Please follow these guidelines to ensure a safe, reliable installation.
Step 1. Find a power supply
Find an electrical junction box on the trailer. A typical trailer can have between 1 to 4 waterproof boxes where all the wiring is stored. If you are unsure, refer to the manual.
Step 2. Pick a mounting location
Ideal mounting locations include nearby or in the junction box.
Installation tips:
- Avoid placing the device beneath metal or near other electronic equipment
- Do not mount on hot surfaces or moving parts
- If possible, position the device's logo towards the sky
- Be consistent with your mounting locations across your fleet
Step 3. Prepare the area
Ensure the cables comfortably reach the power source and are protected from being pinched or damaged.
Clean and dry the mounting location using the supplied cleansing wipe.
Step 4. Mount the device
The device is specially designed to handle frequent reconnection from a power source, making it perfectly suited to connect to the trailer's lighting circuit.
Firmly stick the device in place and tidy any cabling with the zip ties provided.
Once connected, the LED will blink for several minutes. When it stops, the device is ready. It may take up to an hour for the first location to register on your platform. If no update occurs, contact ABAX support.
Step 5. Register the device
Find the device's serial number in the ABAX Admin app and enter any relevant details.
No app access? Setup can be completed later in the web platform by an Admin. For now, note the serial number, date, time and other relevant details such as name, make, model, Reg. No and/or mileage.
