5000 Product Line Unit Overview
Note: All 5500 and 5200 units are shipped with a knock-out panel covering the sensor/serial ports. In order to access those
ports, you must use an X-ACTO knife to slice off 2 of the 3 tabs in order to remove the knock-out panel.
Before installing a unit, verify that the vehicle’s battery voltage is at least 12.5 V. If the voltage is lower than 12.5 V, the
battery’s health may need to be verified by a professional to determine if the battery needs to be replaced. While the 5000
series units go into a low power mode, the units still draw an average of 16 mA. Also, having two or more devices plugged
into the OBD-II port and/or the auxiliary port results in additional current draw from the battery.
Prior to installing the Networkfleet device, please start the vehicle and note any indicator lights showing on the vehicle
console which show any vehicle issues, should they be present.
