GPS/Wireless System Installation Manual

This manual provides the instructions necessary to install the GPS Module (# 8128), and the Wireless On-Board Module (# 8129) with your DriveRight 600 or 600

E device using the DriveRight GPS/Wireless Interface Module

(# 8127) or with your CarChip Fleet Pro using the CarChip Fleet Pro GPS/ Wireless Interface Module (# 8251).

The DriveRight GPS/Wireless Interface Module (# 8127) connects the GPS and/or Wireless On-Board Modules to a DriveRight 600 or DriveRight 600

device. The CarChip Fleet Pro GPS/Wireless Interface Module (# 8251) connects the GPS and/or Wireless On-Board Modules to a CarChip Fleet Pro.

Refer to the DriveRight 600 User’s Guide or DriveRight 600

E User’s Guide,

and the DriveRight Fleet Management Software Online Help for more information on configuring and using these components.

Note: GPS data collection must be enabled in the DriveRight or CarChip device prior to

installation via the DriveRight Fleet Management Software (FMS).

The Wireless On-Board Module must be configured in the Fleet Management Software (FMS) before installation in a vehicle. See the FMS Online Help System for information on configuring both of these modules.

The components necessary for a GPS/Wireless System installation in a vehicle differ based on the monitoring device with which the components are paired. The following chart displays the monitoring device type, and the different components in the GPS/Wireless System required for each installation:

Requires one # 8127 GPS/Wireless Interface Module for DriveRight installations or one # 8251 for CarChip Fleet

DriveRight GPS/Wireless Wiring Diagram

Making Connections

The GPS/Wireless Interface Module for DriveRight can be installed with either the GPS Module, the Wireless On-Board Module or both. The instructions below assume an installation involving all three modules.

Modify your own installation as necessary.

1. Connect the GPS Module to the GPS/Wireless Interface Module by plugging the male connector of the GPS Module cable into the socket labeled “GPS” on the GPS/Wireless Interface Module.

2. Connect the Wireless On-Board Module to the GPS/Wireless Interface Module by plugging the male connector on the Wireless On-Board Module cable into the socket labeled “W” on the GPS/Wireless Interface Module.

3. Disconnect the DriveRight 600

E device or optional SmartCard On-Board

Reader cable from the Digital Adapter Cable.

4. Connect the male connector from the GPS/Wireless Interface Module cable to the female connector on the Digital Adapter Cable.

5. Connect the female connector on the GPS/Wireless Interface Module to the male connector on the DriveRight 600

E, or optional SmartCard On-Board

Reader cable.

See the diagrams below for properly disconnecting and connecting cables:

Disconnecting Cables:

Hold both cables by their connector housing and pull apart.

The housing of the male connector slides to separate the cables.

Connecting Cables:

Slide

Connector Housing

Hold the female connector and push the male connector from behind the housing, allowing

the housing to slide back. The cables lock together when a connection is made.

Installing the GPS/Wireless System

See the installation diagram below for correct placement and installation of all the components in the GPS/Wireless System into a vehicle:

Note: If using a DriveRight 600 with the # 8157 GPS Module, place the # 8157 GPS antenna in

the same location as the # 8128 GPS Module shown in the drawing above.

1. Place the GPS/Wireless Interface Module under the dashboard of the vehicle, near the DriveRight 600

E device or SmartCard On-Board Reader

or CarChip Fleet Pro.

2. Secure the GPS/Wireless Interface Module in place using the provided cable ties, two pieces of velcro tape, or two pieces of double-sided tape.

3. Mount the GPS Module on top of the dashboard.

Wireless Download System Overview

Special requirements that should be taken into account when mounting the GPS Module are:

• Locate the module so that it has a clear view of the sky. Any metal

obstructions may interfere with satellite reception. Davis recommends placing the GPS Module on the deep left corner of the dashboard. See the graphic on the previous page for more information.

• The module must be at least three feet away from any cellular or CB

antenna. Close proximity to a transmitting antenna may degrade or disrupt GPS reception.

4. Secure module by using two pieces of velcro tape or two pieces of doublesided tape.

Note: Davis does not recommend mounting the GPS Module or Wireless On-Board Module

outside of the vehicle.

5. Route the GPS Module cable to the GPS/Wireless Interface Module and plug the connector into the correct socket.

6. Mount the Wireless On-Board Module on a corner of a windshield. Special requirements that should be taken into account when mounting the Wireless On-Board Module are:

• Locate the module in an upper corner of the windshield so that it won’t

obstruct the driver’s field of view. Dress the cable down the left side of the windshield glass.

• Make sure the Wireless On-Board Module cable is mounted to the glass

with the cable at the top. This correctly orients the module’s antenna.

• Mount the module so that its nearest edge is at least one inch from the

left windshield pillar.

• The module must be at least three feet away from any cellular or CB

antenna. Close proximity to a transmitting antenna may degrade or disrupt wireless transmission.

7. Secure module by using two pieces of velcro tape or two pieces of double-sided tape.

8. Route the Wireless On-Board Module to the GPS/Wireless Interface Module and plug the connector into the correct socket.

Wireless Download System Overview

The DriveRight Wireless Download System includes three products. These products work together to give your DriveRight fleet the ability to download data directly from the DriveRight devices to the FMS database in the fleet office, without any actions by your fleet drivers. With this system, there is no need for the drivers to carry the DriveRight device or SmartCard into the fleet office. The data moves wirelessly from the vehicle to the FMS Database.

Wireless Download System Overview

Wireless On-Board Module (# 8129)

The Wireless On-Board Module installs in the vehicle and connects to the DriveRight device through the GPS/Wireless Interface Module for DriveRight (# 8127) or for CarChip Fleet Pro (# 8251). Once the vehicle is parked in the fleet parking lot, this module communicates with a Base Station for Wireless Download System (# 8130) and moves the DriveRight data to the FMS database.

Base Station for Wireless Download System

(# 8130)

The Base Station for the Wireless Download System connects to a computer running FMS using a USB connection. It communicates with all the Wireless OnBoard Modules (# 8129) installed in your fleet and moves the data from the DriveRight devices to the FMS database. Using FMS, this operation can be performed daily for all the vehicles in your fleet, or only for selected vehicles. You can also initiate a manual download from selected vehicles or your whole fleet.

Configuration Cable for Wireless On-Board Module (# 8131)

This Configuration Cable for the Wireless On-Board Module connects to the PC running FMS using a USB connection. It connects a single Wireless On-Board Module (# 8129) to a computer so that it can be configured for initial use in your fleet.

Appendix A: DriveRight 600 Wiring Diagram

If installing the GPS/Wireless System with a DriveRight 600, use an # 8157 GPS Module instead of the # 8128 GPS Module and connect it to the GPS/ Wireless Interface Module (# 8127). Make sure to plug part (# 07381.129, sold separately) into the connector labeled “GPS” on the GPS/Wireless Interface Module. If connecting the GPS/Wireless System to a DriveRight 600 without a GPS Module present, the plug is not needed. Contact Davis Instruments or your local distributor for details.
