CR Family Hardware Installation Guide Please refer to Cellocator Fuse Harness Overview for installation instructions for the Fuse Harnesses. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------IMPORTANT: • The CR unit must be protected by means of a 3A fast blow fuse. The fuse should be installed either between Power Input (Pin 1) and the vehicle protected power line. • The CR unit must be protected by means of PTC for safety certification compliance.
CR Family Hardware Installation Guide 2.4 Overview of the Hardware Installation Elements The CR Hardware Installation requires the items listed in Table 1. Name/Part Number Cellocator CR Family Unit Table 1: CR Hardware Installation Elements Description Picture CR unit. Includes built in GSM modem and GPS/GNSS receiver. The CR B models also include a battery. Vehicle harness PN 711-00276 Six wires harness for vehicle installation.
CR Family Hardware Installation Guide 2.5 CR 10 wires Harness (PN 711-00328) Cellocator provides the 712-00328 CR Family 10 Wires mold Harness mainly where serial interface (pin 7&8) or Dallas (pin 10) interfaces are required. In other cases the 71100331 CR Family 7 Wires mold Harness can be used. CR Family Hardware Installation Guide Copyright © 2015 by Pointer Telocation, Ltd.
CR Family Hardware Installation Guide The harness is made up of colored 22AWG wires, 1.2 meters long, utilizing a 10-pin connector that links to the CR unit and a 4 pin connector for the serial interface. A fuse holder with 3A fuse and PTC Resettable Fuse 60V and Imax=40A is attached to the harness. The following table provides a description of the harness. Additional information can be found in the relevant sections dealing with the harness installation instructions.
CR Family Hardware Installation Guide 3.1 Pre-Installation Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------IMPORTANT: - You must be a certified technician and qualified to install the Cellocator unit. - Please make sure you have the correct documentation for the devices you install. The devices and documentation change frequently, which may impact the installation procedures.
CR Family Hardware Installation Guide 3.3 Tools and Equipment Required To correctly install the device and accessories, you may need the following equipment and tools: A wire cutter Pliers (2 sizes may be required) Screwdrivers of several sizes Professional insulation remover Crimping tool for wire lugs Digital multi-meter Utility (razor) knife Flash light or other light source Tools to remove the vehicle trims (panel popper, sockets, ratchet etc.) 3.
CR Family Hardware Installation Guide Put protective covers on the front seats before you start the installation, to prevent damage to the upholstery. Use other covers for sensitive areas in the vehicle (LCD display, radio etc.). Do not use a cutter to expose the conductor in the wire, use a professional insulation remover that will not damage the delicate copper conductors. Use soldering for all of your connections. Do not connect a new wire to an existing wire (without soldering it) to make a connection.
CR Family Hardware Installation Guide Figure 6: Isolate the Connection Use existing wire ducts, openings and holes to pass wires between different areas in the vehicle. Do not punch or drill new openings or holes to pass wires between different zones in the vehicles, as this will create permanent damage to the vehicle, and other wires or pipes. Make sure the opening is properly protected by a grommet or a plastic sleeve to prevent damage to the wires.
CR Family Hardware Installation Guide Figure 8: Incorrect probe insertion The correct way to connect the probe of a voltmeter or tester to the connector is shown below: Figure 9: Correct connection To connect the negative power wire of the device, connect a lug properly crimped (or soldered) to the negative wire of the device (pin 3 in the 20 pin connector) and screw it to the chassis using an existing screw. Ensure the connection is good and stable.
CR Family Hardware Installation Guide Figure 10: Connecting negative power wire After all wires are connected, use plastic straps (cable ties) or insulation tape to secure all the wires and cables to fixed elements in the vehicle (such as existing stable cables, metal parts or other fixed parts of the vehicle, but not parts that are removed during regular vehicle service). Loose cables and wires may cause irritating noises while the vehicle is in motion.
CR Family Hardware Installation Guide Figure 11: Attaching the device When you finish your work, clean the vehicle and return all the items you removed into their original positions, using all the original screws and connectors. Test the functioning of all the vehicle systems: they should all perform as is before you installed the device. Test the connectivity of the device with the system server to ensure proper operations.
CR Family Hardware Installation Guide • • • Passenger cars of all types Light and heavy trucks Buses • • • • • • Motorcycles Snowmobiles Tractors Boats, jet skis and other marine units The carriage of a semitrailer or full trailer Containers and other assets Installation in these environments requires special protection materials and is not covered in this guide. 4.
CR Family Hardware Installation Guide • • • • • Behind the dashboard. In or behind the glove compartment. Anywhere in the front of the passenger compartment under the console and above the leg space. In a protected area under the driver’s seat. Less preferable: in the trunk of a passenger car (the radio signals penetrate the trunk mostly through the rear window and rear seat: you may have to find the best location and orientation through trial and error).
CR Family Hardware Installation Guide Figure 12: Device orientation The GPS receiver in the device is sensitive enough to allow reasonable reception even in cases where the top side of the device (marked 'This Side Up') deviates up to 60 degrees from the ideal direction. Figure 13: Ensuring the device is located with 30cm free radius In any case, this side should have a free space (with no metal obstructions) of approximately 30cm radius, with the device in the center of it. 4.
CR Family Hardware Installation Guide NOTE: Make sure that your SIM card PIN is identical to the PIN programmed in the unit, or disabled. The default value of the unit PIN code is 1234. If the SIM PIN and the unit pin differ, insert the SIM card into a regular cellular phone and either change its PIN to the unit PIN (1234) or disable it. SIM PIN protection and value (locking the SIM) can be activated automatically providing PIN synchronization between the SIM and the unit.
CR Family Hardware Installation Guide SIM Holder Figure 15: Inserting the SIM Card 3. Close the unit, insert the 2 screws and tighten to a torque of 3.5 kgf-cm (kilogram force per centimeter) which is approximately 0.35 Nm (Newton per Meter). 4.5 Installing the Battery in CR B Models See Battery Handling Procedure for Cellocator Units for information about the battery and its handling instructions.
CR Family Hardware Installation Guide 5 Harness Installation Instructions 5.1 Harness Outputs Installation Specifications 5.1.1 General The following information is common for all the outputs: All Outputs are Open Collector type and can sink up to 300 mA continuous. External devices (not OEM) that consume more than 300mA should be powered by a relay. In such cases, the output implementation requires an external relay.
