Note When performing wiring procedures, follow the instructions in Wiring Instructions on page 6. 2.1 FG3 Mounting Location Considerations Before mounting the FG3, give thought to where best to place it. Consider the following four basic points: • Weather Protection – Select a weather-protected location. The FG3 is not watertight. Water and/or moisture can seep in through the connectors causing permanent damage! Consider an area where it will not be exposed to water during vehicle operation or cleaning. • Cable Runs – The Fuel Inlet Antenna is mounted in a Class I, Division I, and hazardous location. The wiring is intrinsically safe and therefore must not come within two inches of any existing wires or cable harness. Mounting the FG3 to minimize the FIA cable length makes it easier to adhere to this safety rule. The VIB also requires connections to power and ground, so it should be located in an area where you can tap into these sources easily. • Cable Routing – It is important to keep cables from coming in contact with moving parts, and away from parts that generate excessive heat, electrical noise, or areas that may impede safety. Examples of these areas are the drive shaft, fan blades, belts, adjustable steering column, alternators, fluorescent lighting, foot pedals, radiator, and engine and exhaust systems. Attempt to gather all conductors at a common point when routing cables, allowing the cables to travel to the FG3 in a group. The FG3 must be kept at least three feet from the fill pipe opening. This includes cases where the FG3 is mounted in the trunk, as that is not a vapor-sealed area. Wire loom is recommended for protection of the wiring. • Cable Clearance – Maintain a minimum of six (6) inches from devices with a strong magnetic field such as fan motors or speakers. Do not use an electric drill or any other electrically-powered tools within three feet of the filler neck or fuel tank, as this area is considered a Class I, Group D hazardous location. Do not use a heat gun or any other heating device within three feet of the filler neck or fuel tank as this area is considered a Class I, Group D hazardous location. The Fuel Inlet Antenna and its wiring are intrinsically safe. You must therefore ensure that there is complete separation between the transmitter wiring and any existing auto wiring. You must also avoid routing wires near the auto exhaust systems or fuel lines. Mount the FG3 at least three running feet from the filler neck.
998 Old Eagle School Road, Suite 1215 | Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087 | T: 610.687.9202 | F: 610.971.9447 | www.assetworks.com 8 Figure 1: Typical Vehicle Wire Routing 2.2 Mount the FG3 1. After taking into account the considerations listed in FG3 Mounting Location Considerations, mount the FG3 as follows: • If possible, mount it on the same side of the vehicle as the filler neck. • For a passenger car, the FG3 can be mounted under the dashboard or in the trunk, provided that the unit is at least three running feet from the filler neck. • For a truck or bus, the FG3 can be mounted inside the vehicle's electric enclosure. 2. Drill at least two 1/8" holes for the FG3 mounting. Use the FG3 to mark the holes (refer to Figure 2: FG3 Wiring Diagram) 3. Figure 2The FG3 should be mounted on vehicle chassis, or any other metal portion of the vehicle whenever possible. Do not use an electric drill or any other electrically-powered tool within three feet of the filler neck or fuel tank. This area is considered a Class I Group D hazardous location. 4. Using the two 3/8" self-tapping mounting screws and two lock washers, mount the FG3 to the vehicle frame. You must use two self-tapping sheet metal screws.

The RF Antenna can be mounted by removing the protective layer from the adhesive back and attaching on the vehicle windshield.
998 Old Eagle School Road, Suite 1215 | Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087 | T: 610.687.9202 | F: 610.971.9447 | www.assetworks.com 10 In passenger cars, it is can usually be concealed behind the pillar molding on the side of the windshield. The same location can be used near the rear window if desired. In busses, the RF Antenna can be mounted in the sign compartment area, provided that it is manufactured of fiberglass. The antenna cannot be concealed on all sides by metal. Note The RF Antenna should be fastened and secured appropriately. Do not coil the antenna wire. 2.4 Connect the FG3 to the Battery or Power Source Positive (+) connection can be from any 12 or 24 volt source. 1. If your power source is the battery, run a wire from the battery to the FG3 and connect it to BATT (+). This wire requires a 3 amp fuse to protect the FG3. 2.5 Connect the FG3 to Ground To connect the FG3 to ground, you can connect it to the vehicle metal chassis, or to the negative (-) post on the vehicle's battery. • If you are connecting to the vehicle battery: Prepare a black auto wire with a terminal on each end. Connect the black (-) cable from BATT (-) on the FG3 to the negative (-) terminal on the battery. Tie the wire to the vehicle frame. • If you are connecting to the vehicle metal chassis: Connect a black ground cable from BATT (-) on the FG3 to one of the FG3’s mounting screws. Loop the cable end around the screw, between the screw head and the FG3 plate, and tighten the screw. Note this will connect the FG3 to ground only if the FG3 is affixed to the metal chassis of the car.

From there it usually travels to the engine control computer, speedometer and the cruise control computer. Pick a location to tap the circuit near the engine control computer interface as this will usually reduce risk of incorrect data due to ignition noise. Also, as with any electronic accessory, a good ground is imperative. Lack of proper ground could result in a ground loop condition which could affect the accuracy of the unit. Note AssetWorks can provide you with an aftermarket catalog that details where to find the VSS+ wire, what color it is and how many pulses per mile the vehicle has. This is a good reference to use. 3.2 Connect the Data Interface to the FG3 The instructions for this procedure depend on the type of vehicle – To view how to capture vehicle data, refer to Appendixes Appendix A –Capturing vehicle data on page 23. 3.2.1 Connect the FG3 to odometer There are two possible odometer connections:  Direct from either an electronic odometer or speedometer.  From a mechanical odometer via a Reed type odometer adaptor. Also known as a pulse transducer or “taxi tap” Note If you are recording the vehicle's engine hours, you may skip this section and go on to "Engine Hours". 3.2.2 Electronic Odometer or Speedometer If the vehicle has electronic instrumentation, run a single wire from the vehicle speed sensor output VSS+ signal to the FG3 and connect to "VSS". 3.2.3 Reed Type Mechanical Adaptor If the vehicle has a mechanical odometer, and you are using a Reed type adaptor, run two wires to the FG3 and connect to "BATT(+)" and "VSS".

This can be accomplished by either utilizing an Odometer Adaptor or by receiving electronic pulses from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) output. If your vehicle has a cable driven speedometer, a transducer will be needed to convert the mechanical turns of the speedometer cable into electronic pulses that the FG3 can read. Transducers may be ordered through a local speedometer repair shop, through the vehicle manufacturer's parts distributor, or directly from the sensor manufacturer. 7.1.2 Vehicle Data Collection (VDC) - Option The AssetWorks VDC enables online wireless capture of odometer and/or engine hour readings from vehicles equipped with the AssetWorks Vehicle Identification Fleet Gate (FG3). This data capture occurs when a vehicle passes within range of the Wireless Automated Fueling (WAF) Receiver installed in a parking area or at the fuel island. The pertinent vehicle data is transmitted to a local PC, which has the AssetWorks proprietary VSU application installed and running and will transmit it to the FleetFocus™ application client server in REALTIME via TCP/IP protocol. 7.1.3 Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) In order for a pulse counting FG3 to function properly, it requires an accurate speed signal from the vehicle. This section provides a quick overview of what a speed signal is, and how to identify a speed signal. With the introduction of the electronic control module, or the “electronic brain”, found in all modern day vehicles, engineers needed a way to report operational data to this computer for processing. This is where sensors come in. There are sensors to measure just about everything; pressure, speed, temperature, fluid levels, and so on. A sensor simply converts one type of information into another, or more specifically, one type of energy into another. The end result is used by the computer for calculations. In almost all cases, the vehicle’s speed signal is generated at the output shaft of the transmission. This shaft turns at a speed which is directly proportional to the vehicle speed. There are usually two different types of sensors found at this location. The first type, and by far the most common, is called a variable reluctance sensor. This is a fancy name for a series of magnets mounted to “shag”, which spins past an inductor or coil. As the magnets’ lines of force cut through the inductor, a voltage, or pulse is induced in the circuit. So, the end result is a signal which pulsates, or oscillates at a speed directly proportional to vehicle speed. The second type of sensor, which is probably more modern, but less common, is the Hall Effect sensor. The Hall Effect sensor works much the same as the variable reluctance sensor, but instead of an inductor, the Hall Effect sensor is a tiny solid state switch which is
998 Old Eagle School Road, Suite 1215 | Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087 | T: 610.687.9202 | F: 610.971.9447 | www.assetworks.com 24 activated by a magnetic force. The end result is a smaller and lighter sensor generating a cleaner signal. There are many ways to identify the vehicle speed signal. We will discuss a few of these: 7.1.3.1 Using an Oscilloscope By far the easiest way to view and identify the VSS signal is with an Oscilloscope. This tool allows you to actually see a picture of the signal. 7.1.3.2 Using a Multi-Meter to measure frequency (Hz) This is the easiest way to measure the speed signal without the use of a scope. There are some things to watch out for, however. At rests, the meter may give incorrect readings. This is because the meter uses A/C coupling to measure frequency, and if it picks up some noise, it may try to measure it to determine its frequency. The important thing is to measure frequency while the vehicle is moving. The frequency will increase proportionately to vehicle speed. If the measurements seem to bounce around, you probably don't have the correct circuit. 7.1.3.3 Using a Multi-Meter to measure A/C Voltage This is yet another way to verify the VSS circuit. This method works poorly however, with Hall Sensor outputs. The reason for this is that a Hall Sensor’s output does not vary in amplitude, only frequency. Almost all A/C Multimeters display voltage in RMS, which is about 70% of the peak value of the A/C waveform. Since the peak voltage is constant with a Hall Sensor you will see only two readings; the reading while the vehicle is stationary, and the reading while it is in motion. Usually this is enough data to determine if you have the right circuit. If you are using an A/C Multimeter to test a variable reluctance sensor, which are by far the most common, it will work very well. As with frequency, the A/C voltage should fluctuate in direct proportion to the vehicle speed. Once the VSS circuit has been identified, the next step is to determine the number of pulses per mile which are emitted from the sensor. In order to determine the speed and mileage, the VIB must know how many pulses are emitted for a mile traveled. Fortunately, there are only a few different calibration values. For example, almost all Ford and Chrysler products emit 8000 pulses per mile. Chevrolet commonly uses 4000 or 2000 at the control module, and 96000 at the transmission.

If the vehicle's electronic odometer line is also driving additional equipment, such as a cruise control module or trip computer, there might not be enough signal strength to add the FG3 to this line. In this case, you will need to replace the single sensor with a dual-output sender, or add an additional single sender to the unused sender port that is provided on some vehicles. For connection instructions please refer to vehicle manufacturer. Single Electronic Adaptor Dual Electronic Adaptor 7.1.3.5 Reed Type Mechanical Adaptor If the vehicle utilizes a mechanical cable between the dashboard speedometers to the transmission, on a mechanical pulse Transducer (or taxi Tap) is required. Try to order the sensor with 18 gauge shielded cable of sufficient length to reach the ID Box without splicing. Consult AssetWorks on approved vendors for these transducers.
