AutoDeploy Installation
Pre-Installation
1. Install TrailerTail
STEMCO recommends installing the TrailerTail prior to installing the AutoDeploy® system.
AF
2. Latch Installation
Attach Electronic Latches
Insert (4x) Ornit rivets from the outside of the Lateral Panel.
Rivet the electronic latch to the inside of the Lateral Panel.
3. Install TracBAT RF® Aero™
Use TracBAT RF® install instructions found
in TracBAT box.
4. Panel & Trailer Preparation
Lateral Panel Grommet Cutout
Make a small 2" x 2" cutout where the latch cable will enter the trailer frame.
The cutout should be approximately 41" from the bottom of the TrailerTail.
The cutout may be moved up or down at most 6" to avoid a door hinge.
Drill a hole 4" horizontally from the grommet cutout with a 1/4" drill bit.
TrailerTails with custom cut lateral panels will have the grommet cutout and hole pre-drilled.
4"
2"
2"
ø5⁄8"
Drill Holes in Trailer Frame
Using a center punch, mark the trailer frame in the center of the 2" x 2" cutout and
centered horizontally on the frame. This mark will help keep the drill bit from wandering.
Drill a 5⁄8" hole in the frame. STEMCO recommends using a sheet metal hole saw.
Use a grommet bracket as a template to drill the rivet mounting hole for the bracket.

TailBAT Control Unit
Use a tape measure to position the
TailBAT control unit. It should be
centered on the width of the trailer and
approximately 26 ft from the rear doors.
STEMCO recommends using the I-beam
located on or near the side marker lights.
You may need to move the TailBAT forward
or backward up to 2 ft to avoid I-beam
obstructions.

Use the roll of the TailBAT base bracket to attach one side
of the bracket to an I-beam.
Place the clamp plate on the other side of the I-beam and
use the provided 1/4" bolts, washers and lock nuts to
secure the clamp plate, base bracket and TailBAT control
unit to the I-beam.
You may need to adjust the location to avoid possible obstructions.
Do not overtighten.

1. Wire Routing
Plug in the 12-pin connector into the TailBAT control unit.
Route both the power cable (3-wire cable with no connector)
and the latch wires to the side of trailer and secure to I-beam.
Route only the power cable to the Junction Box at the front of
the trailer using an available underbody channel.
Use zip-ties along the underbody channel as needed to secure
the wires.

2. Separate and Route Wires to Near and Far Side
Route the shorter latch wire to the near side of the trailer
and the longer latch wire to the far side.
AF
Use zip-ties to secure the wires to the trailer frame.
3. Route Wire Up Through Frame Post
Send a nylon pulling rope from the 5⁄8" hole you drilled
earlier to the bottom of the post.
Use the nylon pulling rope to pull the latch cable through
the post. Make sure you do not tear the cable insulation
on any sharp corners. You may need to feed from the
bottom as you pull from the top.
Make sure wiring does not go through any
sharp or bare metal holes. Use grommets or
caulk to protect wire from bare metal.
4. Assemble Grommet and
Grommet Bracket
Grommet Bracket on Wire
Slide JST connector through back of plastic grommet
bracket.
Slide the grommet bracket so that approximately 3 ft of
wire is exposed.
Press the wire into the slit grommet. Push the
grommet into the grommet bracket until both lips of the
grommet sit flush against the grommet bracket.

1. Connect Harness to Latches
Slide the heat shrink tubing over and past
the connector.
Plug the wire harness into the latch.
Slide heat shrink back over connector.
Heat Shrink
AF
Evenly apply heat over the length of the
heat shrink tubing until it molds tightly to
the connector.
Harness to Latch Connection
If connector is damaged, replace latch wire. Do not use damaged connector.
See [ATD001905] Install Manual - AutoDeploy, Latch Wire Replacement.
2. Attach Latch Wires to Panel
Place the wire clamps around the wire and rivet to the pre-drilled lateral panel holes to
secure the cable. Make sure the rivet enters from the wire clamp side.
If the holes are not pre-drilled, use a 17/64" drill bit to drill 3 holes approximately in the locations shown
below.
Changed 1/4" to 17/64"
The cable between the clamps should be taut and not have room to move and damage itself,
except at the hinge joint between the panel and trailer frame.

3. Open and Close TrailerTail to Test Wire Excess at Grommet
Leave approximately 3" of excess cable near the grommet. Test the excess by fully opening
the trailer door and checking for cable binding.
AF
Feed excess wire into grommet, or pull extra wire out as needed.
4. Secure Wire Slack on Underside of Trailer
Secure any cable slack on the underside of the trailer. Zip-tie the cables in a loop behind the tail
lights inside the housing. Any movement can cause the wire jacket to wear and cause a short.

Post-Install Checklist
AutoDeploy® Post-Install Checklist
This section outlines the components to inspect immediately after every AutoDeploy installation.
1. Electrical System Test
Test system by following the Electrical System Test on page
14.
If a HandBAT is not available perform the Limited System
Test on page 16.
If the system is not functional or if either test is
unsuccessful, refer to [ATD004122] AutoDeploy with
TracBAT, Field Service Manual to perform diagnostics.
The HandBAT® is available from STEMCO.

2. Wiring - Lateral Panel
There is enough slack in the wire at the area where the
wire enters the trailer frame to open the trailer door.
The wire should not be taut nor droop down by more than
a couple of inches when the door is latched to the side of
the trailer.
Proper Wiring Slack
3. Wiring - Trailer
Best Practices
All wire is tightly secured to the trailer and not capable
of sliding through clamps.
Wiring does not go through any sharp or bare metal holes.
Use grommets or caulk to protect wire from bare metal.
Wiring in J-Box is tight and not allowed to vibrate
against sharp edges.
