Cautions
a) C
 arefully read the Installation Guide before installing this product. If anything is unclear please contact Trapeze for support.
b) Ensure that the NEGATIVE battery connection is disconnected before beginning work.
Note: Some components may lose short-term memory (i.e. engine or transmission adaptive parameters, and radio presets) after a protracted time without battery power.
c) R
 anger 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.
d) D
 o 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.
e) U
 se 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.
	tOUCH PANEL CARE AND CLEANING
		 •	Do not use high-pressure air, water or steam to clean the surface of the touch
panel. The action may cause the touchpanel to mal-function.
		 •	Clean the touch panel surface with a dry soft cloth; only Alcohol or Ammonia
based cleaner 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
moistrue 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. A heavy duty film option is available as a
manufacturing option.

Mounting Locations
Placement
1. Ensure that the driver’s view of the road will not be impacted.
2. Ensure that the equipment will not be in the path of any active airbags.
3. Ensure that the driver will still have access to all controls on the dash.
4. E
 nsure that the driver has a clear view of the terminal from the seated
driving position.
5. E
 nsure that the terminal is within easy reach of the driver from the seated
driving position.
6. E
 nsure that the mounting location is a solid surface. Locations that allow even
small amounts of initial movement will loosen over time.
7. B
 efore 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.
   8. 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 will keep moisture out of the carpet and insulation and will
forestall rust in this area.
9. I f mounting under the instrument panel, be sure that there is no interference
with proper operation of the foot controls.
10. I nquire if the vehicle will be cleaned with a high pressure water wand. If so,
ensure that all equipment is installed somewhere that will be protected from
this type of cleaning.

Connection Points
1. Splicing
T-Taps are not a suitable form of splicing into existing cabling. All splices must be
soldered and glued. Heat shrink must be used for protection.
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 will not power down correctly. Appropriate fuses are provided with the installation equipment.
3. Ground
The ground point should be that point where the (-) terminal from the battery is
connected to the body. This connection to the battery is typically a 6 or 8 AWG
black wire connected to the wheelhouse or radiator support.
 o not fuse the ground lead. If the ground-side fuse were to open, the entire supD
ply current would be conducted by an alternate current return path, which may
cause the feed line to overheat possibly resulting in damage.
4. Switched Ignition Power
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.
There are two methods for interfacing to the vehicle ignition. If neither of these
options are possible, then contact your Trapeze representative and alternate ignition
options can be discussed and approved.
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.
a) Auxiliary Electrical Panel (Preferred)
 any bus manufacturers will include an auxiliary electrical panel for interfacing periphM
eral devices. Below is an example of a common location in buses with a Ford chassis.
One of these terminals will typically be 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.
14
TRADE SECRET. Trapeze Proprietary and Confidential. © 2013 Trapeze Software ULC, its subsidiaries and affiliates. All rights reserved.
Connection Points
b) Fuse Panel
An unused ignition activated position in the fuse panel is another option. This installation requires an Add-A-Circuit fuse holder as pictured below. It is not acceptable to
use a “fuse sleeve”
Example of an Auxiliary Electrical
Panel on a Ford Van
Add-A-Circuit Installation
C) VSS (VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR FOR ODOMETER PULSES) OPTIONAL
 ost installations will utilize the Ranger GPS receiver for mileage tracking, however
in some cases a wired odometer connection may be required. Many vehicles have a
VSS point which provides a pulse train from the transmission. Vehicles that do not
have a VSS point with adequate signal characteristics will 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 Trapeze representative
may be able to assist in locating suitable VSS point. He/She can also provide
information on the type of signal that is required for accurate odometer tracking.

Connection Points
6. Emergency Switch (optional)
 he 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. Trapeze will provide a switch if one is required. It is sometimes possible
to use an existing switch already on the vehicle. A Trapeze Vehicle Specialist will
provide details for your specific requirements.
Add-A-Circuit Installation
	The emergency switch is typically installed on the lower left side of the driver seat.
	Always ensure that the connector on the emergency switch pigtail is strain reliefed off
the floor to prevent shorts if water enters the connector.

Cabling
1. Routing
a) U
 se 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.
b) R
 oute and secure all under-hood wiring away from mechanical hazards such as
exhaust manifolds and moving parts.
c) M
 aintain as great a distance as possible between mobile radio power leads and
the vehicle’s electronic modules and wiring. Avoid running power leads in parallel
with vehicle wiring over long distances.
d) I f cabling is routed under the instrument panel, be sure that there is no interference with proper operation of the foot controls.
2. Strain Relief
 nsure 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 imparing
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.
 s the Ranger 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.
3. Labeling
	It is important to always label cabling at connection points. This simplifies maintenance in the future. Using cables with consistent coloring will also make maintenance easier.

Antennas
1. Internal antennas
Ranger 4.0 contains celullar, WIFI, Bluetooth and GPS antennas.
Cellular, WIFI and Bluetooth antennas are capable of transmitting. Ranger should be
installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm (8”) between the radiator
and the operator and the operator or any passengers.
The orientation and mounting location of Ranger4.0 can have an effect on
antenna performance.
To optimize GPS performance, mount the Ranger vertically with a clear view of the sky.
2. EXTernal antennas
If desired, external WIFI and/or GPS antennas can be used with Ranger 4.0
Specific antenna selection depends on the individual system setup. Contact Trapeze
for assistance in selecting an appropriate antenna.
To comply with FCC and Industry Canada rules, an external WIFI antenna must be a
monopole type with gain of no greater than 5dBi.
Use short lengths of low loss cabling whenever possible. WIFI performance is
especially susceptible to cable losses.
Some importance features to consider are:
Compact construction
Durability
Weatherproofing
Temperature stability
Mode of Installation
Groundplane style antennas are ideally mounted on the centre 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.
3. Cable Routing
The antenna cabling has a minimum inside bend radius of 2”. Bending the cable
tighter will cause degradation in antenna performance.
Avoid routing the antenna cable in parallel with the vehicle wiring over long distances.
Do not coil excess antenna cable slack.

an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna
type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including ...
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio
peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur)
approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques
de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le
type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente
(p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication
satisfaisante.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils
radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes :
(1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
