Qtanium200 Introduction The Qtanium 200 is a weatherproof Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) unit that is designed for reliable long-term asset tracking applications that are normally tethered to 12 or 24 volt systems but may be disconnected for periods of time. It communicates with a server and allows information about the asset to be stored and monitored.
Qtanium200 wiring – Trailer installation The Qtanium200 when installed as a standard trailer tracking product only needs connections for power and ground. Wire Color Function Description +12/24V Connect to the positive post on the asset’s battery or another suitable permanent power supply source. This connection must be fused (3 Amp).
Qtanium200 wiring – Vehicle/Equipment installation The Qtanium200 when installed in a vehicle or piece of equipment will be connected using standard power, ground, and ignition connections. Wire Color Function Description +12/24V Connect to the positive post on the asset’s battery or another suitable permanent power supply source.

Recommended Tools and Supplies Mobile electronics installation requires a variety of different tools. The following list provides a good example of the range of tools that will be required for installation. Tool List (recommendations): • Panel Popper (Snap On, Mac, Craftsman, Klein) •...
Equipment overview The Qtanium200 consists of the device itself and an installation kit. The GPS and cellular antenna are internal on the Qtanium200 to aid in simplifying the installation process.

Pre-Installation – Trailer installation Pre- ‐ i nstallat i on Requirements: As you are installing the Qtanium200 it is a requirement to wake the device from the hibernation mode it has been placed in for shipping. Using a drill battery or other temporary power source of between 9v-30v that you can confirm positive and negative connections –...

Qtanium200 device i.e. you don’t want to mount the unit directly above an axle which would block the ability for GPS reflective bounce. The Qtanium200 should be mounted with the wiring facing down, or with a “drip loop”, this is to prevent any pooling of water at the location the wiring goes into the enclosure.

Qtanium200 can be mounted higher on the trailer if this location is requested by the customer, this location isn’t the primary location and should only be used if the customer requests it or the Qtanium200 will not work in a lower location. Wire routing...

An alternate location for mounting would be the face near the 7-way connector, or on the side on a flat-bed style trailer. It is still important that wiring faces down on this installation location. On larger trailers the Qtanium200 can be mounted higher on the trailer if this location is requested by the customer.

Power connections Power connections are made at either the 7-way power connector between the trailer and truck or if equipped can be made at the trailers power distribution located in the rear of the trailer between the axles. Not all trailers will have the power distribution but if available can be utilized.
Page 14
Power connections continued If the other locations listed are not accessible or not recommended for other reasons power connections can be made to the trailer harness under the trailer. Care must be taken that this connection location will not cause any issues with ongoing trailer maintenance. When making these connections you are required to use poke-and-wrap is water-proof shrinkable connectors,...

Power connections 7-way trailer connector If making power connections at the 7-way trailer connector you will need to gain access to the rear wires. There are many different types of 7-way connector the pictures provided are just one example. You will take both the Red and the White wires connect them together to the same power source.

Rear power distribution block location The power distribution block is locate in the rear of the trailer between the axles. Not all trailers will have this distribution but if they do it is recommended that power connections are made there. Look under trailer near location circled below to see if the trailer has this distribution block.
Page 17
Power connections rear distribution block You will need to gain access to run the Qtanium200 wiring into the power distribution. You should always use the provided waterproof connectors already on the distribution block. You will simply loosen one of the connectors and run the Qtanium wires through with the factory wires, and reattach the connector.

Administration Administration – You need to document as much information as possible. The full 17 digit VIN is required on all Teletrac Navman installations, also you need to document the Make, Model, Year, and Asset number of the vehicle.

There may be extreme difficulties accessing the ignition switch wires, the wires may be low amperage control wires not acceptable to power the Qtanium200. In these cases the installers experience and knowledge will allow connections in other appropriate locations.)

The correct wire will have power when the key is in the on/run position and also while the engine is cranking. It will not have power with the key off or removed. The pink wire from the Qtanium200 will be connected here.

Twist Strip insulation from the source wire. Also strip approximately 1” of insulation from the fused Qtanium200 wire. Divide – Using a tool with a point divide the source wires down the middle. Poke – Insert the fused wires stripped portion through the middle.

In these cases, run the lead to the battery and connect it to the negative side. We recommend not using the existing factory wires attached to ground; this could cause interference or noise. It is noted that the Qtanium200 performance will be seriously degraded.

Qtanium200 mounting location • All equipment and wiring must be installed in a manner that will conceal its location. • It is always best to mount the unit to a flat surface; it should not be mounted on curves, dips or humps since this can degrade the security of the unit.

Qtanium200 mounting location The Qtanium200 must be securely mounted with a clear view of the sky.

Any location that blocks the internal antenna from getting a clear view of the sky • The Qtanium200 is a waterproof, dustproof, shock resistant device. As such it can be mounted in almost any location the customer would request. Inside the cab of a vehicle would be the standard location but can be moved...
