MLT-400i Installation Guide
Install Antenna
Install Antenna
The
MLT-400i
antennas combine GPS and Iridium satellite antennas. The ANTIR01 is a
permanent mount (see Appendix A for additional information); ANTIR02 is a suction cup
window mount antenna. Proper installation is critical to achieve optimum performance.
Safety Considerations
•
Some locations do not allow suction
mount antennas on the windshield.
Check your local regulations
Determine the Best Location
•
Locate the antenna for an unob-
structed view of the sky, avoid
windscreens, ladder racks and other
radio antennas (minimum radius of 2
feet is recommended)
•
Orient the antenna horizontally
•
Ensure that the antenna GPS cable
connects to the MLT-400i GPS cable
and the Iridium cable connects to the
MLT-400i Iridium cable (they are
color coded blue and black respec-
tively)
•
Apply inspection torque seal if
desired (see below)
•
Check antenna cable length will
reach to desired location; antennas
typically include 12 feet of cable
•
Coil and secure any loose or extra
lengths of antenna cable, do not
allow cables to kink
•
The antenna must be attached to the
MLT-400i prior to attaching power
Tamper Deterrent – Torque Seal
For customers wanting to create a visual tamper deterrent for the OBDII connector, Torque
Seal may be used to create a visual seal. FMS does not endorse or warranty Torque Seal.
•
Apply Torque Seal “across”
desired connectors such as the
OBDII and antenna
•
Torque Seal may be pur-
chased through Organic
Product Company
(http://www.opcompany.com)
•
Do Not
apply Torque Seal in-
side any connector so as to
interfere with electrical
continuity
