Chapter 2 InstallationUnpacking and Inspecting the ShipmentUnpack your shipment and check the contents to ensure that you have received all the specified items.Thoroughly inspect the equipment for shipping damage as soon as possible after delivery. Report any damage you find to your Motorola Customer Service representative immediately.Safety and General InformationA properly installed VSM unit minimizes service calls. When mounting the VSM unit components, consider the following factors:•The mounting surface must have sufficient strength to support the equipment being mounted and to prevent it from becoming loose over time.•Do not attach components to any part of the vehicle subjected to excessive vibration.•Do not mount the VSM unit on a flat surface where the unit could become partially submersed in water.•The proposed location of the equipment being mounted or wires/cables attached must not interfere with driver/passenger seating or leg space.•Select a location such that heat from the unit does not damage any wiring or any other plastic or heat-sensitive parts of the automobile.•Use the supplied mounting hardware.•Leave sufficient space around the VSM unit for air flow and installation.•Select a location that permits routing the cables as directly as possible.•Ensure that the cables are not stretched, and not subject to heat from the engine, transmission housing or heating ducts.•Crimp connectors securely.•Do not run cables over sharp edges that may cause excessive wear or chaffing of the cable insulation.•Do not install components in locations where they may cause interference to the operation of the vehicle's controls.
2 - 2 WiMAX VSM Installation Guide•Only qualified personnel may install communication equipment.•Ensure secure tightening of cable connectors.NOTE Install this product in a vehicle in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines and the instructions detailed in this manual. Use only the Motorola parts specified in this manual.Check the required mounting locations. It might be necessary to penetrate the bulkhead to reach the battery. Before drilling commences, ensure cable clearance on the opposite side of the bulkhead and do not install the vehicle’s Electronic Control Modules (ECM’s) on the opposite side of the bulkhead. Protect the cable where it passes through the bulkhead by using a grommet or similar protective measures. If necessary, contact the vehicle manufacturer for air bag information specific to the vehicle. CAUTION Installing the VSM at the end of the vehicle above the exhaust pipe may cause the VSM to overheat. WARNING!VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR BAGSAn air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including communications equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If the communication equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, this could cause serious injury.WARNING!Verify that none of the vehicle’s systems are affected by use of the unit, e.g. cruise control, ABS breaking, traction control, engine management, direction indicators, lights, etc.WARNING!Use existing openings through the bulkhead to avoid drilling. If drilling is a must, verify not to damage the Vehicle Electronic Control Modules (ECM’s), fuel pipes, brake pipes, and/or cable looms.WARNING!For vehicles equipped with electronic braking systems, see “ANTI-SKID BRAKING PRECAUTIONS”, Motorola publication 68P81109E34.It is mandatory that modems installed in vehicles fuelled by liquefied petroleum gas conform to the National Fire Protection Association standard NFPA 58, which applies to vehicles with a liquid propane (LP) gas container in the trunk or other sealed off space within the interior of the vehicle. The NFPA 58 requires the following:(1) The space in which the LP gas container and its fittings are located must be isolated by a seal from the space containing modem equipment.(2) Removable (outside) filling connections shall be used.(3) The container space shall be vented to the outside.
Installation 2 - 3Planning the InstallationPlanning is the key to fast, easy and safe installation.Installation ConstraintsRefer to the Safety Instructions in “Product Safety and RF Energy Exposure Booklet for Mobile Two-Way Radios in Vehicles or as Fixed Site Control” P/N 6881095C99.The WiMAX VSM must be installed in the car’s trunk, on the floor or the side walls (cooling fins facing up, or to the side).Figure 2-1 shows a typical WiMAX VSM installation in a car.Figure 2-1 WiMAX VSM - Typical Car InstallationBefore beginning the installation process make sure that the space available at the installation site is adequate for the modem and its accessories. Each installation configuration requires a different area for mounting the modem without obstruction.When choosing a location, ensure easy installation and replacement of the unit.IMPORTANT Take the following points into consideration when selecting a location and planning the installation.IMPORTANT The VSM must not be installed with the cooling fins facing down. Failure to comply may cause overheat problems and performance degradation.WiFiWiMAX GPSWiMAX VSMTrunk FloorNote: Only one WiMAXantenna is shown.
2 - 4 WiMAX VSM Installation GuideFigure 2-2 gives the WiMAX VSM dimensions.Figure 2-2 WiMAX VSM - DimensionsCables Routing•Before running a wire or drilling a hole, inspect the vehicle and determine how and where you intend to mount the antenna, modem, and the input/output device.•Plan wire and cable routing to provide maximum protection from overheating, battery acid, moving parts and sharp edges.•Keep cables away from ignition circuits to reduce noise pickup in the radio equipment.•Verify that the cables are of sufficient length. Do not connect two short lengths with a connector; doing so results in signal loss. Refrain from loose excess in the cables, but leave enough slack to allow reconnection if necessary.•Do not run cables externally or underneath floor mats.•Do not locate cables where the driver or passengers can kick them or where they can interfere with operation of the driver’s foot pedals.•When routing the cable, refrain from creating sharp bends or kinks.Drilling Holes•Where possible, use existing holes in the bulkhead, the trunk wall and the channels above or beneath the doors. Run cables parallel to existing car cables if appropriate.•If you must drill holes, verify not to damage other wiring, break lines or gas lines.7.9”(9.3 cm)11.4”(29 cm)(20 cm)3.66”
Installation 2 - 5•When drilling a hole in the roof, take care not to snag the roof liner.•To prevent rusting after drilling, remove all metal burrs and residue, and completely clean the area to ensure the removal of all steel dust.•Insert rubber grommets in all drilled holes to protect cables.Tools and Equipment•#2 Phillips screwdriver•Electrical drill and drill bit set•X-acto knife or equivalent•Wire stripper•Long nose pliers•Small side cutters•Crimping tool•Wrench set, including 8 mm for tray to unit attachment•3 mm Allen wrench set for unit to tray attachment•Soldering iron and solder•Electrical tape

Verify that the vehicle electrical system can support current values larger than that.Connect the fuse in the red wire to the power source using the shortest practical length.The unit is only for use with a negative ground system.See Figure 2-10 before routing or connecting the DC Power and Ignition cable and use the following process.Figure 2-10 DC Power and Ignition Cable Routing Into Engine CompartmentProcess 2-4 describes how to install the DC power and ignition cable.CAUTION Insert the fuse after making and carefully inspect all connections. Process 2-4 How to Install the DC Power and Ignition Cable 1Route the DC Power cable’s leads through the bulkhead and into the engine compartment. Use an existing opening or, if necessary, drill a 2 cm (26/32 inch) diameter hole through the bulkhead. Insert a grommet into the hole to prevent damage to the DC Power cable. 2Cut the black lead to the desired length and connect it to the negative (-) battery terminal.3On the engine side of the bulkhead, connect the red (A+) lead to the vehicle’s battery as follows:a. Cut the long red lead to the desired length. Verify that the fuse holder is at a distance of 20-30 cm away from the connection point, ensuring that it is not close to any hot engine component.b. Mount the fuse holder using the provided mount, and dress wires as necessary. Connect the red lead plug adaptor (on the fuse holder) to the matching receptacle on the red lead of the DC Power cable.c. Remove the fuse from the fuse holder and connect the red lead of the DC Power cable to the positive (+) battery terminal.
