Installing the unit
Use location – Children not likely to be present
This equipment design typically applies to commercial or industrial equipment expected to be
installed in locations where only adults are normally present.
Practical installation advice
It is very important to be careful when installing the unit, as incorrect installation will
reduce the quality of the GPS position reports (Ex. Could be a jump in position or
showing speed while parking) or in the worst case scenario will prevent the unit
performing any position reporting at all.
The unit must be mounted either horizontally or vertically (sideways) using either screws or
strips. The unit
must not
be installed with the interface/supply cable hanging down, as this
will reduce the GPS sensitivity.
Optimize the placement of the unit to increase the aerial view (through windows etc.) as
much as possible. For hiding the unit, make sure it is only mounted beneath plastic parts or
similar parts (wood), but not beneath metal parts.
To reduce hum and noise in the FM radio it is recommended to place the unit at a minimum
distance of 20 inches (50 cm) from the radio or the loudspeakers.
Installation for insurance and anti-theft purpose
For an installation of the TU600A with respect to insurance coverage of equipment/items/vehicles
etc. in your country/region please contact your nearest sales office for support as the TU600A
installation must be registered and documented for the local insurance company, the associated
local alarm center.
The installation position in multiple equipment/items/vehicles etc. of the same type must be insured
to be random to increase the theft protection.
It is needed to sign up a different subscription for each installed TU600A unit under insurance
coverage that covers the local alarm center administration of the units.
The local sales office will be able to inform you about the obligations that you have in relation to the
insurance company and how to act in relation to the alarm center while the units are covered by
the insurance.
The unit must NOT be installed beneath metal plates or
inside closed metal compartments. Incorrect installation will
also reduce the standby time of the battery inside the unit
