4 WT2250 Locator Installation Guide Introducing the WT2250 Locator The WT2250 Locator is Webtech Wireless s premier trailer tracking solution. It is a weatherproof device that can be easily installed on the exterior of the trailer, and can be connected to accessories that monitor telemetry, trailer temperature, or more complex trailer systems. The WT2250 has an internal battery but operates primarily off of trailer power. Features The WT2250 Locator is a relatively simple Locator meant to track the location of trailer and can be used to record data from the trailer, such as the status of doors or lights, or (with the correct accessories) the trailer s internal temperature. It is waterproof and weatherproof, so can be installed on the exterior of the trailer. Housing is both waterproof and weatherproof; the Locator can be mounted to the exterior of the trailer Internal antennas: no connections to break, no antenna wiring required Flexible and configurable monitoring options enable the Locator to connect to accessories that monitor door status, temperature, and more. 1 Webtech Wireless Inc.

5 Safety Precautions Safety Precautions General Safety Precautions Do not install or operate a Locator in areas where explosive atmospheres may be present. Do not install a Locator in any vehicle that is powered by liquefied petroleum gas or governed by petrochemical regulations without additional operational safety precautions being taken. Do not install a Locator near life support or other sensitive equipment that may be affected by radio transmissions. If required, consult the equipment manufacturer for guidance. Consult vehicle manufacturer guidelines regarding disconnecting the vehicle battery or when making supplementary electrical connections. Remove or cover any jewellery when working on live electrical systems. Secure your Equipment Installers must follow OSHA regulations for working on equipment (vehicles, trailers, or containers) suspended slings, hoists, or jacks. Whenever the equipment is parked, the parking brake must be engaged. In addition, if the equipment is parked on an incline, the wheels must be chocked as well. Equipment which is suspended or held aloft by slings, hoists, or jacks must be blocked or cribbed to minimize the risk of falling or shifting while employees work underneath. Electrical Wiring Safety Precautions Don't test electrical circuits using a test lamp. Instead, use a high impedance multi-meter with both voltage and resistance ranges. Be sure to crimp the connectors properly using the correctly sized crimp tool. Confirm that the physical connection is solid. Solder the wire to the crimped connection. Check for accidentally cut wires. These can damage vehicle wiring or devices; they can also cause a fire. Tape or heat-shrink all wire cuts so there is no risk of shorting or corrosion. If a splice is necessary, strip-away a small portion of the insulation, solder the wires, and reinsulate them using electrical tape. Secure the electrical tape with a tie wrap.

In order to protect the Locator and the vehicle systems, the WT2250 power wires should be fused. Solder the Locator cable RED (primary power) and WHITE (ignition) wires together, and solder this connection to the fuse holder. Insulate the connection. 10. Add a ring terminal to the other end of the fuse holder. 11. Insert a 10A fuse into the fuse holder. Secure the fuse holder cover with a tie wrap. 12. Add a ring terminal to the end of the Locator cable BLACK (ground) wire. 13. Secure the fused ring terminal to the back of J560 connector PIN Secure the BLACK wire ring terminal to the back of J560 connector PIN Apply die-electric grease to the connections to reduce possible corrosion. 16. Clip or tie back loose Locator wires. Insulate the ends to prevent unintended connections and potential damage to the Locator electronics. 17. Stuff the wiring into the nose cone and replace the nose cone face plate. 18. If possible, use tie wraps to tie the Locator cable to any available holds. Create drip loops to reduce the chance of water intrusion. 9 Webtech Wireless Inc.

13 Installing the WT Seal the hole you drilled with silicone sealant. Apply sealant from the inside of the hole for the cleanest appearance. Verification Once the Locator is installed, you must verify that it is working. Part of this process requires you to call technical support and have them perform some checks, as only they have the tools to determine if the Locator is functioning at certain levels. 1. Supply power to the trailer. Connect the trailer to a vehicle, and turn on the vehicle ignition. 2. Once power is supplied to the trailer, check the LEDs on the Locator. When first powering up, the orange and yellow LEDs will blink. Wait a minute or two for the orange and yellow LEDs to go solid. LEDs If neither LED lights up, it is most likely that the Locator is not receiving power. Check the trailer power and Locator wiring. If the orange LED will not go solid, you may be outside of cellular network coverage or your SIM card may be wrong or missing. Confirm that you have network coverage and/or unplug the Locator and check the SIM card. Webtech Wireless Inc. 10

14 WT2250 Locator Installation Guide If the yellow LED will not go solid, you may be out of GPS coverage. Move the vehicle into an area of better coverage (outside if possible). 3. Upon seeing the orange and yellow solid LEDs, call technical support for an installation check. Do not remove trailer power. Technical support will confirm if the Locator is operating correctly. Note that the name of the trailer within Quadrant system will be the Locator serial number; you can request technical support change the trailer name while on the call with them, if desired. The trailer name can also be changed later as needed. However, if you choose to perform the renaming at a later date, note that it is the your responsibility to record which Locator serial number is associated with which trailer. Once the installation check is complete, turn off the vehicle ignition, replace any vehicle panels that were removed, and clean up the installation area. 11 Webtech Wireless Inc.

15 Installing the WT2250 Installing the WT2250 with a Temperature Probe The WT2250 s integrated 1-Wire feature supports the installation of a temperature probe to monitor the trailer s internal temperature. Tools and Materials You will require the following tools and materials to install the Locator with a temperature probe: Webtech Wireless Temperature Monitoring Kit Wire cutters and strippers Socket set Soldering iron and solder Power drill with 1/2 drill bit and driver bits 2 x 10A fuses and fuse holders Extension wires Grommets Self tapping screws (#12, 3/4 for mounting the Locator, smaller for eye-straps) Heat shrink Electrical tape Silicone sealant Tie wraps Ring terminals eye-straps Die-electric grease Webtech Wireless Inc. 12

16 WT2250 Locator Installation Guide Procedure Mounting the Locator 1. Record all pertinent trailer and Locator information before beginning the installation (serial number, trailer type, etc.). 2. Ensure that the WT2250 is fully assembled and the SIM card is installed. If the Locator was supplied unassembled and the rubber feet have not been applied to the Locator, apply them to the bottom of the Locator (the side with the label). 3. Remove the refrigeration unit shell and locate the refrigeration unit battery. 4. The WT2250 is waterproof and weatherproof, so it can be installed virtually anywhere on the exterior of the trailer. However, some locations are better than others. The refrigeration unit on the front of the trailer offers new opportunities and restrictions. Do not mount the Locator directly below the refrigeration unit, as its bulk may interfere with the Locator s GPS reception. If the refrigeration unit has a fibreglass shell, you can mount the Locator on the trailer wall inside the refrigeration unit; the shell will protect the Locator from weather and damage. However, do not mount the Locator inside a metal-shelled refrigeration unit as this will interfere with GPS reception. If there is no space inside the refrigeration unit, or the unit has a metal shell, mount the Locator on the trailer front wall to the side the refrigeration unit nearest to the refrigeration unit battery. Note that you can (and should) cut the Locator cable to length as needed. In any case, clean the selected location of dirt and grease. 5. Secure the Locator to the trailer using self-tapping screws. Alternately, drill holes in the trailer wall and use the mounting bolts provided. Note that the Locator will shed water best if it is mounted with the cable facing downward. Wiring the Locator power 1. Remove the face plate from the trailer nose cone to access the wiring inside the J560 connector. 2. An extension wire from the Locator must pass through the nose cone housing in order to connect to the trailer wiring. Drill a hole in the nose cone housing, either through the bottom or side nearest to the mounting location. Do not drill through the top, as this increases the likelihood that water will enter the nose cone. 3. Insert a grommet into the hole. 13 Webtech Wireless Inc.

17 Installing the WT Run the WT2250 cable to the refrigeration unit battery 5. In order to protect the Locator and the vehicle systems, the WT2250 power wires should be fused. Solder a fuse holder to the WT2250 cable WHITE (ignition) wire, and solder an extension wire to the other end of the fuse holder. Insulate the connections. 6. Solder a fuse holder to the Locator cable RED (primary power). Insulate the connection. 7. Add a ring terminal to the other end of the primary power (RED wire) fuse holder. 8. Insert 10A fuses into both fuse holders. Secure the fuse holder covers with tie wraps. 9. Add a ring terminal to the end of the Locator cable BLACK (ground) wire. 10. Secure the primary power (RED wire) ring terminal to the refrigeration unit battery positive terminal. 11. Secure the ground (BLACK wire) ring terminal to the refrigeration unit battery negative terminal. 12. Run the ignition (WHITE wire) extension wire out and along the bottom of the refrigeration unit, and drop it to the nose cone. Ensure that the fuse remains inside the refrigeration unit shell. Secure the extension wire with tie wraps wherever possible. 13. Run the extension wire into the nose cone through the hole you drilled. 14. Add a ring terminal to the end of the extension wire. 15. Secure the extension wire to the back of J560 connector PIN Use eye-straps and self-tapping screws to secure the dropped extension wire to the trailer wall between the refrigeration unit and nose cone. 17. Apply die-electric grease to all ring terminal connections to reduce possible corrosion. Wiring the Temperature Sensor 1. On the inside of the trailer, locate the factory temperature sensor (the sensor used by the refrigeration unit). 2. Use eye-straps to mount the Webtech Wireless temperature probe to the trailer interior wall as close to the factory temperature sensor as possible. 3. Run the temperature probe wires through the trailer wall to the Locator cable. You can run the wires through the refrigeration unit cable pass, or drill a new hole. If you drill a new hole, add a grommet to the hole. Secure the wires with tie wraps or eye straps wherever possible. You may find it useful to run the wires along the factory temperature sensor cable. Add extension wires as necessary. Solder and insulate connections. 4. Connect the BLUE wire from the Webtech Wireless temperature probe to the WHITE/ BLACK (1BB) wire of the WT2250 cable. Solder and insulate the connection. 5. Connect the BROWN wire from the Webtech Wireless temperature probe to the BLACK (GND) wire of the WT2250 cable. Solder and insulate the connection. Alternately, add a ring terminal and secure the wire to the refrigeration unit battery negative terminal. Clean up 1. Clip or tie back loose Locator wires. Insulate the ends to prevent unintended connections and potential damage to the Locator electronics. 2. Stuff the wiring into the nose cone and replace the nose cone face plate. 3.
