7. MOUNTING THE TVG-850
CAUTION: Before drilling or cutting through any part of the vehicle, it is the installer’s
responsibility to make certain that there is adequate clearance behind the surface to be
drilled and confirm that no wiring, fuel, brake lines, hydraulic lines, interior parts, or other
objects could potentially be damaged during installation. You must also consider the
possibility of water ingress into sensitive areas of vehicle such as into the cab enclosure,
or near vehicle’s sensitive electrical equipment.
CAUTION: Never drill or cut through structural elements of equipment such as frame, roll
cages etc.
Mount the unit to the vehicle using four ¼-20 X 1” mounting bolts and nuts with nylon locking inserts. The
following important guidelines must be followed when mounting the unit in the vehicle.
1. The TVG-850 must be mounted inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Any areas
subject to extreme heat or vibration should be avoided as should mounting areas that may
expose the unit to contact with petroleum products, corrosive materials or other chemicals
and solvents.
2. Be sure to select a mounting location that permits convenient routing of antenna, serial,
display, power and vehicle bus cables. When available, under-seat, rear wall of cab, or in-
dash mounting may often the best option. It is the installer’s responsibility to carefully
evaluate each installation to determine the best mounting option.
3. The unit must be mounted as securely as possible to avoid vibration or position shift.

8.2. Ignition Input
The TVG-850 has an ignition sense input which senses an active high signal. This input can be used
to monitor the vehicle’s ignition circuit. If the customer wishes to collect runtime hours based on
actual engine run time rather than ignition on time, this input should be left unconnected and Pin 4
DIG5_IN may be used to sense voltage on the R-Terminal of the vehicle’s alternator (For additional
information; see Section 11 “LOCATING THE R-TERMINAL”)

8.4. Digital Inputs
The TVG-850 has 5 general purpose digital inputs. The purpose of these inputs is to provide interfaces to
switches and sensors mounted on the vehicle. When the unit is in hibernation mode the state of the
inputs sampled at a regular interval. Digital Input 5 has a zero crossing detector for analog (sine wave)
input signals. Digital inputs 1 to 4 may be configured to sense active high or active low inputs. For
electrical and timing specifications see Recommended DC Electrical Specifications and Recommended
AC Electrical Specifications. For connector pin description see Digital I/O Pin Description.
8.5. Digital Outputs
The TVG-850 has two general purpose outputs which can sink up to TBDmA of current. For connector
pin description see Digital I/O Pin Description.

Trimble Mobile Resource Management Jun 16, 2010 Revision 02 8
8.6. Power Connections
1) Connect Pin 2 of the power harness (Black) to vehicle’s chassis using a self-drilling screw and a
crimp-on # 10 ring terminal. Make sure that a good electrical connection is made to the chassis.
It may be necessary to remove the finish to expose the bare metal of the vehicle’s chassis.
NOTE
:
For proper function, the TVG-850 requires connection of EITHER Ignition or R-Terminal.
Under no circumstances should BOTH Ignition and R-Terminal be connected.
2) If monitoring Ignition; connect Pin 1 (White) of the power harness to the vehicle’s ignition circuit.
The ignition circuit must change electrical state from Low (less than 1 Volt) to High (more than 3
Volts) when ignition key is moved to the ON position.
3) If monitoring engine run-time hours; connect Pin 4 (Pink) of the power harness to the R-Terminal
of the vehicle’s alternator. See Section 11 for details.+
4) Using the supplied inline fuse holder and 7.5A fuse, connect power harness Pin 1 (Red) to a point
in the vehicle that provides continuous (not switched) battery power. The provided fuse holder
and 7.5 amp blade fuse should be installed in-line as close to the power source as practical.
8.7. Vehicle Information Bus Interface
The iLM vehicle bus interface may be connected to heavy-duty or light duty vehicles via the optional HDV
or LDV vehicle bus cables. The specific interfaces are OBD-II, J1708 and J1939. This allows the unit to
listen and poll for vehicle bus messages. Full functionality of this interface is described in the TBD-XX-
UM document. For connector pin description see Digital I/O Pin Description.

9. ANTENNA INSTALLATION
9.1. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
The standard Multi-band surface mount antenna is supplied with two cables, one for GPS and the other
for the wireless modem. There is a Wi-Fi option available which uses a third cable for the 2.4GHz range.
Each cable is 15” (4.5m) long and equipped with separate, unique connectors to assure that each
antenna cables is properly connected to the TVG-850. The Cable connector scheme follows:
The wireless modem antenna cable (RF-195) has a FAKRA D (Violet) connector.
The Wi-Fi modem antenna cable uses a FAKRA A (Black) connector.
The GPS antenna cable (RG-174) has a FAKRA C (Blue) connector.
The optional Bluetooth antenna if equipped uses RG-174 cable with a FAKRA A (Black)
connector.
NOTE: The Quad-band surface mount antenna is ground plane dependent and therefore should be
mounted on a metal surface. If a metal surface is not available, the antenna may be mounted on a
fiberglass surface provided an appropriate ground plane is used. Trimble has a 6” diameter ground plane
disc (p/n 55399) for fiberglass surfaces. This item must be ordered separately.
9.2. CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR THE ANTENNA
When choosing a location for the Quad-band antenna, make sure that:
the antenna will be mounted on a flat surface metal surface (i.e. roof)
The surface is clean enough to ensure proper sealing. All dust that settles on it must be removed
Antenna must have an unobstructed view of the sky and as much of the horizon as possible
If the antenna must be located in the vicinity of other antennas (radio, etc), locate the Tri-band
antenna at least 46cm (approximately 18 in.) away from the other antennas.
Note: The antenna cannot be located directly above or beside any device (i.e. 2-Way Radio, CB
Radio mounted in headliner console) that might cause frequency interference.
Avoid areas of high vibration such as engine hoods.
The chosen location provides access both above and below the antenna-mounting surface. This
access is required to secure the antenna mounting and for routing the antenna cable.
Before drilling, make sure the combined length of the antenna cable and extension cable will
reach the GPS receiver from the intended antenna mounting location.
Drill a ¾” hole at the mounting location.
TVG-850 - Installation Instructions
Trimble Mobile Resource Management Jun 16, 2010 Revision 02 10
CAUTION: Before drilling the mounting hole, check the metal thickness at the mounting location. The
bulkhead mount on the antenna can be attached to metal surfaces with a thickness of ¼” or less.
Remove the large nut from the bottom of the antenna
Feed the coaxial cables through the hole and ground plane disc if present.
Seat the antenna on the surface and secure it using the large nut.
Note: The attached gasket on the base of the antenna provides a seal to prevent moisture from
entering the vehicle.
The nut must be tight in order to properly seal the gasket. Tighten the nut from the bottom with a
wrench. Do not rotate the antenna body from the top as this will damage the gasket.
Note: Manufacturer specifies 3-5 ft-lbs on nut. Insufficient torque will fail to seal the base while
excessive torque will distort base causing eventual antenna failure.
Route the cables to the TVG-850 securing as necessary with tie wraps. Safely bundle and store
any excess cable out of the way being careful not to kink them. You must ensure that the cable
will not be damaged by heat, cuts, abrasion, or crush and pinch hazards.
Connect the cable to the appropriate antenna connectors on the TVG-850.
