INSTALLATION
1 General
BBX is a wireless GPS unit with AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) capability. The unit has
been designed for use with a Computer Aided Dispatch system to monitor fleet vehicles
on the road. It can be equipped with several different RF Modems, or connected to a
conventional radio system. As well, the device has several vehicle inputs and can attach
to several different peripheral devices via USB or RS232 communication.
The BBX is shipped pre-programmed with the appropriate communications and
application software. In some cases, however, it is necessary to re-program the units with
updated files prior to installation. Please refer to the BBX Programming application note
for details on re-programming and configuring the units.
CAUTION
When installing the BBX, ensure that there is sufficient slack and/or strain relief in the
cables that connect to the unit so that if the position of any of the attached devices
changes, the cables will not cause any stress to occur on the connections to the BBX.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the unit.
