All rights reserved. 8 of 42   3 Before You Begin 1. Carefully read the Installation Guide before installing this product. If anything is unclear, please contact your Customer Care representative for support. 2. Ensure that the NEGATIVE battery connection is disconnected before beginning work. 3. Ranger should only be serviced by qualified, trained personnel. Attempting to remove the cover or disassemble the device could expose you to dangerous high voltage points. 4. Do not attempt to install or operate a damaged device. If the unit has been exposed to excessive amounts of water; shows evidence of physical damage; or is not operating properly; unplug it from the power source and contact qualified service personnel. 5. Use of thread-locking compounds such as Loctite may cause serious damage to plastic enclosures. Many thread-locking compounds are not compatible with thermoplastics and can lead to stress cracking. This will require the unit to be returned to replace the ABS enclosures.  3.1 Care and Cleaning of the Touch Panel • Do not use high-pressure air, water or steam to clean the surface of the touch panel. The action may cause the touch panel to malfunction. • Clean the touch panel surface with a dry soft cloth; only alcohol or ammonia-based cleaners can be used with caution when necessary. • Always dampen the cloth and clean the panel. Do not spray the cleaning agent on the panel itself. • The touch panel is sensitive to long-term water exposure and any excess moisture should be wiped off. Do not apply adhesive materials to the surface of the touch panel. This can cause permanent damage. This restriction includes stickers, tape and static screen protectors. Some components may lose short-term memory, that is, engine or transmission adaptive parameters, and radio presets after a protracted time without battery power.  The use of aftermarket screen protectors is not recommended and may void the warranty of the touch panel.

Locations that allow even small amounts of initial movement will loosen the placement of the device over time. • Before drilling any holes or using screws, check for vehicle wiring under the carpet or behind the instrument panel which could be pinched, cut or otherwise damaged. • If mounting through the floor, put body sealer over the underbody projections. Stamped acorn nuts, filled with sealer, are available at most body shops for this purpose. This keeps moisture out of the carpet and insulation and forestalls rust in this area. • If mounting under the instrument panel, be sure that there is no interference with the proper operation of the foot controls. • Inquire if the vehicle is cleaned with a high pressure water wand. If so, ensure that all equipment is installed somewhere that protects them from this type of cleaning.  6.2 Examples of Suitable Mounting Locations

All rights reserved. 21 of 42   9 Connection Points 9.1 Splicing T-Taps are not a suitable form of splicing into existing cabling. All splices must be soldered. Adhesive-lined heat shrink must be applied for protection.  9.2 Power Power connections should be made directly to the battery and fused as close to the battery as possible. Avoid using a cigarette lighter or “Power Point” receptacles as power sources. Trapeze does not recommend wiring power directly to a vehicle kill switch because the Ranger unit will not power down correctly. Appropriate fuses are provided with the installation equipment. Typically, powering the Ranger unit directly from the battery ensures that voltage drops are kept to a minimum. If it is necessary to power the Ranger unit from an existing circuit, avoid using circuits that are used to power high current accessories such as AC units, heaters, or wheel chair lifts.  9.3 Ground Point The ground point should be that point where the (-) terminal from the battery is connected to the body. Typically, this connection to the battery is a 6 or 8 AWG black wire connected to the wheelhouse or radiator support. Do not fuse the ground lead. If the ground-side fuse were to open, the entire supply current is conducted by an alternate current return path, which may cause the feed line to overheat possibly resulting in damage.  9.4 Vehicle Speed Sensor for Odometer Pulses (Optional) Most installations use the Ranger GPS receiver for mileage tracking, however, in some cases, a wired odometer connection may be required. Many vehicles have a Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) point that provides a pulse train from the transmission. Vehicles that do not have a VSS point with adequate signal characteristics require the installation of a transducer. It is the responsibility of the installer and customer to locate a VSS point or determine the appropriate location for a transducer. Your Customer Care representative may be able to assist in locating a suitable VSS point. He/She can also provide information on the type of signal that is required for accurate odometer tracking.  9.5 Emergency Switch (Optional) The emergency switch is usually installed somewhere that would allow for covert operation. This location needs to be chosen by the customer prior to the start of installation. A switch can be provided if required. It is sometimes possible to use an existing switch already on the vehicle. Contact a Customer Care representative to discuss your specific requirements.  9.6 Switched Ignition Signal The ignition sense input or Ranger V4.4 can be configured in two ways: standard ignition detection or alternator charge voltage detection. Ranger V4.4 can be configured through software to use the alternator charge voltage detection option. In this case connect the ignition sense line to the battery, otherwise, use an ignition signal from  It is important to utilize an unused ignition point. Connecting to an ignition point that is currently being used to switch other devices can cause improper operation of those devices.

If the Ranger installation requires using an ignition point on the vehicle (i.e., standard ignition detection method), there are usually two options available to connect to an ignition sense line: auxiliary electrical panel or a fuse panel. If neither of these options are possible, then contact your Customer Care representative to discuss alternative ignition options. It is highly preferable to find an ignition source that goes high only when the engine is actually on. If this source cannot be found, an ignition source that goes high only when the ignition is in the ON position is the next recommended source.  9.6.1 Auxiliary Electrical Panel (Preferred) Many bus manufacturers include an auxiliary electrical panel for interfacing peripheral devices. The following graphic is an example of an auxiliary electrical panel in a Ford van: Typically, one of these terminals is a switched ignition point. A ring terminal should be used when connecting to this type of ignition interface point. Ask the local maintenance personnel if you need assistance to find this panel.  9.6.2 Fuse Panel An unused ignition activated position in the fuse panel is another option. This installation requires an Add-A-Circuit fuse holder as shown in the following graphic:  It is not acceptable to use a “fuse sleeve”.

All rights reserved. 23 of 42   10 Cabling 10.1 Routing 1. Use caution when routing wires between the passenger and engine compartments to avoid chafing or pinching the wires. Use grommets over any exposed sharp edges and strain reliefs to keep wires in place. Seal all holes to prevent moisture intrusion. 2. Route and secure all wiring under the hood away from mechanical hazards such as exhaust manifolds and moving parts. 3. Avoid running power leads in parallel with vehicle wiring over long distances. 4. If cabling is routed under the instrument panel, be sure that there is no interference with the proper operation of the foot controls.  10.2 Strain Relief Ensure that there is no strain exerted on cable connectors where they enter the unit. Avoid placing the unit in a position where the cable connectors entering the back of the unit are under pressure or strain of any kind. Ensure the power cable is fully inserted before replacing the cable cover. In the event of undue stress or strain on installed cables and connectors, permanent damage may occur that can weaken the connections. This may result in intermittent or complete loss of communication and or power. Always include strain relief every 2-3 feet on long cable runs. As the Ranger unit can be tilted and rotated freely by the driver/user, cabling should be installed such that moving/adjusting the position of the unit does not exert any significant stress on the cables.  10.3 Labeling It is important to always label cabling at connection points. This practice and using cables with consistent coloring will make maintenance easier.  10.4 Wire Types The following are the minimum specifications for the hook-up wire that should be used during the installation process: • Ranger Power and Ground 300V, 105°C PVC, 18AWG stranded • Ignition 300V, 105°C PVC, 22AWG stranded • Odometer Interface 300V, 105°C PVC, 22AWG stranded • Ranger Inputs (example: Emergency Input) 300V, 105°C PVC, 22AWG stranded  10.5 Electrical Measurements Always ensure that there is adequate voltage at the point where Ranger is being powered. Compare this voltage to the voltage at the battery. The two voltages should be almost the same or a different power point should be chosen closer to the battery.

Cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth antennas are capable of radiating RF energy. Ranger units should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm (8”) between the radiator and the operator or any passengers. The orientation and mounting location of Ranger V4.4 can have an effect on unit performance. To optimize GPS performance, mount the Ranger vertically with a clear view of the sky.  11.2 External Antennas If desired, an external GPS antenna can be used with Ranger V4.4. Specific antenna selection depends on the individual system setup. Contact your Customer Care representative for assistance in selecting an appropriate antenna. Some important features to consider are: • Compact construction • Durability • Weatherproofing • Temperature stability • Mode of Installation • Compatibility with NAVSTAR and GLONASS systems • QMA Plug to be compatible with Ranger V4.4 Ground plane style antennas are ideally mounted on the center of a metal vehicle roof. Glass mount antennas should be mounted away from metal objects. When using an adhesive antenna, it is extremely important to make sure that the surface of the mounting location has been thoroughly cleaned. Use isopropyl alcohol to clean the surface just before securing the adhesive pad.  11.3 Cable Routing The bend radius of the antenna coaxial cable depends on the type used. Apply bend radius per the antenna manufacturer's recommendations. Avoid routing the antenna cable in parallel with the vehicle wiring over long distances. 11.3.1 Connectors • QMA - The QMA connector is used for GPS and is a snap-on version of the SMA connector.  Do not coil excess antenna cable slack.
