5.4 WIRELESS MONITOR OPERATOR STATION
This operator station consists of the wireless transmitter, receiver, receiver output cable, and charging cradle. The installer will need to
mount the wireless receiver and wire it into the primary operator station. The charging cradle will need to be mounted in a weatherproof
location and wired to a protected voltage supply.
The receiver is supplied with (2) 1/4-20 stainless steel self-tapping screws. Make sure the material beneath the receiver is substantial
and thick enough to hold self-tapping screws. Make sure the area on the back side of the mounting surface is clear of obstructions. We
recommend a minimum thickness of 3/32" (.093" - 2.4 mm) in aluminum and 5/64 (.078"-2mm) in steel. See the chart in Figure 5.4.1 to
determine the correct pilot hole size.
5.4.1 MOUNTING - RECEIVER
Select proper location for mounting receiver. The receiver has a built-in antenna and needs to be in an open area so that it can receive
the wireless signals. A location on the top of the truck is preferable.
The receiver must be mounted so that the supplied 10' (3 m) output cable can be routed back to the primary operator station. Be sure to
mount receiver so that the Deutsch connector is pointing down. Receiver size is 5.1” x 4.0” (130 x 102mm). Refer to Figure 5.4.1 for hole
dimensions. Receiver can be used as template.
The optimal operating range is 500' (150 m). Check the operating
range after mounting receiver. If range is inadequate, the receiver may need to be remounted in a more exposed area.

See section 5.1.2
5.4.3 MOUNTING CHARGING CRADLE
Select proper location for mounting cradle. The cradle is not weatherproof and needs to be inside a protected location such as in the cab
or a compartment. Cradle size is 4.2” x 4.5”. Refer to Figure 5.4.3 for hole dimensions.
5.4.4 ELECTRICAL WIRING CHARGING CRADLE
Use two (2) ¼” spade lugs to connect power to the cradle from a protected voltage supply from the truck’s power distribution center.
Connect the positive lead to the terminal marked CHARGE BATT and the negative (ground) lead to the terminal marked GROUND. Do
not make connections to any other terminals. The circuit from the truck power distribution center should be energized continuously to
keep the transmitter fully charged.
