Warning Information Tip: Re-Tighten any screws that loosened during the work period TIP: Inspect device frequently WARNING: Do not mount any device with antenna side against metal WARNING: Please follow safety precautions for operating and servicing the installation on BeWhere devices 3 Multimeter 4 If you are using a Multimeter:
Set the meter to read DC volts (200 volt range or auto) Ensure that the probes are plugged into the ground and voltage-measuring sockets, not into the current-measuring socket (marked A for amps).Double-check the meter setup before you make any test connections. Ensure that the meters ground lead is securely connected to the chassis of the asset Measure voltages only at the connection terminals. Never poke into existing wires for testing as this damages the insulation. BeWhere - Sales Step 1 5 How to find a continuous power source Using a DC voltage multimeter probe, measure voltage on all three terminals of the alternator (Main power is usually the largest post to the alternator):
1.For the power source: Locate a 6.5V-40V(DC) source of continuous power DC 6.5V-40V Continuous Power Source 2. When assets ignition is off, verify that voltage is still present in the constant power source 3. Plan the cable routing path(see step 4 for additional information) 4. Prepare the trackers power cables (red is constant and black is ground) and ignition cable (grey) Recommended: Install fuse holders with 3-AMP fuses on constant and ignition power leads BeWhere - Sales 5. Install ring terminal connectors on constant, ignition, and ground leads Note: Heat shrink all ring terminal connections after ring terminals have been crimped 6. Connect the black wire (with ring terminal attached) to the assets alternator ground connection. 7. Connect the red wire (with ring terminal attached) to assets constant power terminal on the alternator. 8. Connect the grey wire (with ring terminal attached) to assets ignition power source. 9. If ring terminals are not able to be used for connections wires must be cut and spliced with heat shrink butt connectors Example: A. Tracker power cable (black wire) connected to the alternator's ground connection. B. Trackers power cable
(red wire) connected to positive alternator terminal. 6 If the voltage did not drop to zero after you switched off the ignition, that connection is not an ignition-signal source. Find a suitable ignition source. 1. Ensure that the equipment ignition is in the OFF position. 2. Connect the negative lead of a Multimeter to the assets ground connection which you plan to attach the ground wire on the tracker 3. Use a multimeter to check the voltage. Verify that the voltage is zero. 4. Turn on the ignition and start the equipment. Step 2 How to find an ignition source 5. With the multimeter, verify that the ignition source voltage is at least between 5.5V-40V 6. Turn the ignition to the OFF position and verify that the voltage returned to zero. 7.If the voltage at this point cycles on and off with the ignition switch, you have found a suitable ignition-
signal source. BeWhere - Sales Secure the cables 1. Inspect the wire connections to ensure safe conditions:
All wires are connected correctly. All connections are 2. watertight. Inspect the routing for the trackers power, ignition, breakout, and tracker cables to ensure safe conditions:
Cables are not pinched. Cables are no exposed to sharp edges. Cables are not near a heat source. Cables are not near moving parts. Cables are not swinging or dangling. There are no long, unsecured runs. BeWhere - Sales 7 Constant Power Source Ground Source Ignition Source Note: The red wire may appear as pink Device Wire Additional Wires IMPORTANT: If you do not require the additional wires make sure you cut or discard them. Also make sure the metal wiring is not exposed or touching each other Step 3 8 For GPS OK SKY Ideal SKY
- Make sure the surface of the tracker has a clear view of the sky
- Choose a location where tracker will not be damaged or knocked off
- While vertical installation is ok horizontal installation is ideal BeWhere - Sales If you must enclose the tracker, use a nonmetallic housing and ensure that the tracker has good visibility to the sky through enclosure. The tracker will not function well when placed in an area where the GPS or cellular antenna is facing metal such as inside a metal cabinet or case, or on the underside of the equipment. If you use screws to mount the tracker, choose a location that is not backed by any component that the screws could damage, such a coolant lines, radiators, electrical wiring fluid tanks, or moving components. You must be able to route the cables from the tracker to: battery, ignition, and ground sources safely. Ensure there is:
No possibility of wire pinching No interference with moving parts No unsecured cables Step 4 9 Note: If you need more length to achieve a safe cable route, you can extend the wires with a colour-matched silicone coated wire. (Use 18AWG UL3135 type wire for flexibility and heat resistance.) When joining wires, always heat-
shrink the butt splices after crimping to provide protection against weather. Plan cable routing path Make sure cable routing path meets these requirements:
All cables must be clear of any moving parts when the asset is operating. Cables must not extend across segments of the equipment that are routinely separated. The entire tracker installation must be on one contiguous section of equipment. Cables must be able to reach the desired mounting location for the tracker without being pulled or stretched and without interfering with asset operation. BeWhere - Sales STEP 5 Mount the tracker on asset Follow the instructions below for screws, or alternate options on page 11, depending on your preferred mounting method. Screws Clean the selected location Scrape any loose debris from 1. surface 2. Use the rubbing alcohol or alcohol wipes to remove grease, oil, and dirt from the mounting location. 3. Wipe the area dry with a clean, absorbent rag or towel. Alternate Mounting Options on page 11 BeWhere - Sales 4. Using a Phillips Pan Head driver, screw the provided stainless steel self-
tapping screws through the mounting holes of the tracker into the asset. Ensure that each screw is seated securely. STEP 6 Route the tracker cable into the asset enclosure. 1. If a suitable hole does not exist, drill a 1-inch diameter hole for the tracker cable in the asset enclosure. Route the tracker cable through the hole. 2. 3. Use the grommet (already present on the cable) to plug the hole. Align the pins of the cable to the tracker, connect and secure 4. 10 IMPORTANT: Do not drive screws into coolant lines, radiators, electrical wiring, fluid tanks, or moving components. IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten screws as it may break the base of the device. IMPORTANT: When mounting with screws use the screws that are provided with the device Remember: When mounting the device, the antenna needs to have an unobstructed view of the sky for optimal performance Verify the tracker Complete the remaining steps through the BeWhere Web app. See onboarding document for more information Alternate Mounting Options 11 Using VHB Tape Must be purchased up front at time of order (ie. 3M VHB Tape is a high-strength, double-sided acrylic adhesive tape) IMPORTANT: The setting temperature must be above 0 C to ensure proper stick. Recommended for lower temperature to heat mounting surface before applying tape. 1. Turn the tracker upside down to expose the underside. 3. 2. Measure the VHB mounting tape to cover the entire bottom of the mounting surface. Cut the tap to fit so that it does not extend beyond the ends of the trackers. Remove the backing from the VHB tape. Following the tape manufacturers recommendations, adhere the tracker to the clean, dry surface of the asset. 4. BeWhere Installation Instructions VHB Tape Double-sided tape (VHB) would be placed on the bottom of device Double Sided Tape Double Sided Tape Using Bracket Must be purchased up front at time of order 1. Locate area on asset you would like to install the bracket and device 2. Determine the way you would like 3. your device to sit on the bracket Attach your device to the bracket and then install the bracket to the asset 4. Bracket can either be mounted vertical or horizontal as long as the GPS/Antenna are away from metal and facing the sky Alternate Mounting Option 12 Must be purchased up front at time of order Strong magnetic grip connects to any metal for reliable stability and support Using Magnets Industrial strength magnets are a useful mounting option if the equipment might be re-purposed in the future. 1. 2. Locate area on asset that device will be mounted to with magnetic mount. The magnet bolt is wider than the mounting tab hole on the device. This will need to be drilled out for magnet bolt to fit.
