HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Introduction
Hardware installation has to be carried out by experienced technicians
familiar with installing similar types of equipment.
Before You Start Installing
Ignition Sense Cable
Note: The iM1000 will not operate without the Ignition Sense Cable
installed or an ignition plug connected.
Installation Planning
Planning is the key to fast, easy iM1000 installation. Before a hole is drilled
or a wire is run, inspect the vehicle and determine how and where you
intend to mount the antenna, iM1000, and accessories. Plan wire and cable
runs to provide maximum protection from pinching, crushing, and
overheating.
Recommended Tools For Installation
The following tools, screws, and washers are recommended for proper
installation of your iM1000.
• Portable Drill
• Hammer
• Center Punch
• Four screws M4
• Four self drilling screws M4
• Four flat washers M4
• Four spring washers M4
• Phillips #2 Screwdriver
5
Antenna Mounting
The best mounting location for the antenna is in the center of a large, flat
conductive surface. In almost all vehicles, these requirements are best
satisfied by mounting the antenna at the center of the roof. Some vehicles
have a large trunk lid that provides a good antenna location. If the trunk lid
is used, connect grounding straps between the trunk lid and vehicle chassis
to insure the trunk lid is at chassis ground.
iM1000 Mounting
The standard mounting of the iM1000 can be mounted on different types of
mounting surfaces. Be sure the mounting surface is able to adequately
support the weight of the iM1000. Allow sufficient space around the
iM1000 for free air flow for cooling. Be sure the unit is close enough to the
vehicle operator to permit easy access to operating indicators. Although the
iM1000 can be mounted to a plastic dashboard, it is recommended that the
mounting screws be located so they penetrate the supporting metal frame of
the dashboard.
DC Power Cable Installation
The iM1000 must be operated only in negative ground electrical systems.
Reverse polarity does not damage the iM1000; however, iM1000 protection
circuits cause the cable fuse to open. Check the ground polarity before you
begin installation to prevent wasted time and effort.
The DC power cable shipped with the iM1000 is long enough for
installation in most vehicles. Begin the power cable installation in the
following manner.
1. Determine a routing plan for the power cable with reference to where the
iM1000 is to be mounted.
Figure 2. - Power Cable Routing Into the Engine Compartment
2. Locate the nearest available chassis ground mounting point and shorten
the black lead to remove excess cable length.
3. Locate the fuse holder as close to the battery as possible and away from
6
iM1000 -Data Modem
any hot component. Mount the fuse holder using the provided mounting
hole and dress wires as necessary. Connect the fuse holder red adapter
lead plus to the mating receptacle on the red lead of the power cable.
See Figure 3..
4. Connect the power cable black lead directly to the chassis ground.
5. Connect the power cable red lead from the fuse holder to the positive (+)
battery terminal. Make sure the adapter cable is connected to the main
power cable red lead.
6. Plug fuse into in-line fuse holder as shown in figure 2 Figure 3..
Figure 3. - Power Cable Assembly
Mounting iM1000 - Vehicle Installation
1. Select the location to mount your iM1000 - either on the transmission
hump or under the dashboard. By mounting the iM1000 on the
transmission hump ensure that the transmission housing is not
affected.
2. Use the iM1000 mounting bracket as a template, mark the positions
of the holes on the mounting surface.
3. Secure the iM1000 mounting flinges to the surface with the four
(4M) screws provided.
4. Mount the antenna using the instructions provided with the antenna
kit. Run the coaxial cable to the iM1000 mounting location. if
necessary, cut off the access cable and install the cable connector.
5. To assure compliance with United States FCC regulations on RF
exposure, the user of the equipment must position the antenna in
such a way to maintain a separation of at least 8 inches (20 cms)
between the antenna and the body of any user and nearby person.
6. Ensure that the antenna is properly installed external to the vehicle
