T127567B –UN–22JAN00
IMPORTANT: Before doing any work on an electrical
component, turn battery disconnect
switch OFF or disconnect negative
battery cable. Damage to electrical
components may result if terminals are
shorted during maintenance.
Never install close to the engine,
transmission or hydraulic tank where
temperature may exceed 70°C (160°F).
Never install on a panel that vibrates
excessively. Controller damage may
result if exposed to excessive heat or
vibration.
•Install communications controller in a protected area
where it won’t be exposed to excessive heat or damage
from chains or tools carried in the cab. The load center
area of a 4-wheel drive loader is an ideal location.
•Avoid installation in areas where temperature can
exceed 70°C (160°F). Typical areas to avoid are inside
the engine compartment, next to a hydraulic tank or
transmission.
•Select a location so harness connectors and antenna
cables can be attached or removed easily.
•Do not install in a location that will prevent removal of
other components.
•Install controller horizontally or with connectors down to
prevent water or oil from collecting in harness
connections.
•Before final location is chosen, check power harness
length and antenna cable length.

CONNECTING B+ UNSWITCHED POWER (RED
WIRE)
CAUTION: Before doing any electrical
maintenance, turn battery disconnect switch
OFF or disconnect negative (-) battery cable.
Damage to electrical components or
personal injury could result if a power wire
is shorted to ground.
This connection supplies battery voltage to the
communications controller regardless of key switch
position.
Typical connection for unswitched power is B+ terminal
on the alternator.
If connecting B+ Red wire terminal to an existing
machine wire, use VCU10018 Connector and T178552
Heat Shrink Tubing.
CONNECTING D+ SWITCHED POWER (BROWN
WIRE)
This connection supplies switched power to the
communications controller.
Connect to a place where battery power is present
with the key switch ON and not present with the key
switch OFF.
Typical connection for switched power is D+ terminal
on the alternator.
1. Connect D+ Brown to switched power source. If
splicing into existing machine wire, use VCU10018
Connector and T178552 Heat Shrink Tubing.
2. If alternator does not have a D+ terminal, locate
another source for switched power.
Use a VCU10018 butt splice to connect to an
existing wire or terminal.
Cover splice with heat shrink tubing to prevent
shorting to ground.
CONNECTING GROUND (GND) (BLACK WIRE)
This connection provides a ground for the system.
Connect Black Ground wire to alternator case or
machine frame.
CONNECTING W+/R+ ENGINE RUNNING (PURPLE
WIRE)
This connection provides the communications
controller with a signal indicating the engine is running.
A minimum of 6 volts is required.
Typical source for this signal is the W+ or R+ terminal
on the alternator. This provides a signal when the
engine is running.
Three W+/R+ Purple wires are included in the harness,
each has a different connector. Choose the one that
fits your alternator. Tie the other Purple wires to the
harness so they won’t be damaged during normal
operation.
If Machine Has: Connect Purple Wire To:
W+ terminal on alternator W+ alternator terminal
R+ terminal on alternator R+ alternator terminal
If alternator does not have Switched power source

FCC Antenna Warning Label
While the device is in operation, a separation of at least 500 mm
(20 in.) must be maintained between antennae and the body of
the user or nearby persons in order to meet the FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
•Antennas must be mounted outside the cab at least
500 mm (20 in.) away from the machine operator.
•Cellular antenna should be mounted using
VCA10005 mounting bracket if possible.
•Entire length of cellular antenna must be mounted
above cab roof or any structure within 300 mm (12
in.).
•Mount cellular antenna (4) at least 300mm (12 in.)
from upright metallic structures, like mirrors. Center
of the cab roof or attached to a roof handhold is an
ideal location.

•Antennas may be mounted directly to a cab or
ROPS roof. Ensure all gaskets and O-Rings are
installed under antennas to prevent water entry.
Petroleum jelly may be used to prevent O-Rings
from slipping out of position.
Ensure adaquate ground plane is available (See
Installing Antennas Through Machine or Metal
Panel).
•Where antenna cables go through the roof or steel
panels, install convoluted tubing or grommets to
prevent chaffing or shorting. Make “drip loops” (2) in
cables to prevent water from running down the
cables and into the cab.
•Mount antennas where they are best protected from
damage.
•Antenna height must not exceed overall height
limitations for transporting the machine.
•Route antenna cables with existing cables or
harnesses.
