In-Vehicle Installation Guidelines for FOX3-2G/3G/4G and BOLERO40 Series
11
Additional installation instructions when using features of the built-in 3D acceleration sensor:
To use the features of the built-in 3D acceleration sensor, please ensure:
1.
The device should be accurately installed on any flat surface that is parallel to the horizontal axis of
your vehicle with the 16pin connector (for FOX3) or antenna cables pointing to the driving direction.
2.
The device should be secured to the vehicle so that no false events can be occurred.
3.
The device should be configured by additional alarms to fully use this feature. The force value that
you will enter in the configuration should correspond to the value that your application requires.
4.
The value in the configuration should be entered without commas or points (e.g. 1500).

Please note that, the pictures below shows that the Z-axis are vertical and pointing up (positive up) and the
X- and Y-axes lie on a horizontal plane. The arrows show always positive values.

Installing DISCO-B4
The DISCO-B4 contained in a PA6 plastic weatherproof enclosure is designed for mounting on an exterior flat
surface of a vehicle such as the roof. After you have inserted the SIM card inside the device and the casing is
completely water-sealed, then you can install your device on the vehicle's roof or somewhere else on the flat
surfaces. The DISCO-B4 device can be installed in various ways. The following figure gives an example of a
typical installation variant. Before you start the installation, ask for professional advice on the mounting that
would best suit your needs.
To install the DISCO-B4, follow the steps listed below:
✓
Place the six rubber feet into the six spacers of the device.
✓
Installing of the DISCO-B4 requires drilling to your vehicle roof in order to bolt them on. To avoid keeping
the device in direct contact to the sunlight that leads to overheating, it is recommended to mount the
DISCO-B4 device behind the air deflector on your truck roof. Therefore, locate the mounting place and
drill a 32 mm (±0.1mm) hole in the vehicle roof. The device should be placed away from other installed
devices that may obstruct the line of sight between the device and the satellites.
✓
First loosen the mounting nut on the device's bottom side and take it out of cable.
✓
Pass the cables through the hole and then place the device on the mounting surface. The rubber feet
must make full contact with the vehicle's metal roof.
✓
Pass the cable in the nut and then tighten the mounting nut until movement is blocked. The maximum
tightening torque used on the mounting nut must not exceed the maximum value of 12 Nm,
recommended 10 Nm.
