Introduction
Halo Connect Web Services
Web Services give you full control over your data, alerts, and
reports. All of the issues in the eet, active and historical, are
easily viewed and organized, using the systems that eets are
most comfortable with, such as email. For each vehicle issue,
the portal gives recommended actions for resolution. For an
understanding of the bigger picture, we distill the data into
analytical reports to visualize the trends in the eet.
Access the web portal at: https://haloconnect.aperiatech.com
Halo Connect Gateway
The Halo Connect Gateway is a tire pressure monitoring
device comprised of a durable enclosure that is secured in the
cab of the vehicle. It uses a built-in LTE cellular connection to
send data to the cloud and a Bluetooth connection to talk to
mobile devices. It also has GPS, which noties the location in
which a vehicle issue transpired.
Halo Connect mobile application
The Android mobile application makes installation and
conguration of the Gateway and sensors seamless, requiring
just two data matrix scans per install. The app allows you to
choose between various truck congurations, register the
vehicle in our system, and add or replace sensors. Please note
that iOS is not currently supported.

HALO CONNECT INSTALLATION
Step 1. AFFIX GATEWAY ID STICKER TO VEHICLE
The gateway ID sticker is located on the bottom of the
gateway. It contains information necessary for pairing and
troubleshooting the gateway.
Before afxing the gateway ID sticker, make sure the vehicle
conguration on the product box matches that of the vehicle.
Select an easy to access location to permanently attach the
gateway ID sticker inside the vehicle. Aperia recommends the
door jamb.
Clean the surface of the placement area to ensure that the
sticker does not come off. Firmly place the sticker in the
placement area.

Step 2. Determine where to put Gateway
Select a location to permanently attach the gateway inside the
cab of the vehicle.
Consider that the gateway will have power and antenna cables
attached to it that need to be routed to locations specied in
later steps. See Installation, Step 7 for further instructions on
attaching the gateway to the vehicle.
Other gateway placement considerations include:
• Should be accessible for maintenance.
• Should be wall-mounted, at least 8 in (20 cm) away from
driver and passengers.
• LTE cellular antenna should not be obscured.
• Does not interfere with passenger access or storage.
• Protected from spills and passenger movement in vehicle.
• Does not interfere with seatbelt.
• Allows for permanent attachment using self tapping screws
or other secure attachment based on eet preference.
Before attaching the gateway to the vehicle,
review the entire install procedure, and ensure the antenna
and power cables are safely routed to the recommended
locations.

HALO CONNECT INSTALLATION, CONT'D
Step 3. Locate power source and ground
In order for the vehicle's tires to be monitored 24 hours,
the Gateway power cable must be connected to a 24 hour
continuous or unswitched 12 or 24V power source and be
securely grounded to the vehicle chassis.
A mini add-a-fuse connector is included with the Gateway. If
using this add-a-fuse, locate the vehicle's fuse box and select
the power and ground locations.
If you are using a different power connection be sure to add a
fuse to the positive power cable.
If the gateway is connected to an alternator circuit, or if it is de-
powered for any reason (such as activating a kill switch), the
gateway will not operate, and it will lose data. Ensure that the
gateway is connected to a battery circuit.
The positive wire of the power cable must be
fused. An un-fused power cable may over-heat and lead to a
vehicle re.
Use a multimeter to test the power source and ground
with the ignition on and off to ensure that the voltage of the
chosen fuse slot is correct and continuous.

Step 4. Attach sensor antenna to vehicle
The sensor antenna must be placed outside on the rear of
the vehicle, and the cable needs to be routed back to the
Gateway. Find or make an opening in the cab to route the
cable from the Gateway to the outside of the vehicle.
Once the cable is routed, nd or make a .5 in (1.5 cm) hole
through a metal portion of the truck. Guide the end of the
TPMS cable through the hole, and screw the antenna to the
hole and cable, using the attached nut.
Step 5. Attach GPS antenna to vehicle
The GPS antenna must be placed outside on the rear of
the vehicle, and the cable needs to be routed back to the
Gateway. Find or make an opening in the cab to route the
cable from the Gateway to the outside of the vehicle. Remove
adhesive protector from the antenna, stick the Velcro® square
on the dashboard inside the cab, and afx the antenna to the
square.
Avoid creating a tripping hazard when routing
the TPMS cable on the exterior of the vehicle.
Expected vehicle operation must be considered
when routing the sensor antenna to avoid damage to the
antenna. Make sure the antenna is routed so it won't be
excessively stretched or cut when the vehicle turns or when
the suspension is compressed. Protect the antenna from heat
sources, such as exhaust, when routing.

Step 6. Connect cables to gateway
On the gateway, the side label marks the port for each of the
cables, as seen below:
Step 8. Confirm gateway power
On the Gateway, ensure that the power LED is emitting green.
Ensure the cables are securely attached to the
Gateway to avoid loosening due to vibration during vehicle
operation.

Step 9. Install Halo Connect Sensors
Locate the sensor pack. Each sensor has a label that species
which valve stem the sensor must be screwed onto.
Screw each sensor onto the correct valve stem by hand, rather
than using a tool that could potentially break the sensor. Some
product kits contain sensors for Halos. Sensors for Halos
should be attached to the Halo hose.
A contaminated, corroded, or damaged valve
stem or sensor seal may cause a poor seal between the
sensor and valve stem resulting in a tire leak.
Step 10. Download mobile app
On the Gateway, ensure that the Ready LED is emitting blue.
You must download the Halo Connect app from the Google
Play Store onto a mobile or tablet device running Android 6.0
or later to complete the pairing process.

Step 11. Configure MObile App
In order to congure the gateway, you will need the following
information:
• Fleet ID - get this unique code from the primary Aperia
account holder at your company or shop, typically a eet
manager or shop manager
• Fleet Vehicle ID - truck number typically found on either
door
• VIN - 17-character vehicle identier typically found on the
driver-side door jamb
