Fastener Considerations—User-Supplied Fasteners
To attach the module to the asset you wish to track, you must supply your own fasteners.
Depending on the construction of your mounting location, you may wish to use the following
types of fasteners. Please Note: Your choice of fastener will influence the size of the tools
required to create the mounting holes (i.e., drill bits) and install or remove the fasteners (i.e.,
wrenches/sockets/drivers). An example of this is provided below. The actual length of the
fasteners will be determined by the thickness of your mounting surface.
IMPORTANT: The maximum fastener thread diameter
supported by this product is ¼” or M6 (6 mm).
For most secure fastening, we do not recommend using fasteners
with a diameter less than that of a ¼” or M6 fastener.

3.3 Matching a module identifier to an asset identifier
In order to track an asset, the BlackBerry Radar R2 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 BlackBerry Radar R2 module is installed on which asset.
The Dashboard application tracks modules and assets using ‘identifiers’. The asset identifier is
the name or number of the asset you wish to track. The asset identifiers are entered into the
application when you add the assets and will be listed on your installation worksheet. The
identifier for each Radar R2 module is printed on three labels—two labels attached to the front
surface of the outer housing and the other label inside the battery compartment. The module
identifier also serves as the serial number (S/N) for the module.
To match a module identifier with an asset identifier:
1. Locate the module identifier for your device. The module identifier is shown in two
places.
1. Externally—temporary S/N label and permanent exterior S/N label, attached to
the front of the outer housing,
2. Internally—permanent main product label, in the battery compartment.

2. Once you are ready to install the BlackBerry Radar R2 module to the asset, remove the
partially attached label from the front surface of the outer housing and place it on your
worksheet, on the row with asset the BlackBerry Radar R2 will track and the BlackBerry
Radar H2 module identifier the BlackBerry Radar R2 will be paired with.

3.4 Module installation
To monitor cargo loading status with your BlackBerry Radar R2, there are two installation
methods that are supported.
Upper Mount: Install the module on the door frame or the ceiling of the trailer.
Side Mount: Install the module on the left wall of the trailer, just ahead of the door frame.
If you would also like to monitor door open and door closed events, you will need to install the
Radar H2 on the exterior of the trailer door.
When selecting a mounting location for either module, carefully consider how the asset will be
used during its normal, day-to-day operation.
Do not place the modules in a location where they are susceptible to damage from:
• Normal usage activities, such as loading or unloading cargo.
• Moving parts of the asset.
• Road debris.
This diagram illustrates the supported installation orientations for the Radar R2 module.
IMPORTANT: For accurate cargo detection, orientation matters.
1. For upper-mount installations, you must install the Radar R2 module horizontally.
For side-mount installations, you must install the Radar R2 module vertically.
2. For accurate cargo loading status detection, you must install the Radar R2 modules at the
end of the trailer where the cargo is loaded and unloaded.
3. When installing the Radar R2, always ensure the module is installed with the signal icon
pointing towards the cargo area that will be monitored.
4. Side-mount installations: Ensure no items are stored on the left wall ahead of the Radar
R2 module. Items in front of the module’s sensing area will affect cargo sensing.

3.4.2 Installing the module on an asset
!
1. As indicated in Section 3.3 of this guide, record the module identifier and the asset
identifier the module will be paired with. For your convenience, you may quickly create a
record of the module and asset pairings by removing the partially attached label from the
front of the module and placing it on the installation worksheet, next to the asset that will
be tracked by the module.
!
!
Tip: For modules that have previously been transferred to new assets, the temporary S/N
label may no longer be in place. If this is the case, you will need to write the module
identifier (S/N) for each module on the installation worksheet.
The following sections of this guide will illustrate recommended installation methods for
various asset scenarios.

Fastener selection considerations
Ceiling or Side Wall Installations
• If your trailer is insulated (i.e., a reefer or heater) and you wish to avoid thermal losses
caused from drilling through the ceiling, completely, we recommend the following
options:
1) Limiting the depth of drilling and using Well Nuts, along with shorter bolts, to secure
the device to the asset.
2) Attach to the asset using the accessory Adhesive Kit. Accessory Adhesive Kits are
available from your BlackBerry representative. NOTE: Accessory Adhesive Kits are
not for use on bare wood surfaces or with the Side Mount Visor.
• If you will install your device on the ceiling of the trailer, and you wish to avoid drilling
through the ceiling, completely, we recommend the following options:
1) If the ceiling’s surface is metal, plastic fiberglass, etc.--attach to the asset’s ceiling
using the accessory Adhesive Kit. Accessory Adhesive Kits are available from your
BlackBerry representative. NOTE: Accessory Adhesive Kits are not for use on bare
wood surfaces or with the Side Mount Visor.
2) If the ceiling’s surface is wood, attach to the asset’s ceiling using wood screws.
NOTE: Ensure that the screws are short enough not to protrude beyond the
external surface of the mounting surface.
IMPORTANT: If you will use the adhesive kit for your installation, and the
surface you will mount to uses laminated construction, please ensure the
mounting surface (A) is firmly laminated to the substrate (B).
If the mounting surface is not firmly laminated to the substrate, you may
receive inaccurate cargo status readings.

Door Frame Installations—U Shaped Door Frames, Only
• If you will install on the door frame of your trailer, plan to use fasteners in your
installation, and must drill completely through to the exterior of the door frame, you
must use a sealant or sealing washers to protect against possible leaks.
1) Polyurethane Sealant Application. We recommend installing the fasteners from
the outside of the trailer. This provides better sealing and protects the fastener’s
threads from continuous exposure to the weather.
If thread cutting screws are used, the door frame will hold the screws in place and
prevent the screws from turning when the locknuts are applied. Preventing the
screw from turning will allow lock nuts to be installed/removed from the inside of
the trailer—simplifying future maintenance. Apply the Polyurethane Sealant to the
rear of the fastener, prior to installation.
