Portable (Small) Installation
Ensure your GPS tracker has been activated prior to installation
Locate the screws
Your tracker comes with 6 screws that can be found in plastic packaging, alongside your tracker. Keep these aside until you have installed the batteries.
Opening the housing and inserting batteries
- Place the tracker upside down on a flat surface and gently lift the base of the housing to remove.
- Insert 3x AAA batteries, ensuring polarity is correct (we recommend Energizer Lithium for maximum performance as their discharge curve is superior to alkaline batteries).
Tightening screws and closing the housing
This GPS tracker has an IP68 and IK06 rated housing. The device must be sealed carefully to achieve the IP68 rating:
1. Ensure that the clear silicon seal is in good condition, is lying flat, and is not fouled by any plastic debris or other material.
2. Close the housing, and gently squeeze it shut. Foam on the lid will compress against the batteries, holding them firmly in place.
3. Tighten the 6 screws to a uniform tightness. On the first assembly, the screws may be quite stiff.
4. The silicone seal is what is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the housing. So when sealing, we are looking for:
5. If you wish to replace the batteries and open the housing, be sure to check that the silicon seal is in good condition before closing the housing again.
Mounting your tracker
Securely mount your GPS tracker to a vehicle or asset using screws, bolts, rivets, zip ties or double-sided tape attached to the base of the tracker's housing (we recommend 3M VHB double-sided tape).
