MAY CONTAIN U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL EXPORT CONTROLLED INFORMATION 80-J7615-1 Rev. A
Terminal and Cables
Make sure that the TT210 system terminal and cable locations do not hinder normal operation
or maintenance of the trailer/container. Also make sure the TT210 system terminal and
cables are installed and/or stored safely out of the way of possible damage by cargo or other
factors.
Consult with the Customer Prior to Any Installation
After formulating an installation plan, inform the customer of the plan. Some customers are
particular about where parts are going to be installed or where electrical connections will be
made. It is always a good idea to have valid reasons for why installing a part in a specific area
is necessary.
What to Consider Before Installing the System
• Drill holes only when necessary and in concurrence with the customer.
• Qualcomm recommends you use existing holes on the trailer/container for cable routing
whenever possible.
• Use silicone (RTV) sealant when necessary to prevent leakage.
Installation Guidelines
When making installation decisions, consider safety, security, quality and reliability, and
accessibility.
Safety, Reliability, and Accessibility
• Use eye protection when using a drill or performing work that poses any hazard to the
eyes.
• Use ear protection in a noisy working area.
• Wear appropriate clothing or uniforms and safety shoes.
• Make sure you know what is behind the area before you drill.
• Make sure ladders and portable scaffolding are in good condition.
• Place ladders in safe positions.
• Install equipment so it will not cause damage to the trailer/container or hardware over time
or will work loose over time.
• Make sure there are no loose components/cables and no unsecured components.
• Use solid mounting surfaces.
• Install all components in a location where they will not be abused.
• Route all cables away from sharp or abrasive areas where they might become damaged.
• Choose a location where components are safe from tampering.
• Choose a location where future maintenance can be easily serviced.
