Asset Gateway: Devices and Installation Methods

• Use for assets without an available external power source 
• No wiring required
• Installs in under 10 minutes. 
• Supports check-in rates of 8, 12, 24, or 48 hours (12 hours recommended).

Note: Does not support Environmental Sensor connectivity.

• General cable-powered installation guide covering installation for all cable types (3-wire, 8-wire, ABS) through the Motive Fleet App. 
• Includes guided GPS/LTE signal testing before mounting and AUX line configuration. 
• Use this article as the starting point for any cable-powered AG Mini installation or for the in-app guided installation workflow.

• Use for commercial trailers, chassis, agricultural trailers, and smaller cargo trailers. 
• Cable (CABLE-AG-31.2-3WR) connects to the trailer junction box: red wire to power, black wire to ground, green wire (optional) to detect ignition on/off.
• Best to use when the trailer has a constant power source available at the junction box and real-time 1-minute tracking is required.

• Use for skid steers, excavators, mowers, chippers, and agricultural equipment. 
• The 3-wire cable (CABLE-AG-31.2-3WR) provides power, ground, and ignition detection.
• The 8-wire cable (CABLE-AG-31.2-8WR) adds two AUX wires for monitoring additional equipment states such as forklift arm position. The additional wires are reserved for future use.
• Best to use when tracking heavy equipment that moves between sites or when monitoring engine hours or additional equipment functions via AUX lines.

• Use for commercial trailers and chassis with an accessible ABS module. 
• The ABS cable (CABLE-AG-31.2-YABS) connects in-line with the existing ABS harness with plug-and-play setup and no wire splicing required. 
• Provides power from the ABS module and surfaces trailer diagnostic data, including light fault codes.

Note: The device is powered only while the trailer is tethered to a running vehicle.

• Use for connecting the AG Mini to refrigerated trailers. 
• Three power source options are covered: Reefer battery, ignition line, and ABS cable.
• Use of reefer battery as a power source is recommended when continuous monitoring is required even when the reefer is off.
• Reefer ignition line powers the AG only while the reefer is running. 
• ABS cable powers the AG only while tethered to a vehicle
• Required for fleets using Environmental Sensors (ES-2) or Door and Environmental Sensors (DES-2) on reefer trailers. Sensors require cable-powered mode on an AG-31.3 or later device.

• General solar-powered installation guide covering mount plate installation and optimal mounting locations on dry vans, flatbeds, reefers, and tankers.
• Use this as the starting point for any AG Solar installation. 

• Use when connecting the AG Solar to a trailer's 7-way (J560) connector to provide constant external power via Cable 4020. 
• Recommended for reefers and any mounting location that receives limited sunlight.
• Best to use when the trailer has a 7-way connector and consistent cable power is needed to supplement or replace solar charging.

• Standalone wiring reference for Cable 4020, covering power source identification, ground connection, fuse installation, and drip loop best practices for 12–24V vehicle power.

Note: Applies to both AG Solar and Vehicle Gateway installations.

• Use for connecting the AG Solar to a Thermo King refrigeration unit using Cable 4000 and the Cable 4001 adapter with the Thermo King 3rd-party harness. 
• Covers pre-installation setup for both BlueBox (P/N 401634) and iBox (P/N 401243) units, including enabling 3rd Party Mode and Guarded Access configuration on the Thermo King controller.

Note: ES-2 sensors in the field have older firmware compatible only with the AG Solar. If migrating to an AG Mini (AG-31.3+) or Vehicle Gateway 3, ES-2 sensors with updated firmware are required.
