
Wiringshouldbefreeofobstacles,kinksordents.Furthertheuseofwiringloomis
recommendedtopreventdamagetothecable(i.e.duetovibration).

2.4.1Powersupply

Thepowersupplymustbeconnecteddirectlytothevehicleorrefrigeratorbattery.Theincluded10A(T)floating
fusemustbefittedinthe+powerlineascloseaspossibletothepowerconnection.TheEuroscanTX3/RX3
recordersaresuitableforavoltagebetween10‐32VoltDC.

2.4.2Temperaturesensors

EuroscanTX3/RX3recorderscanonlybeusedwithEuroscantemperaturesensorsassuppliedwiththeEuroscan
package.
Beforeinstallation,itisnecessarytodeterminehowmanymeasurementpointsarerequiredtoretrievethe
desiredinformation.Onlywithanoptimalchoiceofthenumberandpositionofthesensorsasensibleconclusion
canbedrawnabouttheairtemperatureinanentirecompartment.

Thefollowingmustbeobservedbeforeplanningtheinstallationofthetemperaturesensors:
‐Thetemperaturesensorshouldnotbemountedinalocationwithoutaircirculation.
‐Thesensorpositionshouldbeprotectedagainstbumpingofload,doors,etc.
‐Thechanneloftheinteriorlightmusthaveaminimumdistanceof0.5mtothesensors.
‐Werecommendatleastonesensorpercompartmentandalsoonesensorinthereturnairflow.Thebest
positionofacompartmentsensorisinthemiddleundertheceilingatabout1/3ofthecompartment
lengthmeasuredfromtheback.
‐ThecompartmentsensorshouldbemountedwiththeEuroscanprotectionguard,whichwillallow
sufficientaircirculationaroundthesensor.
‐Forfuturecalibrationrequirements,itisadvisabletoallowenoughsparecabletoenablethesensortobe
loweredtothefloor.

2.4.4GPS

Pleasekeepthefollowinginmindwhenmountingarecorderwithinternalantennaoranexternalantenna:
‐Alwaysmounthorizontallywiththereceptionsurfacelookingup.
‐Donotchoosealocationcoveredbymetal,metalcontainingcomponentsorpaint.Alsopayattentionto
windowsinwhichmetalfilmisprocessed.
‐Mountinclearsight.
‐Wiringshouldbefreeofobstacles,kinksordents.Thiscouldbeofinfluencetotheperformanceofthe
receptionantennacable.
‐Mountinaninterferencefreelocation


TestingoftheGPSsignalcannotbecomparedtoreceptiononsmartphones.Theseusethe



WheninstallinganEuroscanRX3unitwithacommunicationmodule,preventElectricalStatic
Discharges(ESD)damagebyconnectingthepowerbeforeconnectingtheGPS+GPRSantennas.

1. SelectasuitablepositionfortheEuroscanRX3recorder,forexampleafreecarradioslotinthe
dashboard,orabovethedriver.Ifthereisnofreeslot,werecommendouroptionalmountingkitwith
P/N:001.000.1202RXmountingframenonmetal.Themountingkitcanbefittedontop,orunderneath
thedashboard.

2. Next,pushthemountingframeintotheslotandbendthemetalflapstosecureitsposition.

3. Installthesensorsfromthebodytothedriver’scabin.Pleaseensureyoufitthecablesalongthechassis
withtheharness,sothattheywon’tbreakwhentiltingthecabin.

4. Taketheconnectorblocksoffthebackoftheinstrumentandfixthecablesaccordingtothewiring
diagram(seesection2.3).

5. Connectthepowersupplyviathe10Afuseprovided,directlytothemainvehiclebattery,therecorder
willstartrecordingautomatically.

6. Nowattach,whereapplicable,theGSM/GPSantenna.


Ensureadequatepowerissuppliedpermanentlytotherecorderatalltimes.

7. Finally,beforepushingtheinstrumentintotheslot,werecommendyoutestthefunctionalityanddoa

Cablesshouldbeinstalledviawatertightcableglands.Thisavoidshumiditypenetrationinto
thebox.Foreachcableaseparateglandshouldbeusedunlessyouuseaglandespecially
designedformorecables.

InstallationInstructionTX3:
1. Markfourholesatthefrontofthebodyinaneasilyaccessiblelocation(usuallyunderneaththe
refrigeratorunittotherightorlefthandside).Thendrillholeswitha10mmdrill.

2. Insertthefourrubbermountingnuts.Mountrecorderusingthefourscrewsandwashersprovided(note
metalwashertobelocatedontheoutsideofthemountinglugfixedtothebox).Ensurescrewsare
screwedintight.Useanyavailableentranceforthetemperaturesensors.Ifnoentranceisavailable,drill
aholelargeenoughatsuitablelocationthroughbulkheadtopassthetemperaturesensorsthrough.
Pleasemakesurethatthecableglandsoftheboxshowdownwards.

3. Positionsensorno.1tothereturnair(RET.AIR)usuallynexttotherefrigeratorsensor,butonlyifgood
airflowisaroundit,otherwiselocatesensorontogrill.

4. Positionsensorno.2athighlevelusuallytotheroof,eitherinthecenterortotheside,2‐3metersin
fromthereardoors.

5. Ensureallcablesareinstalledneatlyintoplasticchannelsorsimilar.Ensurethatthereisatleast1‐2
metersofsparecableinchannels,thiswillfacilitatecalibration.

6. Connectpowercablethroughthe10Afuseprovided,directlytothemainvehicleorrefrigeratorbattery,
