the tethered status of the trailer and a secondary source of power to the Mobile
Terminal (MT).
This procedure covers the Installation of the SkyBitz GLS 410 Mobile
Terminal (MT) and Remote Antenna (RAB) as well as the SkyBitz External
Power Module (EPM). The Aluminum Roof Mounting Brackets (XTB) and
the EPM get bonded to the inside front wall of the trailer with 3M VHB (Very
High Bond) adhesive tape. The installation is hidden from view behind the
interior front wall plywood.
The MT and EPM are to be mounted just above the trailer 7-Way connector on
the interior front wall of an aluminum roof trailer. The Remote Antenna is
mounted to the aluminum roof on the road side, just above the MT and 12
inches back from the front nose of the trailer. This forward location helps to
keep the RAB in view of the satellites when the trailer is backed up to a
warehouse. The road side location is also less susceptible to damage from low
hanging tree branches.
The EPM power cable is routed through the back of the trailer 7-Way power
connector. The EPM ring terminals attach to the Auxiliary (Blue), Marker Lights
(Brown) and Ground (White) connections. The cable ends are color coded to
match the trailer wiring for easy installation. The EPM has self resetting
protection fuses installed close to the connection terminals.
