Page 13: Pre-Installation Considerations
CalAmp | LMU-26xx Install Guide 4 PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS The installation of the LMU-26xx and its antennas can have a major impact on device performance. It is recommended that installers be familiar with the installation of GPS and cellular devices and are comfortable in a vehicle environment. -
Page 14: Protection From Heat
When feasible, attempt to install the LMU-26xx in such a way that the lights are visible with reasonable ease. You may find it useful to be able to view the LEDs periodically to make sure that the LMU-26xx is operating properly. If you encounter a problem or poor performance with the LMU-26xx, you may need to read the LEDs to troubleshoot the issue. -
Page 15: Moisture And Weather Protection
If the LMU-26xx is installed in a vehicle with a cab exposed to the weather, additional protection is required to avoid damage to the device, which could void the warranty. There are numerous alternatives for protecting the device. -
Page 16: Lmu-26Xx Installation
CalAmp | LMU-26xx Install Guide 5 LMU-26XX INSTALLATION Installing the LMU-26xx is not difficult, but you must consider the variables involved, such as the vehicle type and location of existing equipment. Installation time can vary depending upon the installer’s experience and the vehicle design. The average time for installation is approximately 45 minutes. A single individual can perform most installation operations. -

Area. When determining mounting location, the primary consideration is GPS satellite visibility by the device. The required installation orientation of the LMU-26xx is label side up. The label should face the sky or toward windshield. Note: When performing installation tasks requiring the operation of power, follow recommended safety procedures, including use of safety eye-wear. -
Page 18: Under Dash Installation
Do not use excessive force wedging the device into a location under the dash. Use the provided ‘re-closable fastener tape’ to attach the device to the underside of the dash as described in the steps below. Figure 7: LMU-26xx Under Dash Mount Page 12 MBUD-0199v3.3... -
Page 19: Figure 8: Re-Closable Fastener Tape On Lmu-26Xx
Firmly press on the sticky-side of the re-closable fastener tape onto the device on both sides of the device, front or back of device depending on installation requirements (Figure 7). Figure 8: Re-closable Fastener Tape on LMU-26xx Press the other pieces of re-closable fastener tape, bumpy sides together, onto the device. - Page 20 CalAmp | LMU-26xx Install Guide 5. Route the power cable to the source of 12 Volts continuous and 12 Volts ignition switched. Refer to Section 5.2: Install Power Connections for detailed instructions on installing the power cable. 6. Carefully remove any panels required for access as needed. Ensure there are no sharp edges that may abrade the wire.
