3.10 Antennae Installation
The information found in this sub-chapter may be found in the FCS1362:2016 UK CODE OF PRACTICE for the installation of mobile radio
and related ancillary equipment in land based vehicles. Please use this document for further details. Please see Appendix Chapter 16 General
Antennae Guidelines for more information.
3.10.1 GPS antenna Installation (Included)
The GPS antenna needs to have an unimpeded view to the sky. The antenna positioning and orientation is critical to ensure effective
operation. Horizontally mounted on a metal plate is optimum.
3.10.2 Wi-Fi antenna (Depending on Model)
Before a magnetic mount antenna is fitted both the underside of the base and the selected body panel surface should always be cleaned
to avoid damage to the paint work.
➢
They must be directly placed on a flat area of steel
➢
They should not have any other material inserted between the magnetic base and vehicle body other than a protective pad or boot
supplied by the antenna base manufacturer. This is to avoid reduction in the magnetic retention strength and any effect on the
coupling to the ground plane.
3.10.3 Mobile Network antenna (Depending on Model)
On-glass antennas must be:
➢
securely fitted and fixed away from any metal which could deflect the signal
➢
located such that driver visibility is not impaired
➢
avoid heated screen elements
➢
mounted outside of the swept area of the windscreen
Step 1
Remove the MCU and open the expansion
module door to access the SIM card slot.
Insert the SIM card and push the SIM to lock
the SIM securely in place.
Step 2
Ensure an earthing strap is worn to prevent any
damage to the PCB. Undo the screw on the
rear panel (shown above left). Undo the two
screws on the front panel of the expansion
module (shown above right).
Step 3
Open expansion module door. Pull
gently towards you to remove the
expansion module. Insert the new
expansion module by ensuring the
base plate is sliding into the base
grooves of the MDR.
This modular design allows for easy
upgrading or downgrading of 8 channel
MDR units. To upgrade to a mobile
network/Wi-Fi solution, users need to
swop the MDR-508xx-EXP to a model
with these features.
