This guide outlines the process for installing the
Terra 800 and antenna.
This kit must only be used with accessories
compatible with this terminal.
• Only trained personnel should install
communication equipment.
• Ensure that the unit is protected from dirt
and moisture.
• Select an area to mount components where
there is no interference with other objects.
• A strong mounting surface should be
chosen to ensure the terminal doesn’t
loosen over time.
• Mount all components securely for safe day
to day operation. Always use the supplied
mounting hardware.
• Leave space around the unit to allow
airflow and ensure there is adequate
clearance for cables.
• Ensure the units can be easily accessible
for servicing.
WARNING
Do not connect the Terra 800 power cable to power
the unit until the full installation is completed.

• Route cables so they are protected from
pinching, sharp edges, and crushing.
• Use grommets wherever a cable must pass
through a hole in a metal panel
• Keep all in-line connectors accessible.
• For an extra clean installation, a hole may
be driven through the surface directly
behind the terminal.

The system is designed to operate 10 to 32 V DC
electrical systems only.
If using the DC cable lead:
• The best power connection point for
the positive primary power lead is the
positive terminal of the battery. Often,
direct connection to the battery is
inconvenient, and you may find it easier
to connect the positive leads to the
starter solenoid. Always select a point
as close as possible to the battery.
• Connect the negative primary power leads
to a good ground point on the battery. If you
must attach the negative primary power lead
directly to the negative pole of the battery.
• Install provided fuses into the +BATT and
ignition sense (accessory) wires.
