Installation of the main unit
Basic Tools Needed for Installation
• Metric and standard socket set
• Screwdriver set
• Side cutters, wire cutters
• Knife or box cutter
• Wire strippers
• Hand Crimper for insulated terminals
• Pliers
• Electrical tape
• Automotive upholstery or trim remover
• Flashlight or trouble light
• Cordless drill with accessories
• Assorted common bit set
• Digital Multi meter
It is strongly recommended that a Digital Multi meter be used when probing electrical
systems in the vehicle to avoid any damage to computers or airbag systems.
The HA-GPS-01 may be installed in any type of 12-volt vehicle.
•
To get optimum GPS signal function make sure to install the main unit with the
•
front part facing the sky. (See Fig. 1)
Any metallic objects between the antenna and the satellites will degrade the
•
signal and reduce the overall performance. The GPS signals will travel through
the clear glass but will be reduced if window has any metallic coating or tint
applied.
Some examples of mounting locations include under the dash above the knee
•
bolster, under the centre console, on motorcycle under the seat.
Secure the HA-GPS-01 to the vehicle using
•
supplied double sided tape. Ensure that
HA-GPS-01 and associated cabling is fixed
securely, away from the engine, exhaust and
other sources of heat.
