8 Driver Terminal (DT) Installation
There are two methods for installing the DT. The DT cradle can be attached to an existing
wall in the truck, or it can be attached to the backside of the ITU pedestal mount bracket.
8.1 DT Installation on Truck Wall
1. Determine the best location for the DT. The DT should be located within easy reach
of the driver, but far enough away so that the driver will have to pull over and stop to
respond to a message. Typical locations are on the passenger side dash, behind either
seat, or on the walls of the closet or bunk. On day cabs, install the DT between seats
or on the back wall. The customer should also be consulted when choosing a DT
location.
CAUTION! The DT must be mounted in a sturdy location. The DT cradle
must be attached to a place sturdy enough to hold the DT in place, even
through the roughest driving conditions.
Note: In cab-over-engine tractors, mount the DT on the dash in
front of the doghouse, if possible. Mounting the DT on the back
wall would require the driver to crawl over the motor box
(doghouse) to reach the DT, and mounting it on the doghouse
would require the driver to crawl over the DT to get in and out of
the sleeper.
2. Drill holes. Place the DT cradle at the desired location and mark the
mounting holes. Drill four 19/64" holes for the rivnuts. Use a rivnut
tool to install four #10 - 32 rivnuts.
Note: If space permits, the DT cradle can be attached
directly to the ITU pedestal-mounting bracket.
3. Attach the DT cradle with #10 x 32 screws.
4. Run the DT cable from the DT cradle to the ITU
location. The wide connector on the cable attaches to
the DT and the round connector attaches to the ITU. It
is normally easier to start at the DT and run the cable
from the DT cradle to the ITU. Whenever the cabling
passes through holes between sections of the cab, use a
grommet to prevent wire chaffing.
WARNING! ROUTE THE WIRES AND
CABLES SO THAT DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS WILL NOT
BECOME ENTANGLED IN THEM. MAKE SURE ALL WIRES AND
CABLE ARE HIDDEN AND SECURE.
