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.

T128441B
• 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.
–UN–17FEB00
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.

Removing Communications Controller
1. To remove the communications controller after
installing with the hook and hook fastener:
a. Carefully pry controller from mounting surface
starting at a corner.
b. To prevent hook and hook fastener from pulling
away from controller, push your finger between the
fastener pieces.
c. If hook and hook fastener pulls loose from the
controller, press it back in place.
2. To reinstall the controller:
a. Align hook and hook fastener strips on controller
and mounting surface, then press controller against
one end of the fastener strips and “rock” into full
contact.
b. Slowly apply pressure along full length of controller
until fasteners are secure.
3. If additional hook and hook fastener strips, alcohol
wipes or primer is needed, order VCA10039 Hook and
Hook Fastener Kit.

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
metal butt splice and T178552 heat shrink tubing.
2. If alternator does not have a D+ terminal, locate
another source for switched power.
Use a VCU10018 metal butt splice to splice to an
existing wire or terminal.
Cover splice with T178552 heat shrink tubing to
prevent shorting to ground.
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.

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.

• Mount cellular antenna (4) at least 300 mm (12 in.)
from upright metallic structures, like mirrors. Center
of the cab roof or attached to a roof handhold is an
ideal location.
• Mount the GPS antenna (3) in an area that allows
an unobstructed view of the sky. Mounting near the
cellular antenna is OK. Use Antenna Mounting
Bracket (1) when possible.
• 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 adequate ground plane is available (See
