LMU-5000™

Hardware and Installation Guide

Plan The Installation 

Verify Power, Ground and Ignition.

 Be sure to check each source (power, ground and 

ignition) to ensure that the proper signaling exists. This is typically accomplished with a 

multi-meter. 

Before drilling any holes or running any wires, decide where each hardware component 

will be located (LMU, antennas, peripherals, etc.). Be sure that the cables to the LMU are 

not bent or constricted in any way. Also make sure that the LMU is kept free from direct 

exposure to the elements (sun, heat, rain, moisture etc...).  

Be advised that an installation that violates the environmental specifications of the 

LMU will void the warranty.

The best way to ensure a trouble-free installation is to consider your options and make 

some decisions before you start. Take a look at the vehicle and determine how to best 

install the LMU for the following purposes: 

Accurate data gathering and simulation of how customers actually use your 

solution 

Ongoing monitoring and maintenance of LMU equipment 

Accidental or intentional alteration of the equipment or cable connections 

The following sections cover some of the issues to consider when planning your LMU 

installation.
