AT405 Installation Guide
Generic Installation Recommendations:
• Devices should be configured for SIM and platform, details entered on the platform and
tested to confirm configuration BEFORE being sent for installation
•
Before starting, take note of any fault lights or codes displayed on the vehicle dashboard
•
Devices and antennas should be securely mounted, so they cannot work loose
•
If double-sided tape is being used to mount devices and/or antennas, surfaces should be flat,
cleaned and de-greased
•
Antennas and/or devices should not be mounted in close proximity to loudspeakers
•
All connections should be soldered, using a gas-powered or battery-powered soldering iron.
•
Mains-powered or vehicle-powered soldering irons should never be used
•
IDC crimps and any other form of crimp connector should not be used
•
Device permanent power should be taken directly from the battery or main battery feed, to
avoid problems with current drain being detected by the vehicle ECU
•
Ignition sense feed should be taken from an auxiliary or accessory circuit which goes live only
when the vehicle ignition is on. For example, the auxiliary power socket or cigarette lighter
socket is often a good choice
•
Where the immobiliser feature is used, the relay should be fitted in the starter motor
solenoid circuit, to prevent starting of the vehicle, NEVER in any manner that can prevent
running mid-journey
•
Immobiliser relays should be installed using the NORMALLY CLOSED contacts, to ensure that
any failure in the device, wiring or configuration does not prevent starting of the vehicle (fail-
safe mode)
•
Full diagnostics should be completed before replacing panels and leaving the vehicle
Recommended Tools and Consumables:
• Butane gas or battery-powered soldering iron
• Cables ties (various widths and lengths)
• Double-sided foam adhesive tape (e.g. TESA 62936)
• Self-amalgamating insulating tape, fabric type (e.g. TESA 51608)
• IPA degreasing wipes, or IPA solvent and paper towels
• Craft knife
• Heat-shrink sleeve (various diameters)
• Side cutters (fine/sharp)
• Spare ATO fuses, 1A
• Voltmeter
