BLACKBERRY RADAR D ITL100-1 INSTALLATION GUIDE—CHASSIS CONTAINER ON/OFF DETECTION 1 Overview This guide provides detailed instructions for installing and activating new BlackBerry Radar D modules. It includes three main tasks: Task 1: Get ready for installation (see Section 2) Task 2: Install a BlackBerry Radar D (see Section 3) Match the module identifier with the asset identifier on the installation worksheet.
BlackBerry Radar Installation App. This app will allow you to record the pairing of each BlackBerry Radar D module to its asset (that is, the container that the device will be installed on) and its associated BlackBerry Radar gateway.

BLACKBERRY RADAR D ITL100-1 INSTALLATION GUIDE—CHASSIS CONTAINER ON/OFF DETECTION Fastener selection considerations—Rivets If you desire a more permanent mounting solution, you may use rivets instead of screws. Rivets As you will need to supply the fasteners, the length of the rivet will be determined by the depth of your mounting surface, plus the depth of the Radar D mounting flange.
BLACKBERRY RADAR D ITL100-1 INSTALLATION GUIDE—CHASSIS CONTAINER ON/OFF DETECTION 3.2 Installation tools Required tools to complete the installation: Smartphone with BlackBerry Drill and Drill bits Screwdriver or Bit Radar Installation App *Specific size and type of screwdriver or bit is dependent on the screws selected for your install.
In order to track an asset, the Radar D module that is installed on the asset must be associated with the asset in the BlackBerry Radar Dashboard. It is, therefore, very important to keep a clear record of which module is installed on which asset.

3. If you are unable to use the BlackBerry Radar Installation App during your installation, you need to obtain a worksheet where you can record the pairing of each BlackBerry Radar D module to its asset and associated BlackBerry Radar gateway devices.

BLACKBERRY RADAR D ITL100-1 INSTALLATION GUIDE—CHASSIS CONTAINER ON/OFF DETECTION Tip: For modules that have previously been transferred to new assets, the temporary S/N label may no longer be in place. If this is the case, you will need to write the module identifier (S/N) for each module on the installation worksheet.
2. To monitor the presence or absence of a container on the chassis, when installing the Radar D module, always ensure the sensor area is pointed towards the sky. This diagram illustrates the supported installation orientations for the BlackBerry Radar D module.
3.4.1 Prepare module for installation—Module activation IMPORTANT: Please do not perform the module activation process until you are ready to install and associate the BlackBerry Radar modules on your asset. Once the module is activated, please complete the module installation and association, as soon as you can, to conserve battery life.

BLACKBERRY RADAR D ITL100-1 INSTALLATION GUIDE—CHASSIS CONTAINER ON/OFF DETECTION SPECIAL NOTE—MAGNETS AND TAMPER DETECTION: If you plan to use the Tamper Detection feature, please save this magnet. The magnet will be installed on the asset to trigger tamper alerts. For a full explanation of the tamper detection installation procedure, please refer to Section 3.4.2: Installing the module on an...
INSTALLATION GUIDE—CHASSIS CONTAINER ON/OFF DETECTION 3.4.2 Chassis installation procedure—Container On/Off detection If you are using BlackBerry Radar D to monitor a chassis trailer, you may mount the module on any flat, vertical surface that offers enough mounting area for the module. When selecting a mounting location, carefully consider how the asset will be used in its normal, day-to-day operation.

BlackBerry Radar D module. This unobstructed viewing area, above the module, will allow your BlackBerry Radar D to accurately detect the presence or absence of a container on the chassis, by sensing the container’s underside.
Page 17
If you are installing on an extendable chassis or a chassis that can simultaneously support multiple containers, be sure to install your BlackBerry Radar D module in an area of the chassis that will be covered by the containers, when the containers are present.
Page 18
BLACKBERRY RADAR D ITL100-1 INSTALLATION GUIDE—CHASSIS CONTAINER ON/OFF DETECTION If you are installing on some extendable chassis models, you may encounter fixed overhead crossmembers that are attached to part of the chassis. There is a chance for these flat crossmembers, at top of the chassis, to block the Radar D detection beam when the chassis is extended or collapsed to certain intervals (adjustment stops).

BLACKBERRY RADAR D ITL100-1 INSTALLATION GUIDE—CHASSIS CONTAINER ON/OFF DETECTION Extendable Chassis Example = Radar D Alternate Installation Location. For extendable chassis models with overhead crossmembers. Stacked Chassis If you routinely store your chassis in a stack, or transport stacked chassis--we recommend installing Radar D towards the middle of the chassis, as shown below.

BLACKBERRY RADAR D ITL100-1 INSTALLATION GUIDE—CHASSIS CONTAINER ON/OFF DETECTION Distance Above the Module Once you have identified a suitable mounting area on the chassis, ensure there is a minimum 6” (15 cm) clearance between the top surface of the module and the surface that will support the corner fitting of the container.
Page 21
BLACKBERRY RADAR D ITL100-1 INSTALLATION GUIDE—CHASSIS CONTAINER ON/OFF DETECTION To achieve this minimum clearance, try to position the module as low on the chassis crossmember as you can, without extending the bottom of the module beyond the bottom edge of the crossmember. Extending the bottom edge of module beyond the bottom edge of the crossmember can expose the module to potential damage.

BLACKBERRY RADAR D ITL100-1 INSTALLATION GUIDE—CHASSIS CONTAINER ON/OFF DETECTION Scenario 1: General Installation—Without Tamper Detection 1. Identify the desired installation location for your module. IMPORTANT: If your chassis crossmember has lightening holes, we recommend that the module is installed completely on a solid area of the crossmember, that does not span the lightening hole.
Page 23
BLACKBERRY RADAR D ITL100-1 INSTALLATION GUIDE—CHASSIS CONTAINER ON/OFF DETECTION 3. Using a drill bit, drill a hole through each of the marked holes. This will create two holes you will use to mount the module to the crossmember. Drilling tips for chassis and frame installations Due to the thicker, harder steel used on chassis and trailer frames, you may wish to follow these suggestions.
Page 24
BLACKBERRY RADAR D ITL100-1 INSTALLATION GUIDE—CHASSIS CONTAINER ON/OFF DETECTION 5. Place the module on the chassis, aligning the holes on the module with the holes you drilled into the chassis. 6. Insert your fastener of choice into the holes and use the appropriate tools to secure the module to the asset.

BLACKBERRY RADAR D ITL100-1 INSTALLATION GUIDE—CHASSIS CONTAINER ON/OFF DETECTION Scenario 2: Tamper Detection Installation 1. Identify the desired installation location for your module. To support the use of super glue to bond the tamper detection magnet to the chassis crossmember, ensure the crossmember mounting area is clean and dry.

BLACKBERRY RADAR D ITL100-1 INSTALLATION GUIDE—CHASSIS CONTAINER ON/OFF DETECTION 3. With the rear of the module facing the sky, place the bottom edge of the module against the crossmember. Carefully rotate the module, vertically, to place the rear of the module against the face of the crossmember. Rotating the device slowly towards the crossmember helps keep the magnet aligned within the magnet recess, as the magnet attaches to the crossmember.
Page 29
BLACKBERRY RADAR D ITL100-1 INSTALLATION GUIDE—CHASSIS CONTAINER ON/OFF DETECTION 5. Carefully, pull the module away from the chassis crossmember. Pulling the module away from the crossmember is important, as it helps the magnet remain in place, as the module is removed from the crossmember.
