Install the SmarTrax Node
When choosing the location for the SmarTrax node, consider the following points:
•
The node is not weatherproof. Mount the SmarTrax node inside the machine's cab or driver's compartment.
•
The node mounting location must not create tripping hazards and allow cable routing to avoid crimping or
damaging the cables or the node connections.
•
Mount the SmarTrax node to a flat surface with two of the arrows on the node parallel to the ground and in
a location where it will not be kicked or jarred during normal equipment operation.
•
One of the six numbered direction arrows on the node must be oriented in the direction of forward vehicle
travel. Note the number of the arrow corresponding to forward travel for SmarTrax calibration. One arrow
must also point straight up.
•
Mount the node to a flat, level surface. The floor of the cab is generally ideal.
•
Securely fasten the node using bolts or screws through at least two of the three mounting holes. When
mounted properly, the node should not become loose or rotate.
