Installation Guide

2.2 Installation Site

The installation can be performed in any well ventilated and well lit area as found in a car dealership or accessory installation bay. There is no requirement to raise the vehicle. To obtain the first GPS lock, a clear view of the sky is required, which should be considered if designing a custom install centre. A GPS repeater can be used to obtain a signal inside a building.

Care should be taken to avoid scratching the vehicle during the installation process. Protective clothing and vehicle covers should be used.

Installations are also performed on the customers home or office site, so a portable installation toolkit is required.

2.3 Unit Location

Your T23 FLEET unit can be mounted anywhere inside your vehicle or boat where the unit will not get wet and not exposed to excessive heat. The most common locations are behind the dashboard, under the centre consol e, and under a side panel in the back of the vehicle. Pick a location where you can secure the unit firmly to prevent any rattling sounds after installation.

2.4 Antenna Location

In order for GPS to function correctly, the GPS antenna should have a signal quality of 60% or higher in order to receive data from the satellites. Example, if the vehicle is parked in a metal-clad building then the performance of the T23 FLEET platform may be impeded. Whenever possible, it is preferred to park the vehicle in a location where the antenna will have a clear all round view of the sky during installation time t o t est the signal strength.

The antenna and wires should be hidden from view by the installer. Common locations are:

• Under the dashboard as far to the front of the vehicle as possible

• Under the plastic cover near the windshield wipers

• Under the plastic cover of the front or rear bumpers

• In the license plate lamp (on SUV types)

• In the side mirrors (when space permits)

Places to avoid are:

• Under the roof or roof posts

• Under rear window defogger wires

2.5 Personal Assistance Button Location

It is recommended that the Personal Assistance Butto n, when fitted, is located within easy reach and visibility of the vehicle driver, or where required in a covert location. Typically it will be fitted into a blank switch position.

2.6 Installation without Internal Backup Battery

T23 Fleet works without internal backup battery. Power is supplied through IO cable pins 1 and 3 for example from the vehicles main lead battery. Note that unit shut down immediately if no power supply present.

Page 6

Installation Guide

2.7 Internal/External Backup Battery

Internal Li-Polymer backup battery can handle temperatures up to 65 °C (149 ºF). In countries with hot climate this can be an issue. To ensure device proper functionality, it is highly recommended to use external lead battery backup, please see Tramigo accessories. The internal backup battery can be removed and backup power is supplied from external lead battery. The external backup battery power is supplied trough pins 2 and 4.

Note: If external backup battery is used, do not use internal backup battery at the same time.

2.8 Recommended Installation Sequence

The following installation sequence is recommen d ed. Please refer to the instructions elsewhere in this document for further details.

1. Plan the whole installation and de termine suitable locations, mounting ar rangements and cable routes for all hardware items.

4.3 T23 FLEET Wiring and Connections

Important Notes!

Unauthorized changes or alterations to the equipment or the installation will invalida te certification issued by the Approved Accreditation Body and could also affect the vehicle manufacturer’s warranty. If in doubt only connect T23 FLEET to the vehicle power.

All wiring should be safely secured to avoid damage from, or chaffing by, any hot or moving parts. Position the wiring carefully to avoid the possibility of snagging or impact damage during the

normal use of the vehicle. Before any holes are drilled, check that no parts, wires, pipes or tanks could be damaged at the

other side of the hole. Suitable grommets must be used where wires are routed through body panels to prevent short circuits to the chassis. Leave in-line fuses out of holders until the installatio n is complete.

Cable Assemblies

The T23 FLEET has one IO cable/Immobilizer (12/24V) for power, ignition sensing or external personal assistance button.

When you configure the T23 FLEET you will be able to carry out tests to determine whether suitable GSM and GPS signals are being received. I f in doubt about the suitability of your planned location, it is recommended that you only install it temporarily until you are able to carry out the appropriate configuration tests, check chapter 3.3.1 for detailed s teps.

4.4 Power Connection

T23 FLEET I/O cable is used to connect to permanent vehicle power in the fuse box or directly to the car battery. Take a new line which is NOT used to any other car application. Permanent power source has to be selected carefully

Make sure that there is NO sound from the device when selecting specific power line. NOT all power lines are suitable.

Wire Colour Description Notes Red Vehicle Supply Positive (+ve) Connect to a permanent Positive supply (6 to

24V)

pin 7 or pin 8 wire

Red Vehicle Supply Positive (+ve) Connect other end of s ensor motor to a

positive supply from car (low voltage recommended) Note: Be sure that serial 39kOhm/0.125W basic resistor is installed

Or this maybe the same a s when connecting the SOS/ATB or Ignition input. Any sensor that has a digital circuit can be used.

4.8 GPS External Antenna Option

This option is needed when it is not possible to install the T23 FLEET in a location where the internal GPS antenna will work. This option allows the antennas to be located in a different location within the vehicle.

The GPS antenna should be positioned horizontally and located in a position where it will have over 60% signal quality. The ideal location in most cars is in the underside of the dashboard; however, it is important to ascertain that there are no conductive materials present in the construction of the d ashboard prior t o fitting the antenna.

The GPS antenna must have the black side facing toward the sky. The flat side with the magnet faces the ground.

Important Note!

The performance of th e equi pment may be impeded if the an te nn a i s mounted beneath or in very close proximity to electrically conductive materials, such as metal, certain types of plastic, metalled film or laminate (tinted) windscreens. If this applies to your vehicle please install the antenna elsewhere.

Installation Guide

4.9 T23 FLEET 24V Installation

Older truck installations which have bee n measured to provide constantly more than 24V can cause unwanted behaviour, such as, T23 FLEET unit stops charging due to damaged I/O p ort; or unit stops responding; or unit hangs.

Recommended Solution:

1. If possible , locat e the vehicle’s regulated power supply (which covers the radio and other electronic devices) and tap from that source. Usually, the power from that node is only 14V or less and is more stable because it is regulated compar ed to those connected directly from the batteries.

2. Use resistors if step 1 is not available, a 30 watts*, 35 Ohms resistor will lower the current of the battery to your adaptor, protecting it from high current spikes.

Tip: Choose the resistor with heat sink; this will help lower the heat

3. Use terminals or Positaps to tap wires safely. This will r educe risk of fires and car warranty issues.

4. “Good grounding” is very important. Poor grounding may result to undercharging and T23 FLEET accessories will not work normally. To achieve good grounding, me asure the resistance of the chassis and compare it directly to the battery’s negative terminal. The closer the

reading to the battery’s reference impedance, the more ideal is the grounding.

5. Check the installation wiring. Always measure the total voltage to check for its voltage drop. Important Note: Lo os e w ire ta p ping should be re-soldered to avoid heat and power loss.

6. Insulate all wires to avoid short circuit with automotive electr ical tape or heat shrinks.

7. Remove the car battery before any welding or work to do on the engine. This will avoid voltage spikes that will damage the T23 FLEET and its accessories.

8. Jump start using another vehicle (espe cially dual batteries) can cause a power spike. The T23 FLEET must be disconnected first from power supply to avoid short circuit.

Installation Guide

7 Mount

Tips: You now have an opt ion to install the T23 FLEET units without the battery. This installation can

be done in areas where temperature exceeds the battery operation range of 60°C.

There are 2 primary methods of mounting the T23 FLEET unit:

1. Use the 4 screw holes to attach to a flat surface inside the vehicle. Use self drilling sheet-

metal screws, diameter max ST 4,2 mm, length about 20mm, cross recessed, pan head.

2. Use double-sided automotive grade tape to attach the case to the vehicle.

You may choose to mount the T23 FLEET somewhere covertly e.g. under the dashboard, but in all cases the T23 FLEET GPS antenna must be placed such that sufficient signal quality is available to the antenna to allow for GPS signal reception from the orbiting GPS satellites and cellular radio communications with the mobile radio netw ork. GPS signals do not pass through metal or electrically conductive material.

Figure 4 - T23 FLEET Automotive Installation/Wires Connected

Check your windscreen: Should the windscreen be provided with heating that us es a metal film or

fine wires built into the windscreen, or features a special heat reflecting athermic layer, then the GPS signal will be screened off from the T23 FLEET.

The T23 FLEET should then be mounted at the side of the windscreen where there is sometimes a special zone free of the metallization.

If this does not work, then you can place the external GPS antenna under the windshield wipers, front or rear bumpers, or any location where o nly plastic covers the antenna. If you need to run the GPS antenna cable through the engine compartment, use a standard plastic automotive grade shrouding to protect the cable.

TIPS: T23 FLEET GPS antenna comes with new FAKRA connector and may not fit on smaller holes during the installation. You have the option to remove it so the GPS antenna would still fit according the desired location then after the installation, return back the FAKRA connector in reverse steps of how you removed it.

Page 18

Installation Guide

7.1 How to remove FAKRA from GPS antenna:

1. Pull out the Fa kra lock (black) using a pair of tweezers.

2. Gently pull the GPS cable o ut from the Fakra connector.

Window Tinting

GPS signals are blocked by metal surfaces which can include some brands of window film that contain metal particles. To ensure that GPS, cell phone, smart tag, and radio reception is not affected either:

1. Use a non-metallic tint

2. Avoid tinting the front windshie ld where the T23 FLEET unit is located (World wide le g islative

trend is to ban windshield tinting due to increased risk of accidents)

3. Leave a 15 cm gap at the bottom of the windshield and place the T23 FLEET by this opening.

This still provides security for vehicle occupants.

4. Use the External GPS Antenna a nd place the GPS antenna under the front bumper or under

the windshield wipers – as long as the antenna is not covered by metal.

The list of good quality non-metallic film includes the 3M film, Madico CharcOOl (not Madico CharcOAl), Huper Optik Ceramic (Stark), and FormulaOne Pinnacle (ceramic film). Costs for good quality metallic film is similar to non-metallic film.

WARNINGS:

• T23 FLEET should be installed in a cool place where air can pass through to

avoid unit overheating.

• If you are to install T23 FLEET under the dashboard, make sure that upper or

lower base of the unit is touching the surface to allow air to pass through as stated above.

• Your T23 FLEET must be securely mounted in a location where it cannot

interfere with the normal operatio n of the vehicle. It must not be located in a position where the cables or the T23 FLEET Unit may become a hazard to the driver or any passengers.

• Under no circumstances may any part of the T23 FLEET system be insta lled

inside the engine compartment area. (except the GPS antenn a cable)

light goes off then the tinting is blocking the signal. Either change the tinting in the windshield or install the optional external GPS antenna outside the vehicle.

Unit has been moved a large distance

without a location fix. Example: on a flight or train trip.

Remove and re-insert the battery to reset the

location.

Problem: Time stamp in the SMS reports is wrong

Possible Cause:

Resolution:

T23 FLEET requires a GPS fix to determine the time zone and connection to the GSM network to determine the time. Time will show 00:00 Jan 01 on first use.

Wait for the GPS and GSM lights to go off then send the unit an SMS to check the time.

GSM Operator time is incorrect Use the TIME command to override the GSM

time. Some GSM operators have problems with DST and roaming phones.

Problem: Trip end report late and shows long idle time

Possible Cause: Resolution:

Motion detector is detecting movement and unit thinks trip is still active.

Reduce sensitivity of motion detector, or locate motion detector in different location.

Problem: Trip reports are recei ved when vehicle is parked

Possible Cause:

Resolution:

Vehicle is parked with a limited view of the

sky so the GPS signa ls are weak and bounce off the buildings. This can ge ner ate short trip reports.

Turn off trip reporting when in these

locations. If you are not interested in short trip reports

Increase the minimum trip distance to 1 km or higher

Set,MinTripDistance,1000

Problem: Vehicle shows as parked, but its moving

Possible Cause:

Resolution:

Your T23 FLEET will report a state of Parked when a Trip has not been started which takes 300m, so if a FIND or any other report is received during this time, it will show the vehicle as “Parked”.

None. Once a Trip Start is detected, the vehicle state will change to moving or stopped
