    ST 9100 - INSTALLATION GUIDE 7. Use the provided cable ties to secure the antenna to the asset. Note: If the large clearance hole required for the right-angle SMA cable connector is considered too large, there is the option to use a smaller clearance hole in the mounting surface and install the cable from inside the asset after the antenna has been tied down.
  • Page 20: Protect The Cables And Cable Connectors

    CAUTION:  Cable management and connector strain relief must be incorporated in the installation. ORBCOMM highly recommends securing the cable at regular intervals along its length as part of the installation to prevent cable wear and eliminate strain on the connector. Damage to the connector interface or cable may otherwise result and lead to hardware failure.

    ST 9100 - INSTALLATION GUIDE 2. Connect the cellular antenna to the violet FAKRA connector on the transceiver by pushing until you hear a click. 3. Connect the power and I/O cable to the transceiver by pushing and twisting until it locks in place.
  • Page 23: Connect To Power

    ST 9100 - INSTALLATION GUIDE 1. Review the mounting guidelines before permanently mounting the transceiver. 2. Mount the transceiver using cable ties or washers and screws. You can use cable ties if the transceiver remains flat and is either parallel or perpendicular to the ground, for proper operation of the internal accelerometer.
  • Page 24: Can Bus Connection

    To connect the transceiver CAN bus serial interface to the CAN bus of the vehicle, ORBCOMM recommends using a J1962 (OBDII) connector or an induction sensor, which allows the transceiver CAN bus interface to read information from the CAN bus without damaging the vehicle wires.
