Steps: Installing Cable 4020
- Connect the Vehicle Gateway or Asset Gateway Max to the DB-15 connector of the Cable 4020.
Note: Ensure both thumbscrews are tightly secured for a secure connection. - Identify the power connection wires of Cable 4020:
- Blue (labeled Power)
-
White (labeled Ground)
- Identify the vehicle's chassis or battery ground. Use a multimeter to ensure that the selected ground reads 0V.
Note: Motive recommends battery ground over chassis ground. - Connect the white ground wire to the desired ground connection.
- Identify a switched ignition OR constant power source which provides 12-24V.
Note: Connecting the blue wire to a constant power source will allow the connected Motive device to use vehicle battery power when the engine is off. Connecting to a switched or ignition power source is recommended if battery drain is a concern. - If using an ignition or switched power source, start the engine and/or disengage the power switch.
- Use a multimeter to ensure the selected power source is providing 12-24V.
- If using an ignition or switched power source, stop the engine and/or re-engage the power switch.
- Connect the blue power wire to the selected power source with an in-line 5 Amp fuse for added protection.
Note: Using a fuse tap is recommended if installing in the fuse box. - For cable installations, create a 'drip loop' in the cable route to keep water out at the vehicle connection point.
