4.1 Gather the Required Tool and Components
The following components are available from ORBCOMM:
• A SCU
The following components are customer supplied for an installation:
• customer telematics unit (VTU) cable harness
• customer antenna with antenna cable
Each SCU has a unique serial number, termed a mobile ID, used by ORBCOMM to register it on the
OG2 network. This is a 15-digit alphanumeric identifier in the format "NNNNNNNNSKYXXXX" The mobile
ID is located on the SCU label and on the shipping box.
Record this mobile ID before the SCU is installed. You need it later to activate the SCU on the network.
Note: The SCU may be activated on the network prior to or after shipping based on the
customer’s agreement.
4.2 Review the Mounting Guidelines
CAUTION: It is very important for installers to install the SCU in a safe and secure way to
avoid danger or damage to persons or property.
• Mount the SCU on a flat surface in a protected location within the vehicle cab, within the vehicle’s
telematics compartment next to the VTU.
