Installation InstructionsCED,TX13067,2458 –19–03AUG99–1/1Selecting Mounting Location ForCommunications ControllerT128441B –UN–17FEB00IMPORTANT: Before doing any work on an electricalcomponent, turn battery disconnectswitch OFF or disconnect negativebattery cable. Damage to electricalcomponents may result if terminals areshorted during maintenance.Never install close to the engine,transmission or hydraulic tank wheretemperature may exceed 70°C (160°F).Never install on a panel that vibratesexcessively. Controller damage mayresult if exposed to excessive heat orvibration.•Install communications controller in a protected areawhere it won’t be exposed to excessive heat or damagefrom chains or tools carried in the cab. The load centerarea of a 4-wheel drive loader is an ideal location.•Avoid installation in areas where temperature canexceed 70°C (160°F). Typical areas to avoid are insidethe engine compartment, next to a hydraulic tank ortransmission.•Select a location so harness connectors and antennacables can be attached or removed easily.•Do not install in a location that will prevent removal ofother components.•Install controller horizontally or with connectors down toprevent water or oil from collecting in harnessconnections.•Before final location is chosen, check power harnesslength and antenna cable length.DeereTrax (13APR00)16Installation Instructions041300PN=18P R O O F P R O O F
