Antenna Installation Dos and Don’ts

DO

 Use only the supplied (or WebTech approved) antennas designed

for the correct frequencies.

 Mount GPS antennas with a maximum view to the sky.

 Mount antennas outside and on the vehicle roof (where possible).

 Mount antennas securely. With through-hole installations, confirm

the installation is water tight (use silicone sealant).

DON'T

 Don't mount antennas in areas with limited space for a ground

plane. Ground planes should provide at least 6" (15cm) of metal in
all directions.

 Don't mount antennas close to another antenna. Provide as much

distance between antennas as possible. This includes the
GSM802.11g and GPS.

 Don't mount antennas where they are covered or blocked by

metal.

 Don't mount antennas close to people. Antennas should be

mounted where vehicle occupants will be separated from the
radiating element by at least 8" inches (20 cm).

 Don't mount antennas where they are close to electronic

management and control systems.

 Don't mount GPS antennas where they will be on an angle. They

should be horizontal to see as much sky as possible.

 Don't run the GPS antenna cable to the roof of a vehicle through

the door. The vehicle door will eventually sever the cable and lose
connection between the GPS and Locator.

 Don't tightly kink or wrap excess cable. Be careful not to trap any

cables when refitting trims to the vehicle.

 Don't over tighten the connection between the antenna and the

Locator. Ensure that the antenna is not loose. E.g. hand tighten
then use a wrench to tighten another 1/8 of a turn (approximately).

3-6 WebTech Wireless Inc.

GPS Antenna Installation

If the installation is covert also go to Covert GPS Antenna Installation on
page 3-8.

Important The GPS antenna must be facing up.

Locator Antenna Installation

Figure 3-1 GPS antenna mounted on a roof and facing up to the sky

Note Be careful when placing, moving or removing the magnetic-mount

antenna. Do not drag it across the metal surface as this will damage the
finish of the vehicle.

Installing the GPS Antenna

1. Determine the optimal location for the GPS antenna. Place and
mount the magnetic GPS antenna (square black antenna) on an area
of the vehicle where there is no obstruction of the sky, for example

 On the vehicle roof or

 Under a non-metallic dash in a vehicle with a sufficiently sloped

windshield.

2. Run the antenna cables to meet the Locator.

3. Confirm that the GPS has a fix (solid or flashing green LED) (refer to
LED Definitions and Checkpoints on page 4-16).

4. Secure the magnetic GPS antenna to the mounting area with
adhesive, e.g. silicone. Or consider installing a through-hole mount
antenna.

5. Secure cables using cable ties and mounts where applicable.

WebTech Wireless Inc. 3-7

WT5800 Installation Guide

Covert GPS Antenna Installation

Important Test the GPS thoroughly under operational conditions.

Also go to 802.11g Antenna Installation on page 3-9.

The following must be considered with respect to the antenna's location.
These considerations apply to

 All installations where it is essential the GPS antenna is hidden

from view.

 Car and small truck installations where the Locator may be hidden

from view and installed under the dashboard or behind the stereo
system.

 Larger trucks with sloped front windscreen or fiberglass rooftop

coated with a non-metallic paint.

Covert GPS Antenna Location

 Ensure the view of the sky is as wide as possible.

 Ensure the field of view is not obscured by any metallic object

(including front windscreens with heating, UV filters or metallic
tints).

 Point the top of the antenna towards the field of view.

 Enhance signal strength by mounting directly onto metal.

Optimal Covert GPS Antenna Mounting Locations

 Under the front or rear window of the vehicle.

 Under the dash lining.

 Under a non-metallic parcel shelf.

 In an instrument or light cluster.

Electrical Safety & Wiring Guidelines

Electrical Safety

Locate or confirm power sources prior to
disconnecting the vehicle battery.

Disconnect the vehicle battery prior to making any
electrical connections.

Important Safety Guidelines Include:

 Consult the vehicle manufacturer guidelines regarding

disconnection of the vehicle battery or when making
supplementary electrical connections.

 Before disconnecting a battery, understand the consequences to

that vehicle, e.g. radio codes need to be available and know the
reset procedure for airbag systems, ECU's etc.

 Remove or cover any jewelry if working on live electrical systems.

 Don't test electrical circuits using a test lamp. Use a high

impedance multi-meter with both voltage and resistance ranges.

 Don't tamper with or disconnect the air bag or SRS electrical

harness.

4-10 WebTech Wireless Inc.

Electrical Wiring Guidelines

Read these guidelines before preparing the harness.

Use appropriate pick-up points for power wiring

Important Don't splice into individual lines going to other electrical devices that

exhibit substantial momentary voltage drops.

 For example, wires going to heating mirrors or a vehicle's

charging indicator are particularly susceptible.

If possible wire to a power bar or suitable common terminal connection
point.

 Use a multi-meter to confirm +12 V DC or +24 V DC (9 to 30 Volts)

power. Do not use a test lamp.

Battery connection (red wire)

 Ensure uninterrupted power to the Locator (supply voltage under

9Vdc) when the engine is being started.

 Connect to a continuous +12V DC or +24V DC (9 to 30 Volts) supply.

 Take from the secondary side of the main distribution fuse from the

vehicle battery. Do not share a fused supply to any other equipment.

 Fuse the line at source to provide protection against shorting of the

wiring harness (the Locator is internally protected).

Electrical Safety & Wiring Guidelines

Negative Ground (Earth) connection (black wire)

 Always connect directly to a dedicated earth point within the vehicle

electrical system.

 Use a unique earth point.

 When required, create a suitable earth point where no corrosion will

occur. A duplicate connection with other systems could cause a build
up in contact resistance.Supply voltage problems may occur and
result in erratic Locator operation.

 Avoid earth points that also serve engine management ECU, ABS or

air bag systems etc.

Ignition connection (yellow wire)

Important To prevent incorrect operation, ensure the power is not interrupted for

more than 5 seconds when the engine is started (supply voltage under
9Vdc).

 Connection to an ignition signal which goes positive +12V DC or

+24V DC (9 to 30 Volts) when the key is in the "run" position and is
removed or goes to ground when the key is in the "off" position.

WebTech Wireless Inc. 4-11

WT5800 Installation Guide

Solder Connections

Important Ring connectors are ONLY acceptable for ground point and when

Ensure wiring is correct

connecting to power bars with screws. No other crimp connectors are
acceptable.

 Wire should be fully inserted into the connector with insulation intact -

don't leave bare wire exposed

 If wires are combined, ensure the connector can handle the resulting

gauge.

 Be sure to crimp connectors properly with the correct sized crimp

tool. Confirm the physical connection is solid.

 Solder the wire to the crimped connection.

 Use toothed washers where bolting connectors to the vehicle. Make

sure the ground connection is solid and reliable.

It is critical that the ignition wire is connected to the
vehicle ignition wire and not to the battery.

Don't Use Quick Taps

Quick taps

 Are not good for critical power supply connections.

 Cut into the connected wire, reducing the life of the wire and

reducing its voltage and current handling capabilities.

 Increase the risk of corrosion and crush-type wiring failures.

Note Vehicle vibrations will eventually separate a quick tapped wire from the

Locator, losing connection to the unit.

Don't leave cut wires exposed

 Check for accidentally cut wires, which can damage vehicle wiring or

devices, and cause a fire.

 Tape or heat-shrink all wire cuts so there is no risk of shorting or

corrosion.

 If a splice is necessary, strip-away a small portion of the insulation,

solder the wires then protect by using electrical tape to re-insulate.

 Don't leave free connector contacts or pins exposed. Tape or properly

terminate all connectors.

4-12 WebTech Wireless Inc.

Route cables properly

 Never put cabling where it will be stepped on, e.g. under rugs or

mats.

 Never wire in areas that will retain moisture. E.g. insulation under the

carpet holds water and can be damp, making wiring connections
highly susceptible to corrosion.

 Never put cable where a passenger or driver's feet rest on top of the

wires.

 Never run the GPS antenna cable to the roof of a vehicle through the

door. The vehicle door will eventually sever the cable.

 Where possible secure wiring in the wiring channel provided by the

vehicle manufacturer. Use split looms and grommets where
appropriate.

 Tie wrap and tape cables (or cable tie mounts) to keep secure.

Appendix A

Terminology and Background

This section provides an overview of WLAN terminology that will assist
with the configuration of a WebTech Wireless Locator to a WLAN. It is not
intended to provide users with in-depth instructions to set up a WLAN.

What are WIFI, WLAN and WAP?

WI FI is the name for a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). WIFI
communication technology is synonymous with the IEEE 802.11 family of
wireless networking standards, which includes the three established
standards 802.11b, 802.11a and 802.11g. The WT5800 Locator uses the

802.11g standard.

A Wireless Access Point (WAP) is a component of a WLAN. It is a device
that connects wireless communication devices to a broadband router
(Router).

Terminology and Background

Important The WLAN must be set up prior to configuring the Locator(s) and before

vehicle installation.

Note Follow the manufacturer's instructions to set up the WAP Router. An

internet connection is required for the Router setup and it needs the
DHCP server enabled, with default firewall settings recommended.

Note To maximize a WLAN signal range requires several placement

considerations, e.g. the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings,
or other objects may limit the range of the signal. Typical ranges vary
depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio
frequency) noise. Refer to the Manufacturer's instructions for more
information.

WebTech Wireless Inc. A-1

WT5800 Installation Guide

What is a HyperTerminal?

Why Is the Locator Configured to the WAP (the
Router)?

Note These instructions apply to a HyperTerminal operating in a Windows XP

environment.

HyperTerminal is a software communications program that is standard
with the installation of a Microsoft Windows operating system. It is a tool
used to connect other computers and devices together. The
HyperTerminal is also used for testing modems and other terminal
equipment, in this case, the WT5800 Locator.

The Locator collects information using GPS technology. This information
is stored on the Locator until it is transmitted to the Webtech Wireless
Quadrant server. The WLAN enables this transmission of data.

The Locator must identify the correct WAP device (the Router) to which
the data will be transmitted. The unique identifier (SSID) and the
corresponding encryption (WEP) enable the two devices to communicate
with each other. See Set up and Open HyperTerminal on page B-1 for
more information.

What is a Service Set Identifier (SSID)?

Each device in a wireless network MUST use the same
SSID or the wireless network will not function
properly.

The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the unique name assigned to the
wireless network. The SSID in the Router has a factory default setting.

Important Hackers know wireless factory defaults.

 Change the SSID default to a unique identifier and change it

periodically.

 Disable SSID broadcast.

While setting up the Router, write down the new and unique SSID for use
during Locator configuration.

 If the unique SSID is lost or forgotten, consult the Router manual

to find out how to recover or change it.

A-2 WebTech Wireless Inc.

Terminology and Background

What is Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)?

Each device in a wireless network MUST use the same
WEP key or the wireless network will not function
properly.

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a method of encrypting network data
transmitted on a wireless network. The WEP encryption key must be set
(and matched) in both the Router and in the Locator. This is done through
HyperTerminal (refer to Configuring the Locator(s) Using HyperTerminal
on page B-4).

The Locator uses two encryption types.

1. WEP 64-bit encryption requires an entry of exactly 10 hexadecimal
characters (the HEX key).

2. WEP 128-bit encryption requires an entry of exactly 26 hexadecimal
characters (the HEX key).

 Valid HEX key characters are "0" to "9" and "A" to "F".

While setting up the Router, write down the new and unique WEP key for
use during Locator configuration.

 If the unique WEP key is lost or forgotten, a new one must be set

up on the Router.

Set Up & Configure the Locator With HyperTerminal

Laptops with USB Ports - Purchase USB to Serial
Converter Adapter

Most laptop models come with only USB ports (i.e. no serial port). The
HyperTerminal and Locator configuration requires a serial to modem
connection (i.e. a COM port).

Purchase a USB to serial converter adapter cable, which will create a
serial to modem connection (e.g. a COM port).

Note The COM port made available after installation of the USB to serial cable

driver is usually a higher number COM port, e.g. COM4.

Once the adapter is installed on the laptop, continue with Setting up
HyperTerminal on page B-1.
