CONNECTING THE SHOCKLOG
RECORDER TO THE SATELLITE MODULE
The ShockLog Satellite satellite module and the ShockLog must be connected prior to use. A plug on the satellite
module covers the communication port between the module
and the ShockLog.
Prior to use, the satellite module will show OFF on the end of the module.
Unscrew the plug and remove.
Connect the black connector / cable to the communication port of the satellite module.
Keep the plug in a safe place as it will be used to turn the device off when not in use.
MOUNTING
IMPORTANT: When mounting the ShockLog Satellite hardware, care must be taken to allow for line of sight to
the sky. Failure to do so will result in compromised satellite communication.
It is recommended that you mount the unit prior to starting it. This action prevents any impacts being recorded
that are a result of the mounting process.
Find a suitable mounting location on the asset with line of sight to the sky.
The ShockLog Satellite has x, y, and z axes noted on the unit. If the mounting of the ShockLog Satellite does not
allow you to match the axes of the unit, it is advisable to make a note of the exact mounting in order to correctly
analyze the reported impact values.
The ShockLog Satellite uses magnets for mounting. Grasp the unit in the positions noted by “Hold Here.” Position
two magnets in place and then carefully roll the last two magnets into position.
Magnetic mounts are intended for temporary mounting.
