Charge the battery overnight before using your T23 Series for the first time.

2.2 Installation Site

The installation can be performed in any ell ventilated and ell lit area as found in a car dealership or

accessory installation bay. There is no requirement to raise the vehicle. To obtain the first GPS lock, a

clear vie of the sky is required, hich should be considered if designing a custom install center. A GPS

repeater can be used to obtain a signal inside a building.

Care should be taken to avoid scratching the vehicle during the installation process. Protective clothing

and vehicle covers should be used.

Installations are also performed on the customers home or office site, so a portable installation toolkit is

required.

2.3 Unit Location

Your T23 Series unit can be mounted any here inside your vehicle or boat here the unit ill not get

et and not exposed to excessive heat. The most common locations are behind the dashboard, under

the center console, and under a side panel in the back of the vehicle. Pick a location here you can

secure the unit firmly to prevent any rattling sounds after installation.

2. Antenna Location

In order for GPS to function correctly, the GPS should have a signal quality of 60% or higher in order to

receive data from the satellites. Example, if the vehicle is parked in a metal-clad building then the

performance of the T23 Series platform may be impeded. Whenever possible, it is preferred to park the

vehicle in a location here the unit ill have a clear all round vie of the sky during installation time to

test the signal strength.

If the external GPS antenna is used, the antenna module and ires should be hidden from vie by the

installer.

Common locations are:

•Under the dashboard as far to the front of the vehicle as possible

•Under the plastic cover near the indshield ipers

•Under the plastic cover of the front or rear bumpers

•In the license plate lamp (on SUV types)

•In the side mirrors ( hen space permits)

Places to avoid are:

•Under the roof or roof posts

•Under rear indo defogger ires

2.5 Personal Assistance Button Location

It is recommended that the Personal Assistance Button, hen fitted, is located ithin easy reach and

visibility of the vehicle driver, or here required in a covert location. Typically it ill be fitted into a blank

s itch position.

2.6 Installation without Internal Backup Battery

T23 Series orks ithout internal backup battery. This is recommended option in countries ith hot

climate. Po er is supplied through IO cable pins 1 and 3. Note that unit shut do n immediately if no

po er supply is present.

2.7 Internal Backup Battery

Internal Li-Polymer backup battery can handle temperatures up to 65 °C (149 ºF). In countries ith hot

climate this can be an issue. If suitable, you can install the device ithout the internal backup battery.

2.8 Recommended Installation Sequence

The follo ing installation sequence is recommended. Please refer to the instructions else here in this

document for further details.

1. Plan the hole installation and determine suitable locations, mounting arrangements and cable

routes for all hard are items.

2. Connect Fit SIM card. Temporarily mount the main T23 Series unit and temporarily connect all

iring, hile still able to see the status lights on the unit.

3. Configure the unit.

4. Test that all hard are features are orking.

5. Mount Complete the permanent installation and iring.

oPerform final test of T23 Series functions.

oTest that all vehicle buttons and s itches still ork.

.1 Fitting the SIM card

Before fitting the SIM card

T23 Series supports only Mini SIM card. Refer to picture belo .

SMS and/or GPRS support is required, voice support is optional.

•If you have not already registered your SIM card ith the mobile net ork, you should do this before

proceeding. Please refer to the appropriate mobile net ork operator instructions on ho you do this.

•Check that the SIM card can send and receive SMS using a mobile phone.

•Ensure that the SIM card is not protected by a PIN number.

•For prepaid accounts, ensure that there is sufficient load or credits to send SMS.

•It is recommended to use a ne SIM card to ensure good contact ith the SIM reader.

•Record the phone number of the SIM card.

•NOTE: If using GPRS, be sure that SIM card is 2G GSM network compliant, T23 Series

does not support 3G/ G only SIM cards.

Important Note!

When inserting or removing the SIM card from the T23 Series, it is necessary to:

•Remember to turn off the po er first before removing the battery.

•Do not bend or scratch the card.

•The golden chip should be kept clean at all times.

•To prolong the life cycle of the card, avoid any unnecessary insertion or removal of the card.

. T23 Series Wiring and Connections

Important Notes!

Unauthorized changes or alterations to the equipment or the installation ill invalidate certification

issued by the Approved Accreditation Body and could also affect the vehicle manufacturer’s arranty. If

in doubt only connect T23 Series to the vehicle po er.

All iring should be safely secured to avoid damage from, or chaffing by, any hot or moving parts.

Position the iring carefully to avoid the possibility of snagging or impact damage during the normal use

of the vehicle.

Before any holes are drilled, check that no parts, ires, pipes or tanks could be damaged at the other

side of the hole. Suitable grommets must be used here ires are routed through body panels to

prevent short circuits to the chassis.

Leave in-line fuses out of holders until the installation is complete.

Note: T23 Fleet and T23 Track inputs 1 and 3 should be connected to voltage source (Ignition and

Po ercut), but inputs 2 and 4 are connected to Ground (SOS button and for example door sensors).

T23 all inputs should be connected to voltage source.

Cable Assemblies

The T23 Series has one IO cable/Immobilizer (12/24V) for po er, ignition sensing or external personal

assistance button.

When you configure the T23 Series you ill be able to carry out tests to determine hether suitable

GSM and GPS signals are being received. If in doubt about the suitability of your planned location, it is

recommended that you only install it temporarily until you are able to carry out the appropriate

configuration tests, check chapter 3 for detailed steps.

.5 Power Connection

T23 Series I/O cable is used to connect to permanent vehicle po er in the fuse box or in regulated car

radio output. NOTE: Permanent po er source must be selected carefully.

Make sure that there is NO sound from the device hen selecting specific po er line. NOT all po er lines

are suitable.

.9 GPS External Antenna Option

This option is needed hen it is not possible to install the T23 or T23 Fleet in a location here the

internal GPS antenna ill ork. This option allo s the antennas to be located in a different location

ithin the vehicle.

The GPS antenna should be positioned horizontally and located in a position here it ill have over 60%

signal quality. The ideal location in most cars is in the underside of the dashboard; ho ever, it is

important to ascertain that there are no conductive materials present in the construction of the

dashboard prior to fitting the antenna.

The GPS antenna must have the black side facing to ard the sky. The flat side ith the magnet faces

the ground.

Important Note!

The performance of the equipment may be impeded if the antenna is mounted beneath or in

very close proximity to electrically conductive materials, such as metal, certain types of

plastic, metal film or laminate (tinted) windscreens. If this applies to your vehicle please

install the antenna elsewhere.

.10 T23 Series 2 V Installation

Older truck installations hich have been measured to provide constantly more than 24V can cause

un anted behavior, such as, T23 Series unit stops charging due to damaged I/O port; or unit stops

responding; or unit hangs.
