3 Device Mounting Options
3.1 Screw Mounting
The XT4970D has two flanges (two holes per) at each end of the housing for screw mounting the
device to the mounting surface.
3.2 3M VHB Tape Mounting
For a semi-permanent option, the device can be mounted with 3M VHB tape as shown below:

3.3 Trailer Cradle Mounting
An optional trailer mounting cradle can be purchased for easy device mounting for the XT4970D.
The cradle will need to be screw-mounted or VHB Tape mounted to the position desired. The
XT4970D can be easily fastened into the cradle via a Phillips head screw. The angled edged of the
cradle is designed to withstand the impact of snow scrapers that may come in contact to the
cradle if mounted on the top of a typical trailer.
3.4 Container Cradle Mounting
An optional container cradle can be purchased for easy device mounting for the XT4970D. The
cradle will need to be screw-mounted or VHB Tape mounted to the position desired. The
XT4970D can be easily fastened into the cradle via a Phillips head screw. The shape of the cradle
is designed to fit in the corrugations of an ISO standard freight container.

3.5 Device Mounting Guidelines
The XT4970D Series devices leverage solar energy to replenish the charge of its battery. Please
consider the device mounting guidelines to maximize device solar charging. Also, the XT4970D
series uses cellular and GPS technologies whose signal reception quality is depending on
mounting location and style. Adhering to these guidelines will optimize the field performance of
the XT4970D:
If possible, have the solar panel facing directly towards the noon sun. At least have the
solar panel no greater than 90° away from the noon sun.
Avoid mounting the XT4970D were shadows may cast upon the solar panel
Avoid placing unit inside a container made from any conductive materials or partially
mounted into a bracket made from any conductive materials. Doing so may potentially
degrade GPS and cellular reception.
Avoid mounting the XT4970D in low locations where dirt, grease, or any other staining
particles can be introduced by rotating wheels. Excess dirt, grease, or staining materials on
the solar panel will reduce the amount of charge the device can receive.
Avoid mounting the XT4970D to locations that are high risk to predictable physical harm.
(I.e. do not mount the unit on the top of an asset if snow scrapers are utilized in periodic
maintenance of the asset without some sort of protective bracket)
