MOUNTING THE SHOCKLOG CELLULAR
MODULE
Important: The ShockLog Cellular does not require line of site for any communication. However, it must be
able to receive cellular signals. If mounting in a container, ensure that any metal content of the container does
not block cellular reception.
Rule of thumb: If a cell phone works where the ShockLog Cellular is mounted, the device will communicate.
The ShockLog 298 and ShockLog Cellular may be mounted to the mounting plate included with the ShockLog
Cellular. The mounting plate may be attached to the shipment with mounting bolts or magnetic feet (included).
Avoid metal to metal contact when mounting the ShockLog.
It is recommended that you mount the unit prior to starting the ShockLog. This action prevents impacts resulting
from the mounting process from being recorded.
START MONITORING
Once the ShockLog Cellular has been mounted, the unit must be started to begin recording.
If the start date has been preprogrammed, there is no additional action required of the user.
To start recording immediately, it is recommended that the START iButton be used to start the ShockLog.
Remove the black center cap from the ShockLog iButton port and insert the START iButton into the port. When
the iButton LED on the ShockLog is red and the Slot Alarm LED is green, remove the iButton. The unit will start in
one minute.
When an impact event occurs during the journey, an alert will be sent through the web-hosted application and
the ShockLog.
LED Event Alarm will flash red every five (5) seconds for an alarm condition and every ten (10) seconds for a
warning condition.
