Before the Installation
Record the following information for entry into the Host System:
XAM Serial Number
Vehicle ID
Odometer Reading
Plan the locations of the parts that make up the Onboard System
The Onboard System consists of these components: the XAM; the XAM Mounting Bracket; the Electrical
Kit; the Drop Cable; the Driver Display Kit; and, if required, the ORBCOMM Antenna Kit (see the
individual installation guides). The Drop Cable connects the XAM to the XATA Interface Module (XIM) in
the Electrical Kit. The wires or cable in the Electrical Kit connects Power, Ground, and J1708 Signals to
the XIM. The cable in the Display Kit connects the Display to the XIM. It is best to install the Electrical
Kit first, followed by the Driver Display Kit, and then the XAM.
XATA Application Module Location
1. The XAM must be mounted above any large metal surfaces. The XAM Mounting Bracket should
be installed directly to the cab and positioned away from other Antennas on the cab. If the XAM
has ORBCOMM communications see special mounting instructions in the ORBCOMM Antenna
Installation Guide. Optional mounting brackets may be purchased from XATA. Figure 1 shows
two typical mounting locations.
2. Securely fasten the XAM Mounting Bracket to the vehicle. Use lock washers on the bolts.
3. Securely fasten the XAM to the Mounting Bracket with the included bolts and washers.
4. Remove the protective cap on the XAM connector and connect the Drop Cable to the XAM. To
keep moisture out of the connector it is very important that the cable is hand tighten securely and
then using a pliers on the connector tighten the connector an additional 1/8th of a turn. The XAM
connector has a Corrosion Preventive Compound on the contact pins.
5. Route the Drop Cable between the XATA Application Module and the XIM. Use an existing
opening in the cab or drill a 7/8” hole and install the included grommet to protect the cable.
6. Secure the Drop Cable along the way with the included cable tie bases and cable ties. Clean
and dry the area where the cable tie bases are placed. Stay away from sharp edges, moving
parts, hot surfaces, tight bends, and cable stress. Do not damage the cable by over tightening
the cable ties. Verify the Drop Cable does not interfere with the normal operation of the vehicle.
7. Connect the Drop Cable to the XIM and hand tighten the connector securely. The XAM is now
installed and it will power up. The XAM will be fully operational in seven minutes.
8. If the Driver Display is installed it will display WAITING FOR VEHICLE SETUP.
9. To send a Vehicle Setup to the XAM the vehicle needs to be outside in an area with a clear view
of the sky.

Warning:
Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
RF Exposure Warning:
When installed as directed, this equipment complies with radiation exposure limits for general
population/uncontrolled exposure. To ensure user’s safety and to satisfy RF exposure requirements for
mobile transmitting devices, this unit must be installed so that a minimum separation distance of 33 cm
(13 inches) is always secured between the transmitting structure and the body of the user or nearby
persons.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital devices,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced Radio/TV technician for help.
