GPS installation, Cable entry installation

Installation

GPS installation —

10.The GPS antenna is pre-wired and has a 1 meter cable running through one of the connectors.

Determine location for GPS antenna. It is recom- mended you place the GPS antenna 3 feet from dome.

The recommended location for the GPS antenna is based on having a level location and a clear view of the sky for the best satellite signal acquisition. Do not se- cure GPS antenna to roof at this time.

IMPORTANT! The GPS must be located minimum of 3 feet away from obstructions on roof of vehicle. Antenna must have a clear view of the sky for proper op- eration.

Cable entry installation —

1.Decide the best location for the cables to enter the vehicle, and the location of the switch and receiver (see “Installing the switch and receiver”on page 10). Drill a 1/2” hole in the roof, push wires inside. Make proper connections.

You must have filtered +12 VDC power source.

2.Place cable-entry plate over hole and cables. Screw in place. Seal plate and screw holes with approved seal- ant (not included).

3.Depending on the length of the cable on the roof, you may need to use cable clamps or wire ties (not pro- vided) between the unit and your cable-entry plate. Clamping the cable every 12”-16” should eliminate any unnecessary cable movement, Figure 6.

INSTALLING THE POWER SWITCH

1.Choose a location to install the MV-4002 power ON/OFF switch. Remember when selecting a location that you will need to run the +12VDC power cable from the MV-4002 to the switch. Be sure the switch is in the OFF position before continuing. See Figure 9 page 10.

Wall or panel mount: Drill 1-1/4” hole, pull wires through wall or panel.

Surface mount: Determine location and direction of box. Mount box and feed wire into one of the box open ings. Select plate cover (brown or white provided) and snap the rocker switch into the switch plate. Be sure switch is off!

2.Connect the ground wire from the vehicle and the BLACK ground wire from the MV-4002 together, using large yellow spade connector.

3.Connect the YELLOW spade connector to the silver spade on the switch.

4.Connect the RED wire from the MV unit to the small RED spade connector.

5.Connect small RED spade connector to center spade on switch.

6.Connect the +12 V power wire from the vehicle to a small RED spade connector.

7.Connect small RED spade connect to isolated spade on switch.
