Installers should pay particular attention to the location of fuel systems, hydraulic systems, compressed air systems and other electrical and mechanical systems, which may have a bearing on the installation. Installers should pay attention to any changes to the vehicle’s systems or settings, which should be noted prior to the installation. Installers should not smoke or make use of naked flames, which could cause a fire in or near the vehicle.

Add a cable-tie around the complete housing and bracket assembly for a more secure mounting if required. Avoid installing in known high-temperature areas, such as parts of the engine bay or near major heat sources.
© 2016 MiX Telematics International (Pty) Ltd. 6.4 General Wiring Requirements Note the product’s wire gauge cross-sectional area. If the wire gauge cross-section is reduced, current density increases, which may cause the wiring to overheat. Cables should be routed in existing channels and should not be routed parallel to ignition cables or other cables subject to high current. Cables should be fixed with cable-ties or adhesive tape.
© 2016 MiX Telematics International (Pty) Ltd. Avoid Recommended Avoid sharp corners and bends: Use rounded bends: Avoid coupling between 2 different pieces of wire: Separate coiled wires where possible: 6.5 Harnesses and connectors Please read the Safety section (Section 2) of this document before installing the vehicle harness. Confirm which of the harnesses will be used in the installation, as the colour of the wires will differ depending on the harness selected.

The Unit contains an internal Modem antenna and must be mounted more than 20cm away from the human body under normal operating conditions. 6.5.7 GNSS antenna connection For best results when the unit cannot be mounted with a good view of the sky, the external GNSS antenna should be used.
© 2016 MiX Telematics International (Pty) Ltd. 8 Starter Interrupt The MiX 4000 requires an external relay for the interruption of the vehicle’s starter circuit. The relay required should be adequately rated for the purpose intended. Please note that a 30A or 40A (contact rating) relay should be selected. A standard 5 PIN automotive relay manufactured by a reputable supplier (e.g. Bosch) would be adequate. The correct relay operating voltage is required; failure to do so may damage the relay.
© 2016 MiX Telematics International (Pty) Ltd. 9 Code Plug Socket Installation Note: Please follow the instructions, regarding the positioning of product components, as contained in the “Safety” section (section 4) of this document. The Code Plug Socket must be installed inside the passenger compartment or the driver cabin, to protect it from possible damage by water or other environmental factors.
© 2016 MiX Telematics International (Pty) Ltd. 10 Signal Inputs 10.1 Digital Inputs The MiX 4000 is equipped with two digital/analog inputs (I1-I2), which can be used to monitor digital signals. When the voltage threshold is crossed, an event is triggered. The voltage threshold and the hysteresis are set in software. Please refer to the section on “Harness Installation” for analogs: Pins 3,4 and 9 (Section 6.5.2) of this document, for more details.
© 2016 MiX Telematics International (Pty) Ltd. 10.2 Ignition Input The MiX 4000 includes a dedicated ignition input that must be wired if the starter interrupt immobilizer functionality is required. The input should be connected to the ignition signal on the vehicle. The MiX 4000 will automatically compensate for a 12V or 24V vehicle supply and no configuration is required.
© 2016 MiX Telematics International (Pty) Ltd. 11 Power Outputs 11.1 Positive Drive The Positive Drive output supplies power to MiX 4000 accessories. There are four Positive Drives in total. This output is controlled by the MiX 4000 and is configured in the vehicle properties of the Fleet Manager Application software. Access to these outputs is described in section 5.5. Do NOT connect an external voltage to the positive drive line.
© 2016 MiX Telematics International (Pty) Ltd. 12 Serial Communication The MiX 4000 is equipped with two RS232 external serial ports. Refer to section 6.5 for details of the wiring. The serial ports can be used to connect to external peripherals. Serial 1 does RTS/CTS flow control, and is paired with POSD1, so it is suitable for connection to Rovi terminals and other devices that use more power.

With the vehicle’s ignition turned on, measure the voltages relative to ground on each of the wires using a multi-meter. o For CAN, the voltage readings of the two wires should be very similar (usually 2.5V), with CAN-H likely to read only slightly higher than CAN-L. The actual data can be probed using an oscilloscope.
© 2016 MiX Telematics International (Pty) Ltd. Setting 1 (FACTORY DEFAULT) When all SW1 jumpers are inserted, both CAN1 and CAN2 interfaces are set for: All Jumpers inserted - 120 Ω termination is under software control (i.e. the software can switch the 120 Ω resistor in or out of the circuit). 120 Ω Termination under software control - RD/WR or "Listen Only" mode is under software control (i.e. the software can transmit messages on the CAN bus).
© 2016 MiX Telematics International (Pty) Ltd. Setting 3 When SW1 jumpers 3-4 and 7-8 are inserted, both CAN1 and CAN2 interfaces are set for: Jumpers 3-4 and 7-8 inserted 120 Ω Termination is under software control "Listen Only" mode Setting 4 - 120 Ω termination is under software control (i.e. the software can switch the 120 Ω resistor in or out of the circuit). - "Listen Only" mode (i.e. the software cannot transmit any messages).
© 2016 MiX Telematics International (Pty) Ltd. 13.1.4 When must the 120 Ohm terminating resistor be in the circuit? A properly terminated CAN bus will have a DC resistance of approximately 60 Ω (one 120 Ω terminating resistor at each end). By measuring the DC resistance on the vehicle bus between CAN-H and CAN-L, before the MiX 4000 is connected, an installer can determine whether additional termination is required. If the resistance measures 60 Ω, no further termination is required.
© 2016 MiX Telematics International (Pty) Ltd. For safety-critical CAN bus (e.g. so-called “hot bus”) installations where a hard disconnect must be guaranteed and physical safety is needed, the 120 Ω termination jumper must be removed. This will guarantee that termination resistors cannot be accidentally enabled by software, potentially disrupting the CAN bus. Note that permission from the customer to connect to a safety critical CAN bus should always be obtained.
© 2016 MiX Telematics International (Pty) Ltd. 13.2 DLD and DTCO The MiX 4000 also satisfies the need for Remote DTCO Download functionality by incorporating CAN, D8 and K-line communication. The main functionality is the ability to remotely download DTCO data as well as the D8 status change for the Hours of Service solution. This functionality allows the user to perform the following: Synchronise download schedules. Authenticate remote tachograph cards.
© 2016 MiX Telematics International (Pty) Ltd. 15 After Installation 15.1 Beep codes The MiX 4000 has an output that drives a buzzer. The buzzer is not included inside the enclosure but is part of the 10-wire main harness. If any of the other reduced wire count main harnesses are installed, beep codes will not be audible.
