INSTALLATION CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
BEFORE BEGINNING, check all vehicle manufacturer cautions and warnings
regarding electrical service (AIR BAGS, ABS BRAKES, ENGINE COMPUTERS, and
BATTERY etc.).
WE RECOMMEND the use of a VOLT/OHM METER to test and verify wiring circuits.
Test lights or illuminated probes can cause damage to on-board computer or engine
management systems.
DO NOT exceed maximum output ratings or damage may occur. Electrical
current limits for the TrakNet are listed where applicable on the system diagram. If
you are unsure about the current load, of a specific circuit on your vehicle, measure
the load first with an amp-meter before connecting.
WE RECOMMEND that the MAIN SYSTEM FUSE be REMOVED before jump
starting, using a battery charger, or changing the battery. A voltage surge or high
boost condition could damage alarm circuits.
DO NOT ROUTE ANY WIRING THAT MAY BECOME ENTANGLED with brake,
and gas pedals, steering column, or any other moving parts in the vehicle.
CONTROL MODULE & COMPONENT MOUNTING
DO NOT Mount the control unit in the engine compartment or where the
control unit or wiring harness where they can become entangled with moving
parts such as brake/gas/clutch pedals, or the steering column! The TrakNet
control module and back up battery should be mounted in a concealed location. The
antenna wire should be routed away from any metal if possible. Do not alter the
length of the antenna wire or route it with other wires. Do not ground the antenna
wire. Fasten the module to a bracket or wire harness using the cable ties. Under
dash Mounting: If you are locating the control unit under dash, mount it as high as
possible, not easily located.
Antenna: The antenna location must be selected carefully so that the antenna can
receive the satellite signals. The antenna is designed to be mounted inside the
vehicle. The ideal location is in a place that allows line of sight reception from the
GPS satellites. The antenna must be mounted flat with the GPS receiver facing up.
The ideal location is under the dashboard. It can be placed under the dash pad as
long as the covering is not metallic. The antenna works best if it has a clear view of
the sky. Do not mount antenna under a window that has metallic tint on it. This
will affect the reception of the unit.
