Location of the MT on the Trailer Roof
The recommended mounting location on the trailer roof is approximately 3ft.
back from the front of the trailer, and about 1ft. in from the left road-side
rail. This location is intended to minimize the potential for damage from low
hanging tree branches and to maximize the Mobile Terminal’s view of the
sky when the trailer is backed into a dock. The Mobile Terminal(with integral
antenna used for this transmitter) must be installed to provide a separation
distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Installing the MT, Mounting Bracket, and Safety Tether
1. Begin by installing the MT and tether loosely to the mounting bracket.
Do not fully tighten the MT to the bracket at this time. The MT
must be free to float within the bracket at this stage of the
installation. Tightening of the MT to the bracket at this time
could impede the bonding of the MT bracket to the trailer roof!

Bracket
Orient the terminal in the bracket so the screw holes align and the
connector is at the open end of the “U”. Install the tether to the MT
using a Torx Security stainless steel screw with a lock washer. Insert
the screw through the tether tab, then the MT bracket, and into the
front roadside hole in the MT. Orient the tab with the tether towards
the front of the bracket and partially install the screw leaving the MT
free to move in the bracket. Complete the installation of the MT to the
bracket with the 3 remaining Torx Security stainless steel screws, flat
washers, and lock washers.
