1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing this product, which is the result of a collaboration between alphat-

ronics, alpine and Teltonika. These operating instructions are intended to assist you in handling and operating the

product.

Therefore, please read the instructions for use carefully. Keep the instructions for the entire life of the product and

pass them on to subsequent users or owners. Please check the package contents for completeness and ensure that

no faulty or damaged parts are included.

1.1 INTENDED USE

This product is a router for receiving LTE signals. The product has 2 SIM card slots. The user can activate one of the

two slots via the web interface. An integrated Auto APN function facilitates the automatic setup of all common SIM

cards used throughout Europe without additional manual conguration by the user. Furthermore, it is possible to

dial into other surrounding WIFI networks with the product.

The set comes with dierent antenna variants (high-performance outdoor antenna and rod antenna with magnetic

base for indoor installation). This product is designed for operation via 12/24 V as well as 230 V with the aid of the

supplied power supply unit.

5. INITIAL COMMISSIONING

Important note!

Check in advance with which of the enclosed antennas the product is to be connected in the

vehicle. We generally recommend using the external antenna, as this achieves better reception

results, especially in more heavily built (and therefore more highly shielded) vehicles.

5.1 CONNECTING THE ANTENNAS

In order to oer our customers maximum exibility, several antenna versions are included in the scope of delivery.

This allows you to choose individually whether an indoor or outdoor antenna is required, depending on your wishes

or the vehicle conditions.

Regardless of the mounting method, the additional GPS and WIFI antenna for the interior of the vehicle must be

mounted. This is the only way to ensure the smooth functioning of the product.

5.1.1 GENERAL CONNECTION SKETCH ON THE ROUTER

Variante B Connection via indoor antenna

ENGLISHENGLISH

5.1.2 MOUNTING THE OUTDOOR ANTENNA

Important note!

It is imperative that you leave the installation of the external antenna (if you do not have suf-

cient specialist knowledge) to a specialist company, as otherwise water could penetrate into

the interior of the vehicle through the respective installation point! alphatronics GmbH does not

assume any warranty for this!

Hint! Distance between router and antenna

When mounting the outdoor antenna, pay attention to the distance to the router. The precon-

gured connection cable of the antenna has a maximum length of 3.0 m. Therefore, only mount

the router within this radius.

Structure of the outdoor antenna:

The outdoor antenna has a cable feed-through in the centre (under the product).

Proceed as follows for assembly:

1. Loosen / dismantle the nut and the two washers attached to the antenna.

2. Dene an agreed mounting location on the roof of the vehicle and clean it thoroughly.

3. Now drill a hole with a diameter of 12 mm. Important! Take special care here that there are no extensions under-

neath the roof that could be damaged.

4. Now clean and degrease the installation site again and deburr any drill edges that may have formed.

5. Carefully guide the 3 cable strands of the antenna through the opening into the interior of the vehicle. We advise

you to carefully guide them through the opening one after the other.

Recommendationfor tightness: To ensure 100 % tightness, we advise

the use of e.g. Sikaex® 292 or an equivalent PU structural adhesive.

Apply an appropriate layer of adhesive here according to the illust-

ration (blue marked circle) and then carefully press the antenna on.

6. Now secure the antenna again from below with the corresponding washers and nut. (Sequence: red sealing

washer -> silver toothed washer -> assembly nut) and then hand-tighten the nut.

7. Especially in connection with the glue and the tightening of the antenna, watch out for further glue or silicone

leaking out and remove it immediately before it sets.

8. Now the cables can be connected to the router according to the marking (on the cable - above the plugs).

9. For optimal functioning of the router, the antennas for GPS and WIFI (inside the vehicle) must also be connected

here (see connection diagram under point 5.1.1).

Mounting positions:

GPS antenna

It is best to mount the GPS antenna in a place in the vehicle where it can receive a good signal from outside. Any

technical cabinets are not suitable here, as they shield the signal too much.

WIFI antenna (for the distribution of the WIFI network in the vehicle)

We recommend positioning the antenna so that it covers the entire interior of the vehicle with a WIFI signal. This

antenna should be mounted last.
