4 Installing the LMU The installation of the LMU and its antennas can have a major impact on the LMU’s performance. It is recommended that installers be familiar with the installation of GPS and cellular devices and are comfortable in a vehicle environment. 4.1 Preparing for Installation Be sure you have received all the LMU components you need. - Page 12 4.2.1 Size and Placement of LMU Unit The dimensions of the LMU should be taken into account, particularly when installing in a vehicle: Whether you intend to place the LMU under a seat or into a cavity behind the vehicle’s interior molded trim, be sure the LMU will fit before drilling any holes or running cable Be certain that the cables running to the LMU will not be bent or constricted.
- Page 13 LMU is operating properly. 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.

4.2.6 Preventing Accidental or Unauthorized Modification If you anticipate that fleet drivers or others might interfere with the LMUs once they are installed, take steps to be sure that it is not easy to disconnect the antenna wiring, remove the LMU from its power source, etc. Two common methods are the use of Tamper Proof Sealant or creation of PEG Script to detect power loss or GPS antenna disconnections. -
Page 15: Installation Verification
DO NOT connect the power cable to the LMU at this time. 5.3 Installation Verification In many cases it is desirable to verify that an installed TTU-2830™is working properly.
