2.2 Installation Site
The installation can be performed in any well ventilated and well lit area as found in a car
dealership or accessory installation bay. There is no requirement to raise the vehicle. To
obtain the first GPS lock, a clear view of the sky is required, which should be considered if
designing a custom install centre. A GPS repeater can be used to obtain a signal inside a
building.
Care should be taken to avoid scratching the vehicle during the installation process.
Protective clothing and vehicle covers should be used.
Installations are also performed on the customers home or office site, so a portable
installation toolkit is required.
2.3 Unit Location
Your T23 FLEET unit can be mounted anywhere inside your vehicle or boat where the unit
will not get wet and not exposed to excessive heat. The most common locations are behind
the dashboard, under the centre console, and under a side panel in the back of the vehicle.
Pick a location where you can secure the unit firmly to prevent any rattling sounds after
installation.
2.4 Antenna Location
In order for GPS to function correctly, the GPS antenna should have a signal quality of 60%
or higher in order to receive data from the satellites. Example, if the vehicle is parked in a
metal-clad building then the performance of the T23 FLEET platform may be impeded.
Whenever possible, it is preferred to park the vehicle in a location where the antenna will
have a clear all round view of the sky during installation time to test the signal strength.
The antenna and wires should be hidden from view by the installer.
Common locations are:
•Under the dashboard as far to the front of the vehicle as possible
•Under the plastic cover near the windshield wipers
•Under the plastic cover of the front or rear bumpers
•In the license plate lamp (on SUV types)
•In the side mirrors (when space permits)
Places to avoid are:
•Under the roof or roof posts
•Under rear window defogger wires
2.5 Personal Assistance Button Location
It is recommended that the Personal Assistance Button, when fitted, is located within easy
reach and visibility of the vehicle driver, or where required in a covert location. Typically it
will be fitted into a blank switch position.
2.6 Installation without Internal Backup Battery
T23 Fleet works without internal backup battery. Power is supplied through IO cable pins 1
and 3 for example from the vehicles main lead battery. Note that unit shut down
immediately if no power supply present.
