Notice
1. Notice
Due to the nature of wireless communication, the reception or transmission of data can never be
guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted, or never received. Data transfer problems are rare with well-
constructed and configured wireless networks used in conjunction with devices such as the CTM-500
wireless gateway Cypress Solutions Inc. accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind including, but not
limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property due to the delay or loss of data resulting from the use of
the CTM-500 wireless gateway.
1.1 Operation in hazardous/restricted environments
Wireless transmitters can cause interference with some critical operation equipment. For this reason, it is
required that the RF portion of the CTM-500 wireless gateway be turned off when in the vicinity of blasting
operations, medical equipment, life support equipment, or any other equipment that is susceptible to radio
interference. The CTM-500 wireless gateway must be turned off when on-board or in the vicinity of any
aircraft. The FAA prohibits the use of wireless transmitter equipment at any time during aircraft flight.
1.2 Regulatory restrictions
CAUTION: Any modifications to the CTM-500 wireless gateway not expressly authorized by Cypress
Solutions Inc. may cause its regulatory approval status to become invalidated, thereby voiding your
authority to use the product.
The CTM-500 wireless gateway contains a wireless module approved under FCC CFR 47 part 2.1091 and
Industry Canada RSS-102 rules for operation as a mobile or fixed device with its specified antenna of gain
≤6dBi and from which a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8”) must be maintained from all persons at all
times and during all modes of operation. Internal antennas are not available, when external antennas are
used, the antennas used must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter. These rules are in place to prevent any possible hazard due to personal exposure to
electromagnetic radiation.
CTM-500 devices are designed to operate with the approved wireless module installed. The module has its
own FCC and Industry Canada approval ID number.

Notice
1.3 Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) –United States FCC Information
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to part
15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a commercial installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communication. However, there is no guarantee that harmful interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving/transmitting antenna(s)
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
1.4 Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) –Canada Information
This digital apparatus does not exceed the class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as
set out in the interference causing equipment standard entitles “Digital Apparatus”, ICES-003 of the
Department of Communications.
Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques applicables aux appareils numériques
de Classe B prescrites dans la norme sur le matériel brouilleur: “Appareils Numériques”, NMB-003 édictée
par le Ministre des Communications.

SIM Card Installation
4.1 SIM card insertion and removal
1) Unlock the SIM card door by sliding it to the left until the door unlocks, then swing the door open.
2) For single SIM card installation, insert the SIM card into either of the slots of the dual SIM holder.
Ensure that the copper contact is facing upwards (chamfered corner to the front left).
3) If applicable, the second SIM card can be inserted into the other slot of the dual SIM holder.
4) Close the SIM door securely by sliding it to the right until a ‘click’ is heard.
Please refer to the video guide as an additional resource here.

CTM-500 Installation
4.2 SIM Removal Tool
The SIM removal tool is used to facilitate the removal of SIM cards. The tool is included with every CTM-500
device shipment. The opposite end of the SIM removal tool also serves as a main fuse removal tool.
5. CTM-500 Installation
Select an installation location that will provide optimal cable routing for external connections for power and
antennas and other accessory equipment such as vehicle Engine Control Unit (ECU) and General Purpose
I/O. Ensure the location of the CTM-500 is free from dust or moisture and cabling is protected from
accidental disconnect or damage.
5.1 Physical Mounting
The CTM-500 includes a flexible, shock absorbing mounting bracket that has eight 5mm (3/16”) diameter
mounting holes suitable for M5 or #10 screws. Use either the outer or inner 4-hole mounting pattern to
secure the bracket. Take care not to over-tighten. Clip the CTM-500 into the 4 tabs of the bracket.
