2Get ready for installation
To get ready for installation, you need to obtain a worksheet where you can record the
pairing of each Radar module to its asset (that is, the trailer/container that the module will
be installed on).
In this section you will:
•Add all assets you need to track to the Dashboard application user interface (UI)
•Download the installation worksheet
2.1 Prerequisites
To perform the tasks in this section, you must
•Have a computer with internet access
•Have an account to the BlackBerry Radar Dashboard with admin privilege
2.2 Add available assets to the application
You can add all the assets you need to track by uploading a CSV file that contains the
information about the assets.
2.2.1 Create a CSV file
CSV stands for comma-separated values. A CSV file is a text file that contains information
structured in tabular form. If you have an Excel spreadsheet that contains all the assets as
well as the required information about the assets (see list below), you can create a CSV file
simply by saving your Excel file as Comma Separated Values (CSV).
It’s important to note that your CSV file must contain all the information required for each
asset. This means that you must include the following columns in your CSV, and that each
column must contain the required information, as detailed below.
•Asset ID
•Asset type
•Door type
•Roof type
•Trailer type
•ISO container type
•Length of asset
•Width of asset
•Height of asset
You can give the columns any names in your CSV file, but the column names must be in the
first row and separated by commas (or another delimiter that you decide to use).

The content of the asset type column must match the asset type names used in the
application; for example, if you asset type is Perishable Cargo, enter that exactly in your
CSV file.
The content of the door type, roof type, and trailer type columns must use only lowercase
letters. For any multiple-word type names, you must use underscores between the words.
The table below lists all the type names used in the Dashboard UI and their expected values
in a CSV file.

3.3 Matching a module identifier to an asset identifier
In order to track an asset (trailer/container), the Radar module that is installed on the asset
must be associated with the asset in the BlackBerry Radar Dashboard. It is, therefore, very
important to keep a clear record of which Radar module is installed on which asset.
The Dashboard application tracks modules and assets using ‘identifiers’. The asset
identifiers are entered into the application when you add the assets, and are listed on your
installation worksheet. The identifier for each Radar device is printed on two labels
attached to the back of the external module. The module identifier also serves as the serial
number (S/N) for the device.
To match a module identifier with an asset identifier:
1. Locate the module identifier for your device. The module identifier is printed on two
labels attached to the back of the external module.
2. Remove the partially attached label from the rear of the external module and place it
on the outer surface of the external module. Following this approach will allow you to
easily identify the module after it’s assembled to the bracket. This is especially
helpful if you are assembling a group of modules to brackets, prior to installing them
on assets.

3. Once you are ready to install the assembly to the asset, be sure to bring your
installation worksheet. Remove the partially attached label from the outer surface of
the external module and place it on your worksheet, next to the asset identifier the
device will be paired with.

3.4 Module installation
You may install the chassis bracket assembly on any flat, vertical surface that offers enough
mounting area for the assembly. When selecting a mounting location, carefully consider
how the asset will be used during its normal, day-to-day operation.
Do not place the assembly in a location where it is susceptible to damage from:
•Normal usage activities, such as loading or unloading cargo.
•Moving parts of the asset.
•Road debris.
This diagram illustrates the proper installation orientation for the chassis bracket assembly.
IMPORTANT:For accurate tracking, orientation matters.
•You must install each hardware module horizontally. Vertically
positioned modules are not supported.
•Product must always be installed with the outer surface of the
external module facing the rear of the asset. This will ensure the
system reports the direction of travel, accurately.

1. Remove the device from the package. Remove the cardboard spacers and place
them in the device box.
2. Separate the internal module from the external module. To completely separate the
two modules, you will need to guide the cable connector through the hole on the rear
of the internal module.
3. Remove the screws from the external module. Keep them nearby as you will need
them to assemble the two modules to the chassis bracket.

4. Remove the adhesive liner from the rear of the external module.
5. Remove the partially attached label from the top right corner of the external module
and place it on the outer surface of the external module.
6. Guide the cable connector and the cable through the middle hole of the chassis
bracket.Insert the screw bosses into the remaining two holes. Confirm the top of the
BlackBerry logo on the external module is facing the overhang at the top of the
bracket. The logo should appear as shown.

7. Apply firm pressure to the external module for 30-45 seconds to ensure it adheres to
the bracket. The adhesive will hold the external module in place while you complete
the installation and help seal the device against water ingress.
8. From the rear of the bracket, locate the cable, and guide the cable connector through
the hole at the rear of the external module. Guide battery module along the cable,
towards the bracket, and place the module onto the screw bosses.

9. Place the screws into the screw bosses. Use the screws to fasten the modules to the
bracket.
Tip: For faster screw installation, you may install a T-30 Torx bit on a cordless drill.
If you use a drill to tighten the device, please use caution to avoid over tightening the
screws.
10. Connect the cables by following these steps:
1. Locate the triangular arrows on each connector. Position the cables so those
features are pointing to each other.
2. Push the cables together. You will hear an audible click once the connector’s
locking features engage.

11. After completing the cable connection, the LED will blink for approximately ten
seconds. This blinking LED indicates the device is powered on. Please note: it can
take 20-30 seconds after the cables are connected for the LED to start blinking.
NOTE: For installations using the chassis bracket, you may leave the lens overlay in
place to protect the lens, as the sensors for load detection (located under the overlay)
will not be used in these installations.
12. Stow the cable connectors in the cable connector recess. Secure any excess cable in
the cable retaining features.
Tip: When placing the cable connectors inside the cable connector recess, take care
to avoid crossing the cable over itself. Doing so can make it more difficult to secure
the cable and attach the lid.

13. Install the lid onto the internal module. Ensure lid is completely attached to the
device and all snaps have been completely engaged.
The following pictures show the difference between a properly installed lid, where all
snaps are engaged, and an improperly installed lid.
Tip: If you are finding it difficult to install the lid due to cable interference, you may
try the following technique.
1. Using a screwdriver, or your finger, apply enough force to prevent the cable from
lifting.
