INSTALLING AND MOUNTING THE GPS UNIT
The GPS unit will work best if it has a clear view of the sky and as much of the
horizon as possible with no metal between it and the sky. Any metallic objects
between the GPS unit and the satellites will degrade the signal and reduce the
overall performance. For best signal acquisition, the roof of the trailer is the
recommended mounting position. (This will require extending the wires on the
unit to reach your trailer wiring socket or refer unit battery.) You can also mount
the device on the front of the trailer as pictured below. For refrigerated trailers
the device can be mounted inside the refer shroud (as long as it is plastic or
fiberglass) and you can use the refer units battery for the external power source.
WARNING Any metal structure can affect the accuracy of the GPS signals and
prevent normal operation. Location of the GPS unit is critical to the operation.
The GPS unit can be installed on
any type of vehicle. The unit should
be mounted so it will not be exposed
to damage from people or objects.
The GPS unit has tabs for mounting
screws or you can use epoxy or
double sided tape to attach the unit
to your trailer.
