Installing the Ranger Cover Plate SUPPLIES REQUIRED TO INSTALL COVER In order to install the Ranger Cover, the following items will be used. Most items are included in your shipment of Ranger equipment: - Ranger Cover Plate - 6mm hex head screw (Quantity 2) - 2mm hex head screw (Quantity 2) - Hex bit, for 2mm hex head screws - 5/16” wrench (torque wrench preferred) ** **Not included Ranger Back View Ranger Back Cover Plate Step 1 Connect the Ranger power cable to the power input as shown.
Installing the Ranger Cover Plate Step 2a Align the back cover plate with the Ranger as shown. Step 2b If there are external cables connected to the Ranger, ensure to thread the cables through the holes in the cover. The cables must be threaded in such a way that they are not pinched by the cover when fastened to the Ranger. If an optional WiFi antenna is provided, torque the R-SMA connector to 140 oz-inches (100 N-cm). Step 3 Secure the cover to the Ranger with the screws provided.
Installing the Ranger Cover Plate Torque Settings There are a number of items that may need to be installed to a specific torque level. This includes the Main Cable Cover, Mounting Ball, RF Cable Cover and antennas. The following Table lists the recommended torque settings for installing these items. Over and under torquing can lead to product damage and/or failure. We recommend using a calibrated torque screwdriver for tightening all screws.

Connection Points 1. Splicing T-Taps are not a suitable form of splicing into existing cabling. All splices must be soldered and glued. Heat shrink must be used for protection. 2. Power Power connections should be made directly to the battery and fused as close to the battery as possible. Avoid using a cigarette lighter or “Power Point” receptacles as power sources. Trapeze does not recommend wiring power directly to a vehicle kill switch because the Ranger will not power down correctly.
Connection Points b) Fuse Panel An unused ignition activated position in the fuse panel is another option. This installation requires an Add-A-Circuit fuse holder as pictured below.
Connection Points 6. Emergency Switch (optional) he emergency switch is usually installed somewhere that would allow for covert T operation. This location needs to be chosen by the customer prior to the start of installation. Trapeze will provide a switch if one is required. It is sometimes possible to use an existing switch already on the vehicle. A Trapeze Vehicle Specialist will provide details for your specific requirements.
Cabling 1. Routing a) U se caution when routing wires between the passenger and engine compartments to avoid chafing or pinching the wires. Use grommets over any exposed sharp edges and strain reliefs to keep wires in place. Seal all holes to prevent moisture intrusion. b) R oute and secure all under-hood wiring away from mechanical hazards such as exhaust manifolds and moving parts.

Electrical Measurements Always ensure that there is adequate voltage at the point where Ranger is being powered.
Antennas 1. Internal antennas Ranger 4.0 contains celullar, WIFI, Bluetooth and GPS antennas. Cellular, WIFI and Bluetooth antennas are capable of transmitting. Ranger should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm (8”) between the radiator and the operator and the operator or any passengers. The orientation and mounting location of Ranger4.0 can have an effect on antenna performance. To optimize GPS performance, mount the Ranger vertically with a clear view of the sky. 2.
