2. Installation & Components
2.1 Installation
Locate an area to mount the antenna less than 3 meters from the Mobile Transmitting Unit (MTU). Mount the
antenna, using the Antenna mounting bracket (BK9990), and run the cables to MTU.
a) Mount the MTU in an area where there is easy access to antenna cables and the battery or power source.
b) GPS Connect the Blue colored wire to the J1 connector on the MTU.
c) GSM Connect the Yellow colored wire to the J2 connector on the MTU if connecting a GMS device.
or
SAT Connect the White colored wire to the J3 connector on the MTU if connecting an Iridium device
Connect cables to mounting location of the MTU.
2.2 Power Harness
(HN9040) (See the Wiring Diagram)
a) Connect the power harness (HN9040) (Gray Connector (A)) to the MTU at receptacle “A”
b) Connect the RED wire directly to a continuous 12-24 vDC source or the positive battery terminal.
c) Connect the BLACK wire to a good ground, preferably the negative battery terminal.
Note:The connector and receptacle are keyed so that they can only go together one way. Please be sure to line up the
guides on the connector with the slots in the receptacle when connecting the harness to the MTU.

2.3 J1939 Harness
(HN9041) (See the Wiring Diagram)
a) Connect the J1939 harness (HN9041) (Black Connector (B)) to the MTU at receptacle “B”.
b) Connect the GREEN (CAN High),YELLOW (CAN Low) and BARE (Shield) wires to the corresponding J1939
connector wires on the generator.
c) The BLUE and GRAY wires are available for use as outputs.
2.4 MODBUS Harness
(HN9042) (See the Wiring Diagram)
a) Connect the four pin Deutsche connector to the Deutsche connector on the Power harness (HN9040).
b) Connect the WHITE (D+), GREEN (D-) and BLACK (Ground) wires to the corresponding connector on the
Genset controller.

3. 2-Inch User Interface (Optional)
The 2-inch User Interface displays the status of communications to the MTU, (mobile transmitting unit).The MTU uses
GPS and at least one communication channel, (either GSM/GPRS or Iridium satellite) to send vehicle or equipment status
and position.
Connect the User Interface with the wiring harness (HN9040) as shown in the Wiring Diagram.
3.1 Operation
When power is applied your interface display will beep and the LCD will illuminate.To show that the MTU is running the
2-inch display will show one of the following messages:
1. “Wait” is the boot up message, which indicates the unit is trying to communicate with the MTU.
2. “Comm” Indicates the MTU is running, has a GPS x and has at least one communication channel open/available,
(GSM or Iridium).

8Power Generation Installation Guide Version 2.0.0 - July 2016
3.“No-Comm” with RED LED’s continuously on indicates the MTU is running but cannot get a GPS x, cannot communicate,
(via GSM or Iridium), or both GPS and communication links are down.
3.2 Diagnostics
Press the “S” button to enter the STATUS mode.Then, press “Mode” to step through status displays as follows:
For dual band system, (GSM and Satellite), GSM signal strength will display from 0, (no signal) to 5, (best signal).

9Power Generation Installation Guide Version 2.0.0 - July 2016
Sat signal strength, will display from 0, (no signal), to 5, (best signal).
GPS PDOP X 100, (a PDOP of 1.23 will read 0123,etc),9999 (means no GPS signal), For PDOP lower numbers represent
a better connection.
Main battery voltage X100 (battery voltage of 12.34Volts will appear as “1234”).

10Power Generation Installation Guide Version 2.0.0 - July 2016
Back up Battery voltage The Back-Up voltage will be the same value as the main battery voltage. The wires are tied
together in the harness.
