CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide 1 REGULATORY INFORMATION 1.1 HUMAN EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE STATEMENT Pursuant to 47 CFR § 24.52 of the FCC Rules and Regulations, personal communications services (PCS) equipment is subject to the radio frequency radiation exposure requirements specified in § 1.1307(b), § 2.1091 and § 2.1093, as appropriate.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide 1.2 LMU-XXX HANDLING PRECAUTIONS Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden and momentary electric current that flows between two objects at different electrical potentials caused by direct contact or induced by an electrostatic field. The term is usually used in the electronics and other industries to describe momentary unwanted currents that may cause damage to electronic equipment.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide Electrical Over-Stress (EOS) The LMU-XXX GPS receiver can be damaged if exposed to an RF level that exceeds its maximum input rating. Such exposure can happen if a nearby source transmits an RF signal at sufficiently high level to cause damage. Storage and Shipping One potential source of EOS is proximity of one LMU-XXX GPS Antenna to another LMU-XXX GSM Antenna.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide 2 INTRODUCTION The LMU device is one of the most flexible, economical, mobile-tracking hardware products available. This Install Guide provides an overview of the LMU characteristics, functionality and installation, divided into the following sections: LMU Overview – Provides an overview of the physical and environmental characteristics. Pre-Installation Considerations – Provides guidance and considerations for preparing to install the LMU device.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide 3 LMU-XXX OVERVIEW The CalAmp Location and Messaging Unit (LMU-XXX) is a mobile device that resides in private, commercial or government vehicles. The LMU-XXX is a single box enclosure, incorporating a processor, a GPS receiver, a wireless data modem and a vehicle-rated power supply. The device supports inputs and outputs to monitor and react to the vehicular environment and driver actions. 3.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide 3.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS The LMU-XXX is designed to operate in environments typically encountered by fleet vehicles, including wide temperature extremes, voltage transients and potential interference from other vehicle equipment. To ensure proper operation in such an environment, the LMU-XXX was subjected to standard tests defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The specific tests included temperature, shock, vibration and EMI/EMC.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide 3.3 WIRING 3.3.1 LMU-3XX The LMU-3XX has 4 22AWG leads for its power and I/O connections. These leads are mapped as follows: Signal Name Wire Description Color Input or Output Usage 1 GND Ground Black Ground – Serial Cable Required 2 VCC Primary Power Input Red Power Required 3 IN-0 Input 0 White Ignition Input Required 4 Out-0 Output 0 Green Output to Relay Optional 3.3.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide 3.4 IGNITION WIRE REQUIREMENTS The following table provides a listing of devices and if the White Ignition wire of the P/N 5C896 cable is required.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide 3.5 SERIAL ADAPTER (DEBUG USE ONLY) LMU Serial Cable (Part Number 133337) This is the LMU standard serial cable used with LMU-XXX products. LMU Serial Adapter It only connects to the LMU-XXX products through an adapter (i.e., the 5C883). Figure 2: LMU Serial Adapter Serial Cable Adapter (Part Number 5C883) The Serial Cable Adapter accessory allows users to connect the standard LMU Serial Cable to the LMU-XXX.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide 4 PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS Installation can have a major impact on the performance of the LMU-XXX. It is recommended that installers be familiar with the installation of GPS and cellular devices and are comfortable in a vehicle environment. The best way to ensure a trouble-free installation is to consider your options and make appropriate decisions before you start.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide 4.3 VISIBILITY OF DIAGNOSTIC LEDS The LMU-XXX’s status LED lights provide valuable information about the device performance and operation. When feasible, attempt to install the LMU-XXX in such a way that the lights are visible with reasonable ease. If you observe poor performance, you may need to read the LEDs to troubleshoot the issue. If you cannot resolve the issue, you will need to provide the LED information to the CalAmp Customer Support Team.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide 4.6 MOISTURE AND WEATHER PROTECTION The LMU-XXX is not a weatherproof device and must be kept dry. The mounting location should be inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle safe from physical damage and where it is not exposed to moisture or water.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide 5 LMU-XXX INSTALLATION Installing the LMU-XXX is not difficult, but you must consider the variables involved, such as the vehicle type and location of existing equipment. Installation time can vary depending upon the installer’s experience and the vehicle design. The average time for installation is approximately 45 minutes. A single individual can perform most installation operations. To install the LMU-XXX: 1.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide 5.1 MOUNTING PROCEDURE FOR INTERNAL ANTENNA DEVICES When determining mounting location, the primary consideration is GPS satellite visibility. LMU-XXX have internal antennas for both GPS and Cellular. The GPS antenna is located directly under the product label side of the device. The required install orientation of the LMU-XXX is a horizontal mount, label side up. Attach the LMU-XXX to the solid body of the vehicle not to plastic panels.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide Recommended mounting locations for optimal performance include in-dash mounts where the LMU-XXX will not be shielded by metal: • Above gauge cluster • Above radio (prevent possible interference by routing power harness away from radio wires) • Above air vents or air duct • Glove box • Center console Figure 7: LMU-XXX Example Mount 5.2 CONNECT THE STANDARD WIRING HARNESS Next, connect the Standard Wiring Harness.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide 5.3 CONNECT THE OBD-II WIRING HARNESS This section contains the information required to connect the OBD-II Wiring Harness. This harness enables you to obtain power and ground signal from the vehicle without splicing wires from your vehicle. Note that you must still connect the ignition sense wire to the true ignition wire on the vehicle. Note: If you are using the Standard Wiring Harness, skip this section and refer to Connect the Standard Wiring Harness.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide 3. Secure the LMU-XXX OBD-II harness connector and the OBD-II connector together with tape to prevent loose connections that may occur from normal vehicle operation vibration. Figure 11: Plugged OBD-II Connectors and Taped Connectors 4. Re-mount the LMU-XXX OBD-II harness connector in the vehicle’s original location. 5.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide 5.4 CONNECT OPTIONAL INPUTS The options available for the LMU-XXX devices include starter disable and payment reminder. Note: When connecting the I/O, you may be required to provide additional length of 22AWG wire, depending on where the I/O connection is located compared to the Power/Ign/Ground connections. 5.4.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide 5.4.2 PAYMENT REMINDER AND NOTIFICATION The LMU-7XX and LMU-8XX use the optional Output #2 to send a 30 second negative pulse through the Yellow wire of the LMU-XXX wiring harness to the Piezo Buzzer. Figure 14: Piezo Buzzer Connection 1. Connect the Red Wire from the Piezo Buzzer to White Ignition Power wire. The White ignition wire must also be connected to the vehicle ignition wire. An additional length of 22AWG wire may be needed. 2.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide 5.5 LMU-XXX INSTALLATION VERIFICATION Installers should verify that the LMU-XXX GPS and communication functions are working properly before departing the installation site. Installation is complete and successful when you have tested the device. Using LenderOutlook’s mobile app, MobileInstallTM, you can install the vehicle in LenderOutlook and verify device installation from your mobile device.
CalAmp | LenderOutlook Device Install Guide 5.6 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXTERNAL ANTENNA Only the LMU-8xx device supports an external antenna. If you have purchased one of the devices with a part number CVF-810-33, -34 or -37 you should have received p/n IV1353-QB-02 SMA/SMC 3M Quadband cell antenna with your kit. This antenna connects to the GPS and cellular SMx ports on the device.
