INSTALL THE TC1™

BEST MOUNTING PRACTICES

Ensure the installer follows all of the following guidelines for best mounting practices:

Use the standard TC1 mounting bracket (P/N 117-8000-173).

Place the TC1 near the seat, preferably to the left of the seat.

Remove the 2 seat bolts on the left side and install the bracket with TC1 mounted to the rear. Use 

the provided bolts and washers for proper thread engagement.

 

If the installer is unable to attach the TC1 to the seat bolts, attach the TC1 in the cab in a location 

that is free from vibrations.

The TC1 may only be mounted in a horizontal position (with the sticker facing upwards). The 

connectors may be orientated in four directions: 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees.

By default, the orientation of the TC1 is set with connectors pointing towards the rear. Any other 

orientation should be set properly in the accompanying software.

1. Connect the two 12-pin connectors to the TC1.

INSTALL 500S™ OR 700S™

The TC1 can be used with the 500S and 700S.

Ensure the installer follows all of the following guidelines for best installation practices:

Mount the GPS-antenna with the connectors pointing to the backside.

Mount the GPS-antenna in front of the rear axle.

Mount the GPS-antenna on the centerline of the cab/tractor.

When connecting a 500S antenna, use the 500S adapter cable (P/N 115-0172-588).

When connecting a 700S antenna, use the smart antenna adapter cable (P/N 115-0172-589).
