6.1 General Recommendations
„
When installing TRAILERCAST, keep the area around the antennas away from metal or other
obstructions as much as possible to help avoid signal disturbance.
„
As ZF cannot document all different trailer configurations, we recommend validating the installation of
the unit with a ZF technician before deploying on a large scale.
„
Make sure that the unit will not be continuously exposed to direct sunlight.
„
Make sure that the label of the unit is always visible.
„
The installation technician remains responsible at all times for the correct installation and connection of
the hardware unit.
„
Always verify that sufficient GPS coverage is guaranteed during installation, and a good GPS position
has been received via https://install.us.wabco-fleet.com/search/?device=trailercast . Check this for every
installation.
6.2 Preferred Installation (Standard Trailer With Fixed Trailer Bed)
„
The unit must be installed below the trailer bed with the front of the TRAILERCAST unit directed to the
ground.
„
Make sure that the front of the unit has a clear view to the ground (not obstructed by other
components).
„
Keep the sides of the unit at a minimum distance of 20 cm from obstacles.
„
Always verify that sufficient GPS coverage is guaranteed and a good GPS position has been
received using https://install.us.wabco-fleet.com/search/?device=trailercast (Section 11 Checking the
Installation, page 24).
