TGX Mounting
Choose an in-vehicle mounting location that supports the safety of vehicle occupants and helps prevent
damage to the TGX. Ensure the location and mount results meet the requirements listed below.
•
Supports the intended routing, restraint, and enclosure of each 4 m long (
13.1 ′
long) power and
antenna cable.
•
Supports the weight of the unit and any added vehicle vibration that may occur during operation.
•
Provides access to the installed unit for the connection or disconnection of cables.
•
Provides access to view the installed
unit’s LED lights.
•
Allows vehicle occupants to enter, exit, and be seated without disturbing the unit or its cables.
•
Is unobtrusive to the vehicle operator and his or her field of view.
•
Ensures no objects can be placed on top of the unit or its cables.
•
Provides protection from moisture and excessive dust, dirt, and heat.
•
Uses up to six
fasteners in the mounting plate’s predrilled holes,
including the four corner holes.
Cable Installation
There are two distinct phases to cable installation: setup, then connection. IMPORTANT: Complete all
setup and connection tasks in the order shown below with the vehicle engine
off
.

Setup
No connections are made during setup
. Setup includes only the rooftop placement of antenna modules and
the routing and restraint of the antenna and power cables.
Antenna module placement
To help prevent damage to the antenna modules and maintain their magnetic properties, avoid dropping
the modules or subjecting them to significant physical impact.
When working with the antennas, the following also apply.
•
Do not alter the modules or their cables.
•
Do not drill or abrade the items; in powdered form, their magnet material is highly flammable.
•
Use protective gloves and eyewear to avoid a potentially severe pinch injury, cut, or splinter.
To help prevent damage to the vehicle surface, gently place the antenna modules. When moving a module,
do not slide the item; rather, lift it then gently replace it.
