3.0 Installation

The instructions in this section describe the hardware installation of the GPS-208. To install the GPS-208 in a vehicle

follow these steps:

• Choose a convenient location in the vehicle – either in the trunk or interior of a vehicle. Avoid locations that

might expose the GPS-208 to excessive heat or moisture.

• The GPS-208 as a printed label on the top side of the device. It is important that this label be facing towards the

sky when the GPS-208 is installed.

• An optional backup battery is available for the GPS-208. If the device is equipped with a battery it is important

that the power switch for the battery be turned on. The image below shows the location of the power switch. In

the image it is in the off state.

3.1 Installing Cables

To ensure proper operation of the GPS-208 please follow these precautions:

• Remove power from the GPS-208.

• Do not create sharp bends, loops or crimps in the cables.

• Attach all cables to the vehicle and equipment in such a way as to reduce stress or wear caused by the vibration

generated by moving vehicles.

• No more than a combined total of ten (10) pounds force can be applied to the GPS-208 connector.

• Properly terminate all power cables.

3.1.1 HRNS-062 - 16-Pin I/O Connector

HRNS-062 is a 16-pin external I/O connector and cable. This connector provides power and can be used to interface the

GPS-208 with inputs and outputs.

CES Wireless Technologies can also provide optional cables with connectors. The part numbers vary with the cable’s

intended use. Please contact your CES Wireless Technologies sales or support executive for more information.

You may also build your own cable. Table 1 describes the functionality of this 16-pin connector. CES recommends using

20-gauge wire when building the connector. Pins that are not planned for usage should be left open without anything

connected to them.

The GPS-208 is NOT a waterproof or sealed device. Care must be taken to ensure that

the device is kept away from water and other liquids. The GPS-208 can be mounted

inside a weather proofed box if necessary.
