6100 and Garmin: Dispatch and Navigation

The Contigo 6100 pro ides a fleet management interface to Garmin™ Personal

Na igation De ices (PNDs) including the nü i® 255/255W and nü i 350/360. The 6100

may be connected to Garmin PNDs ia a custom wiring harness that supports

Dispatch and Na igation in addition to all existing Contigo functions. From the

Contigo web application, Dispatchers may send jobs and messages to ehicles,

and monitor the status of jobs as dri ers accept their jobs on the PND. Dri ers may

na igate to the destination and complete these jobs.

This document is an addendum to the 6100 Installation Guide, and describes the

additional steps to install the Garmin unit and connect its related wiring to the 6100

and ehicle.

Select a Suitable PND Installation Position

Garmin PNDs are shipped with portable/remo able mounting brackets. These are typically designed to adhere to

the inside of the windshield glass (which usually pro ides the clearest line-of-sight to the sky). Alternati ely, you may

choose to permanently mount the bracket using your own fasteners or adhesi e.

› Locate all the mounting hardware pro ided in the Garmin PND packaging to ensure the kit is complete.

› Determine the best location for the PND, and ensure there is a smooth, clean area of glass to affix the

mounting bracket, or other suitable mounting location.

› Ensure the PND is in clear line of sight to the sky and that it is able to acquire GPS satellite signal.

› Ensure the placement of the Garmin PND and its mounting hardware will not obscure the dri er’s ision or

pre ent normal operation of the ehicle and its controls. The PND should be placed within reach of the dri er

for easy access to the Garmin na igation and dispatch controls.

› Ensure that the mini-USB cable can reach from the planned 6100 beacon location to the PND.

The mini-USB data cable carries data from the 6100 beacon to the PND. It also pro ides the grounding

point for the PND.

For certain models, (e.g. nü i 255, nü i 255W) the mini-USB cable also pro ides the power source for the

PND.

The mini-USB data cable must be routed up to the PND from the rest of the harness. Take note of the

size and shape of the mini-USB connector to ensure your routing accommodates it.

I PORTANT NOTE

(nü i 350/360 only): Ensure that an un-switched vehicle accessory power outlet is located within suitable

distance of the PND location. While they are equipped with internal batteries, PNDs must be operated on un-

switched external power. Power should remain to the PND even when the ignition is switched off. Operating

the PND on its internal battery will prevent Jobs and essages being properly delivered to the PND.

You may choose to source a ehicle accessory extension cable (not pro ided by Contigo) that allows you to

source ehicle power at the same point as the 6100 beacon.

2. Install the 6100 Beacon

Install the 6100 beacon, Antenna and Wiring Harness

› Following the instructions in the 6100 Installation Guide, install the 6100 beacon and antenna: Using the

6100/Garmin wiring harness, make the standard wiring connections (power, ground, ignition sense) and

optional connections if desired (auxiliary inputs and outputs).

Test the 6100 Beacon

› Perform an end-to-end system test by locating the beacon ia the Contigo portal.

Configure the 6100 Beacon for PND Use

› In the Contigo portal, configure the 6100 as ha ing a PND attached. See the Dispatch Administration and

Configuration Guide for more information.

3. Install the PND

ount the PND

› Install the mounting bracket securely in the position selected, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

› Mount the PND to the bracket and erify that the PND is held firmly in position.

› (350/360 only) Route the power cable to the nearest un-switched ehicle accessory outlet. An extension cord

may be used if required (sourced separately). Connect the power cable to the PND and to the ehicle.

I PORTANT NOTE

Some Garmin units use a mini USB connector for both power and data cables. These must be connected to

separate mini USB ports on the unit. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for connecting the power cable to

the correct mini USB port.

Example: The nu i 350/360 requires the power cable to be connected to the rear of the mounting bracket,

while the data cable is connected to the mini USB port on the side of the PND.

Connect PND to 6100

› Route the mini-USB data cable from the 6100 wiring harness to the PND mounting location.

› Connect the mini-USB cable to the PND’s data port.

Test the PND

› Remo e the PND screen protector.

› Press the Power button, ensure that the Garmin screen illuminates and the unit appears to be operating

correctly. Refer to the user documentation as pro ided by Garmin.

› Ensure the PND is in clear line of sight to the sky and that it is able to acquire GPS satellite signal.

› I PORTANT: BEFORE SENDING ANY ESSAGES OR JOBS TO THE VEHICLE,

erify that the fleet management interface has been enabled on the

PND. The Dispatch option will appear in the menu screen as shown in the

image to the right.

If the Dispatch option does not appear, the beacon may not be enabled

for PND connectivity on the Contigo portal. Please have the Contigo

portal administrator refer to the Administration and Configuration guide for

complete instructions. See Troubleshooting options in section 4 below.

› From the Contigo portal, you may then use the Dispatch interface to

send a text message to the Vehicle. Verify that it is recei ed by the PND.

I PORTANT NOTE

Once installed, do not intentionally swap PNDs between vehicles. Always use the same PND in the same vehicle.

Should you be forced to mo e a PND from one ehicle to another:

› All Jobs and Messages will be automatically deleted from the PND

› Jobs and Messages assigned to the current ehicle in the Contigo Dispatch interface will be re-sent to the PND

4. Troubleshooting the 6100/Garmin Connection

The Garmin shows that the data cable is disconnected.

The Garmin screen may display a data disconnection icon, e en when

the cable appears to be connected correctly.

First:

1. Verify that the disconnection icon is not displayed in error by

attempting to send a message from the PND (Menu > Dispatch >

Messages > Create Message). Verify on the Contigo portal that

the message is or is not recei ed. If the message is recei ed, the

icon can be disregarded and may clear itself after some time. If

not, proceed to the next step.

2. Ensure the data cable is firmly inserted into the mini USB data port (usually on the side of the unit).

3. Ensure the data cable is still connected to the 6100 harness. If not, a replacement harness may be required.

4. Ensure the 6100 harness connector is correctly inserted into the rear of the 6100 unit.

5. Ensure the 6100 unit has power (PWR/GPS light is illuminated). Ensure that the PND has power and is not

operating on its internal battery.

6. For Garmin units powered through the mounting bracket: ensure the PND is firmly seated in its mounting

bracket. Ensure that the power connection is connected to an un-switched power source (pro ides power

e en when the ehicle ignition is turned off.) The unit must not be operating on its internal battery.

7. Power off the Garmin unit. If the Garmin PND is powered ia a ehicle accessory DC power cable,

disconnect this from the unit and/or its mounting bracket.

8. Disconnect the data cable from the Garmin PND.

9. Wait a minimum of 30 seconds.

10. Connect ehicle accessory DC power cable to unit and/or its mounting bracket.

11. Reconnect the data cable to the Garmin PND.

12. Turn on the Garmin PND.

If this does not resol e the condition, contact your Contigo support representati e.

Installation Guide

Garmin to Contigo 6100

The Garmin PND appears to be connected and the 6100 is locatable, but PND is not

sending/receiving Jobs or essages.

The Garmin may be unable to send or recei e jobs or messages e en when the data cable is confirmed to be

connected correctly, and e en when no disconnection icon appears on the screen.

There are a few conditions that may cause this beha ior:

•The PND may be operating on internal battery. In this state, the communication link between the PND and

the Beacon is broken, and Jobs and Messages will be lost.

•The Garmin Fleet Management Interface (GFMI) protocol has not been correctly enabled on the PND.

•Messages were sent from the Contigo Dispatch portal before GFMI was correctly enabled on the PND.

•If the 6100 beacon lost power while Jobs or Messages were being sent, communications may ha e been

disrupted. E en if the 6100 is now correctly powered, Jobs or Messages may ha e been blocked temporarily.

Usually, resending Jobs or Messages should resol e this issue.

Once you ha e confirmed that the 6100 beacon and PND are connected correctly, both ha e power (and the PND

is not running off its internal battery), proceed with the steps below. (Ensure that the Dispatcher is not attempting to

send Jobs or essages to the PND until notified to do so).

1. Ensure that the PND is not operating on its internal battery. The PND must be connected to an acti e source

of external power.

2. Ensure that the 6100 beacon may be located or tracked. If not, it may not ha e a GPRS wireless data

connection.

3. Verify that the Dispatch option appears on the Garmin menu screen as

shown in the image to the right. If this does not appear, then initial

configuration of the 6100 beacon for Dispatch may not ha e been

completed correctly on the Contigo portal. Contact the Contigo system

administrator who must follow the instructions in the Dispatch and

Na igation Administration and Configuration Guide to correctly configure

the beacon for PND connecti ity.

4. Send a message from the PND to the Dispatcher. (Menu > Dispatch > Messages > Create Message). Confirm

that this message is recei ed correctly. If not, proceed to the next step.

5. Request the Dispatcher send a Job from the Contigo portal to the PND. Confirm that this job is recei ed

correctly. If not, proceed to the next step.

6. Power cycle the 6100 beacon (turn off, and turn back on). Once this has been completed, erify that the

beacon may be located or tracked from the Contigo portal.
