In-Vehicle Installation Guidelines for FOX3-2G/3G/4G and BOLERO40 Series

❖
Depending on the Lantronix product you are using, be careful to select the proper wire length and colour
codes of cable used for installation. For more detailed information, refer to the hardware manual of the
Lantronix product you are using.
❖
To eliminate broadcast signals, reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency
interference (RFI) we recommend to use ferrite clips which should be installed at the end of the cable
closest to the AVL device (see figure below).
Figure 1
: A ferrite clip is placed on the AVL installation cable for reducing electromagnetic interference during the device operation.
❖
All wires of the cable should be firmly secured. Leaving some slack in the wires or bad wire connections
may cause the connections getting loose due to vibration.
❖
The installation cable with fuse should not be under tension. When connecting the installation cable do
not pull on the wire with fuse, you can damage the fuse or lose the connection. We recommend to fix
the fuse case to prevent getting loose due to vibration.
❖
The range of input voltage that may be applied to the Lantronix AVL devices is from +10.8 V ... +32.0 VDC.
Exceeding these ratings could cause damage to the AVL device. To fulfil the range of operating voltage,
Lantronix recommends using the installation cable with the voltage converter called "KNT100V". This
cable can only be used for the vehicles with 24 VDC voltage sources.
❖
All Lantronix AVL devices are not protected internally against over current. Therefore, for safety reasons
and to eliminate over current, all leading lines on an AVL device, such as Continuous plus (clamp 30) or
Ignition (clamp 15), must be externally protected in the following way: nominal protection value in the
direct line maximally 2A (slow-blow-fuse); nominal protection value in the next superordinate circle
maximally 15A. The CE-conformity of the product is given only under adherence to these electrical
operating conditions. The disregard of these electrical operating conditions leads to an offence against
the EN/IEC 60950-1, particularly against the regulations to the reduction of the fire risk.
❖
Improper wiring can damage the device and the vehicle's wiring system.
❖
Your device installation should be checked periodically to maintain proper operation with your vehicle.

Installation guidelines
❖
Do not mount the Lantronix device or the antenna connected to the device near the electronic devices
and control systems such as speakers, fan motors or actuators. In particular, devices with internal
antenna react sensitively with interferences on the GPS receiver.
❖
Do not mount the Lantronix device, antenna, or any other item in the deployment path of the airbag
system.
