to have rmware version 2.0 or higher.
This installation must be performed by a professional with approval from Seon Design.

The required and optional contents of a typical installation package are shown below. The actual contents of your installation
package may vary, depending on the options selected.
• 20 pin cable, including power harness and
fuses

Installation
Install LMU Controller Antenna
1. Identify a suitable location for the antenna on the inside of the windscreen.
The antenna must be installed on the inside of the front windshield out of the way of the driver’s view.
The 10 foot antenna cables attach to the LMU Controller’s GPS and Cellular antenna connectors.
IMPORTANT 
• The antenna cable length is 10 feet long and cannot be extended. This may limit the location options for
the LMU Controller.
• Use only the supplied antenna. Antennas from other manufacturers will not work with the LMU Controller.
2. Using the supplied alcohol wipe pad, clean the window surface where the antenna will be installed.
3. Peel the protective cover from the foam backing on antenna.
4. Be careful not to touch or allow any foreign material to come in contact with the exposed adhesive.
5. Attach the antenna to the window.
• Do not attach within the wiper sweep area.
• Do not attach to windows that can open.
6. Run the cables to the intended LMU Controller location.

Installation
Install LMU Controller
1. Select an LMU Controller modem installation location that meets the following requirements:
CAUTION: Installation Requirements 
• The LMU Controller must be installed within the range of the Antenna cable distance.
• Install within the vehicle, close to the DVR if possible.
• Install where LEDs can be seen if necessary.
• Install in the front of the vehicle.
• Route the wiring and cables away from sharp edges that might damage the insulation.
• Avoid sharp bends in the cable.
Installation Requirements
Location Choose a dry location with easy access to the electrical panel and cable connections to mount the
LMU Controller.
Check that the LMU Controller location is within the maximum reach of the antenna cable.
Install the LMU Controller away from any place where tampering with the device or cable connections
may occur.
Surface Do not mount the LMU Controller to a plastic panel or other surface that is subject to constant
vibration.
Clearance Allow sufcient clearance of at least six (6) inches in front of the LMU Controller and two (2) inches
on each side for easy access and removal of cable connectors and ports.
Allow sufcient clearance behind the LMU Controller for antenna and power cables.
Harnesses Provide enough slack on the power cable to prevent any force from being exerted on the connectors.
A single 4-inch diameter loop is sufcient.
2. Using the supplied alcohol wipe pad, clean the vehicle surface where the LMU Controller will be installed.
3. Peel the protective cover from the velcro backing on the LMU Controller. Be careful not to touch or allow any foreign
material to come in contact with the exposed adhesive.
4. Attach the LMU Controller to the vehicle.
5. Connect all power, alarm, GPS, and Stop Arm cabling to the LMU Controller 20 pin harness using the following
