Additional tools that you may need include an ink pen, dash panel removers, socket/screwdriver set, flush cutters, and tamper seal.

Installation Overview

The following steps provide an overview of the installation process:

1. Install Preparation.
2. Device Connections.
3. Device Mounting.
4. Verification and Registration.

Installation Steps

1. 1. Installation Preparation.

   1. Record the 12-digit serial number (ESN) on your registration card.
      
   2. Locate the asset’s diagnostic port, typically found in the driver’s area at or below knee level (the connector inside the asset may differ from the image shown).
      
   3. Align the OBD connector on the harness with the asset diagnostic port and push in place.

   For heavy-duty trucks, always use a vehicle-specific harness. For confirming the appropriate Asset Model Specific Harness, please reach out to our Installation team at installs@gpsinsight.com. If you opt not to use the harness included, use the adapter harness (HRN-CG13S1) for any 16-pin (OBDII) installation method to avoid possible GO device damage.

2. 2. Device Connections.

   1. Connect the 12-pin male connector on the GO9 RUGGED device to the 12-pin female connector on the corresponding harness as shown, and click into place. Ensure that all connections are secure. All three lights on the device will flash briefly and it will emit 6 quick beeps.
      
   1. Optional: If you are also installing an IOX, connect the 6-pin female connector on the device to the 6-pin male connector on the HRN-RX06S4 and click into place.
   2. Connect the female mini-USB connector on the other side of the HRN-RX06S4 to the male mini-USB connector on your IOX. Ensure that the two USB connectors are secured with a zip tie.
      
   2. Once the device is connected and receives power, the LEDs on the front of the device start blinking then turn solid once completing the actions below.
      • Red LED — Device configuration
      • Green LED — Cellular network connectivity
      • Blue LED — GPS network connectivity

      
      The device emits two quick beeps every 60 seconds during set-up. Initial startup may take several minutes to complete.

3. 3. Device Mounting.

   
   The GPS antenna in a GO9 RUGGED is located on the same face as the LED lights on the top of the casing. Make sure that the antenna is always pointing upwards towards the sky for faster GPS latch times.

   1. Once all three LEDs have lit up, select a location to attach your device. Drill 5/32 inch pilot holes first then secure the device into place using the supplied Hex Washer head screws. Ensure that you install your device in a location where the wires will not interfere with the safe operation of the asset.
      

      Mounting position has influence on the degree of ingress protection. Ensure the device is installed against a flat surface, with the LEDs facing toward the installer. Failing to install enclosure as per intended use degrades the device from its IP69K rating to IP68.

   2. The 6-pin weatherproof female connector of the telematics device comes covered with a sealing cap for waterproofing and dustproofing. The cap should have the arrow facing towards the lock clip located at the top of the 6-pin female connector as shown. Attaching the sealing cap in any other orientation will not guarantee a waterproof and dustproof seal.
      

      If you are using an IOX, remove the cap.




4. 5. Verification and Registration.

   1. Open the verifygps.gpsinsight.com web app on your computer or smartphone, enter your Install Key, Device Serial Number and select Device Type: ‘GO9.’
   2. Follow the instructions for verification and device registration.

   

   3. Upon completion, reassemble the asset’s dashboard, and give the registration card (if applicable) to your GPS administrator.
