Guardian Field Support Manual – Section 2
4
1 OVERVIEW
This Section describes the process for installing the Guardian Generation 2 system
(Guardian Gen 2).
This Section is to be followed in sequence, when conducting your first installation. If at the
end of a particular ‘Part’, the material states to refer to another ‘Part’, do so and continue
until you are referred back to the original ‘Part’ in the Section.
Note: A ‘Part’ is a titled block of information inside a Section e.g. Part 5.3 refers to title
heading 5.3 of this Section. If a Section is referred to, this is referring to another section of
the manual.
It is important to note that variations in vehicle cabin layout and the presence of other
equipment in the cabin may mean that the preferred positioning of Guardian components as
described in this section may not always be possible.
When this occurs, you need to attempt to meet the requirements as closely as is possible
noting the minimum separation distances for components.
There is no specific component that must be installed prior to any other component;
however, we do recommend installing cables on the Controller from left to right due to the
design of the connectors.
All components of the Guardian Gen 2 system must be mounted and secured in a manner
which will prevent the components from becoming a hazard should an incident or accident
occur.
A Non-Standard Install may be conducted by using non-permanent measures – Velcro,
cable-ties, double-sided tape or magnets. Drilling and cutting in the cabin are normally not
allowed during a non-standard install. Product warranty may be void if a non-standard install
is conducted.
Where Non-Standard Installs are conducted, preventative maintenance should be conducted
regularly to ensure components have not shifted from the mounted location. Where
components have shifted, it must be re-installed to the original position.
