
The automatic calculation takes place during the first trip after the installation.
The trip must last between 2 and 5 minutes based on the type of route.
If the length of the trip or the features of the route (for example the vehicle stops too often) are not
sufficient in order to complete the operation, it will be repeated during the following trip.
The data of the inertial sensors will not be used by the device until the operation described above
has been completed, in particular the identification of a possible accident will not be active.
Once this phase is completed, all the functions configured that require the use of the inertial
sensors will be enabled automatically.

The device must be placed in a position in which it is not covered by
metallic sides or by other materials that may screen the radio waves.
Do not fasten the device near antennas or other radio devices (ex.:
CBs, radars, mobile phones, etc.).
The device can be installed in any direction inside the vehicle;
however, position it with the upper part facing upwards and sky-
facing, where possible.
