    Handling Precautions 3.1.2 Battery Back-up devices Please properly dispose of the battery in any of the CalAmp products that utilize one, do not just throw used batteries, replaced batteries, or units containing a back-up battery into the trash. Consult your local waste management facility for proper disposal instructions.
  • Page 7 To ensure proper operation in such an environment, the 4530™ was subjected to standard tests defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The specific tests included temperature, shock, vibration, and EMI/EMC. These tests were performed by independent labs and documented in a detailed test report.

Upon inserting a new SIM the APN, username and password will switch to the new SIM card's defaults if the MCC and MNC values change.

  • Page 16 4.3 Activating GSM or HSPA LMU using AT Commands Check with the CalAmp Sales team for availability of the LMU-4530™ with GSM or HSPA modems. For a GSM/GPRS operator you will get the LMU in one of two varieties, one with a SIM and one without.
  • Page 17 The activation sequence for a GSM LMU would therefore look as follows: AT$APP PARAM 2306,0,“myAPN.myOperator.com” AT$APP PARAM 2306,1,“myAPN.myOperator.com” AT$APP PARAM 2314,0,“myUSername” AT$APP PARAM 2315,0,“myPassword” For a blank APN the following command can be used: AT$APP PARAM 2306,0,“” (for a blank APN) Only enter this next command if you have been given a non-zero PIN as any errors may lock you out of the modem.

    If possible, it should be located at least 3 feet from the GPS antenna. Ensure that the cable does not get crushed during installation. Please note that the antennas provided by CalAmp combine both the GPS and Comm portions.

  • Page 25 When dealing with combination antennas, it is more important to considered GPS performance over Comm performance. GPS signal strengths are much lower than those typically seen by cellular networks supported by the LMU. In order to maximize the performance the LMU should have a clear view of the sky as possible.

  • Page 26: Cable Length

    If at any time you should encounter a problem with the LMU, you may need to read the LEDs in order to troubleshoot the problem. If you cannot fix the LMU yourself, you will need to provide the LED information to CalAmp customer support. For information about how to interpret the LEDs, see the Status LED Behavior section.

  • Page 27: Connect Power, Ignition, And Ground

    Typically, the LMU should be placed under the passenger seat or dashboard of the vehicle. LMUs with internal antennas should be placed to maximize their GPS performance. A typical location include under the dash close to the front wind-shield. Attach the LMU to the solid body of the vehicle, not to plastic panels. The LMU can be placed out of sight by removing interior trim and molding to expose available space, then replacing the trim once the LMU is in place 5.3.2 Connect power, ignition, and ground.

  • Page 30: Comm Verification

    5.4.1 Comm Verification Installers should first verify that the 4530™ has been acquired and has registered to the wireless network. This may be verified in one of two ways. First, installers may look at the Comm LED (i.e., the one closest to the SMC antenna connector). If this LED is solid, then the LMU has registered to the network and established a data session.

    (see the Installation Notes section for placement suggestions), the antenna connector and that the antenna has a clear view of the sky. For further troubleshooting, installers should contact CalAmp Support (M2MSupport@CalAmp.com) 5.4.3 Inbound Verification The last item to verify is that the 4530™ is sending data to the correct server. In general, this is a two- step process that will need the aid of an observer on the back end.
