Always be aware of moving parts. Give adequate slack in wires. Zip-tie everything, never leave anything hanging. Watch out for turbos and exhaust as they will burn or melt the wires. When mounting Service Trackers, watch out for compartments that open, especially bob cats or other skid steers where the radiator assembly lifts up, so leave slack in wires to the Service Tracker. Know what you are drilling into BEFORE drilling (e.g., radiator, hydraulic tank, and fuse box). Always yell “CLEAR” and wait for a response before starting machine (e.g., dozer tracks, articulate steer vehicles). Never sit on tires, tracks, or moving parts, when starting a machine. Lower all attachments to the ground BEFORE shutting down the motor (e.g., dozer blade, backhoe bucket, and scraper belly). 1. Document the MiniPOD Serial Number and the Machine Number 1. Write down the MiniPOD serial number located on the side of the tracker and the machine number that you are installing the unit on for documentation. This information must be reported back to the office for tracking purposes. 2. Mounting the MiniPOD 1. Turn off the engine and the master switch. 2. Visualize how to run the wires from the battery box and the engine to the MiniPOD tracker. (We do not recommend mounting in an enclosed environment such as a battery box, metal engine bays, and closed cabs.) 3. Mount the MiniPOD with the antennas pointed upward and secure the box using self-tapping screws. 4. When mounting MiniPOD, make sure antennas are pointed to sky with no obstructions. 5. Make sure the antennas are the highest point, the higher the better, use mounting bracket. 6. When necessary, drill a hole 3 inches below the MiniPOD big enough to pull through the pigtail harness for the battery and sensor. 7. Plug the connector from the pigtail into the MiniPOD and push the two wires through the hole. 8. Connect the ring terminal ―GREEN‖ wire to a chassis ground. (e.g., frame, body, engine or frame side of master switch). NOTE: Newer harnesses will ―NOT‖ have a chassis ground ring terminal. 9. Plug the hole with the rubber grommet attached to the harness. 3. Battery Cable 1. Connect the battery harness ring terminal ―RED‖ wire to the battery positive 12V or 24V voltage. 2. Connect the battery harness ring terminal ―BLACK‖ wire to ground source on the battery. 3. Run the battery cable back to the MiniPOD and plug the connector into the pigtail. 4. Put a 3 or 5 amp fuse in the fuse holder and close the cap. A light should be blinking in the right corner of the window box eye on the MiniPOD. Now the MiniPOD has power. 5. Secure the harness using zip-ties, giving adequate slack in the wires. STIB-26771 Rev.

Find a smooth clean surface on the engine block away from any excessive heat source. The vibration sensor must be securely mounted perpendicular to the engine crankshaft, or parallel to the belts. A good location is the alternator bracket or some other belt-driven accessory bracket. Best results will be obtained when the two mounting holes sit on a horizontal plane. The sensor can be mounted on engine mounts (chassis or frame). 2. Secure the sensor using zip-ties. 3. Run the sensor cable back to the MiniPOD and plug the connector into the pigtail. 4. Secure the harness using zip-ties, giving adequate slack in the wires. Be sure to keep wires away from exhausts and moving parts. Do not block filters or routinely serviced parts. 5. GPS Antenna 1. Mount the Garmin GPS antenna on the roof or highest flat non-operating surface of the equipment. Be sure the antenna is in a horizontal position and in clear view of the sky. 2. Plug the Garmin GPS module into the M12 connector located to the left of the main harness connector. Make sure the key on the connector is aligned before you fasten it securely. 3. Secure the wire using zip ties, giving adequate slack in the wires. 6. Verify GPS and Modem Operations 1. Turn the vehicle ignition on. (The power to the GPS is turned off when the ignition is off to conserve battery power). The GPS module will need about 5 minutes to get a valid fix for the first time. 2. Press “F2” until a “D” is displayed for diagnostics, then let go. If all is well, a lower case “o” should appear. This indicates that both the GPS and the cell modem are functioning properly. Note: If an “E” is displayed--no modem is detected, a “G” displayed—means no GPS detected or GPS doesn’t have a fix yet. 7. Completion 1. Observe the MiniPOD Service Tracker. 2. If the alert light flashes on a one second interval, then it is counting hours. (Engine is running.) 3. If the alert light flashes on a three second interval, then it is NOT counting hours. (Engine is off.) 4. A horizontal bar will be displayed when the MiniPOD is polling Service Trackers. 8. Diagnosis 1. If the MiniPOD Service Tracker will not turn on or wake, check the red wire and black wire or the fuse. Use a multi-meter and check the red and black wires at the Service Tracker. If there isn’t 12V or 24V, it’s a red or black wire connection problem. 2. Make sure you don’t split the batteries when they are jumped (e.g., two 12V batteries to get 24V).

A 10/17/13 Page 3 of 3 ST-93x MiniPOD Seven Segment Display Symbols [TABLE 1] rev 1.1.0.2 DISPLAY MEANING Flashing upper case A means the MiniPOD Database is almost full of collected data (usually an indication of no cellular coverage). thru After a Service Tracker discovery, and as each successive Service Tracker is connected. Digits 1 to 8 are displayed. Entering Diagnostic Mode (hold F2 down for approximately 3 seconds) until a lower case d is displayed. GPS Error (displayed when GPS has no fix or power to GPS has been turned off or GPS malfunction). GPRS Cell modem is returning ERROR. GPS and GPRS communication all ok. When calibration mode is attempted, not available on the ST-93x MiniPOD products (when F1 is depressed for about 8 seconds). Not connected to a cellular provider. Every time on power-up until connectivity to the cellular provider is complete, and reappears when outside cellular range. Automatic radio polling of Service Trackers. Cellular modem connection is active, and the top four segments will display a rotating segment as packets are sent and received. Flashing 8 means MiniPOD is in the TDL Down-Load mode (Entered by pressing F2 10 times in within 10 seconds. To exit press F2 5 times).
