damage to other electrical systems.
Electrical shock from high voltage batteries must be avoided, as this may lead to death or injury.
The negative terminal of the vehicle’s battery should be disconnected before commencing
installation. If the vehicle has additional batteries, it may be necessary to disconnect the negative terminals of these batteries too.
2.1.3 Precautions
2.1.3.1 ESD
Prior to touching the PCB, inserting a new SIM or replacing the battery, always take ESD precautions:
Either use an earthed wrist strap or touch a known earth point (or negative potential in the
vehicle) prior to handling the unit
If the PCB must be handled, avoid direct contact with any of the components and handle it by
only touching the edges of the PCB
3. Prior to Installation
3.1 Preparing the SIM card
Before inserting the SIM card determine if the SIM needs to be secured with a unique PIN
If a PIN secured SIM is required
Ensure that the SIM is configured as “PIN required”
Ensure that the PIN is set as either 0000 or 00000
The MiX 4000 will change the PIN to a unique number that it calculates for the device
The SIM is then locked to the device and will be PUK locked if inserted in another device
If an unsecured SIM is required
Ensure the SIM is configured as “PIN not required”
The MiX 4000 will leave the SIM with this configuration
This SIM can be moved to a different device without risk of it being PUK locked
3.2 Inserting of SIM card
In order to insert the SIM card, the following steps must be followed:
Observe ESD precautions as prescribed in section 2.1.3
The SIM card is accessible from the back panel.
Insert the SIM card as indicated by the engraved symbol on the housing plastic.
3.3 Configuration of unit
The MiX 4000 is configured with default fleet settings during commissioning. Via the MiX Fleet Manager software interface it is possible to make over the air changes to some settings.

4.1 During installation
Should it be necessary to remove seats, covers or other components, care should be taken to avoid accidental damage and/or disconnection of cables.
All components should be checked for damage prior to being installed into the vehicle.
For small installation openings, a drill should be used.
For larger openings, a conical milling cutter, compass saw or file should be used.
All rough edges should be trimmed.
Careful attention must be paid to the manufacturers’ safety regulations for all tools used.
Oils and fuels must be collected in appropriate containers and disposed of in accordance with
the law.
4.2 Positioning of product components
Installers should ensure that the components of the product do not influence or hamper the functioning of the vehicle’s systems.
Care should be taken to ensure that the product’s components do not get damaged during
installation.
Ensure that sufficient space is available for all components of the product, prior to
commencing the installation.

Should the bracket be used to fix the unit to the vehicle, make sure that the unit and bracket
are securely clipped together. Add a cable-tie around the complete housing and bracket assembly for a more secure mounting it required.
Avoid installing in known high-temperature areas, such as parts of the engine bay or near
major heat sources.
o Operating range (with backup battery): -20°C to +60° o Operating range (without backup battery): -20°C to +80° o Battery will only charge in the range 0°C to +45°C
Ensure that the unit and harness are secured to prevent the harness vibrating differently to
the unit at the harness connectors.
Correct orientation of the unit is important to ensure good GPS reception if the internal GPS
antenna is being used (it is not a problem if the external antenna is used). In this case where the internal antenna is used, the unit should be mounted with the top side (with MiXTelematics engraved) facing up, and the label side down. Additionally, it is advisable to install the unit in a location where the GPS view of the sky is relatively unobstructed by metal. Most vehicle boots for example, may form a metal cage which prevents GPS reception. Under the vehicle bonnet will also not give good performance.
Engraved side facing up
Please note that the voltage of the external relay is rated to the vehicle voltage specification.
Do not run a 12V relay at 24V. The Relay Specifications are:
o Coil current rating: < 250 mA o Coil Voltage Rating: Must match the vehicle battery supply
Please pay attention to the routing course of cables and wiring.
Do not install the product in or near the location of mechanical or electrical airbags.
Do not install the GSM antenna onto any cable or metal parts (it only applies to optional
external GSM).
Do not drill into supporting or stabilizing braces or beams.

4.3 General Wiring Requirements
Note the product’s wire gauge cross-sectional area. If the wire gauge cross-section is reduced, current density increases which may cause the wiring to overheat.
Cables should be routed in existing channels and should not be routed parallel to ignition cables
or other cables subject to high current.
Cables should be fixed with cable-ties or adhesive tape.
Do not route cables over moving parts or too close to the high voltage areas (like the spark
plugs)
Do not fix cables on the steering column.
Ensure that the cables are not exposed to pulling, pressure or shearing deformation.
If the cables are routed through drilled holes, rubber grommets or similar protection should be
used.
Suitable cable-strippers should be used to strip insulating material from cables and cable-
strippers should be adjusted to suit the wire gauge being stripped, to avoid damaging or separating the wire strands.
Cables should only be connected using solder or suitable crimping lugs.
A proper crimping tool should be used on all crimping lugs.
Careful attention must be paid to the manufacturers’ safety regulations for all tools used.
Insulate all exposed wires to prevent short-circuits. Use good quality adhesive tape or heat
shrink (provided).
Connections to vehicle power supply must be installed with a fuse (check if the main harness is
fitted with a fuse).
Be aware that short-circuiting may be caused by faulty connections and crushed or damaged
cables.
Short-circuiting the vehicle’s electrical system may result in fire, explosion of the battery and/or
damage to other electrical systems. To prevent this, all connections carrying current must be soldered and insulated correctly. Other connections such as the speed signal, RPM signal, brake light or clutch switch can be made with crimping lugs.
Incorrect connections can lead to short circuits. Connections should only be made in
accordance with the vehicle’s wiring diagram.
Current and voltage should be measured with a multi-meter or diode test lamp.
The use of inadequate test equipment may result in damage to control devices or other
electrical systems.
Route the harness in such a way as to prevent water condensation that may form on the cable
from running into the unit. This can be achieved by having the harness at a lower point just before it connects to the unit. If the back plate is lower than the rest of the unit, water can accumulate inside the unit with no way to escape and invalidates the IP54 rating. The unit should also never be exposed to direct water spray and jets.
Shortening of antenna wires:
o It would be better to circle/coil excess wires. Avoid sharp bends at the zig/zags. Take
care not to tie coax wires too tight. The coax should not be squeezed or pinched. Using the broadest possible cable tie.
o The best place to circle/coil the wires is about 300 mm in line from the antenna.
8 | Page
o If the GSM and GPS antennas are both coiled, they should be spaced apart. o Refer to section 4.4.7 for more detailed GPS wiring instructions o Refer to section 4.4.8 for more detailed GSM wiring instructions
Avoid
Avoid sharp corners and bends: Use rounded bends:
Avoid coupling between 2 different pieces of wire:
Recommended
Separate coiled wires where possible:
