Identify the best location for installation:
Before the wiring harness, AMG base unit and antenna are installed, it is strongly
recommended that the vehicle cab is inspected for potential installation locations and an
installation plan is devised. Keep the following information in mind when locating a suitable
install location and plan:
1) The AMG base unit may not be installed any further than 9 feet away from the vehicle’s
interior fuse panel.
2) The external antenna (included in AMG1000ALx-VCM kits only) may be installed up to
15 feet away from the AMG base unit.
3) Antenna reception is critical for effective AMG operation, therefore the antenna must not
be obstructed by metal objects. Optimal antenna orientation is shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3: Optimal Unit Orientation
The external aerodynamic antenna mounts outside the vehicle cab (generally on the roof).
For optimal reception, the antenna should be mounted on a horizontal metal surface as
shown in Figure 3 but not be obstructed by surrounding metal objects. The mounting
surface should be no thicker than ¼”. To mount the antenna, a hole ¾” in diameter must be
drilled or punched into the surface. For roof mounts, remove any material on the underside
of the cab before creating the hole. In order to secure the antenna mounting, it is necessary
to also have access to the underside of the hole (normally inside the cab). The gasket
attached to the underside of the antenna acts as a moisture seal which prevents moisture
from entering the vehicle.
WARNING! The external antenna must only be used with the supplied cable [type=RF-195,
length=15 feet (4.5 meters), minimum attenuation=2.25dB] or similar cable with minimum
attenuation of 2.25dB. This is necessary to limit the antenna gain to no more than 3dBi in order to
comply with FCC part 24.

To attach the antenna, first remove the nut. Feed the cables through the hole, seat the
antenna on the surface, and then reattach the nut. The nut should be tight (5 ft. lbs. max) in
order to properly seal the gasket. Tighten the nut with a wrench. For unforeseen conditions,
silicone may be added around the base of the antenna. Finally, feed the cables to the AMG
inside the cab.
A good install location will be one that:
• Is not visible to the driver
• Will allow the technician to be able to see all four LEDs on the unit.
• Allows easy access to the GPS, CDMA, and GSM connections on the unit
• Enables the AMG base unit to be secured via screws, such that the screws are not
visible to the driver.
PROCEED WITH INSTALLATION ONLY AFTER
THE ABOVE TASKS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED
Note: If the underside of the threaded base bolt is exposed to the environment, a sealant is required.

5.0 Mounting the Unit
Once the AMG is connected to the Molex 8-pin connector as well as the Deutsch 4-pin
connector, the AMG base unit may be secured to the vehicle. An AMG is properly secured
when:
• It cannot be easily moved or jostled around
• The backpack antenna remains horizontal, with a clear line-of-sight to the sky. The
backpack antenna needs to be secured also if it has been unscrewed from the AMG.
• The 4 lights on the AMG are visible so that proper operation of the AMG may be
confirmed.
• No wires are loose or unsecured.
Securing the unit using Screws (preferred)
The unit may be secured to the vehicle using two #8 Pan Head Screws with a maximum
head diameter of 0.325". The recommended maximum torque is 6.0 in-lbs. If holes are to
be pre-drilled, space them 6 inches apart as shown in Figure 11.

the zip ties should be positioned inside the zip tie fences on the AMG base unit enclosure.
Figure 12: Securing the AMG base unit using Zip Ties
6.0 Mounting the Antenna
The external aerodynamic antenna mounts outside the vehicle cab (generally on the roof).
For optimal reception, the antenna should be mounted on a horizontal metal surface as
shown in Figure 13 but not be obstructed by surrounding metal objects. The mounting
surface should be no thicker than ¼”. To mount the antenna, a hole ¾” in diameter must be
drilled or punched into the surface. For roof mounts, remove any material on the underside
of the cab before creating the hole. In order to secure the antenna mounting, it is necessary
to also have access to the underside of the hole (normally inside the cab). The gasket
attached to the underside of the antenna acts as a moisture seal which prevents moisture
from entering the vehicle.
To attach the antenna, first remove the nut. Feed the cables through the hole, seat the
antenna on the surface, and then reattach the nut. The nut should be tight (5 ft. lbs. max) in
order to properly seal the gasket. Tighten the nut with a wrench. For unforeseen conditions,
silicone may be added around the base of the antenna. Finally, feed the cables to the AMG
inside the cab.
The weight of the external antenna assembly (i.e., “with cable”) is 1.39 lbs (0.63 kg).
