Pursuant to 47 CFR § 24.52 of the FCC Rules and Regulations, personal communications services (PCS)
equipment is subject to the radio frequency radiation exposure requirements specified in § 1.1307(b), §
2.1091 and § 2.1093, as appropriate.
CalAmp certifies that it has determined that the LMU-30xx/CVF-3030 complies with the RF hazard
requirements applicable to broadband PCS equipment operating under the authority of 47 CFR Part 24,
Subpart E of the FCC Rules and Regulations. This determination is dependent upon installation,
operation and use of the equipment in accordance with all instructions provided.
The LMU-30xx/CVF-3030 is designed for and intended to be used in fixed and mobile applications.
“Fixed” means that the device is physically secured at one location and is not able to be easily moved to
another location. “Mobile” means that the device is designed to be used in other than fixed locations
and generally in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 cm is normally maintained between
the transmitter’s antenna and the body of the user or nearby persons. The LMU-26xx is not designed for
or intended to be used in portable applications (within 20 cm of the body of the user) and such uses are
strictly prohibited.
To ensure that the LMU-30xx/CVF-3030 complies with current FCC regulations limiting both maximum
RF output power and human exposure to radio frequency radiation, a separation distance of at least 20
cm must be maintained between the unit’s antenna and the body of the user and any nearby persons at
all times and in all applications and uses. Additionally, in mobile applications, maximum antenna gain
must not exceed 3 dBi.
1.2 Hardware Precautions
Electrical Over-Stress (EOS)
The LMU-30xx/CVF-3030 GPS receiver can be damaged if exposed to an RF level that exceeds its
maximum input rating. Such exposure can happen if a nearby source transmits an RF signal at
sufficiently high level to cause damage.
Storage and Shipping
One potential source of EOS is proximity of one LMU-30xx/CVF-3030 GPS Antenna to another LMU30xx/CVF-3030 GSM Antenna. Should one of the units be in a transmit mode, the potential exists for the
other unit to become damaged. Therefore, any LMU-30xx/CVF-3030 should be kept at least four inches
apart from any active LMU-30xx/CVF-3030 or any other active high power RF transmitter with power
greater than 1 Watt.
This guide provides on-site service information for the basic setup and installation of the LMU-30xx/CVF3030 device and OBD-II Extender Cable.
It is important to perform all installation steps in the order identified in this guide to minimize any
potential damage to the vehicle or equipment. Before installing any of the components, read this guide
The LMU-30xx/CVF-3030 features a small size, superior GPS design, OBD-II interface, and a 3-axis
accelerometer. These features enable the LMU-30xx/CVF-3030 to access vehicle diagnostic interface
data, track vehicle speed and location, and operational information.
Typically, the LMU-30xx/CVF-3030 connects directly into the vehicle’s OBD-II port and requires no
additional connections. For protected installations, the LMU-30xx/CVF-3030 is installed under the dash,
and then is connected to an OBD-II Extender Cable (P/N 144301) that plugs directly into the vehicle’s
OBD-II port. This installation couples a zip-tie secured around the device with a tamper seal applied to
protect against accidental interference and to deter intentional tampering. When the tamper seal is
removed, the seal self-destructs to indicate removal and leaves behind a dot-pattern residue on the
device.
For a protected installation, the LMU-30xx/CVF-3030 device is typically installed under the vehicle
dashboard on the driver side, however, another common installation location include behind the A-pillar
panel on the driver side of the vehicle. This section outlines the steps in sequential order for installing
the components in a typical installation.
The first step of the installation requires removing the panels on the driver’s side of the vehicle. The
panel you remove depends on the selected install location. The following instructions show the typical
under the dashboard panel removal.
To Remove the Panels:
1. Remove the panel above the vehicle’s OBD-II port.
Figure 4: Remove Bottom Panel
2. Place your hand on the panel indentation, and then gently pull down until the panel snaps out.
Figure 9: Tamper Tape over LMU-30xx/CVF-3030 and OBD-II Extender Cable Connection
4. To deter potential device tampering, apply a piece of tamper tape over the connection. When the tamper tape is removed, the tape self-destructs to indicate removal and leaves behind a
residue on the device.
5. Place a female-side (loop-side) piece of Velcro on the LMU-30xx/CVF-3030 device. Place tamper tape and Velcro on non-label side of the LMU-30xx/CVF-3030 device.
Figure 10: Plug Male Connector of OBD-II Extender Cable into OBD-II port.
6. Plug the male connector of the OBD-II Extender Cable directly into the vehicle’s OBD-II port.
7. To deter potential device tampering, apply a zip-tie and a piece of tamper tape over the connection.
8. For LMU-3000 devices only, review the status LEDs on the device for successful installation. For all
other LMU-30xx/CVF-3030 devices, review device communication status using the FO MobileInstall
app.
Note: The LMU-3030/CVF-3030 has one LED to indicate power up of the device. It does not report
device communication or status.
After you plug in the OBD-II Extender Cable, the LMU-3000 LEDs go through a boot-up cycle. After
the boot-up cycle completes, the orange and green lights blink before turning solid. The red light is
not active.
The LMU-30xx should be placed non-label side up and not obstructed by metal.
The CVF-3030 should be place with the Air ID label side up and not obstructed by metal.
Once you have successfully connected the LMU-30xx/CVF-3030 and OBD-II Extender Cable, continue
to Step 4.3 Reassemble Vehicle Panels.
4.3 Reassemble the Vehicle Panel
The last step of the installation process is to reassemble the vehicle panels by gently snapping the panels
back in place.
To Reassemble Vehicle Panels:
1. Verify all connections and cable are secure and out of the way of normal vehicle operations.
