Installation
This section describes the process of installing the Qtanium 400 on a vehicle.
4.1
Before Starting
1.
Check that you have all the components needed to complete your installation.
2.
Identify the best mounting location for the Qtanium 400 and the antennas. Make
sure that the proposed location for the Qtanium 400 provides sufficient space for
easy access to its connectors.
3.
Test the proposed antenna locations, if possible, to check whether they provide the
best performance.
4.
Decide on the most suitable mounting method for your chosen location (screws /
nuts and bolts / magnets).
5.
On the asset, identify where you will connect:
To asset’s chassis/after ground isolator switch (brown wire)
To asset’s battery negative/before ground isolator switch (black wire)
To asset’s +12/24V uninterrupted supply (red wire)
To asset’s ignition/run signal (pink wire).
6.
Check that the power cable is long enough to reach between the power source and
your chosen location for the Qtanium 400.
7.
Check that the antenna cables are long enough to reach between your chosen
locations for the Qtanium 400 and the antennas.
8.
Check that any other cables are long enough to connect the Qtanium 400 to any
other optional devices or sensors.
4.2
Start the Installation
1.
Disable the asset (turn the battery switch OFF or disconnect a battery post).
2.
Mount the antenna and run the antenna cable but do NOT cut it. Where possible,
choose a location where the antenna has a clear view of the sky and is protected
from physical damage. (GPS performance will be impaired if the antenna cannot get
a clear view of the sky).
3.
Run the Qtanium 400 power cable.
