BeforeYou Start Installing
Onlyexperienced techniciansfamiliarwithinstallingsimilar types of hardwareequipmentshouldinstall themodem. For safety
and toavoiddamagetothemodemorvehiclewiring,theinstaller shouldhaveknowledgeof thefollowingsubjects.
•Antennalocation
•Automotivewiring(if applicable)
•Vehiclecablerouting(ifapplicable)
Installation Planning
Planningis thekeytoaquickandsimpleinstallation.Before drilling holes or runningwires,youshouldinspectthevehicleor
areaof thebuildingtodeterminehowandwhereyouintendtomountthemodem, antennaandcomponents.(SeeRequired
ComponentsList onpage3).
PlanningModem Location
Factors toconsiderwhenplanningforthelocationorplacementof your iR1200modem:
•EasilyAccessible –Youshouldalloweasyaccess tothemodem (fortroubleshootingpurposes).
•EasilyVisible –Youshouldallowaclear viewof themodem’sLEDindicators.
•Proximityof theCables –Thedistance betweenconnections, especiallythatbetween themodem andantenna, affects
performance.Theshorterthe distancebetweenthesecomponents,the better thesignal. (Pleaserefertotheantenna’s
SafetyWarrantyfor proper installationof modemandantenna.)
•Environment Considerations:
!
-Heat - Placing themodem, antennaor cablesnear a heatsourcecancause
severalproblems,including radiointerference. Selecta location away froma
sourceof heat andmake sure themodemhas at leasta 1-inch clearanceon
allsidesfor cool airto circulate.
-Wetness – Themodemshouldnot be mountedin an area where it couldbe
directlyexposed towater.
-DirectSunlight – Themodemshouldnot be mounted indirect sunlight.
Modem Dimensions
Considerthesizeof themodem. Willthemodemfit intheareawhere youwanttoperform theinstallation?

Widthof enclosure4.04in.[102.62mm]
Height of enclosure2.20in.[55.88mm]
PlanningAntenna Location
Factors toconsiderwhenplanningforthelocationorplacementof the antenna:
•Choose alocationwitheasyaccess tocableroutingtoeasetheprocessof connectingtheantennatothemodem.
•Inmobileinstallation,mountthemodem antennaonthecenterof theoutsidetrunkforoptimumsignalreception.

TELUS Mobility™
10 www.telusmobility.com
•Inafixed(buildingor desk)environment, positiontheGPSantenna whereithasadirectline-of-sight tothesky. Insome
cases,thiscan beaccomplishedbyplacingtheantennaadjacenttoa window. Inmost casesit willrequiremountingoutside
of the building.
The cellular antenna(s) used for thistransmitter mustnot beco-locatedor
operated in conjunctionwith anyother antennaor transmitter. This device is
approved with emissions havinga source-based time-averagingdutyfactor
not exceeding 67.5%.
Vehicle–Antenna Installation:
•Antennas usedfor thistransmittermustnot exceed an antennagain of 5 dBd.
•For reardecktrunkandrooftopinstallations,theantenna mustbelocated at
least 20 cm awayfromrear-seat passengers andbystandersinorderto
complywith the FCCRF exposure requirements.
IMPORTANT: Failure toobserve these restrictionswill result inexceedingthe
FCC RF exposure limits.
PlanningCableLayout
Onceyouhavechosen the locationof themodem andantenna,andbefore installing,layout thecablestodetermine:
•If the cablescanreachthemodem andantenna.
•If the distancebetweencomponentsisadequateandallows youtomake adjustments toreceiveabettersignal.(Please refer
tothemanufacturer’s installationmanual forsafeinstallationof your antenna).
•If therearekinksorbendsinthecableorobstructionsinthevehicle thatcouldaffect routing.
Serial Cable Routing
Serial cableroutingisthemostimportantfactortoensureatrouble-free operation.Theserialcableshouldbeasstableaspossible
(e.g., itshouldexperiencelittletonomovementandhave fewornobendsorkinks).
NOTE: The majorityof problems occur because ofserial cablefailure.

Important things to consider when installing theantenna equipment.
•Equipmentmustbeinstalled inaccordancewithmanufacturer’s
instructions
•ToensurecompliancewithUnited StatesFCC regulations on RF
exposure,equipmentmustbe installed in suchawayastomaintaina
separation of at least 8 inches(20 cms) betweentheantennaand the
human body.

Mountthe Antenna(s)
Mount Modem Antenna
The followingtabledescribes thesteps formountinganantenna.
1Usean antenna suitableforthecellularband of frequencies(806-870MHz) withMiniUHFjackand
matchedfor50-ohm impedance.
2Mountthe antenna accordingtothe manufacturer’s specificationsorinstructions.
NOTE: Each antenna hasspecific installation instructions. Please refer to theantenna installation instructions for
specific requirements and details.
Mount GPS Antenna (optional)
The iR1200GPS-Enabledmodemcomes equippedwithaconnectorforaGPSantenna. Thefollowingtablecontainsthestepsfor
mountingaGPSantenna.
1Usean antenna suitablefortheGPS of frequency1575 MHzwithanMCX connectorandmatchedfor50-
ohmimpedance. (Useonlyan approvedantenna–see availableand approvedAntennas oneLutions’
website, www.elutions.com/wireless).
2Positiontheantennawhereit has adirectline-of-sighttothe satellite.
3Mountthe antenna accordingtothe manufacturer’s specificationsorinstructions.
NOTE: Because of theoperating frequenciesinvolved with the GPSsignal,splicingor using adaptersto extend the
length of theantennacoaxialcable is not recommended and willlikelypreventthe system fromoperating
properly. We recommend thata single length of coaxwithout splices or adaptersbe used.
