7 Installation and Mounting
7.1 General Information
The installation and commissioning of CargoTrac-ExR-M1 may only
be carried out by trained specialist personnel. All regulations and
instructions mentioned in this manual must be followed.
Visibly defective devices must not be brought into a danger zone!
In any case, the corresponding directives according to 1999/92/EC
(ATEX137), EN60079-14 (project planning, selection and
installation of electrical systems) and EN60079-17 (testing and
maintenance) must be observed.
As an operator, you are obliged to comply with all legal
requirements, test intervals, operating regulations, etc.
Mounting criteria for CargoTrac-ExR-M1:
• The top part of the device (about 1/3 of the entire device) must have an
unobstructed view to the sky. This ensures good GNSS, GPS, and LTE/GSM
reception.
• Choose a position that is not too exposed, so possible damage through blows from
other equipment such as e.g. cranes, loading devices, containers etc. can be
avoided.
• Make sure you choose a spot that is far enough away from dirt sources such as
brakes, wheels, drains etc.
• Installation must be completely flat, otherwise there is a risk of leakage.
7.2 Grounding and Connection to Chassis
The device does not require a fixed connection to the ground. All electrical signals
and intrinsic circuits are separated from the ground and insulated. The nature of the
housing ensures that electrostatic charging cannot take place. The bottom plate can
be grounded by the construction of the transport container (railway car, intermodal
tank, container, etc.) and by the assembly of the device with screwing or welding.
