G100 Iridium Hybrid
Installation and Test Guide
Rev 1.0 - 2 November 2018
1
INTRODUCTION
Digital Matter supply a G100 with Iridium option. The device uses 3G for communication
when in coverage and will transmit a subset of its data over satellite when out of coverage.
The full telemetry will be uploaded upon returning to 3G coverage.
An install requires the Iridium antenna to be mounted, and sometimes they are installed with
either an in-cab or wireless duress pendant (not supplied by DM)
This guide is to assist in the installation and setup of both the physical wiring in of the device
and set up on the platform. It runs through the testing as well.
NB: If a connector is set in OEM, and the device is not active in the end software
platform this connector is pointing to, the OEM installer page (see section 4.2) will not
display the correct information. Ensure the connector is cleared or the device is set
up in the end platform (preferred) before installation.
Section 3 is to be completed by the reseller, Section 4 onwards is for installers.
