conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference

2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that

may cause undesired operation.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B

digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a

residential environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. In which case the user will be required to

correct the interference at their own expense.

The user of this equipment is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved

by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the

equipment.

REQUIRED ITEMS

For a typical installation in a vehicle, following items will be needed:

• BBX Unit

• BBX Power cable(s)

• In-line Cable Fuses

• Mounting Plate and Thumbscrews

• Mounting Plate Hardware (Not Supplied)

To assist with the installation, it is often necessary to have the following available:

• Laptop PC

• BBX Programming Cable

• Multimeter

INSTALLATION

1 General

BBX is a wireless GPS unit with AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) capability. The unit has

been designed for use with a Computer Aided Dispatch system to monitor fleet vehicles

on the road. It can be equipped with several different RF Modems, or connected to a

conventional radio system. As well, the device has several vehicle inputs and can attach

to several different peripheral devices via USB or RS232 communication.

The BBX is shipped pre-programmed with the appropriate communications and

application software. In some cases, however, it is necessary to re-program the units with

updated files prior to installation. Please refer to the BBX Programming application note

for details on re-programming and configuring the units.

CAUTION

When installing the BBX, ensure that there is sufficient slack and/or strain relief in the

cables that connect to the unit so that if the position of any of the attached devices

changes, the cables will not cause any stress to occur on the connections to the BBX.

Failure to do so may cause damage to the unit.

2 BBX Mounting Plate

The Mounting Plate is supplied with each unit, and allows the BBX to be mounted in a

variety of locations and orientations. The mounting location is application specific. The

BBX does not have an interactive user interface and thus can be installed out of sight (i.e.

under a car seat, or in the trunk). Installing the BBX out of sight not only increases the

aesthetic properties of the installation but also limits the access by drivers and

passengers to the cabling.

The Mounting plate is first fastened to the car interior using bolts or other appropriate

means. Hardware has not been supplied for this step as it will vary depending on the

thickness and type of material the mounting plate is attached to. The BBX unit can then

be attached to the mounting plate using the supplied thumbscrews.

3 BBX Connections

The cable cover on the BBX unit can be removed by hand or by using a flathead

screwdriver to loosen the two screws. Removing the cable cover gives access to the BBX

interface points, which are detailed below.
