Packing List This part is included with the MDVR kit. Preparation The antenna's location determines the signal's connectivity, strength and affects the MDVR's operation. It should be mounted on a metal roof panel. Leave at least 6" of "free air space" from other antennae. Ensure no wires or obstructions behind the panel where drilling. Before you start drilling, make sure that you have enough antenna cable length for the distance between the antenna and MDVR connections. The mounting surface's material thickness (vehicle body or firewall) must be no thicker than 1/4" to fully thread and properly fasten the antennae. Installation Steps 1) Choose an appropriate mounting location. 2) Measure and mark the antenna's location with the Center Punch. 3) Drill a hole with a 1/2" metal cutting bit through the mounting surface. 33 September 21, 2021 Vehicle Monitoring and Locating System Tow Truck Installation Procedures Mobile Video Computing Solutions LLC 4) Use the de-burring tool to remove sharp edges around the hole. 5) Untie the cables, remove and save the lock washer. Pass cables through the 1/2" inch hole. 6) On the antenna's base bottom side, place a 1/8" bead of silicone sealant inside of the O-
ring. This will ensure a watertight seal to the vehicle roof. 7) Place the antenna in the finished position carefully. Clean up any excess silicone sealant. 8) Replace the lock washer and install the split nut onto the antenna's threaded shaft. Finger tighten this nut. 9) Using an 18mm split socket (O2 Socket), tighten the split nut until the antenna is fully seated to its mounting surface. 10) Route antenna cables to MDVR, taping or securing the cable every 12-18.

Event Switch and Power Takeoff Installation This section describes the installation procedures for a drivers side dashboard-mount Event Switch assembly and for connecting an MDVR sensor input to the vehicles power takeoff activation circuits. The Event Switch can be used by the driver to place a mark in the recording for later access when a significant roadway event has occurred which cant be detected by system sensors. The Power Takeoff (PTO) connection will automatically mark the recording everytime the system is activated for loading and unloading events. Event Switch Assembly Installation Steps 1) Choose an appropriate mounting location on the drivers side dashboard which has room behind for the switch. Remove any trim panels to gain access. 2) Drill a hole just large enough to accommodate the Event Switch. 3) Install the Event Switch through the hole and secure with the included nut. 4) Route the wires to the MDVR and connect per the schematic. 5) Determine if the vehicle has a PTO switch which switches +12V in the dashboard and connect the IO_SENSOR 2 wire to that switch. If the PTO switch is digital and controls an ECU elsewhere, you will need to locate the output of the switched relay either under the dash or behind the cab to access the +12V whenever the PTO is activated. 35 September 21, 2021 Vehicle Monitoring and Locating System Tow Truck Installation Procedures Mobile Video Computing Solutions LLC 12.
