Halo Connect Web Services
Web Services give you full control over your data, alerts, and
reports. All of the issues in the eet, active and historical, are
easily viewed and organized, using the systems that eets are
most comfortable with, such as email. For each vehicle issue,
the portal gives recommended actions for resolution. For an
understanding of the bigger picture, we distill the data into
analytical reports to visualize the trends in the eet.
Halo Connect Gateway
The Halo Connect Gateway is comprised of a durable enclo-
sure that is secured in the cab of the vehicle. It uses a built-in
LTE cellular connection to send data to the cloud, TPMS to talk
to the sensors, and a bluetooth connection to talk to mobile
devices. It also has GPS, which noties the location in which a
vehicle issue transpired.
Halo Connect mobile application
The Android mobile application makes installation and congu-
ration of the Gateway and sensors seamless, requiring just two
data matrix scans per install. The app allows you to choose
between various truck congurations, register the vehicle in
our system, and add or replace sensors.

2. Determine where to put Gateway
Select a location to permanently attach the Gateway box inside
the cab of the vehicle.
Consider that the Gateway will have power and antenna ca-
bles attached to it that need to be routed to locations specied
in later steps. See step 5 for further instructions on attaching
the Gateway to the vehicle.
Other Gateway placement considerations include:
• Gateway should be accessible for maintenance.
• Gateway should be installed with minimum distance of 20 cm
away from driver and passengers.
• Does not interefere with passenger access or storage.
• Protected from spills and passenger movement in vehicle.
• Does not interfere with seatbelts.
• Allows for permanent attachment using self tapping screws
or other secure attachment based on eet preference.
Before attaching the Gateway box to the vehicle
review the entire install procuedure and ensure the antenna
and power cables are safely routed to the recommended
locations.

3. locate power source and ground
In order for the vehicle's tires to be monitored 24 hours, the
Gateway power cable should be connected to a 24 hour con-
tinous 12-20V power source and be securely grounded to the
vehicle chassis.
A mini add-a-fuse connector is included with the Gateway. If
using this add-a-fuse, locate the vehicle's fuse box and select
the power and ground locations.
If you are using a different power connection be sure to add a
fuse to the positive power cable.
The positive wire of the power cable must be
fused. An un-fused power cable may over-heat and lead to a
vehicle re.
Use a voltmeter to test the power source and ground
with the ignition on and off to ensure that the voltage of the
chosen fuse slot is correct and continuous..

4. attach TPMS antenna to vehicle
The TPMS antenna must be placed outside on the rear of the
vehicle and the cable needs to be routed back to the Gateway.
Find an opening in the cab to route the antenna cable from the
Gateway to the outside of the vehicle.
Once the cable is routed, attach the TPMS antenna to the end
of the TPMS antenna cable and securely attach the TPMS an-
tenna to the outside of the vehicle using at least two zip ties.
5. attach GPS antenna to vehicle
The GPS antenna must have a clear view of the sky to operate
properly. Remove adhesive protector from GPS antenna, and
place the antenna on the dashboard inside the cab. Route the
cable back to the Gateway.
Avoid creating a tripping hazard when routing
the TPMS antenna on the exterior of the vehicle.
Expected vehicle operation must be considered
when routing the TPMS antenna to avoid damage to the
antenna. Make sure the antenna is routed so it won't be
excessively stretched or cut when the vehicle turns or when
the suspension is compressed. Protect the antenna from heat
sources when routing.
