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.
Some components may lose short-term memory, that is, engine or transmission adaptive parameters, and
radio presets after a protracted time without battery power.
3. Ranger device should be serviced by qualified, trained personnel only. 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.
The use of aftermarket screen protectors is not recommended and may void the warranty of the touch panel.

Mounting Locations
6.1 Placement
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Ensure that the driver’s view of the road is not obstructed.
Ensure that the equipment is not in the path of any active airbags.
Ensure that the driver still has access to all controls on the dashboard.
Ensure that the driver has a clear view of the terminal from the seated driving position.
Ensure that the terminal is within easy reach of the driver from the seated driving position.
Ensure that the mounting location is a solid surface. 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.

9.7 Ignition Sense Option (6th Number)
Before the Ranger unit is assembled, the ignition input option is set with internal jumpers.
If the Standard Ignition input option is selected, the ignition sense threshold is set to 1.6V and the ignition sense
line should be connected to an appropriate point on the vehicle as described in the section on Connection Points.
If the Alternator Charge Voltage Detection option is selected, the ignition sense threshold is set to 12.9V, and the
ignition sense line on the main cable should be connected to the battery voltage.
Care should be exercised in selecting this option. In some cases, the vehicle battery charging system is not strong
enough to maintain sufficient voltage on the battery for the Ranger unit to detect. This is often the case with
highly customized vehicles that contain aftermarket items that consume significant power such as heaters, AC
units, and wheelchair lifts.
9.8 Main Cable Option (7th Number)
Customers can choose whether they want the “Octopus” cable, which has connections terminated to appropriate
connectors, or the 24pin Molex option where a secondary cable connects to it and provides an interface to the
appropriate points on the vehicle. Typically, customers order the 24pin Molex option if they are upgrading from
Ranger 1 or 2 to Ranger 4.

10 Connection Points
10.1 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.
10.2 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.
10.3 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.
10.4 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.
10.5 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.
10.6 Switched Ignition Signal
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.
The ignition sense input can be configured in two ways: standard ignition detection or alternator charge voltage
detection. Interpret the part numbering label to determine how the unit is configured. If it is configured to use
the alternator charge voltage detection option, connect the ignition sense line to the battery, otherwise, use an
ignition signal from the vehicle. See Ranger Configurations and Optional Parts for more information.
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.
10.6.1 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.
10.6.2 Fuse Panel
An unused ignition activated position in the fuse panel is another option. This installation requires an Add-ACircuit fuse holder as shown in the following graphic:
It is not acceptable to use a “fuse sleeve”.

11 Cabling
11.1 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.
11.2 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.
11.3 Labeling
It is important to always label cabling at connection points. This practice and using cables with consistent coloring
will make maintenance easier.
11.4 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
11.5 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.

12 Antennas
12.1 Internal Antennas
Ranger v4 contains celullar, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS antennas.
Cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth antennas are capable of transmitting. 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 can have an effect on antenna performance. To optimize GPS
performance, mount the Ranger vertically with a clear view of the sky.
12.2 External Antennas
If desired, external Wi-Fi and/or GPS antennas can be used with Ranger v4.
Specific antenna selection depends on the individual system setup. Contact your Customer Care representative
for assistance in selecting an appropriate antenna.
To comply with FCC and Industry Canada rules, an external Wi-Fi antenna must be a monopole type with gain of
no greater than 5dBi.
Use short lengths of low loss cabling whenever possible. Wi-Fi performance is especially susceptible to cable
losses.
Some important features to consider are:
•
•
•
•
•
Compact construction
Durability
Weatherproofing
Temperature stability
Mode of Installation
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.
12.3 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.
Do not coil excess antenna cable slack.
12.3.1 Connectors
•
•
R–SMA - The reverse SMA connector is used for Wi-Fi and requires a 1N-M torque wrench to be properly
secured.
QMA - The QMA connector is used for GPS and is a snap-on version of the SMA connector.
