PLACEMENT
1) Ensure that the driver’s view of the road will not be
impacted.
2) Ensure that the equipment will not be in the path of any
active airbags.
3) Ensure that the driver will still have access to all controls on
the dash.
4) Ensure that the driver has a clear view of the terminal from
the seated driving position.
5) Ensure that the terminal is within easy reach of the driver
from the seated driving position.
6) Ensure that the mounting location is a solid surface.
Locations that allow even small amounts of initial movement
will loosen over time.
12
7) Before drilling any holes or using screws, check for vehicle
wiring under the carpet or behind the instrument panel which
could be pinched, cut or otherwise damaged.
8) If mounting through the floor, put body sealer over the
underbody projections. Stamped acorn nuts, filled with
sealer, are available at most body shops for this purpose.
This will keep moisture out of the carpet and insulation and
will forestall rust in this area.
9) If mounting under the instrument panel, be sure that there is
no interference with proper operation of the foot controls.
10) Inquire if the vehicle will be cleaned with a high pressure
water wand. If so, ensure that all equipment is installed
somewhere that will be protected from this type of cleaning.

ConneCTion poinTs
1) SPLICING
T-Taps are not a suitable form of splicing into existing
cabling. All splices must be soldered and glued. Heat
shrink must be used for protection.
2) POWER
Power connections should be made directly to the bat-
tery and fused as close to the battery as possible. Avoid
using a cigarette lighter or “Power Point” receptacles
as power sources. Mentor does not recommend wiring power directly to a vehicle kill switch because the
Ranger will not power down correctly. Appropriate fuses
are provided with the installation equipment.
3) GROUND
The ground point should be that point where the (-)
terminal from the battery is connected to the body. This
connection to the battery is typically a 6 or 8 AWG black
wire connected to the wheelhouse or radiator support.
Do not fuse the ground lead. If the ground-side fuse were
to open, the entire supply current would be conducted
by an alternate current return path, which may cause
the feed line to overheat possibly resulting in damage.
4) SWITCHED IGNITION POWER
It is important to utilize an unused ignition point. Con-
necting to an ignition point that is currently being used
to switch other devices can cause improper operation of
those devices.
There are two methods for interfacing to the vehicle igni-
tion. If neither of these options are possible, then contact
your Mentor project manager and alternate ignition options can be discussed and approved.
19
ConneCTion poinTs
It is highly preferable to find an ignition source that goes high only
when the engine is actually on. If this source cannot be found, an
ignition source that goes high only when the ignition is in the ON
position is the next recommended source.
a) Auxiliary Electrical Panel (Preferred)
Many bus manufacturers will include an auxiliary electrical
panel for interfacing peripheral devices. Below is an example of a common location in buses with a Ford chassis.
One of these terminals will typically be a switched ignition
point. A ring terminal should be used when connecting to
this type of ignition interface point. Ask the local maintenance personnel if you need assistance to find this panel.
20
Figure 6
Example of an Auxiliary
Electrical Panel on a
Ford Van
b) Fuse Panel
An unused ignition activated position in the fuse panel is
another option. This installation requires an Add-A-Circuit
fuse holder as pictured below. It is not acceptable to use a
“fuse sleeve”
ConneCTion poinTs
Figure 7
Add-A-Circuit Installation
5) VSS (VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR FOR ODOMETER PULSES)
Many vehicles have a VSS point which provides a pulse
train from the transmission. Vehicles that do not have a
VSS point with adequate signal characteristics will require
the installation of a transducer. It is the responsibility of the
installer and customer to locate a VSS point or determine
the appropriate location for a transducer. Your Mentor
Systems Engineer may be able to assist in locating suitable
VSS point. He/She can also provide information on the type
of signal that is required for accurate odometer tracking.
21
ConneCTion poinTs
6) EMERGENCY SWITCH (OPTIONAL)
The emergency switch is usually installed somewhere that
would allow for covert operation. This location needs to
be chosen by the customer prior to the start of installation. Mentor will provide a switch if one is required. It is
sometimes possible to use an existing switch already on the
vehicle. Ranger 4.0 requires a normally closed momentary
push button switch with one side connected to the blue
wire (or the wire corresponding to Pin 14 ) on the Ranger
Power Pigtail input/output cable (Part Number 4-CAS-PIGTVEHC24-45_R05).
22
Figure 8
Emergency Switch
The emergency switch is typically installed on the lower left
side of the driver seat.
Always ensure that the connector on the emergency switch
pigtail is strain reliefed off the floor to prevent shorts if water
enters the connector.
Cabling
1) ROUTING
a) Use caution when routing wires between the passenger
and engine compartments to avoid chafing or pinching
the wires. Use grommets over any exposed sharp edges
and strain reliefs to keep wires in place. Seal all holes to
prevent moisture intrusion.
b) Route and secure all under-hood wiring away from mechan-
ical hazards such as exhaust manifolds and moving parts.
c) Maintain as great a distance as possible between mobile
radio power leads and the vehicle’s electronic modules
and wiring. Avoid running power leads in parallel with
vehicle wiring over long distances.
d) If cabling is routed under the instrument panel, be sure
that there is no interference with proper operation of the
foot controls.
2) STRAIN RELIEF
Ensure that there is no strain exerted on cable connectors where
they enter the unit. Avoid placing the unit in a position where
the cable connectors entering the back of the unit are under
pressure or strain of any kind. Ensure the power cable is fully
inserted before replacing the cable cover. In the event of undue
stress or strain on installed cables and connectors, permanent
damage may occur imparing the connections. This may result
in intermittent or complete loss of communication and or power.
Always include strain relief every 2-3 feet on long cable runs.
As the Ranger can be tilted and rotated freely by the driver/user,
cabling should be installed such that moving/adjusting the position
of the unit does not exert any significant stress on the cables.
23
Cabling
3) LABELING
It is important to always label cabling at connection points.
This simplifies maintenance in the future. Using cables with
consistent coloring will also make maintenance easier.
4) CONNECTION TYPES
Acceptable Connection Types
a) Ring Terminals
b) Butt Splices with Self Contained Solder

d) Ranger Inputs (i.e. Emergency Input, etc.)
300V, 105°C PVC, 22AWG stranded
6) ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS
Always ensure that there is adequate voltage at the point
where Ranger is being powered. Compare this voltage to the
voltage at the battery. The two voltages should be almost the
same or a different power point should be chosen closer to
the battery.

anTennas
1) INTERNAL ANTENNAS
Ranger 4.0 contains celullar, WIFI, Bluetooth and GPS antennas.
Cellular, WIFI and Bluetooth antennas are capable of transmitting.
Ranger should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of
20 cm (8”) between the radiator and the operator.
The orientation and mounting location of Ranger4.0 can have an
effect on antenna performace.
To optimize GPS performace, mount the Ranger vertically with a
clear view of the sky.
2) EXTERNAL ANTENNAS
If desired, external WIFI and/or GPS antennas can be used with
Ranger 4.0
26
Specific antenna selection depends on the individual system setup.
Contact Mentor Engineering for assistance in selecting an appropriate
antenna.
Use short lengths of low loss cabling whenever possilbe. WIFI
performace is especailly susceptible to cable losses.
Some importance features to consider are:
Compact construction,
Durability
Weatherproofing
Temperature stability
Mode of Installation
anTennas
Groundplane style antennas are ideally mounted on the centre of a
metal vehicle roof.
Glass mount antennas should be mounted away from metal objects.
When using an adhesive antenna, it is extremely important to make
sure that the surface of the mounting location has been thoroughly
cleaned. Use Isopropyl alcohol to clean the surface just before
securing the adhesive pad.
3) CABLE ROUTING
The antenna cabling has a minimum inside bend radius of 2”. Bending the cable tighter will cause degradation in antenna performance.
Avoid routing the antenna cable in parallel with the vehicle wiring
over long distances.
Do not coil excess antenna cable slack.
