Installation Instructions

1. Find a suitable mounting position
To guarantee optimum reception of the GPS signals by
the MX-GPS-Box, you should find a spot on the outside of
a building, which provides a clear view of the sky (max.
50 m/55 yd wire length between the MOBOTIX camera
and the MX-GPS-Box).
2. Attach the box
Attach the MX-GPS-Box at the mounting position with the
cable ports pointing downwards. Next, remove the box
cover (three screws). Do not remove the white sealing
plug (left) or the temperature sensor (center)!
3. Prepare the MxBus wires
Before proceeding, make sure there is no voltage on
the MxBus wires!
Cut the MxBus cable to size (2-wire, 0.6 to 0.8 mm diameter).
When using wires without sheath , strip the insulation
of the wires for 5 mm and push the wires through the
eight-wire plug (right).
When using a cable with sheath , remove the pre-installed
eight-wire plug and insert the appropriate cable plug (3 to
5 mm or 5 to 7 mm). Press the rubber plug into the casing
in such a way that the rims stick out equally on both sides.
Push the cable through the plug, remove the sheath on
a length of 15 mm and strip the insulation of the wires
for about 5 mm.
4. Connect the MxBus wires to the terminal
Connect the MxBus wires to the screw terminals using
the screwdriver. Make sure to maintain the polarity (see
sticker in front of the terminal). Mount the cover back onto
the box (torque 0.4 Nm).
5. Connect the MxBus wires to the opposite side
Connect the MxBus wires as described in the corresponding
manual to the MOBOTIX camera or to another MxBus module
connected to a camera (e.g. Keypad, Security Door Opener).
Make sure not to exceed the overall length of the MxBus
wiring of 50 m (55 yd).
