All of the issues in the fleet, active and historical, are easily viewed and organized, using the systems that fleets are most comfortable with, such as email. For each vehicle issue, the portal gives recommended actions for resolution. For an understanding of the bigger picture, we distill the data into analytical reports to visualize the trends in the fleet. Halo Connect Gateway The Halo Connect Gateway is comprised of a durable enclo-
sure that is secured in the cab of the vehicle. It uses a built-in LTE cellular connection to send data to the cloud, TPMS to talk to the sensors, and a bluetooth connection to talk to mobile devices. It also has GPS, which notifies the location in which a vehicle issue transpired. Halo Connect mobile application The Android mobile application makes installation and configu-
ration of the Gateway and sensors seamless, requiring just two data matrix scans per install. The app allows you to choose between various truck configurations, register the vehicle in our system, and add or replace sensors. 5 Getting started SYSTEM COMPONENTS HALO Connect Gateway Pack of Halo Connect sensors Power cable with mini fuse connector TPMS cable TPMS antenna Cellular antenna GPS antenna INSTALLATION TOOLS 5/16" Hex Head Screwdriver Torx Screwdriver (or Other, as needed, to access fuse panel) Wire Crimper Cutters (for cutting zip ties) MOUNTING PARTS

Determine where to put Gateway Select a location to permanently attach the Gateway box inside the cab of the vehicle. Consider that the Gateway will have power and antenna ca-
bles attached to it that need to be routed to locations specified in later steps. See step 5 for further instructions on attaching the Gateway to the vehicle. Before attaching the Gateway box to the vehicle review the entire install procuedure and ensure the antenna and power cables are safely routed to the recommended locations. Other Gateway placement considerations include:
Gateway should be accessible for maintenance. Does not interefere with passenger access or storage. Protected from spills and passenger movement in vehicle. Does not interfere with seatbelts. Allows for permanent attachment using self tapping screws or other secure attachment based on fleet preference. BEST GATEWAY LOCATION Inside cab of vehicle. Behind and below seat. 7 HALO CONNECT INSTALLATION, CONT'D 2. locate power source and ground In order for the vehicle's tires to be monitored 24 hours, the Gateway power cable should be connected to a 24 hour con-
tinous 12-20V power source and be securely grounded to the vehicle chassis. A mini add-a-fuse connector is included with the Gateway. If using this add-a-fuse, locate the vehicle's fuse box and select the power and ground locations. Use a voltmeter to test the power source and ground with the ignition on and off to ensure that the voltage of the chosen fuse slot is correct and continuous.. If you are using a different power connection be sure to add a fuse to the positive power cable. Fuse Rating: 1 Amp 1 The positive wire of the power cable must be fused. An un-fused power cable may over-heat and lead to a vehicle fire. 8 HALO CONNECT INSTALLATION, cont'd 3. attach TPMS antenna to vehicle The TPMS antenna must be placed outside on the rear of the vehicle and the cable needs to be routed back to the Gateway. Find an opening in the cab to route the antenna cable from the Gateway to the outside of the vehicle. Once the cable is routed, attach the TPMS antenna to the end of the TPMS antenna cable and securely attach the TPMS an-
tenna to the outside of the vehicle using at least two zip ties. Expected vehicle operation must be considered when routing the TPMS antenna to avoid damage to the antenna. Make sure the antenna is routed so it won't be excessively stretched or cut when the vehicle turns or when the suspension is compressed. Protect the antenna from heat sources when routing. the TPMS antenna on the exterior of the vehicle. Avoid creating a tripping hazard when routing 4. attach GPS antenna to vehicle The GPS antenna must have a clear view of the sky to operate properly. Remove adhesive protector from GPS antenna, and place the antenna on the dashboard inside the cab. Route the cable back to the Gateway. BEST GPS LOCATION On the dashboard with a view of the sky BEST TPMS ANTENNA LOCATION On rear of exterior of vehicle, pointing downward 9 HALO CONNECT INSTALLATION, cont'd 5. Connect cables to gateway On the gateway, the side label marks the port for each of the cables, as seen below:

Ensure the cables are securely attached to the Gateway to avoid loosening due to vibration during vehicle operation. 6. Attach Gateway to vehicle Use the included mounting screws and a 5/16" socket to se-
curely attach the Gateway in the location selected in step 1. It may be necessary to increase the size of the holes on the Gateway to allow for the mounting screws to fit properly. 4x 7. confirm gateway power On the Gateway, ensure that the power LED is emitting green. Ready Error Power 10 9. install TPMS Sensors Locate the sensor pack. Each sensor has a label that specifies which valve stem the sensor must be screwed onto. R2 INNER How to Read Tire Position Label This sensor should be installed on:
R = Right side of vehicle (from driver perspective) 2 = 2nd Axle (steer tire is axle 1) Inner = Inner tire position Screw each sensor onto the correct valve stem. Sensors for Halo equipped tires should be attached to the Halo hose. A contaminated, corroded, or damaged valve stem or sensor seal may cause a poor seal between the sensor and valve stem resulting in a tire leak. 11. Pair gateway using mobile app Download the Halo Connect mobile app to a compatible de-
vice, and complete the pairing process. On the Gateway, ensure that the Ready LED is emitting blue. Ready Error Power 11 Regulatory RF Exposure This equipment complies with FCC and IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled envi-
